The new school year and the Interview

Many people have been asking how my classes are going. I have to say, I'm a pleased. I am currently taking another 12 credit semester. I am taking MIS 432 (Systems Analysis and Design), MIS 434 (E-Commerce), AmInd 201 (American Indian to satisfy my US Diversity requirement), and Engl 302 (Business Communications). 432 is with the same instructor I had for 331 last semester and I expect to be just a challenged and pleased with that class. 434 is a really small class (only 7 of us) meeting at 8 AM on Tuesday and Thursday. So far the instructor is cool and the lecture is more of a class discussion than it is a lecture. AmInd is going to be pretty easy. A couple of projects in that class will take some time to get done, but it will mostly be busy work. Engl 302 seems like it will be my least favorite class since I am not very interested in the subject and there will be busy work (writing memos and letters, etc.). The fun thing is, I am not in a class that has more than 50 students. No large lectures is a good thing.

The interview Friday went okay. I was not the greatest on the technical questions, but I feel we got along pretty well. The working environment seems good. Jeans and t-shirt, small staff, and cool products. I should hear a response after they interview other people, which will be in a couple weeks. In the mean time, I should go back over what I have done in the cocoa book I borrowed from Colin and continue to work in it over the course of the semester.

I still have one more PHP project to work on this semester outside of work. I will be creating a shopping cart and integrating it with PayPal for my cousin's web site KSBoutique.com so that she will be able to take orders over the Internet.
