Thursday, July 10
About yesterday:
Yeah, we had lots of thunder and wind and rain during explorations [4-5], but the rain was gone by 5, and the thunder and stuff by about 5:30. It was freaky because we were doing I Ching [which was a lot of fun], and for my upper and lower trigrams I got thunder and wind. =D
If you don't miiiiind, could you get me the book? [You basically need to book to do it, because the readings and stuff are what the book's made of]. The RA running it said it was a good book, and it's fun to do out of boredom. You don't have to, I guess. But the ISBN# [or whatever] is 0-691-09750-X.
Going and listening to all the colleges say "Our music program is very strong," and being generally general, was really dumb. Especially because there were all these little no-name community colleges.
But the forums afterwards were interesting. I was just gonna go to the one about music, but then the RA that does the percussion class [who was running that forum] was saying how good the college essay class was, and how you could get free access to her pay-website about how to write college essays.
It was pretty interesting. She said to do a lot of stuff I'd never thought about, some of which was really weird..
Before Explorations, one of the cleaning people left a door to Lora Robins propped open, and so they closed off the building and had to search every hall/room for a person. They didn't find anybody, though. Which I suppose is quite good.
Today... the field trip was okay. The van didn't have as many seats as they said [the back seat was out], so Alan got really mad, but they got an RA to drive the remaining 3 people.
None of us played very well, but they were a bunch of little kids, so they probably didn't catch it at all.
The school building is big/pretty, but Petersburg is a reaaaally slummy place. Apparently, their county's highest SOL pass rate on any of the tests is 40%.
We were gonna go to 7-11, but there weren't any on the way. There was a Starbucks [ick! But at least it was some place non-UR], but because we were all in different cars and couldn't really communicate the idea, we just had to go straight back.
Course 2 was here, in the library. You know what that means? I got my computer login/password to work! So I'm using a PC for the first time in two weeks. Turns out my login name was "govsbemcd" not "govsbemc" like the paper slip said. [grrr]
