[Right now documenting my gratitude and happy moods is more beneficial than ruminating on the "what ifs" in my life. I've done quite a bit of seeking answers over the past few months, and I'm in need of a break. Right now I'm trying to truly just step back from the mental overdrive.

I spent the afternoon with future SIL and BFF. We went to the college sports game where we happily sat in the sunshine and casually observed a sport none of us knew the rules to. It was great. BFF brought her lovely daughter who is a "threenager". She went from cranky to thrilled in 2.3 seconds. And then back again. So fascinating! The lives and emotions of toddlers make me smile.

Sundays tend to be homework days, which I procrastinate on every week. I'm currently having temper-tantrums (maybe I'm the three-year-old?) over why I need to learn PHP when HTML5 is the new standard. If someone would like to enlighten me, that would be great. But from what I'm seeing, HTML5 is the new standard for responsive web pages, so why am I learning how to bring PHP in with XHTML. Seriously - does anyone know!?

But after my Javascript classes, this class is a walk in the park. Which makes me think I was on the right track with focusing on Javascript - it seems to be a better challenge for me.

This is my last class for a while, then I'll take the summer off to focus on work. Next fall I'm considering moving to the software side of things, and picking up some Java and C# at the suggestion of SIL. I'm a bit nervous for that - I hear Java can be a challenge. But then there's my favorite quote that always keeps me motivated as a young woman in Tech....

The vast majority of machines are still designed, built, driven and fixed by men. Therefore, they cannot be that complicated.” - Ivan Coyote
