And I don't need to think about getting a job because I took entirely the wrong degree and have to requalify! Haha! Ha! Ha! Ha! :-\
Redball:
heeheehohohaha, but as I recall it, you've stuck with the wrong degree because it's a Highly Regarded Degree from a Very Reputable Institution which, when combined with your midwifery training, will surely qualify you when you finally are chosen PM.

I decided to take an extra semester, which was a very expensive decision. It does mean I don't need to start the job search process yet though.
I finished the first section of Google's tutorial for building an Android app. I now have a useless little app that does what every "first program" does. It prints back the text I enter into it. I am very happy with it though. I think I am just going to progress through their tutorials and comment the hell out of the code. My main problem is that everything is in Java and XML, neither of which I know at all, so I am just piecing it together as I go and I am bound to have a ton of frustrations when I try to do something on my own. I think I am going to start going to the "coffee house coders" group that meets in Ann Arbor though. I have heard they are friendly people who don't mind explaining things when you are stuck.

I envy you that experience. I created a little music notation recognition program in BASIC in the mid-80s, but never went further. There are a couple of projects that interest me, but at this point not enough to start from scratch.
Barmymoo:
I woke up to snow. It has been snowing heavily all day. There is a good chance I will not be able to get to my blood donation appointment tomorrow. Sadly I don't think there is a good chance that the rehearsals for Saturday's ridiculous concert will be cancelled :( Even though we won't be able to cycle there and will have to walk.
