Current situation. Life has been crazy, term only started two weeks ago and I am already up to my neck in insanity. Augmented Library is driving me crazy. I've learned some ruby and some processing and now I am suppose to be writing in a new language being written write now called ruby+processing, which is jruby (java+ruby) with the processing libraries. I have just started programming this year. It's like going to Barcelona when you've had a year in high school of spanish and french, and trying to speak Catalan. You may be able to pick up what people are saying because you recognize words and structures from french and spanish, but you couldn't put together a sentence without a dictionary, let alone give someone directions. I wish I could just learn a programming language that has a book I can use as reference instead of jumping around. It's like learning to drive a stick shift when you keep switching cars where each car's clutch lets out a different place. Once you finally seem to figure one out you are in different car and stalling. (sorry about the extended metaphors). That plus learning Maya and the advanced painting class are going to kill me. I don't even know about how my workload will work out when theories of psychotherapy picks up. I just keep telling myself that the next six weeks might be hell but then the library will be completely augmented and I can focus on the rest of my classes more. arg. I am going to go to bed now.
