Does it seem unreasonable that I asked for the first week's assignments because my class's online learning environment has not recognized me as registered yet? I welcome comments on this question/post.

Careful versus Skilled
I just took a test where how careful you are is nearly as important as how much you know or how skilled you are. I guess it's the best evaluation tool they have. I have taken these tests before, but I really haven't learned to "do it their way". I know my way is right and I could conclude at the same result, but I have to perform the steps exactly as their parameters dictate. I passed anyway, and it was a pretest, so I know I can do it on my own.
2012 Pi(e) Run
I had a nice post typed up for this but my AT&T Internet disconnected and Blogger nor I saved before Firefox crashed, so I'll just say I ran this race, here: http://www.facebook.com/pages/Pie-Run-Bloomington/354270384606274, and there is a picture of my finish on this SmugMug on page 19: http://trevorhpittman.smugmug.com/Sports/Pi-Run-2012 thanks to Trevor Pittman. Maybe I'll type it up again later, and hopefully my "finish" will be closer to the beginning next year. ;D The pie was very good, and my lemonade was quite refreshing with the pie pops and chocolate silk.
Cannot Register Online
The links for Campus Connect are still broken, though they said they'd be back after the 12th, so it's off to campus I go. There are some reasons outside the student that Distance Education is more difficult than it should be.
And, There Again...
If you get that far behind, might as well just go on.
Yesterday, Jonah said I could have the car and he'd take me to South Pacific. It's about time to move on. Good thing I have something to do it in.
I started on classes last night, too. The curriculum has us studying an early version of Office 2010, so I'm going to have to get the book today and pay the extra amount.
Day before, Sunday, watched Eustis Family Bible series. It seems like everything is ending, but some things have to begin and go on in their place. I can only trust God and ask Him to take me where He wants me. I had a nice time with Brian, watching The Artist, which was great, and eating at Golden Corral.
Saturday, I continued organizing, which seems to be the bulk of what I do these days. In light of yesterday's conversation, that's probably a good thing. At least I'll get a more subdued, adult lifestyle out of my old relationship. I guess I'll be able to find everything I need in hiding my heart, functionality the trade.

And Sometimes, You Just Have to Let It Go
Thursday, drove up to Indy with Brian to pick up his taxes. Friday, had a really good voice lesson with K and Andy. Checked into my classes. Today, had a good yoga class and getting ready to go to photography ACR class.

Yesterday
Of course, got to get to one of these posts because of a busy day or you just forgot, etc.
I tried to meet with Christian Challenge, but I was a little late, and there was no one there. I instead stopped by the transfer fair, and by stopped by, meaning I talked to lots of schools and got lots of details about how to proceed. IU for voice and IUPUI for pre-med look like the most promising. I also talked with a guy outside Christian Challenge who was running another booth inside-he invited me in.
After the fair, I got gas at Speedway and a $2 KFC snack pack with a thigh and headed out to McCormick's Creek. I snapped a few photos, and while doing so, I noticed that I'm still nervous about taking pictures of people or going where it looks like I might not be welcome. I also want to learn much, much more about what I'm doing when I have the time and money. Not much wildlife, but I did get some shots for my personal collection. I do also realize that I need to learn what a good photograph involves so I can choose the best of mine for a portfolio. Jamie helped me once, and it was interesting.
I came back for choir about 5 minutes early and Tim was sitting in. I said konnichi ha and left to do something on the computer and get water. It's not a good time to get a soda, I learned later, both vocally and timewise for that occasion, but I got a Cherry Coke as well. Choir was decent, and I was hitting some high notes after practice on ode to joy that finally turned Tim's head again. I really want this consistency thing to happen, so I'll keep working.
The exam went well. I didn't want to sit for ten minutes before it thinking about it, so I walked outside to play with my camera, but I don't think I'll keep anything from that. I also started experimenting with RAW yesterday, partly for the focus group/class on Saturday. I kept making faces and sighing about the bass cleff yesterday. I wonder if I just need the attention. I hope I don't interrupt the other students, or give them an excuse for their own lack of effort. I think I kept up my "A", though. I realized how paying attention to what you're doing and making the effort to ensure the "A" because you can do it and that's what you should earn pays off and caught two mistakes before I handed in my paper. That diligence might have saved me my 100% on the first quiz. No big.
I stopped by Brian's for a walk after class and then headed to the Y. I lifted weights and got in the hot tub after talking to Laura. It was nice to see her again.
The rest of the night I worked on the house and sang and watched "House, M.D." Disturbingly, I found Harry stuck on a cord where I hadn't noticed him before, but he seemed okay for it. No more frenetic than he usually is.

What I Did for...
Stayed in the house most of the day but got a lot of stuff done for myself. Did my freewriting and organized bags and boxes. Went to the BPC meeting, and it was good. Got my five minutes in the hot tub after trying the elliptical and found out that I like reading Opera News. A lot. Asked Brian if he had some, but he thinks only one, for which he may have time in the next year to look.
The refrigerator wasn't running or cool but the light was turning on. I Google-d it and shuffled some things around as well as called Brian to see what he thought and the fan started. I hope the food is okay overnight, and I'll try to clean it out tomorrow, but I have a busy day planned. I also looked up the election. Santorum, huh? Time for the online candidate chooser. "Who will buy my sweet [Ohio]? Two blooms for a penny."

Morning, World!
I thought this (http://nk-ds.org/wp-content/uploads/2011/08/preview0776b785cf72d1f8416607c77e6af6b7.jpg) was an animation holding a real stuffed bear as viewed through Google Images thumbnail. Thought it would be interesting. Maybe work on that myself.
Time to start programming again, too.
