This happened as I was going down the stairs today singing "I'm Gonna Find Another You." There's a line about dressing up. I had sort of dressed up today. I wore this cute shirt I bought the other day at Old Navy. Not only was it a cute shirt, it was a comfortable shirt. That line was just resonating in my mind.

I did have a good day today. The first thing I did was vote on a local sales tax referendum. 2 taxes were to be decided on. One deals with education. The other deals with county improvements. I vote for one and against the other. My polling place is my high school. Just before I walked in, an old couple walked in. They annoyed me. They had nothing ready for the pollsters. You're required to present a photo ID and to put your date of birth on the sign-in form. The wife didn't have her ID and fussed about having to present it. She didn't want to pull it out. Her husband didn't put his DOB on the form. He was able to vote before she and I did. They only had 2 booths today. My fear was having to wait and run late for school because I had to wait for the couple. Thankfully, the husband was quick to vote. He assisted his wife, who couldn't or didn't want to read voting card's instructions. They used the same booth, leaving the other booth for me.

It's not that I don't have patience for old people. I had my ill grandmother live with us for years. I just don't have patience for people that don't follow instructions as simple as those required to vote.

School itself was fine. My IR class met in the lab today. We have to get the website up by the end of this month. I spent 2 hours after Calc class working on the project. I had to finish my conversations and start working on the webpages. So far, I've made $28.00 this week. I could have worked 3 hours, but I needed time to work on my Calc homework.

Calculus is going better the second time around. I did get a 10 on last week's quiz. I'm understanding the information now. I don't feel as clueless. I'm doing the homework, which is really helping a lot. My goal is to make at least a B in that class. So far, I'm doing it. I only got one of the homework assignments done today. I'll finish the other one and correct myself past assignments tomorrow. When I'm not working, of course.

I also had a crazy thing happen today. Mike returned my Strangers book! I lent it to him to read about a year and a half ago. He gave it to me as I peaked into the IT lounge to see if Renee was in there. I had given up on getting that book back. I figured he lost it, never to be seen again. I would have to buy myself another copy. I've been looking into getting another copy, but just not willing to pay the prices on Amazon.com. It an unexpected surprise to get my book back. Now I can read it again, when I get the chance. I live a busy life. It was my favorite book from ENGL 2201.

Client/Server class was fine. We worked with VB.net and a SQL database. I didn't get the assignment complete. I got most of it done. I can work on it tomorrow after I get home from school.

Tomorrow, I have the choice between Honors meeting or Math/CS colloquium. I think I'm going to the colloquium. That's another point for my scholarship. My CSEMS scholarship comes first. I have half the points for it this semester.
