blogger update
I was able to change one little thing on my template, then it stopped letting me do it. Grrr...

interview update
Well, I think the interview went well today. It's an airplane maintenance facility at the airport in Islip. The position itself is pretty neat. A lot of clerical and receptionist type duties, but it's closer to home than these others I've talked to and the pay's good. Plus, I get all sorts of benefits, which is always a good thing. Eugene (the guy I talked to today) said he'd get back to me by the middle of next week.

vet update
Dad took Marbles back to the vet again today. He got another shot and Dr Savino gave him another medicine to try (once every other day) in addition to the stuff we're now giving him. Then, he wants to see him back in two weeks. Once we get the leg pain thing under control, we'll see about doing anything about his hyperthyroid. Dr Savino said the cat's hormone levels aren't too drastically high, so he's not overly concerned about it. He felt the same way about the elevated white blood cell count and the slightly elevated blood sugar. All were still fairly close to normal, so the vet thinks most of it is just that the cat's stressed out.

I say again, a cat that sleeps all day has stress?? If only I could have a life like his...

class update
I did most of the homework with Tina last night before I left. Hopefully, she'll be able to get the book this weekend and won't need to share mine. I've only got two pages left of the assignment that's due Monday. Prof Stephenson also gave us our take home midterm. It's due Apr 10th, right before Spring Break. I also have to remind both my teachers that I'm going to miss class on the 3rd and 4th for Grand Assembly. I spoke with both of them the first night about it. Both decided that we're not having class on the 4th anyway. It's only a make up class, and they're both giving take home assignments to do instead of having to attend class. However, I think Prof Lucero is having a test on the 3rd, and I want to make sure I can take it either before (maybe Tuesday or Wednesday) or after the weekend (perhaps Monday). I'll talk to him about it again on Monday, just to remind him.

permstor update
Well, I think that's what it's going to be called. We have our first big technical meeting on Saturday at a diner in Commack. I'm kind of excited. While I don't have much to bring as I really don't have a huge webfolio for myself, I need to take some time today before we go out to think of any questions for the other two programmers. I'm really looking forward to this one!

tutoring update
I got paid!!! The paperwork finally went through and I got my first paycheck. A whole $65.33. Oh well... it's better than nothing. The check arrived yesterday in the mail, I deposited it today. Prof Spratt said he got my check by accident. They give him his check in person instead of mailing it to him. Well, apparently 'Sul' and 'Spr' are right next to each other in the Briarcliffe payroll. My envelope got stuck to his. So, he put a stamp on it and mailed it for me since he wasn't sure when he was going to see me. He told me that on Wednesday. He must have dropped it off at Patchogue because I got the check really fast.

Dean Rob also said he put in my group tutoring sheets. So, I have two more checks pending from the school, the second individual tutoring sheet, and the several group tutoring sheets.

I think Jen is seeing Chris now, though. He's in her math and physics classes, like I was last session, so it's easier for him to check over the homework with her than it is for me, since I don't know the assignments. However, if I have to sit through another no show with Evelyn, I'm going to freak.

I also have to remind myself to correct the tutor sheet that Dean Rob posted around the school. I'm not a networking tutor/major... I'm a programming tutor/major. {{sigh}} Big difference there. Oh well.

social life update
I'm going with a bunch of friends to see Dreamcatcher tonight. YAY!! I'm just happy to be going out.
