Hmm... It seems somebody back home wants to hear something. Well, besides the fact that I have been busy, um, goofing off and also doing a little homework, I haven't exactly contacted people much. :)

Studies are going alright, not too bad, but I'm not exactly getting perfect A's in everything either... I guess I'm not as good as those sisters of mine. :) I will say that the transition to college has been pretty smooth, though hard in a way, just because homework and study have basically flipped around from what highschool was like. In highschool I basically didn't study at all, just did the reading, then the lessons, and that was it. Here I have had to learn to get stuff done, actually memorize things, and generally work.

But it hasn't been all work. I strive and look forward to the weekends greatly now. And as it is Friday night, watch movies. We're planning to watch Gladiator tonight at 9:00, so it ought be an interesting night.

I sure do miss the enormous amount of free time I had back home. During highschool I never thought I had much free time, but I know different now. I really haven't done any recreational programming, which I greatly miss. I have done some programming for CS2 in the form of our first assignment, which went pretty well. It wouldn't have been so bad if I hadn't done most of it in one night, staying up till around 2:00 PM. I can say that at the moment I really like C++ a lot better than Java, no matter how weird that may sound to those geeks out there. Maybe it is because Java is too perfect, and C++ has some nice little quirks... I don't know.

Well, I would like to get something worthwhile done tonight. Like start working on my tenth or so GUI.
