Yo yo yo.So lately I’ve been doing pretty well. I got over my initial discombobulation over being axed by Coffee Shop Sarah relatively quickly, relative being where it took me (in retrospect) about 8 years to *truly* get over Lisa Kim, it took me a whole 5 minutes to get over CSS, because I realized that a girl not liking me in no way decreases my worth as a human being. (No duh, right? Well now it is.)

Anyway, I’ve hung out with someone who works near me last Friday, as a matter of fact, and she seems pretty cool, too. I haven’t called her or anything since then, I hope she’s not expecting a call, but… anyway I’ll figure it out later.

Also, I haven’t been coding lately. I think I ran into a wall of sorts, or at least a very steep rise in the path with an incline of 3/8ths Pi or so, since I’m at the point where I have to now design the interface, aka make it look “pretty” and useable. And that’s just the admin portion. I still have the survey itself to be taken by the student to conjure up, but that’s relatively simple… I should have that up with 30 hrs of coding. I think I’ll work on it today. Downtown.

Well, with all that time freed up by not doing my volunteer work for a bit, I’ve been playing EVE Online, and it’s not so bad as long as I don’t get caught up in it. Character advancement happens when I’m offline, so I can log in, select the skill I want to train, and log out and do other stuff I need to do while my character skills up.

Yesterday I took my first violin lesson with a lady named “Azi”, her last name I can’t remember because it’s long and Russian. She seemed on edge the whole lesson, kinda like it was awkward for her to be teaching me or whatever, and I could have sworn I saw her bottom lip quiver when she said she would see me next week… in fact I’m 99.9% positive I saw that. She’s not bad looking, and the fact that she’s an accomplished violinist is pretty awesome, since I don’t get to meet a professional musician every day mulling about in Colo Spgs.

What else… I’m still looking for a perfect spot to work. I think I’ll be returning to Pike’s Perk downtown, but only once in a while.

Speaking of which, a factor to my not having been coding last couple of days was that my work situation has changed… suffice it to say, I don’t have as many hours of free time on a day I work, and when I’m off duty I’ve been playing EVE. I think I’ll be playing EVE and practicing violin for the next few days, and hopefully by the time EVE loses its novelty I’ll be coding and practicing violin.

Oh oh oh, also I’m registering for classes on the 12th of this month. I just found out on the UCCS website that they have two classes available online next semester, and just my luck they are the two that I’m interested in! So I hope I can gain entry into those two courses and I can simply take the classes online. If it was meant to be, it will happen!

Anyway, I’ll be posting here again later. Just lately I haven’t had any internal turmoil-ish concepts that I’ve had to work out. Life’s great.
