I woke up this morning, made a couple edits to the image database
assignment, and posted it to the discussion thread before the class
meeting. When it was finally time for the meeting it was only me in
the chat room and then two of my other classmates, who happened to be
in the same town today, which allowed them to be on a webcam and
present their findings. It probably would have been way easier to
present but I prefer writing. I can't remember the exact time but
the meeting didn't last too long with only three people there, so I
was good to go before lunch.
After lunch, and throughout the rest of the day, I did a good job of
avoiding writing my paper for my other class. I thought about it a
lot and did some research but didn't actually start writing. I will
do that tomorrow. I'm going to try and pretend it is due tomorrow.
It isn't due until Monday night but I need to pretty much have it
done tomorrow because I start volunteering at the public library
tomorrow so I won't be able to work on the paper until after dinner.
The plan is to have it done tomorrow and then I can read through it
Monday night and make whatever edits I need to before submitting it.
It sounds like a pretty solid plan.
This afternoon I took a nap because I was tired and I was avoiding my
paper. I haven't taken a legitimate nap in quite some time. I've
taken some mico ones while sitting in my computer chair but I'm not
counting those. I miss naps. It's a good time to lay there and
think about all the random things and just drift in and out of sleep.
It seems that when I try and think about random things at night my
mind revs up and I can never fall asleep. That doesn't happen with
naps for some reason.
Tonight I reconnected my Mom's TV to the cable. When she went into
her room it said her TV wasn't connected and she went through all the
setup stuff but nothing came of it. I investigated the main hub in
the living room and eventually discovered that the wireless receiver
had come unplugged. We have Dish and the wireless is plugged into
the main DVR and that sends out the signal to the other receivers in
the house. It took forever to get the one in my Mom's room to find
the signal and connect but we got it working. Still not sure how the
receiver became unplugged because it is plugged into a power strip on
the floor behind the TV stand but whatever.
While not writing a paper today I looked at shoes. My regular shoes
for quite awhile now have been Chucks but I think I should get
something different for the ALA conference. I think there is a
better option for being on my feet and walking around a giant
convention center for several days. Considering the announcement was
just made, the actual schedule of things and what will happen hasn't
been announced, beyond the general description of the class they put
out with the application. There are a couple required dinners and
I'm not sure how formal those are going to be. I think that might
impact my shoe decision. I also need to buy new Chucks for
graduation in May so I might buy comfortable shoes for the
convention, and pack my Chucks to wear at dinner if we have to wear
nicer clothes. Chucks go with everything.
There's a lot I need to think about before the convention but that
isn't until the end of June so I need to stop thinking about it for
the time being so I can get through this semester. Next weekend is
going to be another stressful one because I've got another discussion
post for my technology class and I have to review a database license
as if I were a library for my other class. Originally the due date
for the license review was the twenty-first of March but it got
bumped up to the thirteenth. It is worth the most points out of any
this semester so no pressure.
Anyway, it's almost one o'clock in the morning and I'm tired. My
lower back is also bothering me and sitting doesn't help, so I'm
going to go to bed. Sleep sounds pretty good right now.
