framlingemEr... There was a quiz in astronomy class tonight, which it would have been nice to know about in advance, but no... when I went to ask the professor what material I should read about to make up for the class I missed when I was sick, he'd forgotten to mention it.
It was written in the syllabus, but I'd written it down for next week on my calendar.
On the other hand, I think I did pretty well. Thank you, Dad, for getting me into astronomy as a hobby from the time I was seven so that I already knew most of the material we've covered so far. (All one really needs to remember is 'Oh be a fine girl, kiss me'... cookies to whoever knows what that mnemonic device is for!). I also had not spent any time stressing over the test, which probably helped as well. I do better on things I don't study for.
Afterwards I took 'Sharpe's Rifles' down to the Mac Lab and watched it on an Emac. I now have a sound driver installed, and it's even the right one - however, during startup the words 'cannot find something something' flash over my screen, and it's in C:/Windows and has the word 'audio' in it. Therefore I'm still missing something or other - I'm going to try rebooting a few times and watching it, and maybe I'll figure out what it says. It's only up for a moment.
*sigh* I had forgotten just how sexy Sean Bean is in a Rifleman's uniform. I mustn't watch any of these in the company of other people, I don't think.
