Yes that is correct. I made a purchase from the Home Shopping Network. Don't worry, it wasn't for a piece of crappy electronics or jewelry. It was a DVD. It was like pulling teeth ordering from them though. I found a coupon online that was $25 off a single item. I found a DVD that I had been wanting for awhile (Lock Stock and 2 Smoking Barrels). The online store would not take the coupon so I ended up having to call the customer service so I could place my order with the coupon. I read on DVDTalk that you had to call to get the coupon to work. I told the nice customer service lady what item number, the coupon code and my billing stuff. She told me that she didn't think it would work because the DVD was only $19.99. I read online that if the item was under $25, the item would be free, but you would forfeit the rest of the $25. I explained that to her, so she put me on hold to check on that. After about 10 minutes on hold, she comes back and says ok. Your order is placed and there is not charge. Hot Damn!! I was expecting to pay $4.95 shipping, but I'm not gonna complain about a completely free DVD. So that was my Home Shopping Network experience. Now I just have to wiat 10 days to get the DVD.
I took my last midterm last night. I'm not sure how it went. The multiple choice problems were fairly easy and straight forward, but the written short answer was any but that. The short answer were calculations, but instead of asking us easy questions, he lumped together a bunch of things. I remember doing similar things on the homework assignments, but in the homeworks never did they ask anything as complicated. Yes, I'm making up excuses for not knowing the material. I'll be interested to see how the test comes out and what the TA says about the written part of the exam. There weren't any problems on the homeworks similar to the question, so I was doing what made sense to me to do. I was a little worried when I was taking the test, but I figured that there was nothing I could do about it now. I know that I can miss up to 50 points on the tests and homeworks before I drop down to an AB, and I've only missed around 23. I do have a cushion, but I'd really like to get an A in the class.
I had my plans for last evening all set in my head yesterday morning. I was going to finish my test and then go home and watch Terminator 2: Judgement Day. As usual this didn't work out completely due to inability to stick to a plan. I finished my exam and was starving so michelle and I went and got pizza from Rocco's which was around 8:30. We got home around 9:15 but didn't put in the movie because we were sucked in to watching Dateline or some news show about Spring Break. Michelle left at 10:30 or so, and I decided that I would watch a bit of T2 before I went to bed. That bit, ended up being half of the movie. I was watching the extended special edition of the movie which runs for 2 and a half hours. So I'm gonna end up watching the rest of it today after class.
