Tough day

Today it was not easy. I got to school around 8:00am and began the department meeting at 8:30, then from 10:00 the university faculty meeting started and we had luncheon together. Then I was waiting for the computer specialist to help me hook my laptop in the master room but he never showed up. Finally after 4:30pm, a graduate CS student helped me and I was really thankful. We kept asking for the username and password in the classroom in Mass Communication building and no one could help and I had to physically go there again to check the computer and projector to make sure they are ready for my class next Monday. When I came out of the building I almost cried and I was praying that God leads my way and prepare for me. I was typing my teaching notes for the whole afternoon until after 6:00pm, I had to go back and forth from my laptop to my office desktop 'cause there is no Maple on it yet! It took me a long time just to save the figure files from Maple, something was wrong, I always got blank for the EPS files. I also needed to run Matlab to produce the graphs for my slides. I was disappointed that the new PhD program with life science concentration was declined and the other two concentrations haven't been submitted to the board of regions yet. I need to take part in regular seminars in order to keep up my research and I am crossing my figures on that. Finally at 9:00pm I arrived at Belmont United Methodist Church and found the Chinese Bible study 5 minutes before then finished and drove back in the heavy rain. I arrived home after 10:00pm. What a long day! It is raining and we need it. Tomorrow is another day.
