Of movies and monographs


Saturday, May 26, 2012

Students appear to have expanded their reading selections from purely academic to popular as well within the last day.  Between the Game of Thrones and Hunger Games series, our holds list has been growing hourly.  One cadet was overheard proclaiming: “I love Hemingway! I am going to read all his novels – only two more to go!”

With a new system I have implemented, which gets more student feedback for selecting our nightly movies aboard, we broke the movie attendance record two nights in a row! Over 25 cadets came down to watch Austin Powers in “Goldmember,” and then over 50 last night for “Master and Commander: The Far Side of the World.” Tonight, “The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo” brought a comparatively paltry 45 cadets down to the lounge.
