May 16, 2015

 This morning I woke up earlier than I would have liked. But rather than going back to bed, I got up and made a few slides for the sixth grade slideshow. I also finally put a roof on my house in Minecraft. I'm a big fan of the roof. The house has a bit of an odd shape and the second floor is slightly raised in the back so that made for a unique challenge but I think I did a pretty good job.

After lunch I did something, probably, and then I took a nap. That lasted about three hours. And it was great. When I woke up I took a shower and got ready for the end of the year staff party. Around the time we would have left it was really raining and the thunder was incredibly loud, which was freaking the dogs out. Tanner was trying to get downstairs but I compromised and opened up the bathroom upstairs and he immediately climbed in the tub. I also threw in one of the dog blankets in there just in case he wanted something soft. With the current storm, and the radar showing another round coming in, we decided not to go to the party. I was perfectly fine with that because I am not a fan of parties or social gatherings in general.

With my newly free night, I worked on the slideshow and managed to finish all of the individual slides. Tomorrow I would like to finish all of the group slides and start assembling everything. The more I can get done tomorrow the better because this coming week is going to be busy.

When I finished the slides I played some GTA5 while doing my laundry. I started out playing online and immediately had a bounty placed on me, which meant everyone on the server was going to try and kill me. I could have hung out in my garage for 48 minutes but that is dumb and the game was ridiculously laggy so I couldn't have made it back to my house even if I wanted to. After being killed by a player that was lagging all over my screen and invisible most of the time, I tried switching servers. It didn't help the lag. Then I tried playing singleplayer and it was also laggy, so I assumed it had something to do with my computer. I restarted it and that seemed to fix things because I was able to play online after that. I completely one mission to steal a car and I updated my haircut and clothes. Then I switched over to singleplayer because that is more fun than playing online. I can actually accomplish things, as opposed to racing and stealing cars. I interested in the story, also, so that is reason enough to play the singleplayer.

To finally confirm my suspicions, and disbelief, I checked online tonight to see when summer classes start. One of my professors mentioned Monday and it turns out classes do in fact start on Monday. That is ridiculous. There is a single week between the end of the Spring semester and the start of the Summer semester. What the hell is up with that. I still don't have a final grade in one of my classes from last semester. Two weeks would have been acceptable, three weeks would have been preferable. One week is just dumb. The textbooks for one of my classes arrived today and tonight I ordered the books for my other class. One of them will be here Tuesday but Amazon didn't have the second one so I had to get it through the bookstore. Hopefully standard shipping doesn't take too long because we're supposed to read the first chapter in each book this week.

Looking at the calendar that I found on the school's website, it looks like there is also a single week break between the Summer semester and the Fall semester. Something to look forward to. The only real break is between Fall and Spring when we get six and a half weeks off. Doing the math, we should have four weeks for winter break and take those extra weeks to allow a two week break after the Spring semester and after the Summer semester. Oh well.


Now it is late, and I'm finally tired, so I'm going to go to bed. Tomorrow will hopefully be a productive day.
