School, poly or umbre thane and reinstalled autogk

School week 4 of 10
English-We got our first papers back. The teacher said that I have the backbone there but my writing style needed to be flushed out. Thats always been my major problem so no surprise there. She gave lots of good suggestions and the revision goes on my list of things to do this week. I still have a hard time seperating between getting involved learning what the stories are about and writing about the story and what all the hidden meanings are...
Non-Western Soc- Again we wove our way around the main topic in a very conversational way and ended getting our first take home "assesment". it basiclsy was going to be 4 small essay questions. he wrote down 3 and then said we could do numbe 3 and one other one. He explained a essay style called 5x5, 5 paragraphs, 5 sentences each with the first stating the idea the next 3 are facts and the last is the conclusion. I'll give it a try.

Poly or umbre -urothane?
The sign painting was fifnished all we had to do was coat it with umbreurothane or something like that. I suggested to try it on the scrap paint tester. Whew...it came out with a honey color and effected some of the paint also. I knew this was probably the wring stuff. We took it back to home depot, asked the paint people and again they suggest the same stuff so we re bought it. After aksing the "dads" we decided wer would go back and get regular polyuerothane. That is what Sarah used on the Old World Cafe signs and it went on clear and did not seem to mess with the paint.

Re-installed AutoGK
I was cleaning up my folders on the pc and must have messed with something that was included with AutoGK. it would get to one step and then just freeze up and stay that way all night. It takes 5 or 6 hours to take a 4.5gb DVD down to a 650mg AVI. I finnally thought to reinstall it and now its fine.
