Week 11?!?!!!!??

I have very mixed feelings right now.! I'm very excited for this week to be over and all of my classes over and done with. At the same time i can't believe it went by so friggin fast. Did I really learn that much? I almost feel like the bulk of my learning came from working on the St. Stephens site. Well definitely the CSS Zen Garden exercise helped me quite a bit as well.

I wish this week wasn't here b/c I have so much work due it makes me hurt. I can't wait for the class to present their projects.

I still stand by remembering negotiating with Sharon about some of my blogs being long enough to count for 2! It happened, I promise!!!!!

I need to get back to ActionScript. The one thing that sucks about coding is that it's hard to be productive in short bursts, which is what happens when you try to work on something in class.

Not enough hours in the day. You can say you'll return to something later to make it better but the odds of that happening are so slim. Try to do the best you can the first time around!

Week 10????????

Oh holy friggin smokes!!!!! So the projects are due today! Both teams have worked really hard and have made great progress. Unfortunately team 2 is experiencing a horrible case of irony with their server 'Franking' them. Irony is a bitch, and I've got it in spades! Why does everything go wrong or pile up on you at once? What is a person supposed to do when it seems like everything is going to hell. Literally. Family, boys, school, work, all while trying to figure out what to do about the fact it's time to renew your apartment lease and they've decided to jack the rent up $600 a month b/c they're doing some renovations? All during finals, all with an ultimatum in which you were given a week to complete something that frankly you just don't have the time to deal with right now.

The IE6/CSS gods have it out for me. And when even your teachers are stumped...where might there be a good corner to go cry in?

I am extremely proud of both teams in this class though. It's tough to hand out last minute updates and get everything done. Hooray for my iPhone and it's ability to allow me to do work on the go!

Week 9????????

How in the hell is it already Week 9? I don't understand. I'm so tired. I've been so busy.

So what have I been up to? My mom came for a visit 2 weeks ago. We were in San Diego Thursday-Sunday over Labor Day Weekend for my cousin's wedding. Actually the technical title of the wedding as named by the evites was the Big Gay Vegan Wedding. It was pretty fun to see my family from Ohio. I see them maybe once every 2 years. My mom left last Thursday. I felt bad b/c every single day we weren't in San Diego I had school. Except for Labor Day weekend. We were going to go to Napa but decided it would be too hot and too far. We did go shopping, drink margaritas at Chevy's, and saw the movie Vicky Christina Barcelona. It was pretty good.

It just not hit me that I have 3 final projects due in 2 weeks. I worked this weekend for the first time in almost 3 weeks. It was the Mountain View Art and Wine festival so the restaurant was PACKED. I worked from 9am - 6pm yesterday without a break. I was in bed by 9pm. My body feels so broken. It was quite the task hobbling to the train station this morning.

I got an iPhone last Wednesday. I absolutely love it except I'm still struggling on figuring some stuff out. Like how to add an application. It keeps telling me to go to this one apple site to update some information. So I go to the site but I don't know what information to update so it'll let me load the application. Oye. Week 9.....REALLY??????????
