I took a nap as soon as I could once I got home from school. I needed it. I had a headache carrying over from yesterday's dialation. I think I'm finally over the effects of it.
School was fine.
I had a quiz in Civ. on a few chapters from Machiavelli's The Prince. I didn't blow it all but I did master it. I'm not worried about it. We spent the rest of class discussing these chapters. After that class ended, I ran into my English professor onto the way to English and we discussed the glasses versus contacts debate. We have the same view that contacts are better if you want to wear different sunglasses. As for class, we got into groups to go over parts of Oedipus Rex in groups and then in front of the class, we paraphrased it. And in CS, we got back our test papers from Friday's test. I got a 99. The loss of one point was due to me crossing out a lot of code in one problem. I'm not going to dispute it.
Next Friday, we get a 15 point make up quiz for the test since the rest of the class did poorly on it. Tomorrow, we start the final section we have to go over in History 1100 and I have another Psychology test.
I can't stand much more of Psychology.
All this week is an all-campus read week devoted to the works of Flannery O'Connor. Tomorrow, there will be a one-woman show, "Flannery O'Connor: In Her Own Words" by Beverly Fatheree. I'll be going to that since I can get some extra credit on it. Then Friday, I'll be going to O'Connor's childhood home after classes. It's downtown but the school will provide transportation. I'll be taking the digital camera to it in hopes of getting a few pictures.
My English professor was excited to hear me ask if I could bring a camera.
Finally, a little meme I snatched from Christine:

I thought the "Tell me something about you that I don't know" question was a little silly. There are things I want to keep private and I do not express them on this site.
