I'm back to applying for internships kind of. I've been checking my student email regularly again and saw one coming up for this summer that seems like something I might possibly qualify for.

I sent an email with my resume attached. I still feel a bit cucked cause I wanted to have more shit to show for on the resume, the Hackathon I wanted to do last semester I didn't plan out for that well so I couldn't go and this fraternity that I was invited to I also could not join because of time conflicts with my schedule. I've taken a complete break from all that certification stuff but the more I think about it the more I want to get back into working on getting some and not giving up this time.
 
I swear to Christ, if I see another fucking Mazda ad on youtube, I'm going down to the nearest car dealership and taking a crowbar to all the mazdas.
 
In my typically fantastic sense of time, I've managed to start a web dev certification program 2 weeks in. Scrambling to catch up while having to balance chorus rehearsals has been hell, but I'm nearly there. Maybe I'll be able to start Week 4 fresh.
On a more amusing note, I've found I can't read XML without thinking of tumblr. It's super special and custom, like tumblr, and it always ? uses?? question marks??? It's such a whiney special snowflake of a markup language.

Edit: Fuck yes all caught up. 3 weeks worth of work done in a week and a half. Looking forward to the end of cramming and the beginning of learning like a normal person now.

Two things.

I'm happy that my sociology class got cancelled today. There are a lot of hipster douches in that class who are obnoxious and the material is boring as fuck.

The other thing is that since doing those doodles yesterday and posting them to the Post Your Art Thread, I've had a strong desire to do something much more polished with the idea and turn it into something fully colored and inked soon cause those were just shitty doodles, nothing planned like what I can usually do.

I have a specific idea in my mind that's still right in my head right now that I'll start getting the rough idea for on paper and then taking that, and doing some more roughs on a tablet and going from there. It has been a while since I've done some actual drawing but I'm willing to get back to that and getting over my insecurity about it.
 
I've been working on a drawing that ended up more elaborate in design than originally planned, and have to present it today...unfinished. I'm fucked.
 
Kinda pissed. This professor I have for programming (it's Java) takes participation by asking students questions about the slides that he shows and for the first few weeks, the format of his class was nothing like that, so out of nowhere, he asks me some random question and I couldn't answer it at all because I wasn't prepared and I was completely nervous too.

It was confusing how this class is set up and worst of all, the professor has hearing problems so he can loud and annoying to listen to and the class itself is so fucking long and painful to sit through at times. Kill me. Someone else answered his question and they still didn't get a point because it was wrong. Either way, I'm going to have to do all I can to do the exercises out of the textbook repeatedly and just rely on other resources to help me out here cause this professor isn't really that great at all and this guy is supposed to be one of the "better" programming professors for the business school I'm in.

I don't feel like I'm really learning right now and I want to change that. The class is just the guy going through PowerPoint slides and just going through examples and having us copy/paste them. This whole semester is still shit.
