Better Than Expected Day

Yesterday evening after getting home from school, I ate a snack and fell asleep on the couch until I was awakened for dinner. I ate dinner, checked a few blogs and went to bed for the night. I knew I had to study for my test, but I felt it was more important to be well rested. I've been feeling on the verge of sick for a few days now. I don't want to get sick.
This morning, I woke up a little extra early to fit a bit of studying in and make sure that I would get to class on time for the test. I get to class and a few other people are doing last minute studying. The instructor enters the room and starts putting new terms on the board, stuff that is clearly not going to be on the test. It turns out that I missed the memo that the test had been moved to next Monday. So much for a syllabus. I don't even think it was mentioned in group section yesterday. So, that helped me relax. Also, my Trans Log test has been moved from Monday to Wednesday so I will not have two tests in the same day :-) .
Psychology was interesting today. Really easy going day. No notes to take, just watch some recorded TV shows. Turns out that all the shows were featuring our instructor as an expert in the subject. He was on Oprah, 48 Hours, and either the Today show or Good Morning America (whichever one has Gumble). All the pieces were about eyewitness identification, which is relevant to the particular subject we are currently studying. I think it was interesting that we got a lecture from our instructor anyway, even though it was recorded from TV.
I finally got in contact with the person who was trying to contact me about doing a feature about MUG for the university new channel. We exchanged voice mails a few times, and she finally got a hold of me while I was in line at Subway. I set up a time for an interview during our officer's meeting tomorrow. Hopefully this will raise awareness about our club.
At work I mostly worked on organizing what needs to be done for film festival. We need to find $600 in our budget in order to cover the awards we want to give. I also did a few things with the scholarship system. Anytime there is a mySQL error, I will get an email telling me what the error is, what IP the user was, and the URL that created the error. Very useful information, especially when the system goes online on the 15th. This way, I can be immediately notified of any issues and can fix them quickly. I also ended up moving some furniture for the dean for some reason. I didn't realize it was my job to move furniture, but if the dean says something, do it.
I got an e-mail today from Mr. Troeger. Those of you who are AHS alums my age or older may remember him from Earth Sciences. He e-mailed me for recommendations for used Mac systems that can run OS X. I thought it was kind of odd that he would e-mail me, especially since he has been retired before I even started working for the district and I never had him as a teacher. Turns out he just e-mailed the president account for MUG, which gets forward to me. Small world.
Church was fun. A lot of people showed up and were very energetic. Fritz got everyone to sing Happy Birthday to Colin before service started. For some strange reason I have the Sunday song "Now the Feast and Celebration" stuck in the my head. Why?! I haven't been to Sunday service for 3 or 4 weeks, why get it stuck in my head now?
Anyway, it has been a good day.
