SLEEP KEEPS ON BEING OVERRATED

For some days now it's like I go to sleep at 5am and wake up around 10am... If it's not one thing it's the other... Monday baby had an appointment, Tue & Wed had class mean assignments, today baby had another appointment... Weekend and afternoons have been nurse-less, and Wed&Thu hubby sent day nurse home as she seemed sick... as in ill, people. So... The sleepless drama keeps on. Happy happy joy joy...

Class is ok... could be better if it actually felt there is further interest from the teacher to teach... (what a concept!) The comments made to my classmates and myself are very simple and do not add much to the learning process... Come on, there's only so much you can actually discuss in a forum! What happens when everyone is stuck? And... joys of joys... next course is about db... I need to find out with the counselor if I really have to keep this track courses, as there is another track focused on design and I dont know if in the end we have to take 2 tracks or a choice between them... I didn't get to choose, so... So far, yes, I'm pretty miserable. I hate programming. I'll whine about it through it, and after its over. I HATE PROGRAMMING. I'll get over it, but... I HATE PROGRAMMING. 'nuff said.

I hope this will be all over in August. I want the diploma to actually go in-depth into job search, working at home version... or a hybrid of 2 days in the workplace and the rest at home. I know the right job fit is for me out there. But I need a focus that with classes and baby I simply can't have.

Seacacus was a fiasco. they have same issues as here: Housing list is closed and overcrowded, so we can't get in the waiting list, so our contact can't help us getting priority, so it's all stuck.

The wheelchair and medical bed drama continues... I hope it all can get a happy resolution tomorrow... erm... today?

I FINALLY filed up my Income Tax 2008. Yes, I'm VERY late, especially for someone who doesn't have to pay... I completely forgot about it, the pressure to fill it up in here is not a constant bombardment as in Puerto Rico. But, finally filled it up and will send Saturday. Cannot say Friday as I have a nasty class assignment for Friday...

So this is it for now.

What's going on so far

It's Star Wars weekend, and so we are chained to re-runs of the first 3 movies and then the three real movies of the 6-part saga. It's both good and bad. Hate the newest version... What were they thinking? Such a character like Darth Vader with such a lame background... ugh!

Well, back to me.

Home: For now things are on track. Some expenses will still be covered by gov aids (amen) and so we can keep focus on caring for baby. Besides that, looking for housing options to see if we can actually qualify somewhere else for Section 8.

Class: Second week of sucky PHP course, almost over! I don't see any learning experience here... all I see is loud mouth people and no comments from the teacher... Don't know what else to expect. Will try to keep on reading and keep on trying to learn by myself. Did I mention I hate programming? Just checking.

Well... building up a class site for my dream of doing a SMA chapter in Puerto Rico. You may go there and browse and critique if you feel like it (it is a work in progress, made the basics in CSS and must apply some php to the forms... This is the 2nd week, so don't expect fireworks... It was a "design a site"week... Next week real programming begins. Wish me good luck).Anyway, hope that this truly ends in August. After getting the diploma I may go forth and do a bachelors in multimedia or graphic design. But that is another story... One thing is certain, so far this was a really good idea. Besides keeping me "sharp" it has also validated my desire for a career change. I REALLY like webdesign. And if I am able to do something about Motion Animation I will be in heaven. I REALLY like motion animation... Hopefully the stars will align and I will be able to get into that trail, follow it, and succeed. I have wasted so many years doing network work... But maybe now the new era has begun.

Friends: Groundel has been busy straightening up parts of his life (yay), Coriolis has been busy with animals and plants and then some computers... (yay?), and Carlos managed calling up and saying hello (yay!). To the surprise of everyone I keep up with everything about beloved little Paradise City, and even got to find this lovely link to savor Puerto Rico in all its splendor! Visit Eye Tour Puerto Rico and you'll see what I'm talking about. They even have a video of my favorite place, Los Morrillos Lighthouse!

Life: Getting summer clothing for little miss D., trying to keep up with the class, caring for miss D., and job hunting, house hunting, services hunting. There's never a dull moment.

Since videos did not show in his site, I posted them here just so they are there. Enjoy or something. :P

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO MEEE!!!

Yup, on April 8th I turned a year older... and somewhat wiser... The day was not so bad at all. Got phone calls from the right people, and hubby hit jackpot with a lovely victorian-goth dress that really surprised me. And the cherry on top of the sunday: Deedee has been doing great so far, so the three of us were at home. It's as good as it can get. :)

This week my new course began... Introduction to Programming. Not so thrilled about it, as I'm trying to actually run away from programming, but I know it is a necessary evil. This course teaches PHP, which seems to be in vogue. We'll see what happens... I should do good, it is not my first programming course and I dealt with some Oracle and ASP.net... It's just annoying.

And that's what sums all up, for now. I'm feeling very tired and sleepy... Ge, I wonder why...
