I am here now to write about my day yesterday. Afterwards I will continue to how my day was today. This will either be a short post or a very long post. It depends because my fingers are a bit stiff.

The night before yesterday was great. I went to the Deaf Social at the mall and signed most of the night. I learned to be just a bit more fluent in sign. Not as much as some would be, but enough to where I am understanding more. At least, when I sign I understand. I still have trouble understanding when I am on the other end trying to figure out what the signs mean quickly!

Yesterday was an amazing day. I enjoyed every single moment of it. Well, maybe not EVERY SINGLE moment, but most of it. The day started off like any other Wednesday, getting up at 6:30 AM to get ready to go to class. Only this time, I wasn't exactly headed for class, but on assignment! I went and covered with some classmates and the teacher, the bike race going through Downtown Modesto. It was a thrilling experience to be part of the process. Granted none of our photos will be used for anything besides our assignment, but it doesn't really matter.

Here is a photograph that I really liked.


All in all, it was a short race through, but exciting the moments before they passed through. I just had to get a perfect shot and I think I did. I shot a monument that is historical to Modesto, which is the McHenry mansion. Which makes something within Modesto recognizable. It would be nice if someone besides myself would use the photo. Perhaps publish it in the newspaper! I doubt that, but a man can dream

Afterwards I headed over to talk to my teacher and show him my notes so that he may give me a grade for them. I got a B, which was very satisfactory considering I thought he would be more critical. He wants to see me again before the semester ends because then I will have more notes within the book. He is very easy to talk to and seems a bit different than he does in class. Perhaps he is more calm in his office than in the classroom. Regardless, I wanted to jump his fucking bones.

Once I finished that, I left with a smile and went over and talked to a friend of mine. This is where I found out that she was taking a sign class too! We signed a little, which added on to practice time! I saw Brie, Amanda, Batman, Christine and Bryce I believe. It was all fucking wonderful. David was there too, but he came during and afterwards. I'm forgetful. Nice though! To have some time to talk to a bunch of friends and actually see them for longer than a few seconds!

During Piano, Jessica and I played our duet for the teacher and we did it all right, EXCEPT for one note. We mistakenly went one note too high. We were at a 3rd note I believe instead of a 2nd. I don't know if I'm interpreting it correctly, but I understand!

Human Sexualities was fun, a discussion on LOVE!

Afterwards I waited around for the lunar eclipse. I was disappointed. Only because I couldn't see it because of the clouds. Turns out I was looking the wrong way! I got a photo of it, and this is the only good one I got.


After I got it, I went over to meet Sarah and Jesse at Forum 101 to watch SICKO by Michael Moore.
I have to say, I was very angry and saddened at the end of the documentary. The American Health care system fucking blows. I learned quite a bit about what really goes on within the system and how other countries who are far poorer than we are, receive almost free health care! Crazy stuff!

Sarah, Jesse, and I went over to Dennys afterwards to study for our Philosophy midterm which was today. Really fun! I felt very college when we were studying.

Today was mid term day. I studied with Jesse before hand, we also discussed how unhealthy America is and how things need to change. Christine, I believe, sparked the discussion. I don't remember who, but it was great though!

The mid term was a bit confusing. I studied everything that he wanted in the study guide and found that somethings within the study guide weren't included into the test. I understand that I should have studied everything up until then, which I did, but still. I understood most of it though. Most of us felt that we should have had some more time since we didn't have the entire class to take the test. Almost half of the time was used to prep for the test and then we took it. A lot of people finished quickly which leads me to believe that they either:
A)Didn't understand much, so just answered quick.
B) Managed to put EVERYTHING down into a 4 x 6 card.
C) Had some kind of secret telekinetic power which they used to get answers from all of us.
D) Just suck at life and didn't care at all.
E) None of the above.

Either way, it was nice. Afterwards I came home. I made rice, ate it and started messing with photos for class. I finished them and now I am finishing up everything. I did everything I wanted to do today, well, almost. Once I finish this post and upload to deviantart, I will have accomplished everything set in stone for today and then relax for the first time this week!

Hope everyone had a wonderful week, thanks for reading and yeah...
XOXOXOX


PS: Socrates and Descartes, I really do enjoy them. Socrates is a bit of a power whore and Descartes questioned everything he believed in late in life. I enjoy reading what they thought about. Really cool stuff. I recommend you all read them!
