Busy Week Back
My first week back from break was a whole lot busier than I expected. I missed one of my midterms the week before break, and had to make that up on Tuesday. My professor was very helpful and cooperative. I think most are, if you give notice that you'll be out of class and act willing to make it up as soon as possible. I also had a paper due Tuesday, and an "executable release" due for my game programming class. I don't have a link to it yet, as we are having trouble getting it to launch successfully from the web.
Over break, I did some more work on the thesis. Mostly storyboarding; I want to get together with the other group members and get the entire project laid out in storyboard form so that we can begin work on modeling all the necessary objects. The plan is to do that next weekend.
Ballroom dancing classes resumed on Monday. We didn't meet over break. We are now learning the waltz, our third dance after the foxtrot and the cha-cha.
A friend from my semester at the Virginia Ball Center is in town this week, so Thursday night me, him, and several other VBCers went out to eat at a place in Muncie called Morton's Pub & Grub. It was really good, I ended up getting two hamburgers. We sat around playing a board game for a couple hours, then moved to the M T Cup in the village to continue playing.
Friday, I waited in line at Emens to buy Vince Gill tickets for my parents. I think the concert is in late September, but since he is pretty popular, I imagine tickets will sell out quickly. I ended up waiting about 40 minutes, but managed to get "pit" tickets. They are setting up 30 seats in the orchestra pit and allowing concert-goers to sit there, which will be very close to the musicians at the concert. Hopefully my parents will have a good time sitting so close. The price was pretty reasonable, too, at $50 per ticket.
