Interesting Day

Today was one of those days that you wake up to and wonder if it really is a joy to be alive. You see I woke up in a sour mood because I had unwarily set my alarm clock for 7 PM instead of 7 AM. So my plans of going to the library were ruined when I realized that it was 8:30 AM! However, I quickly changed my sour mood when I saw the bright sunshine and felt the cool morning air of Richmond. Being that I am on the eleventh floor of the building the air felt really cool and smelt refreshing. For some reason, I began to realize that today would be really spectacular.

I went through my average morning ritual of getting ready for activities. Activities have seemed to become a major part of my college career as they will be vital for my attempt to become an Resident Assistant or get into the Honors Program in the very near future. So today I looked at my agenda and went to the first event at about 11:00. This event was the day that various political organizations on campus attempted to get us all to become registered voters. I went ahead to the one that I was to help out (the Americans for an Informed Democracy). Before I was able to volunteer, I had to register to vote. I filled out a very simple form and another form for an absentee ballot (because Richmond is not my permanent residence). This was beneficial for me for now I can vote in November for the election. I proceeded with my volunteer job of attempting to get people to become registered to vote. Quite a few people were moved, a majority of the rest were already registered to vote or were not interested in trying to get the changes they wanted to see. Consequently, we can say that they are going to be the ones whom will complain about the government not making decisions in their interest. After an hour, I went back to the dorm and then to lunch at Shafer.

The next major event of the day was Biology class. It was fairly interesting today as we discussed further details about the process of photosynthesis. I, of course, continued the ritual of yelling answers out in class to answer the teachers questions and to stay focused. Sadly, apart from another guy and a girl, I was the one who yelled out the most (some were incorrect!).

For dinner, I went back to Shafer and met two friends (actually a third showed up later, and I saw a person from my math class there). We talked for a bit. It was kind of interesting because I had not seen them in about two weeks (actually a week but one of them loves to exaggerate). Immediately thereafter I ran to PreCalculus class.

PreCalculus was an interesting class today because I continued the tradition of yelling out answers. I was so excited because it was the first time in awhile that I had been able to do a bit of mental math on the spot. I was even able to answer a few more complex composite function questions [for those that do not know these are the f of g of x functions].
One issue arose today in class. I had to decide if I was going to attend class on Thursday or miss it (and the quiz) for Pirates of the Caribbean in the Commons on Thursday. I decided then and there that I would come to class for the quiz, because I had previously already seen the beginning of the movie two years ago. This would not only enable me to do the mere 15 point quiz but it would enable me to see the movie as well. I wouldn’t miss anything in class either because we review the information on Tuesday [I have over a 100 in class and I took the class last year].
