I went to school today. I stopped at the bookstore. Wouldn't you know it? I bought the wrong book for Client/Server. 
I can exchange it out for a credit and get the right book when I get the books for UNIX. Those books weren't in yet. I also got the books for Film class. The books for Film are A History of Film by Virginia Wright Wexman and Film Analysis by Jeffery Geiger and R.L. Rutsky. One of Nicki's coworkers is in the class with me. I found that out browsing for the Film books. I'm glad I don't have to buy the books for Calculus nor for Special Topics. 
That's about $200.00 saved from those classes. Also while I was at school, I bought a book on the Pascal language for $3.00. I may never read it, but it will be nice to add to my computer books library.
Also while I was at school, I put a couple of hours into working on the IIR project I have at school. On my way out, I got some information for my sisters to attend Armstrong. I don't know if Nicki will attend, but Beth probably will in the Spring. She wants to take German classes. And guess what? German is taught at Armstrong. My dad should be glad about that.
When I got home, I found a message on MySpace from an old high school classmate. She wasn't sure if I would remember her, but she remembered me a quiet, but honest person. She was in my 9th grade Geography class. If I had a reputation at school, besides being the quiet, smart, wallflower, it came from that class. After 4 months of nothing happening in that class, except a majority of the students talking and doing nothing, I had had enough and blew up in the class. I called them all losers and stormed out of the class. Another teacher in the Social Studies department, who had a free period that class time, took me into her classroom so I didn't have to stay with the others. It had been known for a while that I was not happy in the Geography class. A few of the kids from that class, including the girl that messaged me, one of the few decent students in the Geography class, were in English with me in 11th grade. By then, those classmates knew to let me be quiet and do my work. All I wanted to do was my class work and get a decent grade.
I'm still a little down about how dark my hair is. 
I'm hoping it will fade to a lighter shade. If it doesn't, I might had to do buy some coloring that will give my hair some red tones. It might look natural to others, but it doesn't look natural to me.
