What's Been Going On? Updates, Accomplishments, Plans and More!

Let's begin this with saying that I know I promised to review more, and post more, and change the way this blog has worked, and I'm aware that I haven't been able to yet. But, I am in the process of doing my best to begin doing that, and that starts with this post.

I reemerged from radio silence about twenty minutes ago (you'll be reading later) to scribble out a review of Grey's Anatomy's latest episode. The reason it took so long for me to get back to this was because school has been insane, and I just haven't had the time. My schedule is super booked this year, especially because I do take part in athletics, and I have a ton of extra activities that I have committed my time to this year. As most of you know, I am still in school, and homework doesn't go away as much as we beg and plead for it to, and it also doesn't do itself. Unfortunately, that invention still has yet to come out.

Here is my lengthy list of life updates for you guys:

- I entered Scholastic Art and Writing Awards for the first time and made my debut with two of my poems that I had written earlier in the school year. I did win two silver keys! In case some of you don't know, Scholastic is a competition where many students enter their art, photography, and/or writing into to be judged, and the awards are gold or silver keys or honorable mentions.

- I signed up for the Mountain Goat Run of Syracuse for the second time, I ran last year as well. A momentary panic a couple days ago when I realized that I now have three weeks to try an get ready to run a 10 mile race that I haven't even begun to prepare for, oops.

- I applied, and was accepted to the Champlain Young Writer's Conference that takes place in May at Champlain College! I am super excited to meet other aspiring authors in the three days that I'll be there.

- I signed up for Hartwick College Springboard Diving Camp for the third time. I absolutely love it there, I've always had great experiences and I love the coaching staff. That's one of the major things that I'm looking forward to for the summer.

As things continue to unfold, I'll keep you updated and I'll do my best to continue with this blog. TV show reviews will go up, they might go up slowly but I promise they will go up, along with much much more.

Law and Order Special Victims Unit: S17E18 Sheltered Outcasts Review

Image
Sheltered Outcasts was released on March 30, 2016. This episode was decent enough, and it had a good line of suspense. A quick recap of this episode, Detective Carisi is deep undercover in a homeless shelter, where known sexual assailants are housed. The investigation into the shelter is triggered by a serial rapist the detectives need to catch. Detective Carisi was roughed up by some men in the shelter, but survived. The man of suspicion is Richie Caskey, a man who Detective Carisi thinks is a good man. In a shocking turn of events, it turns out the rapist is Caskey's lawyer, and that was figured out after the shelter's therapist was raped and murdered, and another victim IDs his voice while standing in the middle of the squad room with Olivia. This episode was a good episode, I didn't see much of Dodds Jr. so I'm not sure what is going on there. It was great to see Lieutenant Benson back in action, after being transferred because of a sex trafficking ring that her boy...

Grey's Anatomy Season 13 "Don't Stop Me Now" Review

Image
So last week's episode of Grey's Anatomy was our first one back since Meredith and Nathan officially became a "thing" after their experience on the plane. I was eager to see how they would play Maggie, given her previous liking of Riggs and how he turned her down. This episode was unfortunately very predictable, which I don't really like when it comes to shows, I enjoy suspense. This episode opens with Meredith in front of a mirror rehearsing what she's going to say to Maggie about her and Nathan, with Alex getting ready to leave around her while being forced to listen to the role play. They finally decide on one in the hospital bathroom, but the plan is foiled when Maggie figures out the newest couple at the press conference that was being held to honor the achievements of what happened on the plane. She's annoyed, hurt and angry as we expected, moving from ignoring, to rudeness, to tears. Maggie finally seems to forgive her at the end, when she agrees ...

Law and Order: SVU S17E11

Image
Townhouse Incident aired on NBC January 13, 2016.  This episode could quite possibly qualify as one of the worst SVU episodes that I've ever seen. A quick background of this episode; Olivia's regular babysitter Lucy, is having a problem with her family, and was complaining to Olivia. Being the good person that she is, she heads for the townhouse, only to be taken hostage along with two children and their mom. This is evidently traumatizing to her, as she wasn't able to stop the sixteen year old girl from being raped by Joe, one of the hostage takers. In the end, the snipers take out Joe as he exits the townhouse with the intent of running off with Benson. It gets one out of five stars from me, and here's why.  The producers of SVU are overplaying the "Olivia Benson in trouble" and my guess is that they are responding to the rave reviews that they received out of the William Lewis season, where Benson is taken hostage twice in season fifteen. This episode also ...
