Most of my day at school was spent working on my Senior Project. Today, second semester students in Senior Project had to start signing up for presentations of their projects. Dr. Lau came to me first to get when I wanted to present. I went ahead and chose to be first. I figured no else would and someone had to go first. As I was told later by a friend, I probably did the best thing. I'll be finished while all the others are working to get their presentation ready. Most of my work on my project was spent cleaning up my PHP code and working on the last part of my coding. Once the coding is finished, I will be so happy. Before the next trough…

Lunch today was spent again with Lindsey and Joey at colloquium. Lunch was hummus and some cupcakes. I ate the cupcakes only. I may be trying to extend my pallet, but hummus is something I'm just not going to eat. I've had the chance and just not going to do it. Lindsey didn't know what is was, so she tried it. She didn't like it. Joey told her she was eating it wrong. He said it needs to be eaten with bean sprouts, and gave her a sprout to try. She still didn't like it. I know I would have acted just like her. The talk was all about Solid Freeform Fabrication (SFF) in the engineering classes. It was interesting and wasn't too full of math. After the talk, we got to see some of the prototypes made from this technology. Joey wished he could have stayed for the talk, but he left half way in the talk when he noticed he didn't have all the documents for a group assignment due today. He wasn't too happy when he left. I could understand his feeling.

Digital Photography class was short and quick. The professor wanted to get home to his baby's first Halloween. He showed us costumed cats and dogs, and then we went over our abstract assignments that were due today. I got a complement from a classmate over one of my photos during the presentations. She liked how the water beaded on a purple leaf. I explained during my presentation that on one of my shots, I not only used my camera's macro setting, but I also used a filter on the camera that's a 3x magnification lens. He asked me how I used it and told the class the such a filter is a cheap alternative to a big macro lens. I'm the only one in that class that uses a filter on her photos.

After the end of school, I spent some time at Joey's. He made me a pork chop dinner. He promised me one last week, but kept forgetting to defrost them! He finally remembered last night to take them out. I assisted him by washing the green beans and stirring in the cheese mix with the macaroni. I also had to run down to the creepy convenience store to pick up something for him. After we had finished eating, he popped in a DVD of The Master. I don't recall this show, but it's one he watched when he was 11 or 12. It was total 1980s cheese. I couldn't help but laugh at it. It was predictable and had plenty of holes in it. The specific episode we watched was "The Juggernaut," which featured Diana Muldaur. But, dinner and a crappy TV show was just what I needed tonight.

When I got home, I spent time with my father in my brother's room. Cozy came home this afternoon while I was at school. Matthew and my father got him. His care costed less than we expected. At the moment, Cozy has to stay in Matthew's room. He's back to his old self, sort of. He was quite happy to see me when I saw him. He knows I was there to care for him the other night when he was sick. He knows I was the one that got him from the emergency vet. His being with me was his way of saying thank you. However, when Matthew, who was asleep, mumbled in sleep, Cozy ran straight to Matthew. My father and I left Matthew's room and went outside to view what I think is Comet 17P/Holmes. I'm not too certain, but there was something bright out there we weren't used to seeing in the sky.
