i really don't understand how my mp3 player's voice recorder option can go dead silent for 30 full minutes... the battery didn't die, the mic worked when i tried a test record later, but for 30 full minutes, basically the entire lecture, all i got is dead silence. I DON'T GET IT! it's like God's juking me and making it harder to keep up and stuff. so now i can't understand what i wrote down, since the professor talks way too much without writing anything on the blackboard for me to get anything down.

well, at least it's only 30 minutes, and not a full lecture, and i haven't been going at all to office hours. maybe this'll give me an excuse to walk in on tuesday. so i'm just gonna take today off.

tonight's nba games look really good.
