As I start this entry, I am in the IT lounge waiting for Joey to get out of class. He has my car keys. So, I can't leave until he's out of class. So, I'm sitting next door.
My body hurts, and I have no clue as to why it hurts. It's really my right side. It feels like I strained it. My mother would tell me to eat a banana. Well, I don't eat bananas, so I'll have to find another way to get some potassium.
Today was the big day for Senior Project. I had my presentation. I was nervous. I tried not to be, but this was the be-all-end-all project presentation. I know why I was nervous. It dealt with my computer. I used my Linux box for the project. I had to present my project using it, so I can show the actual PHP-based database management system I created. Well, I had to fly blind. Either I could have something display on the laptop's screen or display on the project, but not both. I guess it bugged me more than I thought it should. A few times, I was interrupted by a few classmates straggling into class, so instead of letting the interruptions bug me, I made cracks and comments to lighten my mood. Joey told me after class when we were at the mall that he could tell I was nervous. Another thing was I was in uncomfortable shoes. I had hose and a skirt on. I was not myself. But sometimes, you have to do that to make a professional presentation. I may have felt better if I had the flat shoes on. That's another story.
I got a few complements from some of the first semester students after class. They liked what they saw and saw I did a lot of work on the project. Heck, I was nearly here on campus all summer long working on it. 
I had one group ask if they could see it more in depth later. Dr. Lau spoke up after my presentation to give a few points to the class about problems I encountered as I did the Thankful Missionary Baptist web site. One problem I totally forgot I had was finding out the name of the font used in the logo. Dr. Lau remembered and explained what problem I had with it.
I just know when class was over, I couldn't get to my car fast enough to get the pair of jeans I had in it. I feel much better with the jeans on.
Just prior to my presentation, I had Wesley Foundation. I left early because of my Senior Project. However, I did get a copy of The Old Turtle and a red cord for graduation. My copy of the book is gold. I finally got my copy! I can't believe I graduate in less than 2 weeks. I wish I could have stayed for the whole lunch, but my friends understood why I left. And had I delayed leaving anymore than I did, Joey would have come in and gotten me. He was waiting outside the door for me. He wanted to go home and shower. I told him he could take my car if he had to this afternoon at lunch time. Why he didn't, I don't know. 
Man, do I hurt!
And today's little picture is one you just have to see in big form. This is the small form. It's a motivational poster I made in Digital Photography class this evening. The kitty featured is Harri. I just thought the word and the phrase I developed was perfect. I uploaded a few more on my Flickr account.
Tomorrow, all I have to do is get through E-Commerce class. Once I finish that class tomorrow, I am home free for the rest of the semester. I just have a digital photography assignment and some Meteorology classes and assignments to do. I'm not sweating them. I'm going to have the big stuff done.
