Oh wow, what a week.
Before I tell you all about my week, I need to let you know what happened Monday night just after I submitted my entry. I was ready to start working on my homework when my aunt and uncle show up with their new convertible. So we had to BS around, and I, of course, had to drive it a bit. They got the car just in time for it to start getting cool out and for them to leave it in storage for when they go down to Texas for the winter. I didn't get around to starting my homework until 12:00.
I don't remember if I mentioned this before, but my 'rents have bought me a plane ticket to New York in order to visit my brother for a few days over Christmas. I will be around for a few days after finals and I will be around for New Year's eve. I will, however, be spending my Christmas day away from home with my brother. I don't know what his work schedule is, but it would be cool to visit some relatives on the east cost. Possibly Jody and Lief in Connecticut or Elisa and Will in Pennsylvania.
Anyway, the highlights of the week. Wednesday was a good day. During the FUG meeting I decided to start working on a new version of my web site that uses CSS. Church was fun. Fritz talked to Colin a little bit about setting up the new ULC web site. After he talked with Colin, he hit me again asking for a meeting with me. He wants to know what I'm thinking about church, and what my "path" is.
Over the summer, I have lost a lot of my curiosity and church became something that I just went to in order to hang out with friends. I still listened a little bit to the messages if they were good, but lately I haven't been as attentive. I have thought about attending bible study in order to re-spark my curiosity. Perhaps a meeting with Fritz may put things into perspective for me.
Today, I guess, was pretty productive. I helped a few people at work and got help with my CSS from Chris and Nick, but they couldn't help get a footer going. I ended up posting on SA for some advice, and after a few replies and more fiddling, I finally got something that I was satisfied with. I'm really starting to like the concept of CSS as opposed to designing with tables. There are a few disadvantages, but sometimes a good challenge can make things interesting.
While I was messing around with my new site, I got an IM from someone I know needing help turning in homework for Com S 227. I had to remember back to when I took that class and how I had to turn in homework. We eventually figured it out, and while doing so, I discovered that I still have access to the Com S server. I have print quotas and everything, but I'm not going take advantage of such freebies. I like getting the Com S emails about Com S club, or other coding lectures or demonstrations around campus.
Colin and I went to see Resident Evil. It was better than I expected, but I still don't really like those types of movies. I give a C+.
Anyway, it's really late. I plan on sleeping in fairly late. Later.
