two posts in a single day. ohhh snap

Going to econ tonight was pretty pointless. Just got our assignments back. I got an 89, which is pretty cool. My confidence is still rocked from the 59% midterm though. For the assignment I had to look up 100% of the concepts in the textbooks and work my way through, using the sample questions and answers as guidelines. In a test I think I'm going to be screwed. It's going to suck. A lot.

I got a little unexpected something in the mail today-- My vacation pay from Best Buy. Good timing, as it ended up paying for the speaker system that I got today. It took longer that I would have liked to set up, and the wiring is messier than I'd like, but I'm working on it. A few zip ties and some elbow grease and it'll be fine. The speakers I got are primarily meant to be computer speakers, but they do Dolby Digital stuff too so I'll be a much better solution for the Blu-ray player than playing audio through the tv's little speakers. I tested out The Dark Knight. Sounds good. The sub really gives it a nice kick.

I'm a little worried about finals. Three days isn't a ton of time to read four books, and I still have to get my unit plan done (It's almost there!), and that'll only give me a couple of days to study for econ. It'll all be over soon!

Here's my plan for tomorrow. I figure I'll put it on here so that I can report back as to whether or not I accomplish it. Might give me a bit of motivation:

• Go for a run (haven't done this for a looong time)
• Finish my unit plan (have to have two lessons plans included, that's about it)
• Get at least fifty pages of one of my books read. I'm a slow reader but once I get going and find it interesting I might have enough momentum to finish it by Saturday.
• Figure out speaker wiring (final sub position, minimal wires visible)
• ...and eat healthy! Something I've neglected lately.
