Too Much Work and Not Enough Done

I feel like I'm running in place with my programming homework since I have the basic part of it set up and it seems to work, but then I try to do other things and it doesn't work. Also I tried to go and put it up on a personal webpage which we're meant to use so the professor can see it. That wasn't helpful. Also the book and all the things I'm looking at to try and make sense of what I need to do don't help. Its like the perfect example of what we're talking about in my other class, not taking into account prior knowledge or lack of prior knowledge since staring at the code doesn't tell me how to do it.

At least one assignment finished easily and I'm pretty proud of it, I made a screencast about the styem we're using at America Reads. That assignment went so much faster than I expected, which is nice. If you're interested in terms of what it looks like, you can watch it here and it was made using a program called Jing. Now I'm going to read my seminar stuff and keep poking at the PHP. Worst case scenario, I turn in my code and explain, this is what I tried to do but none of it seemed to work. Oh and my Comcast cable bill went up and I didn't have a chance to go grocery shopping.

In terms of the poll, it looks like the preference is for me to post Art shots first with landscape, cute animals next. Now for social science reading and trying to not let the code make me too annoyed. I hate feeling like I somehow don't know how to read a book or site to figure out what I need.

Distraction Time

Things are as done as they're going to be and I've decided to stop twisting myself in knots over this work. I did everything I could think of for the programming homework and then sent an apologetic email with my code. I feel like an idiot but its the first assignment and I'll do better on the next one and I just needed to stop.

In the end, I didn't quite finish all my reading and trying to print all of it out for my seminar made me yell at my printer which wasn't healthy. So I'll set up my big computer in class to reference the reading even though I don't like doing that.

Thus this entry is going to be full of pictures, my art shots as requested by the poll. Thank you all for putting up with me trying to get through this busy weekend here and on Twitter, I just hate feeling like I'm missing something.



This was taken through a window at my parents place, it was cold and snowy outside but the sky amazed me.

( I find solace in beauty. )

Now I'm going to make some tea and toast, maybe add some bourbon to the tea and try and not feel too stressed.
