Week 11

Okay so I think it is still week 9 in the course but the fight against time must continue. For an update on the French situation: my wife actually had class today. This is the first full day of class for her since Christmas break. Even then, it was like a half-week of not much to do at the university. There are four weeks left in her semester with a two-week Spring Break starting on Monday next week (ITALY!!!!). So, I'm trying to keep up with her no homework (or work period) over the past...entire semester. I really don't want to have to sit out on the Coliseum or something to make a blog or discussion posting, so I'm trying to get 'er done.

In terms of the course work for week 11, I think I have about done it all, save the file transfer to the class project server (again super-firewall here at the univ.). After I do a quick upload of the javascript, php, and video file I think I might be caught up to something like April 13, which is a great head start for my Spring Break. Yeah that's right I worked right through the calendar Spring Break for UNT so I can enjoy Spring Break de France. I have also done some more tweaking of the Final Project (still can't figure why my suggestion box/javascript page isn't forwarding submissions to my email). Now I should figure out how to order coffee or pizza in Italian because I have read that restaurants have three prices for everything on the menu: one if you order in Italian, one if you order in English politely, and one if you are the stereotypical Westerner who refuses to learn anything but your regional English/French/Spanish and demands that the service bend your way. Needless to say I'm going for some culture acquisition and cheap prices.

A Bientot,

Mark
