Java Tutoring and Wii Gaming Nights

So I had an eventful day. Not only did I advance ahead to Access in my Microcomputer Applications class so I could grok databases better, but I also helped the person I tutor on hit Java homework. The progress was a little slow, but I'm also focusing on getting him into good coding habits and practice/memory. I recommended he see the teacher for further help on projects, and that he take notes and ask questions whenever he can. I want to see him succeed!

Of course, that's not all. I also had some fun with Wii Gaming Nights! I signed up for a $50 Wal-Mart giftcard, won a shirt, and even got some snacks to take home. Truly tonight was a great night. Midterms are coming up, so having an event to blow off some steam is nice.

Oh, and I let them film me playing Just Dance on the Wii to go up on our school library's Facebook page. :D

ASP.NET and MS SQL

So a recently acquired internship has given me a skills assessment (doubles as an actual job). It is database oriented and uses the .NET framework. I've got most of the tools, and just finished downloading SQL Management Studio 64 Bit to install. My boss wants it for tomorrow, so I'm trying to see what I can do to give it a shot so he can accurately place me into a current project.

I'm gonna be just a little bit busy for a while. I think that's alright. I'm restarting my other, slightly more powerful machine here with Windows on it right now, as I guess they want me to after a scan of stuff I need to do.

I swear that I'm going to try to update this at least once a week.

So I know that I have a practically nonexistent audience right now, but I don't care. Part of my problem is that I never update this! So yeah. Let's fix that.

I've been keeping busy. I really like my classes. They're going really well. I've signed up for Phi Beta Lambda, and hope to have great fun with that. I may be finding work here (beyond tutoring). I turn 25 in a few hours. I write short sentences about things. Seriously though. I would say more, but I think keeping it short and simple is fine for now.

This is probably going to be about all I talk about for now. I just wanted to blow the dust off this again. This time, there's a little less, I think. ;)

Also, I just noticed the "Labels: " box. Maybe I'll utilize that more in the future.

Edit: I added the blog to my favorites in Chrome, under the "Social Media" folder. I also set my machine to not track my own pageviews. ^_^

Long Overdue Update

I really should neglect this less.

I mean, it's been an entire semester since I last posted an update! Class starts this Monday!

I will be keeping very busy this semester, but I'm feeling a bit more ready than I have in a while. Once I finish this semester I'll just have two more classes to take. One will be in the fall, and the other will be next spring. Heck, the class next spring isn't even technically a class, but rather an internship.
