How the Semester Flies by

I’ve been swamped with projects and exams lately so you’ll have to forgive me for my lack of posting. I didn’t think it had been that long since my last post, but then I realized that it was April already… oh my.

Anyway, I’ve got a geology exam tomorrow. I’ve made up a bunch of flashcards with material that is likely to be on the exam so I’m hoping for a good, solid A. (Did I mention that I got an 96% on my last psychology exam? Hooray!)

On a side note, I’d like to mention that I have several brush sets that are almost ready to be put up. I just have to make the image packs for those without Photoshop, and they shall be ready for the taking. I know, I know, I also need to convert them over for PhotoFiltre but those take a bit longer to make, not to mention the fact that I don’t even have PhotoFilter any more so I just have to make them from memory. What fun… argh.

I think that I’m sort-of, maybe, possibly starting to get object-oriented programming more. My last exam results wouldn’t reflect that but I felt much more comfortable with the last programming project we did (we had to make a program that generated Magic square solutions). I’m not quite as frightened by having to write my code in different files and classes now which is fantastic. I was vehemently against it at first but I sort of see the good side of it now, although I still strongly prefer coding like I would write a paper - from beginning to end, top to bottom, each part in sequence of it’s use. I realize though that for some problems it is indeed easier to code with classes and such now, but don’t tell my boyfriend that. I lost count of the number of times I would argue and whine about object-oriented programming to him…

I still would really like to have a photo-blog day but I haven’t figured out a good day to do it. I’d like to do it on a sunny, warm day but the weather here has decided that it’s simply not ready for spring yet and we actually had a possibility of snow today. Talk about a load of utter crap - I hate winter.

I’ve been screwing with a possible new layout for this blog. I know that I’ve really not had this one up long, but it’s a bit too bland for my taste. Not to mention that I don’t think I’ll ever get around to fixing the navigation issues in IE6 (which I wish to stab and throw down a flight of stairs) so it’s almost better for me to just make a new layout that just works and fixes both issues at once. It’s grungy but I like that type of design. We’ll see how it plays out.

As an attempt to help me blog more often, I’ve got a short list of blog ideas that I hope to write about very soon. So hopefully I’ll be writing again in less than a month… har har.

By the way, thanks for all the comments on my last post - it was very nice of you all
