One down, one to go! Actually - two. I’ll be upgrading this Associates to a Programming Specialist Associate in the spring. I realized earlier this year while going over what I need for my B.S. in Computer Science that I already had what I needed for the Gen Ed Associate, so I thought heck ya, why not? It’s been a good feeling to get at least something for all these years of school.
The goal is to get my B.S. in Computer Science at UIS. Who knows, maybe I’ll go on for a masters. I’ve learned that I should never underestimate myself. =D

Keep the Tweets?
I’ve been tweeting MUCH more than blogging, and it seems to be over running my blog here. Of course a 140 char or less quick answer to “What are you doing?” is much less time consuming than a whole blog post, so obviously there will be more of those. But my posts, however far between they are, are basically getting lost.
So I’m considering removing my Twitter updates from my blog stream. It’s kind of nice that they update here, but they are overwhelming my blog!
The best answer of course, would be to blog more often. But I’ve been too busy to take the time.
What do you think - keep the tweets? And if you’re sitting here wondering what a tweet is, or what the heck is Twitter, Check it out!

Just bought books for porch ideas and how-to’s. The thought of ripping off the existing porch makes me tired.
