Well. Well well.
That was a marathon of programming right there. Learning new stuff is sometimes as much fun as cramming a shoe into your ear. But sometimes it can be rewarding.

this one
I haven't been back to this particular blog in a little while. But it feels like, for the first time in, well, some time, things aren't in bad shape. Except for the myriad ways in which they're not great. But I've finally got some ideas and some tools to work with.
The essay didn't go so well, that one from last semester. I don't want to talk about it anymore, but it's behind me and I'm moving on. For all intents and purposes the coursework in the political science minor is done. I just wish I'd shone like I'd been hoping to.
Math, this semester, is challenging. I have started something of a regimen, one which I hope will actually see me not losing the "easy marks", and I've got a much better rapport with my professor than has ever been the case. This means I don't feel bad asking questions, for instance.
Web programming? That'd be the kicker. The assignment is big, I don't feel comfortable asking or answering questions to or from other students or the prof. And for a while I'd been pretty well stuck as far as tools went -- eyestrain, lack of motivation and time, and grindy, grindy performance from my Main Box.
Right now, I'm in possession of a couple of edges I previously lacked. I've got glasses. I've got a portable computer which works fairly well, far from distractogenic locales. And, if necessary, I can ask C for advice, though I know I'd receive a much longer answer than I was hoping for.
Those two are the biggies. Math and Web. The "smallies", namely music and work (which aren't small in terms of their impact on my life, just in terms of the sisyphean obstacles they seem to represent) are going reasonably well. I'm Treasurer (cf Neil Schweiber: "Tell me about it. I was elected treasurer of my middle school; I didn't even run!") and I am psyched about the new 'ductor. And I'm documentist at work, which I think I can do pretty well.
Web programming. Back to it.
