The biggest challenge, at least for me, in studying Modern Standard Arabic isn’t the alphabet. That’s a snap. They are just letters, and you don’t have to deal with UPPER case and lower case or print vs. script. One case, just script. Memorizing vocabulary isn’t that hard either – you just have to associate familiar [...]

Yes, I’m off on another trip, this time to take a PL/SQL class in San Diego for work. I’m taking the Cayman. I’ll try to continue the entries about the Spain trip as I’m only halfway through. Sheesh, I told everyone I could write a book about it and it really seems I could. Oh, and [...] It’s official, ladies and gentlemen, I got my diploma in the mail today. I now have a Master of Science in Database Development and Administration with High Honors. Whatever. I’ve forgotten everything already anyway. What is 3rd normal form again? The “High Honors” is because my GPA is 3.982. 3.982. Not 4.0, but 3.982. This is because [...] I have submitted the take home part of my final exam. I have finished my last class. I have completed the requirements for my master’s program. I am DONE! I’m also exhausted. I’m going to eat something and go to bed. I have finished my paper. I have finished my project. The first part of the final is tomorrow night. The second part is take-home short essay with 25 questions. It’s due on Wednesday. It’s almost over. I started the latest, and LAST class for my degree yesterday. It’s going to be a lot of busy work, but I think it will be fine. It’s probably what I need now anyway. I’ve made a few minor updates to my web site. If you’ve been keeping up with my blog at all, there is [...] Today I finally got my grade for my last class. The one from hell. Somehow I managed an ‘A’. There must have been one heck of a curve. I also paid for my LAST CLASS and applied for graduation. I can’t believe I’m almost done. My latest class has been over for two weeks now, yet I am still pressed for time. This is partially because I was gone most of last week, but also because I am just trying to do too much. And taking care of Chuck’s affairs doesn’t help. I realized yesterday that I have over-booked my evenings [...] Just finished my final and turned in my project. My class is OVER! alhamdu lillah! Tomorrow it’s back to the gym to get rid of rid of the belly and gain some weight back… OK, I realized that the movers took down my pictures while carrying Hank’s furniture out of the house so they wouldn’t be damaged. And Hank did bring back my glasses and can opener. Of course I had bought more glasses so now we have many, many glasses. Time for a party? Actually when I graduate [...] |
