Today was humpday, which has definitely turned into more of a hump than usual with my new schedule. I dropped Lucy off at my parents like usual this morning. There is a guy doing some renovations on their house, and he calls her the "barking beagle," because she barks and growls at him. When we got there today he said, "well there's the crazy one." Lucy proceeded to bark.
I got to school a little early so I sat in my car for a few minutes. I've been listening to Augustana's newer CD again...I really like it alot. Psychology was not my favorite as always. We talked about school systems and lower class vs. middle class schools. I just don't really enjoy the class discussion because no one in the class is an expert on anything we discuss, so it is mostly people throwing their opinions out there. Oh well, at least it's not a hard class.
Micro lab was not fun today. Our teacher, Ellen Gower, is a really to-the-point person, so normally our labs get out early. Today we had a sub, and this lady belabored every single point, and it took forever. It made me really happy to have Mrs. Gower as our usual teacher. I was planning on going to lecture, but after the experience with the sub in lab I decided I would rather not. My friend Nate felt the same way, so we decided to go to lunch. His little brother really wanted to hang out with him, so Nate picked him up on the way. He was only 12, so he was a little immature, but he was pretty cool for the most part. I was pretty amazed at how much he idolizes Nate. I also found out that Nate's mom has some pretty serious cancer. She has been getting some type of gamma ray radiation, and has been feeling better, but it didn't really sound too good overall to me. Cancer affects so many families it seems.
After lunch I went to work. I thought about going to Wal-Mart, but I didn't want to waste the gas, so I just went to work early. Today I spent a good portion of my work day fixing an XLR cable. It had been popping, so I re-soldered the ends on. First, I mis-numbered the pins, so I had to solder a second time. Then, I realized that it had something to do with the female connector, so I had to solder a different one on. After that it finally worked, but it was quite an ordeal. I also did some other random things and then ran sound for rehearsal tonight. Things didn't really go too smoothly, but I think that I should probably just realize that most Thursdays will be like that. Usually by Sunday most kinks are worked out and things go much better...hopefully that will be true this week. I thought it sounded decent by the time rehearsal was done, so I'm sure it will be fine. The sound changes so much after the chairs get set up and a bunch of bodies are in the room that it is really tricky to mix to what it will sound like on Sunday. It seems like if things are just barely a touch on the harsh treble side, then on Sunday alot of those highs get sucked up and it sounds good. Too much highs though and it stays harsh...not enough and it gets muddy.
The band had to practice for Refresh and for Sunday morning, so I didn't end up getting home until 10:30. I didn't get to see tonight's HGTV Househunters Tropical Paradise edition, and I'm betting I probably missed the Aruba edition. It's just the way things go for me. Kristi was in bed when I got home, but woke up to talk a little, and Lucy was very excited to see me like always. It's such a nice feeling to have a pet cry with excitement every single time you come home. I guess that's what having kids will be like...I mean if they like me.
Tomorrow I don't have too much to do. My mom is going to give me some advice about plants for our yard, and then I think Kristi's mom is too. We are going to buy some tomorrow so that we can do some landscaping Saturday. I think we are also babysitting the Starrs tomorrow night. Babysitting isn't really my thing, but Kristi loves it and it's extra money, so I'll survive. I haven't broken the news to Lucy yet.
