The Elusive (Or at least mishapen) Shark
* We took a field trip in the Visual Design class, over to a Borders to get some books out of the Art and Design section and pick out some designs for brochures, business cards and so on that were particularly good or bad and discuss why. Plus some instruction on Bezier curves and so on in Illustrator, which always defeated me before. I can now make "ocean waves" like a champ, but drawing a shark still eludes at this point.
* Orientation was had. Program director had many reassuring/encouraging things to say. I have already received more personal attention than I did in four years at Boston University. There are only about 100 students currently at this campus, and maybe as many out in Woburn, so I guess you can't escape Actual Contact.
* C# is so easy-peasy to me at this point, as we were only covering the basics of flow control, so tripping over the fact that it's not formally "if then else end if" but "if () {} else {}". We still don't have any homework. Our first day-long Saturday class is the 8th, which I'm telling myself isn't any worse than any work day I ever had at my jobs, but damn if it doesn't start at 8:30 AM
* Got a 'bonus' severance check, since I miscounted by a week, evidently, which is like Free Money at this point. Also got a couple weeks back Unemployment benefits, so for a little while I can feel flush.
* And Health Insurance starts tomorrow! Just a few hours more to wait nervously!
