Urinetown- A, Northtown’s productions are always good, but this musical was even better. The acting, singing, and kissing were great.

Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows- C, So far so good, but it is lame that the HP fans have to wait until next July to see the second half of the final movie.

No Shave November- B, Some just can’t and shouldn’t grow facial hair, but it raises awareness of prostate cancer.

Weather- F, If it is going to be this cold outside, we should at least get snow so there is a chance for a day off.

Justin Bieber- C, his songs are good, but this fever has carried on for a little too long.

Boys’ Swim & Dive Team- A, Northtown hasn’t sent more than one swimmer to state in years, so it was very impressive that the team took three boys.

Winter Sports- A+, They are hard and time consuming, but they’re keeping the athletes in good shape over all the breaks.

Thanksgiving Break- B, It is great to get a few days off and stuff your face with food, but it is just a tease when school starts back up and winter break seems decades away.

Christmas Lights- A+, Christmas lights are awesome; there is nothing better than taking a drive to look at some lights, while singing along to Christmas songs with family or friends.

Gingerbread houses- C, They are always a good idea, but they never turn out as good as you want them to.
