yawn
I'm bored...

opening day
Well, today was Opening Day for Baseball Season. The Mets got killed 15-2 by the Cubs. The Yankees are currently holding Toronto in a shut out 8-0, but Jeter got creamed at third by their catcher, Huckaby, and dislocated his left shoulder. He's out indefinitely. {{sobs}}

class
This program in C is actually a huge challenge for me. I've got to do some research on strings to finish it up. I'm having some issues with it being a pain in the butt about printing stuff on the screen with the colors I want.

I *will* win. I will not be bogged down by some silly game program! {{makes vow to finish}}

assignments
I also have to do research on those palm pilot and phone emulators and see if I can get them running. I need to finish those up before I leave, since I don't think I'll be too excited about doing programming after driving home on Sunday. I also need to work on my taxes (hopefully Dad didn't print on the back of my instruction booklet again) and finish up my FAFSA tonight. Then, I have two days to work on my assignment to hand it in Wednesday night. It's due Thursday, but I won't be here, I'll be at Grand Assembly.

grand assembly
Aly and I are meeting Lisa, Missy, and Charsie at the coffee truck at like 7:30 in the morning. That means I have to pick up Aly around 7 or so, which means I have to leave my house at a quarter to 7. x.x;; Early-ness... Lisa and Missy have to be up there early on Thursday for rehearsal with the flag tribute and Aly has a Page meeting right after lunch, so we need time to get our stuff settled into our rooms. Plus, I have choir rehearsal right after the Page/Go-Fer meeting. Most of the Go-Fer's are in the choir, so we have the choir meeting/rehearsal after their meeting.

I just have this horrible feeling I'm going to be so bored...

game update
Toronto just scored 2 runs... {{grumbles}}

bored
Of course, I'm bored right now. This class is like nothing. I'm going to bring my book and my midterm with me to Grand Assembly. It'll give me something to do on all the down time I think I'm going to have. I have to call Aly after class tomorrow and see if she wants to do the poster Wednesday night or if she wants me to do it. I don't remember when we have to hand them in by. Maybe I can do it Thursday morning before lunch if Aly can't. Or, the two of us can work on it together at that point. I should get silver star stickers and dark blue oaktag. It'll cut down on the amount of work that we have for our idea.

We also came up with a variation of the poster to use for our door. I just have to find a large tissue paper ball in blue. I have plenty of rainbow colored ribbon, so that's not a big deal. We'll also need to do paintbrushes. This year's theme is "Paint the World with Rainbows" and the Grand Assembly theme is "It's a Small World". Each district was assigned a country that they had to dress up as for dinner Thursday night. We got Bolivia. {{shrugs}} Oh well. We always end up with the weird ones. For the Disney theme, we got Pinnochio. The last time we did countries it was for the Olympics. We ended up with Brazil. For the "Under the Sea" sessions we did last year, we were seals.

Maybe Suffolk's just got bad luck when it comes to picking things like that out of a hat.
