Today was exciting. Or it wasn't in the least. The second statement
is more accurate. After waking up I read a couple textbook chapters
and then I ran on the elliptical before lunch. A good chunk of my
afternoon was spent finding and downloading all of the articles I
will need to read for one of my classes this semester. Twenty-four
in total. It takes quite awhile to use the university library
website to find the journal, then the right year and volume, and then
the article in the journal. But I eventually managed to find all of
them and I not only downloaded them but I also added them all to
Zotero just in case I have to cite them at some point in the
semester.
Tonight we had our first online meeting for my web design class. It
was basically just an introduction to the class but I learned that
when the professor was having her graduation party last weekend (she
just got her PhD) everyone had to hide in her basement because of
tornado, which ripped the roof off of her garage and threw it into
the field behind her house, along with a wheelbarrow from the garage.
Scary stuff. There were only four or five of us in the meeting but
each one will be recorded and I believe there is going to be a
meeting every Tuesday night. They will probably become more
important as the semester goes along once we get into coding and
working on websites.
Throughout the day I watched movies. I watched Doom and the
last two Matrix movies. I vaguely remembered Doom but
I had forgotten that Dwayne Johnson turned into a crazy bad guy, even
before he turned into a mutant. The second and third Matrix
movies weren't as bad as I remembered. Part of it was probably
due to me not paying close attention to the storyline. I think I
paid too much attention to the plot when I first saw them all those
years ago. It quickly becomes very convoluted. Not unlike a lot of
trilogies these days that should have stopped after the first one.
The prime example being The Hunger Games trilogy.
While I was finishing the last Matrix movie I played a little
Minecraft. I finished the path from my barn out to where I
plan to build the Nether portal, as well as the bridge and steps
leading up to the future Nether portal. Now I just need to find
diamonds so I can mine obsidian. After the Nether portal, I need to
go in and collect a bunch of glowstone so I can make better lighting
for my house. I also need to light up the interior of my farm. I
have torches on the outer fence but not a lot is going on inside. I
have some ideas but haven't gotten around to it yet.
