Wednesdays...ugh. I feel so tired right now. Something about leaving at 8 in the morning and not really getting home until 10:30 or 11 just stinks. I guess I did come home for a few minutes for lunch, but that doesn't really count. The only reason I did that was to stick to the saving money scheme.
I woke up fairly early to get ready so that I could take Lucy to my parents' house. Lucy was pretty excited to see Molly this morning. Sometimes when I take her over it makes me think that Lucy would really enjoy having another dog in the family. The problem is I have no time to train another puppy, and neither does Kristi. I wonder what we would get though...maybe a Bassett Hound or a Dachshund?
After dropping Lucy off I went to school and faithfully attended all my classes. As if we hadn't already discussed childhood obesity enough in Psychology, we discussed it again for 15 minutes. After that we discussed ADD and ADHD for the rest of the time. I have drawn some really cool doodles in that class.
In Microbiology we talked about pandemics and endemics and how they relate to outbreaks of diseases and viruses caused by microorganisms. It got me thinking about what a cool word "pandemic" is. I think you could probably use that to make a pretty good band name...maybe screamo or metal. I also thought of a really good book title for someone talking about how the gospel relates to the world, or maybe about something related to missions. I would call it "The Pandemic Gospel." Pretty cool, don't you think?
After class I stopped at home quickly to eat lunch. I finished the rest of the lunch meat, so I am not sure what I am going to pack on Friday. I may have to be creative, or maybe I can just eat breakfast and then hold out until dinner. Did you know that I never eat breakfast? After making my lunch I quickly cleaned up and got in the car to drive to work. On my way I called the small engine repair place at Five Forks. I dropped my broken weedeater off there the other day just for them to see what was wrong with it. I figured if it was something simple there was no reason not to pay a few bucks to get it fixed. Well today was the moment of truth, and it wasn't good. Apparently there is something really wrong with the engine that causes the compression to be way too low. And apparently there are no serviceable parts in Briggs & Stratton 4 cycle engines, so you would have to buy a completely new engine to fix it. Sooo....anyone want a broken weedeater? I guess that lady really did rip me off. I feel naive to be a part of craigslist scam. Live and learn I guess.
I had a bunch of stuff to do when I got to work. I did something I would enjoy first; soldering a new male XLR end to this tiny mic cable we have. I love to solder. After that I had a ton of stuff to clean up on and around the stage. I also ended up moving the percussion off the stage because there is no one playing the stuff this week. I was glad that tonight was my eating out night, 'cause I was hungry after moving everything around. Joe and I went to Zaxby's around 5, and Zaxby's generally does not disappoint.
I am running sound this week, so when we got back we went to the pre-rehearsal meeting and then I got ready. It ended up being a fairly frustrating night. There is a big orchestra, along with all the other regular instruments. All the stuff that is going on makes everything really muddy and loud, and this problem is only exacerbated but the large amount of live mics all over the stage. I spent most of the night just trying to figure out how to create some space for the singers. Hopefully things will turn out well on Sunday, we'll see. I did get several of the instruments sounding pretty good by the end.
After rehearsal I just went and picked up Lucy and then came home. I have formed more opinions on the new CD's I got, but I think I'll wait until tomorrow because I am so tired. I bet you can't wait to read tomorrow's post!
