Near death experience?

Not quite, but six days of pure hell. In 31 years of life, I haven’t experienced the joys the flu. Last Monday I went to bed at 8pm with what felt like a sinus headache. I suffered throughout the week with a high temperature, severe body aches, chills and feeling like crap.

I finally recovered on Sunday and returned to work on Monday . It’s now Tuesday and though I’m still a bit light-headed, though I feel much better than I did last Tuesday.

Florida pictures

These are a bit late but I’ve included a few photos from the Ft Lauderdale trip, November 9-12, 2007.

Florida-bound!

Sebastian Beach
My bags are packed and I’m headed to Fort Lauderdale at 8:00am tomorrow. Mike, Zack and I will meet up with our friends Roger (from Columbus), Ryan and David (from DC) for a fun-filled weekend of drinking, shopping and exploration. We’ll also spend plenty of time soaking up the sun on Fort Lauderdale’s miles of beaches.

Half-way there

Last week I completed the mid-term for my Programming Fundamentals (Java) course at Longview. This means I’m half-way there. I expected to do better, but the it was also more challenging than I expected. I ended up with an 86% and still have an A in the class. I attribute my success to the excellent instructor. In an informal comparison of a handful of computer-related classes at Longview compared to Johnson County Community College; Longview wins, hands-down.
