Geez Louise...this has been a long week. You may have noticed that I have not posted for quite a while. I'd like to say that I was on a secret mission as a black op and just couldn't tell you where I was, but actually I was just so far behind on school work that I was up very late every night studying. I figured it would be nice to take a break from blogging since I would be fairly tired and busy until I was through my tests. I'm sure many of the three of you who read this blog were overtaken by the sadness of not being able to read my wonderful words each day.
The good news is I came through with flying colors. I wrote a pretty good paper for Psychology, made a 94 on my Micro test, and I'm pretty sure I nailed my Statistics test today. At first I was sad that my 94 wasn't a 102 like last test, but then I was like, it's a 94. I think my wife's overachieving spirit has started to rub off on me or something. Anyways, I do have two tests next week too, but they shouldn't require as much intense studying as the last two. That's what I get for not looking at my Statistics book since the test before.
I can't even remember all that happened since I last wrote. I remember I wanted to talk about running sound on Sunday. I thought it ended up sounding pretty decent. I really think that going through all the channels on Thursday helped a bunch. I have also found that I really enjoy running sound. It's something that I feel like I am fairly gifted in because of my ear and knowledge, and I also really enjoy making something good behind the scenes. I don't think most people really even think about it consciously, but I think that really good sound just helps the service flow and helps people get more engaged. I also know what it's like to be on the stage side and feel uncomfortable with the sound. I find alot of fulfillment feeling like I can recognize the full potential of the talent and hard work from the musicians and singers through the sound. I still do miss the creative musical aspect sometimes though.
There were a few other things of importance that happened. Kristi's class t-shirts came in, and they look pretty good, so good that I think I'm going to wear the one she got for me on a regular basis.
Today was a really long day in itself. I got up a little after 9, got ready, and then took Lucy for a walk. I wasn't going to let her get muddy, because I didn't want to give her a bath, but she slipped and fell in the mud a few times when running around in front of a house with drainage issues. Seriously, they just pressure washed the driveway, and since it rained it is completely covered in mud again. Sooo...I had to give Lucy a bath when we got back, which was no fun like usual.
After that I literally studied for 6-7 hours straight. I hadn't even opened my Statistics book since my last test, so I had to learn everything. I had gone through a few sections the last night when I got home, but left most of it for today. I left either ESPN or HGTV on in the background so I didn't go completely crazy. By the way, Charter now has HGTV in HD. I like to think that my phone call prompted them to move forward with that.
A little after 4:30 I had finished the two assignments I had to turn in when I took my test, and had finished studying so I left to take the test. The testing center closes at 7, and you have to get there by 6 to be allowed to start, so I was cutting it pretty close. The test seemed pretty easy. I would say that I made a 100, but I didn't know one of the fill in the blank questions. I love math, and it frustrates me that there is so much short answer and fill in the blank on these tests. Actually I think my favorite class at Clemson when I was a bio major was probably Calculus. I just like working with formulas and numbers. I definitely had some Performing Arts classes I liked more, but that was a completely different world than Biology.
Kristi got home a little after I did and we went to Moe's to dinner. I love Moe's, but their ice maker wasn't working tonight. That was pretty disappointing, because it you know me you know that chewing ice is pretty much my favorite part of drinking drinks. This is why I never use a sissy stick (or a straw for those of you unfamiliar with the term). The food was good though, and the Diet Coke was cold, so I survived.
After that we rushed home so I could watch the Clemson vs. Wake Forest game.
What can I even say about the game. I have become very hardened and apathetic to Clemson football the past few years, and usually I feel indifferently disappointed about the losses. This game for some reason was like old times. I don't know if it's that Wake Forest tried to hand it to us, or because I saw so many players on our team that should be going high in the draft with their talent level, or that we only scored 7 points, but I was just completely and utterly disgusted with the game. I think another thing that adds to it is the comments on ESPN. All day I heard about how people predicted Clemson to be an outside shot at the BCS title game this year, and about how much of a disappointment we are. During the game I heard about how bad the ACC was, and how disappointing we were. Then, and I kid you not, the announcers were making references to it being time for Tommy to go. It's just sad.
Anyways, I guess it's just football, as depressing as it is. Tomorrow I'm going to work, and then I don't know what is happening tomorrow night. I would like to see that new "Body of Lies" movie if it is clean enough. Maybe I'll see if Kristi wants to go see that. Then again, it would probably have to come out of my allowance...
