At the beginning of yesterday I knew that I only had my 9:30 class. My 1:05 and 2:30 classes had been canceled. It would have been nice to skip my 9:30 but we were reviewing for the test. That basically means that the teacher has the test in his hand and tells us what we need to know as he goes through each question. It’s pretty nice. Without that there would be so much crap to try and memorize.
After class I checked with my group members to see if we were going to have a meeting. We normally have meetings every Thursday night but we had one earlier in the week because the latest draft of our project was due on Thursday. There really wouldn’t be a point to have a full-blown meeting because none of us planned on working on the project over break. Rather than having the meeting at 5:15 like we usually do, we decided to move it to 2:30 and only meet for about a half an hour. The main point of the meeting was to talk to two of the group members about their previous work on the project. It hadn’t been that great and there really isn’t an excuse because the program we are using pretty much tells you exactly what you need to do.
So, I got out of class at 10:45 and wanted to go over to the library to work on my 3D bottle. I figured I’d work on it for an hour or so and then head home for lunch before coming back for the meeting. Well, I ended up working on the bottle until 2:20 and I really didn’t make any progress. I felt like I was finally getting somewhere around 2:00 but it was too late for the light to fully come on in my head. I’ve come up with some more ideas though so I’m going to try it on my laptop and then work on it again in the library after spring break.
I headed over to the
I decided to make the best of it though and head over to talk to my teacher about my test. The one I had missed one question on. The other day he said he had a meeting but that he would be in his office during the time we normally had class if we wanted to stop by and see our tests. I looked at my watch and it was our normal class time so I went over to the business building. I got up to his office only to find that he wasn’t there. I gave it a minute or two before deciding to leave. I’m sure if I had waited a little bit he would have turned up but I was already annoyed by the group meeting thing so I was tired of school related stuff.
As I walked to my vehicle I was still a little frustrated but by the time I got to my vehicle I decided it was still a pretty good day. It was only about 2:45 and I would have time to go home and knock out a short paper and then have the rest of the day to relax and play music or video games or something. This brightened things up because I haven’t played video games all semester.
When I got home I fixed something to eat and then sat down to watch TV for a little bit. Shortly after sitting down I got a phone call from work. I can’t remember the last time I answered a call after seeing that it was my work on the caller ID. It’s been a long ass time. For some reason I felt compelled to answer it this time though. A week ago I had asked someone to take my shift on this day because I thought we were going to have a group meeting. Then I was pretty sure we weren’t going to have a group meeting but I thought I might have a meeting about the rat training that I signed up for. Then that wasn’t going to happen so I checked with the guy to see if he still wanted to work and he said he could use the money. Well when I got the phone call I figured maybe he had changed his mind and I would have felt bad if I blew him off.
That was a mistake. It was one of my managers and he said one of the workers was having some personal issues (her boyfriend cheated on her) and he wanted to know if I could come in and cover her shift. I really wanted to say no but I didn’t want to be a douche so I said ‘yes’. It was only a three hour shift though so it wasn’t too bad. Still frustrating though.
My day had gone from alright because I only had one class. Then kind of annoying because I could figure out the 3D bottle thing. Then even more annoying after the group thing. And again more annoying because my teacher wasn’t in his office. But then all of that was forgotten with the prospect of playing music and video games. Then back to annoying with having to go into work.
After work I came home, had some dinner, and then rather than starting my homework I took a nap. I think that was a good decision. I enjoy napping and I don’t seem to get to do it as often as I would like. When I woke up I finally got to work on my homework. I was watching a couple movies on TV at the same time so it took me quite awhile to write a two page paper. But I finished it so it’s all good.
The paper was for my persuasion class. We had to pick a persuasive message, analyze it, tell why it was persuasive, and what techniques were used. I picked a 32-second PSA for underage drinking that I had heard a few days earlier on the radio. I got on the website and found the PSA so I was able to download the audio-clip. I transcribed it in my paper but the teacher wanted a copy of the message. I almost emailed it to him but he said his computer was getting fixed so I didn’t want to risk that. My final resort was to burn it on a CD. It felt like such a waste using an entire CD for one 32 second audio clip. I was tempted to add in some music just to fill up the space but I have no idea what type of music my teacher is in to so I decided against it.
After finishing the paper I went to preview. I had the option of watching Never Back Down, Doomsday, or Horton Hears A Who. I kind of wanted to see all of them. It was easy to narrow down the choices though. Never Back Down looked entertaining in a horrible way but the preview gave everything away and I didn’t want to stay up until 2am just for that. The weird guys at work were going to Doomsday and I didn’t really want to sit in a theater with them. I imagine they would sit near me and be annoying. That left Horton Hears A Who. Everyone else going to that so it was a no-brainer. It was a good movie though. The animation was really good and it had some good quotes. My favorite quote was “In my world everyone’s a pony and they eat rainbows and poop butterflies.” Classic.
When the movie was over we hung out in the lobby for awhile and talked. I should have just left. If I had, my keys wouldn’t have ended up in some guys pants, my keychain wouldn’t have been broken, and someone wouldn’t have taken my phone and taken a picture of their man-nipple. I was annoyed by all of that. Eventually we moved outside and talked for awhile longer. I think I made it home and to sleep around 3am or so.
Thursday was an eventful day. More so than I would have liked. It ended on a good note though so I can’t complain too much.
