Tonight's dinner was some Pasta e Fagioli soup made by me and my father. He took care of the meat. I chopped the carrots, celery, and onions. We then placed them all into a crockpot. I watched the soup and added the final touch: the pasta. I could have done better on the onion chopping, and the soup could have used more beef stock, because it's low on broth. Considering this was our first attempt at this dish, it wasn't that bad. 
As I went to the store to get some cooking ingredients and utensils, One of the private schools in town had a bunch of students in Wal-Mart. Why they were there, I don't know. One of the leaders of this school trip was an old high school classmate of mine. We exchanged waves as she was busy with her thing, and I was busy with mine.
I think I finally have all the software I need installed on this computer. My laptop's new cord come today, so I able to get the rest of the stuff I needed to transfer to this computer from it. My battery still's not charging, so I had to place my battery in my dad's computer to see if it would change. 
However, I'm glad to know this computer is now set up and everything. 
I also had to burn a disc of all my ACM photos for the upcoming ACM board being developed at school. I'm not developing it. 
Thank goodness! However, I'm the only one that can be contacted for photos.
I did go to school today to discuss Monday's movie. The more I think about it, the more depressing it is. It just brings back the depressing parts of my past. I didn't have the most depressing life, but it all wasn't a run in a prairie, full of daydreams, either. Some things I don't want to remember. I rather be happy. I like watching happy things and hearing happy songs.
And that's today's stuff in a nutshell.
