I went back out to school today. In addition to the book return I had to make, Matthew had to do a few things, too. So, we went together. He had to get verification that he's in school. He got a parking decal, as did I, and a new ID card while we were there.

I stopped by the bookstore for the return. I think the manager was grumpy. What's with the grumpy faculty members at my school? I could here her complain about them not taking returns. Oh, but they took mine. I explained what happened. The IT books are so close together, it's easy to confuse them. Then to boot, it doesn't help that the book I did need was not in stock. The mistake book and the Calculus books horde the place the real book I need should take. Made it easy to confuse them. Then, I was asked twice if I had the proper book in hand. No, I didn't. I explained that the NACS books weren't in. I've got 2 other books from the publisher I need. They just made it a bigger hassle than it was, in my eyes.

I'm not going back out to campus until Thursday. i wonder if I can talk the professor in to canceling Special Topic's first day of class so I can hang out at the ACM cookout. I think working the cookout would be better for me at the moment. I'll see Thursday.

And if you can, please keep my friend Tamm and her family in your thoughts and prayers. Her mother is terminally ill.

In more "happy news," I got my first greenlight on Fark last night. I was not expecting the link to go green.

I'm going to go. I can't tell if the booming I hear is the band practice at the high school or thunder!
