Winter Break Recap

I managed to finish out last semester with all A's, despite my worries about Software Engineering. When we got our grade reports in the middle of the semester, I wasn't doing so well - that class was nothing like I expected it to be, and I was expecting it to be much more interesting. Turned out there was no programming at all, just charts and graphs and enough theory to gag on.

Christmas was pretty quiet - on Christmas day, Craig and I went to his parents' house, and then to a movie with a couple of friends. The day after, we went up to mom's house and celebrated with her, and then to Marie and Dan's. For New Years', we went to the Monkey Bar in Amherst. We had a few drinks, hung out with the bartender when he got off shift, stayed until close, then went home and went to bed.

The rest of winter break has been split between drawing and doing web design. I'm in the messy middle of reconstructing Northeast2WayComm - every time I think I've got it figured out, Drupal throws me another curve ball. I will get it done, it's just a lot more frustrating than I expected.

School starts up again next week, on Tuesday, since Monday is MLK day. I'm signed up for Computer Math Foundations (I've got more than enough extra math classes that I should have been able to sub out of that one, but no such luck), UNIX, Database Project, American Revolution, and E-commerce. I've already started reading one of the books for the Revolution class, which is about Thomas Paine. I'm over halfway through it and am looking forward to finishing it before the class starts. The less I have to read during the semester, the better!
