I’ll come slap you in the face myself!

Hey guys, how’s it going? Hope all is well with everyone. Summer is coming!!! I’m excited, especially since school has been so awful for me lately. I fell wayyy behind because I got a really bad sinus infection, plus my boss kept scheduling me for extra days after one of my co-workers walked out and quit on us ( which I high-fived her for, because I want to do the same thing) My job is full of Nazi’s and hypocrites. Anyways, after the extra work and being sick got me pretty far behind on my homework I sort of gave up. I’ll probably have to take these three classes again after I get my life sorted out. I tried moving away from my parents house, but that’s been a huge disaster. I’m soo broke, and I’ve been in and out of both the new house and my parents house that I pretty much feel like I live in limbo land. THEN, my computer broke, so I couldn’t do anything with my sites, or the Noble Estate Winery site that I’ve been working on for my aunt and uncle that own the vineyard. ( http://nobleestatevineyard.com ) And of course my homework was a bit harder to work on when I didn’t have all the necessary files for them, because they were stuck on my dead laptop. Talk about a disastrous few weeks. But, hopefully things are going to start turning around. I fixed my laptop (or at least I think I did..) I’m in the process of moving back into my parents house so that I don’t have to pay rent or other bills besides my car payment. And I’m going to purchase a book on Javascript so I can be more self taught before I retake that class. Let me tell you, if you ever take a class on Javascript, make sure they are NOT using this one: New Perspectives on Javascript and AJAX by Patrick Carey and Frank Canovatchel. It is the absolute WORST BOOK ever written, and it’s supposed to be teaching complete beginners. It’s ridiculous. There are typos in the example coding! How are beginners supposed to learn coding, when the author has errors in his coding?!?!? SRSLY people, I’ll come slap you in the face myself if you continue to write textbooks like this! It has so much stupid storytelling that you have to read 4 pages of bullshit just to get 2 pages of real content. It makes me furious. So, in conclusion to my little rant, here’s to a second try teaching myself with a GOOD book. Wish me luck! lol
