Last night in Film class, we watched Pather Panchali. It was kind of depressing. If I wanted to watch a poor family, I could just remember my childhood days. I know my family was better off, in those days, than the family in this film, but my family was not well to do in the 1980s. We had a nice house, but that took a majority of my father's paycheck. My family didn't become well off until my dad got out of the Army. I remember days were dinner would be buttered rice. I didn't need to watch it in movie form.

Today, my Special Topics class was cancelled, so I got to sleep in a bit. I went to Calc class. We prepared for Thursday's test. I shocked myself today. We went over a derivative of a hyperbolic function. I saw a pattern in this function, so I blurted out that if you replaced 3 with a 4 and 9 with a 16 in the original problem, you got the same answer, except the 4 took the place of the 3 in the answer. It's reasons like this one I'm in the Honors classes. When I made that remark, my professor was excited that I figured a pattern with the problem. He then asked me to asked me to explain what I saw in an X-A form. I now remember the derivative of certain hyperbolic function format.

Client/Server was okay. When I was socializing between classes, I was working on this assignment that's due next Tuesday. Now, if I can get my desktop computer totally working as I want, I'll be fine. I still have a lot of things to get off my laptop. The cord didn't come today. Maybe tomorrow.

My brother saw my new monitor today. He wants it, since it's bigger than his current monitor. He's not getting my monitor. $189.00 for this 17" flat screen was not a bad deal. He's got a job now; he can get one himself. He seems to forget I got this monitor from my dad's money as a way to help get me out of school. I saved money by rebuilding this computer, plus getting a new monitor and a wireless card. $253.00 for a rebuilt desktop or $1,000.00 for a new one? I'll go with the $253.00 computer. So will my dad.

Okay, off to do more work on this computer.
