HB Day 4 - getting better

Today, I gave myself permission to not do the homework exactly. I looked it over. I figured out what needs to be done. And that was it. I decided I will leave it to fully do tomorrow and that is just fine. My brain can only handle so much.

Traffic was fine except for the jaywalker in spiked heels who started crossing the road as I was approaching (yes, I had the light) and then she stopped and turned around because she had dropped her scarf and a nice man called her attention to it. She jumped when I honked at her. Good thing I was going slowly, but still... JAYWALKING!... ok, does that count as an interesting story about traffic?

Today, we covered lists in lecture and memory. I've decided that I like lists. I want to learn all I can about them and become and expert on that. I think I'll also see if I can give a lightning talk about memory... the whole iPod playlist story. Good times.

I have to say that although I'm not sleeping well and although I'm frustrated, it's fine. I'm really enjoying the challenge. For the first time in a very, very long time, I'm mentally challenged. Things are not coming easily and that is fine. If it were coming easily, then I would be wondering why I was paying them to teach me this. (Oh yeah, I'm terrible at self study). But it's good and draining and exactly the experience I've been craving. (We'll see how I feel next week.) At any rate, this is good for me despite the traffic and frustrations.

Tonight, I talked with Matt and Isabelle (Nick and Ken) about potential names for my app. Well, the one name that we really liked, Glazebot, has already been taken. Dammit! Glazemonkey was another idea. It's good, but not as much fun as Glazebot...

Glazebunny

Glazebug

Glazenado

Glazetron6000

humbug...

Oh, I think I'll see if I can add another feature to my glaze app. Trolling the internet to find glaze recipes of a specific kind. Cone 5-6, cone 10... copper red...

Glazetroll...

ugh
