Wow. Today I opened my site up and alas, the homepage was blank. It's been a while since I've wrote or put anything up here. I must admit, I've been really busy and I've had a lot going on.
For starters, at the beginning of last month I started taking my first computer course of my life. One of the benefits of working for the University of Vermont is the fact that I can take classes, up to 18 credits a year I believe, for absolutely free. I'm going on to my fourth year working here, and I've really never taken advantage of that benefit, so I decided what the hell.
So I signed up for Programming in Visual Basic .NET. I've programmed in many different languages throughout the years, starting with MSBASIC back in the day, through Pascal, C and C++ in my highschool years, onto Perl and one of my new favorites, PHP in this day and age. But I'd never programmed anything for a Windows environment. Everything up to this point has been text only.
The class was fun, for the most part. The programming came easy to me. It was just time consuming. Silly me for taking a summer course for the first course I've taken. I didn't realize how a whole semester's worth of work was crammed into five weeks of my precious summer. Oh well... I'm doing my final project now, and that will be turned in by the end of the week. I'll let you know how I do.
Other than my class, there's been one other thing pretty much that's been occupying my time, and I must say, she is wonderful. Her name is Sarah and I've been spending all the time I can with her. It's been a long time since I can remember being as happy as she makes me, and I just love being in her presence. I'll write more about her later, at this time I need to get back to work.
