auntiemeeshThat was a midterm exam? I've had quizes harder than that. 40 questions - 30 multiple choice, 10 matching. She passed out the tests at 3:05, I was out of there at 3:22 and that was after going over each question very thoroughly, twice, to make sure I hadn't misinterpreted anything, etc. Not that I'm complaining, mind you. She told us if we read the chapters we'd be fine, but somehow I didn't believe her. As always, there were one or two I wasn't sure of, but for the most part, I feel pretty good about it. Going over all those on-line practice tests really helped.
A gorgeous storm blew through this afternoon. Black clouds scuttled across the sky at some pretty impressive speeds, leaves were flying (and smacking me in the face) and then the rain hit, hard. The street got pretty flooded at the corner where I was waiting for my bus, within about five minutes. I tried to stand in a doorway but I still managed to get pretty soaked. It was pretty cool to watch the storm blow in though - I love storms like that, especially because it was all wild wind and rain, with very little lightning to make being outside scary.
Of course, when I got home the internet was gone. I'm pretty sure now that the connection problems are directly related to the weather. And I had adventures with Linux. I have this Linux lab due tomorrow and I popped the CD in to run it and play with it so that even though I couldn't get online to get the assignment off Courseweb, I could at least familiarize myself with OpenOffice.
It took three tries to boot up the live run CD that we were all given, and once I finally managed to do that much, the blasted thing just sat there. My computer ran and ran and ran, till I was afraid the fan was going to overheat, and it took a good half hour or more to get all booted up, but then even after that, I couldn't get it to open any of the programs. I would click on the buttons and they would just sit there, staring at me, daring me to try that again. Finally, after about two hours, I gave up. I'll look at it at the school computer lab tomorrow - I'm far too brain tired to start it up now. It'll suck to have to spend Friday evening on campus, but it's got to get done.
I finally made it all the way through last season of Lost and I'm all up to date except for this week's episode, which I'm going to go get right now. I finally understand what's happening, and I must say, the end of season two did pick up a lot more than I had expected it to.
