In the morning I worked a little on a Flash presentation for the web system for students to check their grades online, and before 11:00 AM I was at UNICAES university presenting a draft of the system at the department of the university where the system is supposed to be implemented in the near future. So far so good, but the challenging part is coming (the system with users, connections and queries using the database, etc.)

In the afternoon I asked this question on Yahoo! Answers:

When should I use the adjectives plump or chubby instead of fat?

I read that fat has a negative connotetion while plump (which means chubby) has a neutral connotation. So if I see a fat person and I do not want to offend him/her, should I call him/her a PLUM PERSON or a CHUBBY PERSON, when he/she could also be described as a FAT PERSON? But in general, the difference would be how I want the other person to feel, like if I want to be polite for example, right? Is there any difference in usage? Another question, what is the difference between saying A PLUMP PERSON and a PLUMPY PERSON? Plump and plumpy are both adjectives. Thanks.

I spent the afternoon and night working on the web system for students to check their grades online, and professors to introduce/modify the grades... I worked on the design and Flash banner part today. Things are working out alright but the most challenging part is coming, which is the programming of users, queries to the data base, etc.

I exercised at home at about 5:00 PM.
