Two Things That Are Pointless

1. Webinars
2. Powerpoint Presentations

So the webinar that includes a Powerpoint presentation is ten minutes I'll never get back.
I mean, maybe it's because they're free, but REALLY?! People thinking about graduate school or job interviews need to be told to brush their hair? to not act bored? to dress conservatively? darn, and here I was going to wear go-go boots and chomp on gum while yawning and texting during my next interview. Thanks, Princeton Review, for reminding me that I shouldn't do that.

Cool, cool, cool

I got a call for an interview next week. Might not work, but at least a possibility.
And I've made a decision to go practice free pool for a while later this afternoon.
Now if my brother would be available for lunch this week, all will be great.
I need to get to work on all the usual stuff too, but it's much easier when I'm feeling positive.

Lunch with bro: Friday. YAY!!!

music!

One good thing about having an electric piano instead of the real thing: volume control so that I can play at 1:30 in the morning. Now I am very carefully numbering pages of awesome new music that I am delighted to be borrowing.

Telling jokes works better in dreams

I had a dream about last night last night

When Did I Become Such a Huge Dork?

well, that happened a long, long time ago.
But it is pretty lame that it is a Friday night, and I am almost compulsively checking my school website to see what grade I got in my class. The instructor has until midnight to post grades, and he's really dragging this out to the last minute! Geez!

Anyway, I hope the extra credit that was promised on final exam has NOT yet been applied because I did the calculations for the individual grades that have been posted, and have an 87%. I want an A.

a stupid assignment was worth way more points than it should have been.

OKay, just checked again, and it says I got an A-. Yay

Maybe I should work on my vocabulary

I haven't done this for a long time: as I find words that I like or just think I should know, I will use them so that I don't forget what they mean. If I just read a definition, I forget and end up looking the word up every 3 months or something (e.g. "supercilious"). It makes no sense to me that that doesn't mean silly or superfluous.

I don't like that musician because she seems supercilious in that she acts arrogant and full of disdain when anyone asks her anything. However, she is better than that other musician who just will not yield to any opinion other than his own --- no matter how wrong he may be, or how persuasive others may be -- he is an obdurate person.
