School is almost over for me...

...And that of course means, crazy busy. I am taking 5 classes, and as in every semester, last two weeks is when I have homework on all of those classes. In Data Bases, I have to build an application in C# that connects to MySql, that isn't too hard, but it takes a fair amount of time. In Data Structures, I have to make a program that utilizes at least 10 sorting algorithms, again, that is not hard, but time consuming. In Digital Circuits I have to make a fully functional digital "clock", hours, minutes and seconds, that is not only time consuming as hell, it is expensive buying all the necessary material, and with all the homework I'm doing, I'm not getting a lot of work hours, so, not a lot of money. In Programming IV...well, that's the easiest class I'm taking, I had to make a program that saves scores of any kind of game (lucky for me, my last project for Programming III last semester was a game, so, yeah, I'm going to recycle it, haha), and transfer them to Excel and make a graph showing the best 10 scores, but that was easy as hell, already done, also in C#. And in Indusrial Psychology...well, I only have to study all these crazy technical names so I might do well in my final, but that is by far my least favorite thing to do ever.

On the positive side, two weeks from now, I'm going to be a free relaxed man, at least for the remainder of the year, will have plenty of time for my "job", which I gotta say, I'm really enjoying. I'm learning loads of things, not only Ruby, but learning to optmize problems faster and better by using logic...oh, logic, how I like you. Plus, when people at school ask me what I do, I can tell them I'm a programmer and I can see in their eyes, they feel a little jealous, but also happy for me, and they realize pursuing a programming career is not out of their hands.

Another activity I've been doing lately is watching movies...Ok, I've always done that, but for people who know me, it is no secret that I don't really like to watch movies at home, I do go to the movie theater every sunday, no exception, been doing that for about 2 years now, but when it comes to watching movies at home...I don't know, I am never in the mood, don't really have a reason for it. But recently I bought a Blu-Ray drive for my computer, had to make good use of my 1080p TV, and have been watching all the movies Diego and Ricky have bought over the last year in my computer, and I'm really enjoying it, I think it's going to become one of my favorite things to do when I'm home, and because of that, I'm starting to buy movies myself, just ordered Up! and Hot Fuzz.
