Darryl’s Day

Friday, November 16th, 2007

Today I took my GED reading and social studies tests. Continued to score in the top 1% status rank. So that stayed on track. That enabled me to get the Scholarship I was going for. Just the writing test left now. After Thanksgiving I will schedule that one.

Project remained untouched in the queue of things to be done. Appears today was not the day. We wanted to work on it, but it was hard to follow through with initial motivation. If I were to make excuses for it, these would be it. It was raining, Aaron had his tests in the morning, so did I. The rain meant we would of had to change our method of construction and painting. So basically our tests burned us out and the rain required creativity to be utilized in finishing the frames. Creativity requires more motivation than we apparently had. So there it remained.

The projector got in today. We were worried about it. UPS kinda hosed the plan Aaron had for getting it. So we waited until I think around 4:30 pm or maybe 5:00 pm and then we were rewarded with it! So we had a pretty good night of setting it up, adjusting it, fine tuning it, and movies! It is pretty impressive. It is good to have movies again.

I cooked some thin steaks for dinner, and then we realized we didn’t have any sauce or steak fries to go with! So we made a quick run to the store and picked up some stuff.  After dinner and some more movies and house. This concludes my day.

Useless Day

Thursday, November 15th, 2007

As mentioned by Darryl, nothing really got done today. We got some more supplies for the display project but nothing was done. Tomorrow is the day!

Also tomorrow is the test in I/Os, which honestly shouldn’t be too bad at all. And Junior Project presentation day. Woohoo for playing dress-up :P

Darryl’s Day

Didnt get that much accomplished today. Worked on the site here a lot. Finally got the theme looking pretty decent. Still need to work on the pictures.

Nothing was really done on the Christmas light display project today. Aaron ,and I went to Home Depot and got some more 2×3′s for the final frame. They got wet while we were getting food and such so the final frame has to wait until tomorrow to be constructed and painted.

Big plans for tomorrow, testing early in the morning. Hopefully I will continue to do good. Means an early night turn in for me. Which is rare and should be carefully documented. May never again see it. Also looking forward to the new projector. Missing the movies at night, it is pretty much killing me.

New Site

We’ve setup a new site to document our projects and share our experience with the world. We hope you’ll enjoy watching us suffer so you don’t have to!
