What the F? A midterm!?

I thought I was out of school, but lo and behold, I enrolled in a javascript class to improve my programming skills and thus become a more valuable employee. For some reason, it didn't quite sink in that I would have to take a midterm.

As I sit here in javascript class, having just finished my midterm, I am very surprised at how much easier it seems to be now, out of school, just doing this for my own edification, than it seemed when I was actually in the thick of it. I wonder if I went back to school if it would be as hard as it once was.

I guess we'll see how I feel after I actually get my grade. :)

I thought the same thing when I went back for the first time and enrolled in classes that I actually WANTED to take. I am glad that you are learning something.

Nanny told me a long time ago that you should always be learning something. She said never stop, never extinguish your curiosity for the new and always among everything else be happy. Life is too short.

Wow thats crazy!! I think it would be the exact opposite for me - I feel like I would be hard pressed to make myself study or feel like it mattered - but I am really glad you are doing so well and with such ease. I think this glass is great for you and I'm really glad youre finally learning Java:)

Great words of advice from Sheila/Nanny. I can't really picture Nanny using the word "Extinguish." :D

Val! - how many times have you said I need to learn Flash? How many times have I said I need to learn javascript? haha
