I finished my two-day class in web design today. Basically it was a crash course in Microsoft's FrontPage application, which surprised me for some reason. Although I'm not sure why; it's not like they're going to cram a bunch of HTML down our throats in 16 total hours. But it was still a valuable class in that I have a much better vocabulary and understanding of how things work overall when it comes to web design. And I can now use the words HyperText Markup Language without feeling like a pretentious idiot. Even if I still sound like one. Almost half the course credit was centered around building an original web page using the application. Considering only a few hours were allotted to the project in class, we weren't being graded on creativity. Which was REALLY TOO BAD because my site kicked ass. It probably helped that I've had a bunch of ideas rolling around like loose marbles in my head for several weeks now as I prepare to move blogging sites. What sucked is that the instructor wasn't even interested in reading my genius; he just wanted to check off the required components. I'm like, DUDE! Do you even know how hard this site rawks?? No. I didn't say that. But I was thinking it!
Also, and I really need some effing congratulations on this, people, this was my first ever official college class. And I didn't die. So yay me. I know, I know... how can a girl use words like lugubrious and gauche and pandiculation and not be college educated?? Because I am a NERD, ladies and gentlemen! Haven't you picked up on that, yet? I get a perverse pleasure out of reading obscure material and eschewing the classics. Okay, you got me. I read the classics, too. My brain is like a bottomless dumpster; I just keep throwing stuff in, but it's kinda dirty in there so pulling it back out for use is often an unappealling prospect. Unless you're into that sort of thing. In which case, *call me!*

If you are a nerd, then I want to be one too!!!! Congratulations on finishing your first college course (and not dying). Looking forward to any changes you bring to your blog, however, I think it is perfect as is!
Congrats kidlette on your class .... don't stuff too much in that brain ... there isn't a purge or delete button and I seem to be running out of stash room for the goodies I would like to remember - hence all of us old folks claiming "senior moments" when trying to recall the simple act of laying our glasses down on a flat spot we are unable to locate!
