Today is Pungenday, day 62 in the season of Confusion, 3271.
I've been feeling lately like my brain is getting really sluggish. I don't pick things up as quickly as I used to and it takes more effort to do so. There's also the fact that things like spelling and grammar that I never had problems with before are not quite at the levels they used to be. It's like all that useful knowledge is getting shoved out of my brain to make room for storage for lyrics to bad 80s pop songs. I don't like this, although I suppose it's another one of those lovely side effects of getting older.
To hopefully stave off some of the brain atrophy, I'm signing up for an online class in software design at NVCC since it's a prerequisite for the Java programming classes. (Damn, I just noticed that the first day of class is in the middle of my long-planned vacation. I'll have to figure out how to work around that since I'm not taking a laptop and I wouldn't want to do homework even if I was.) Anyone have a copy of Tools for Structured and Object-Oriented Design 6th edition by Bohl and Rynn they want to sell me? It's probably a good indication that I've been out of college for more than a decade and/or I was not a science major of any variety that I'm having sticker shock at the $104 price tag for the textbook.
And why do I have to pay a student activity fee if I'm in the distance learning program?
