Change of Plans

So on Friday I was preparing to head to the campus store on my lunch break to go purchase the materials I will need for my two online courses this summer. I looked at the email confirming my registration to make sure I had the right course numbers and books I would need. And then I realized that it wasn't June and July that they started, but May and June. My music course apparently started last Tuesday, and my ethics course starts today. Fortunately none of the music stuff is due immediately so I haven't actually missed out on anything. What this does mean on the other hand is that instead of doing some coding, then breaking for school for a month or so, then coding again in August I will be more immediately getting into the school stuff now, and start work on Dynamic a little later in the summer. This shouldn't actually be a problem and might work out better then the situation I had thought I would be in. Possibly in a week or two during the weekend I will start easing myself into some of the simpler Dynamic tasks so that when these courses end I will be ready for the larger tasks.

Long Overdue Update

A lot has happened since my last post. I moved in Monday, it took a grueling 6 hours to move both myself and my girlfriend into our apartments for the summer. The living situation is nice but of course roommates are a drag. So far time has been hard to find. Two days of work so far has shown me that at best I have two hours on Monday, the same for Wednesday, and then the weekend should be fine... when I don't go home. This might improve once I get used to going to work and all that stuff again.

Work so far has been pretty slow, it definitely looks like it will take a while to truly get into the groove and have a real project to do. I can't wait for real work, the cubical fabric pattern is pretty uninteresting to stare at after the first few hours.

I am currently aiming to get myself back into coding dynamic next week sometime, I want to slowly ease my way back in. I definitely don't think I will have too much time to spend on coding during the week, and during my summer courses I can pretty much count on having no time during the week.

Finally, I wouldn't expect more then one or two posts a week. Time is too valuable and short in supply to spend too great a portion of it writing about what I am doing in the rest of it. Hopefully I will have a Dynamic update soon.

Later,

Three Finals Down Two to Go

I'm past the halfway point of finals. I feel like I can breath again, and of course thoughts of coding are again entering my head. I'm starting to think about coding again and I am formulating my plan of attach to get stuff completed. I will probably start posting a bit more too, though I doubt it will be more then a few times a week. Wednesday night I am free!
