Some Days Just Are

So, not too much has happened since my last post. I'm just trying to live life, and figure things out, and have as much fun as I can while I'm living. Well, sometimes it's just hard to have fun, but right now that doesn't seem to be the case. As I've said before, I love Cedar City, and College life. I love everything (well, almost) about my life right now.

In CSIS 1000 (Intro to computer science--the worst class in the world) today we began the section on Microsoft's Excel program. Don't get me wrong, I'm not an expert at it, but I am familiar enough with it to know what most of the basics are. And the things that I can't figure out are in the "text book" we have for the class (Note: I use the phrase "text book" here loosely). Well, our professor had some things to take care of, so she left early, and told us to work on assignment 9I. So I'm working on this assignment, and I'm doing rather well (all things considered), and there's part of the book that doesn't really make sense, since we haven't covered it. Turns out, the TA didn't know the answer (she probably took this class a few years ago, possibly even before the newer version of Microsoft office), so I found out how to do it (in the book), and was able to help the TA. I'm blogging that because how often does anyone get to say that? Yeah, today in class I helped the TA.

I was able to write a sonnet (finally), it only took me about two and a half hours. Not too much fun, but it worked out all right, which is good since I have to turn that in today. I'm not exactly sure what else we will be doing in that class, but I'm sure I'll be able to figure it out. Right now I'm just trying to stop the inevitable, or in other words, I'm putting off my homework. I have to pick an essay out of one of my text-books, and write a reader's response to it. I have to interview 3 people, and write some things with that. I have to do about four math assignments. But I don't really have the motivation to get all those things started yet, so I'm not going to do it yet.

I am excited about tonight, however. Tonight is the second practice for the Intermediate Ballroom Dance Team, and I'm loving it so far. Things are going rather well, and I'm excited to get our routine down, though I suppose I should have practiced a bit more than I did for it... well, there's plenty of time for that. And this weekend is the retreat, which is going to be so much fun, I can hardly begin to hide my excitement.

All in all, life has just been really good today.
