And here you thought you might have to wait until tomorrow.

Sorry about [almost] forgetting to post today. For those of you wondering, I actually did gain +1 social life points last weekend. I shall now tell you of all the events that transpired last week.

Tuesday:
It was a day off, which was cool because I spent the day doing virtually nothing. Well that's not true. I did a lot of virtual stuff.

Wednesday:
Another uneventful day. I helped set up for the Jazz Band concert the next night and I got to go in the orchestra pit which was concealed under the stage. It was pretty fun. That night, we had a rehearsal.

Thursday:
We had a test in math that I finished in less than 20 minutes. When I turned it in, the teacher looked at me very confusedly. I guess I couldn't blame her since I had just done a 22 question test in less than 20 minutes. The questions weren't necessarily quick ones either. It was just the fact that I new the material. She insisted that I couldn't possibly be done and that I should make sure I check my work. I told her I did, which was mostly true. There were some problems I don't check because it was pretty straightforward I thought. She reluctantly accepted my test and said she would grade it in front of me. She searched and searched for a wrong answer and finally found one and marked it. She then kept looking for ones, but found no more and had to mark all those right answers in front of me. I think she would have preferred I had not finished so quickly, but I didn't want to linger around much longer. Today I got the test back and she had written "very good set of work here" on the paper. I had to lol at that, especially because all the other people seemed to be frowning at their own tests.

The Jazz Band concert went well. It was also a concert for several other groups, carefully placed all around the theatre to give a cool effect. There were bands behind, above, and in front of the audience. Actually on the stage was the Funkngroove and the Jazz Band. The Funkngroove took the forward part of the stage at stage level. We were behind them, at least 6 feet up on risers. The risers for the saxophones were 6 feet, the trombones were 8 feet, and the trumpets were 10 feet above the stage. While all the other instrument sections comfortably fit on their risers, we did not. The risers are made for about four people to comfortably play on. We have five people. It was dangerous, yet still very fun. I thought we did pretty well.

Friday:
I didn't have math as usual, but I also didn't have Jazz Band. It was nice to get out at 11:30 because Steven and I got to the UW that much earlier. Unfortunately, shortly after we got there, the gang all had classes, so Steven went with Ashley to her Psychology lecture and I went with Sai to his Computer Programming Lecture. I learned about binary tree searches of Heroes characters and then stopped caring what the teacher was saying because he was using an apple laptop. After that, some DS playing ensued until about 5:00 when Sai was leaving. I meant to leave with him, but I had not brought enough bus money for the slightly more expensive rush hour fare, so I third wheeled with Stashley for a while until it was time to head home. It was pretty cool to see a lot of people and I hope I get down to the UW again soon. I don't know if I'll make it down this weekend due to registration happening, but I might be able to on Friday. Next week, I doubt I'll make it in because it would have to be on Monday or Tuesday.

Saturday:
I WAS going to do some Guild Wars with Orion and Steven, but Steven mysteriously disappeared and Orion had to go to a party for a younger girl, so I was left alone and I honestly can't remember what I did, but it must not have been very productive.

Sunday:
I got to see the new James Bond with Steven and Sai. It was pretty good, much better than the last piece of crap in my valid opinion. I am confused as to why they now make Bond a ruthless killing machine that kills anything in his way. He used to be classy, only killing when he absolutely needed to (I have quotes ready to back that up). *SPOILER* Also, when they did that copy of the girl from Goldfinger, but with oil this time, I almost got up and walked out of the theater. For Christ's sake, have they really run so out of ideas that they have to copy from themselves now??? *END SPOILER* Also, please START with the classic down the barrel shot that always starts bond movies. Overall, I thought it was a step in the right direction and I hope that the last one can get back to what made older bond movies great.

Today:
Nothing matters because I GOT MY CHAOS GLOVES (pics to come). Other than that, I did nothing productive at all.

Well we'll see what happens with the UW this week. Until I see you next, peace out.
