It seems the dunking booth was a bit of a success, even though technical difficulties made the second day of dunking impossible. People had a good time.
Today, a few of us Sinfonian brothers got together to feed the marching band at the end of their band camp. It was nice to see everyone again, and to see the new faces that had appeared in the band this year.
Here at Delta State University, all students use Okra Kards to identify themselves and to pay for things from the student accounts. Personally, I have not had to use mine other than to check books out from the library or go to the fitness center. But this year, the school police department (or, the faux-po, as they are sometimes jokingly called) is requiring all of Delta State’s students, faculty, and staff to pay for parking decals through the Okra Kard.
Last Friday, I took the GRE (Graduate Record Examination), which is a standardized test for entering graduate schools. I made a 580 on the Quantitative section, and a 570 on the Verbal section. A perfect score would be 800/800. As right-brained as I am, I was surprised to see that the quantitative part was higher, but I believe 1150 is an acceptable score. Having to drive to Oxford, MS, and back to take the test was rather annoying, especially for having already spent 140 bucks just to take it.
