Let's just hope nothing gets stuck...

So Lucy likes to eat pretty much anything. Last night this meant a cloth toy and the stuffing inside. Lucy also has a sensitive stomach, and these two things were a bad combination, which made for an interesting morning. It's OK though, because I had to get up early to study anyways.

I took my online sociology test last night and it was easier than I even imagined. Looks like all I'll need to do is write down the page numbers of everything on the review sheet the day before the test, skim the chapters, and then take the test. This is my kind of class for sure.

Today I got up a little after 7 and started studying for Physiology. I usually make notecards for my bio classes, but since this teacher reviews constantly, I figured I would just read the chapters again and make a list of important terms and facts. I tried to finish the first chapter last night, but I was too tired, so I had 2 1/2 chapters to do today.

I took Lucy over to my parents' house at 9:30. Sam Smith was coming to tune the piano, and I assumed it would be hard to tune a piano with a dog crying and/or growling constantly. I told mom to keep an eye on her since she had been pretty sick and came back to the house just in time for Sam to arrive. It took him about an hour and a half to tune it, and I just studied the whole time. I think the piano was so flat that he couldn't raise it all the way up to A=440 for fear of breaking strings, but at least it is in tune with itself now. It was pretty awful before.

After he left I made a quick lunch, studied some more, and then left for class. I left a little early because Oliver kept wanting to play. I guess he gets bored when Lucy isn't around to mess with. I studied in my car for a little bit when I got to Tech and then went in.

Note to myself - when you are taking a test and have to stick around for lecture, and you happen to be a very fast test taker, bring something to do after your done. Unfortunately I didn't do that today, and after I finished my test I had to sit in my chair doing nothing for at least 45 minutes. Oh the things I could have accomplished during that time. I thought that I had over prepared for the test, but found out later I got a 93, which seems about right. I think this next section is going to be more difficult though.

After class I stopped by Best Buy to see if they had the new "A Day To Remember" CD. They didn't, but that was OK because I had made arrangements to meet Joe at Oriental House right next door, so the trip wasn't wasted. See when I make plans to eat with someone, I don't cancel and then go somewhere else without inviting them...Joe...

Dinner was delicious as always, and afterwards we went back to the church for rehearsal. They had vocal callbacks tonight, which meant no team meeting, which meant lots of sitting around before rehearsal. I have been practicing drawing a good cartoon dog during class (it's just what I do during class), and so I drew my latest version on the board in the office. Joe took a picture later and I am hoping he posts it on his blog, because it is a pretty good drawing.

Rehearsal went really well tonight. Things sounded very good with very little work. They even have 10 singers with individual mics, but it really didn't take much to have them sounding great. I think I do so much mixing with orchestra and other random instruments that any week not involving tons of condensers on stage seems easy.

I left work around 9 so that I could catch the second half of the Duke vs. Clemson game. I figured we match up better against them than we do Wake or UNC, so I figured we had a shot, but I don't think anyone was prepared for the outcome. We demolished them...it wasn't even a game...it looked like we were playing a high school team. I think they only scored 21 points in the first half. It feels pretty awesome to beat the #3 team in the country by more than 20 points. I only wish we would have been this good when I was there.

That was my day. I skipped running because I had so much to do, but I think I'll go ahead and make up for it tomorrow. It's going to need to either be warmer or less windy though...I don't think I could handle running in weather like today's...
