New class and eye twitch

I started a new class this week (Web Database Applications) with the same instructor as I had for my last one that ended Sunday night at 11:59 PM (EST). I did turn in my last assignment on Sunday evening, but here it is Tuesday and I *still* don't know what grade I got on it. As of Sunday I was getting an "A" for the class, although I *know* I didn't do that last assignment perfectly, the eventual grade shouldn't affect my overall grade very much.

Had to call the school this morning because as far as I could tell the online textbook was unavailable. However, while waiting on hold for the person helping me to ask his supervisor why I wasn't seeing my textbook, I clicked some buttons because I was bored, and found the book after choosing another selection in a drop-down menu. That was something I had never had to do, and also something the student-assistant had never heard of being necessary. I have read the 2 required chapters assigned to be read this week now though.

Because had I tried unsuccessfully to call the school's helpline using Gmail & Google-voice and couldn't get my microphone to work, I ended-up moving my CPU and all those damn wires to the top of my desk so that if I need to check the connections again, the wires will be much more accessible. Then I ran a troubleshooting program to find out why my microphone wasn't working, and got it working. But of course I spent a couple of hours trying to fix the problem on my own before running the troubleshoot. *sigh*

My daughter and I went and played 5 games of free pool last night and had a great time. I won 3 out of the 5 (she won the last 2).

Lastly, I don't know if I'm stressing subconsciously or if I'm having a small MS exacerbation, but for the last 3 days my right eye has been either twitching a lot or feeling like it's twitching but isn't.

That's all I've got. Now I need to go separate that 10 pound hamburger chub into quarter ounce pound patties. I'm thinking that I could just separate it into 3rd of a ounce pound patties since the primary use of the separated beef is used for 3 burgers at a time each morning/early afternoon for breakfast. It's a conundrum.

A third ounce burger is barely any burger at all, let alone a quarter ounce--I think you meant pound.
What is a chub?

You know, the instructor has more assignments to grade than just the one you turned in.It takes time to grade too.

A chub is one of those long tubes of hamburger wrapped in plastic.

I was the ONLY student in his class.

He's got 72 hours though, according to the school rules.

Todd said...

Yes, I meant a third of a pound.

That is what a chub is, huh? interesting.
Well, you might have been the only one in the class but he apparently has more than one class he instructs.

I got my grade today. Usually there's some comment like, "Good job" or something similar; but this time there was absolutely nothing. I know it's not a big deal, really, just very out of character. Thinking back; for the last 13 months there has ALWAYS been a comment from every teacher on every assignment, but not this time. Hmm... Just weird :)

Maybe he was having a bad week. Who knows?
Oh, and I forgot to mention earlier... That eye twitch is probably not MS. It happens to me all the time and is usually caused by tiredness, whether I *feel* tired or not, once I get a good sleep it goes away. I have had it once for a month and a half; usually it only lasts a couple days though.

I'm pretty sure the eye twitch is from tiredness. I've slept pretty well the last couple of nights, so hopefully my eye will feel better soon.
