Today was on okay but frustrating day.  I was working on some code logic at work today that had me puzzled most of the day.  Near the end of the day the topic of “yesterday” came up and I thought back to when I had the opportunity to make a choice and go further out for college and study game programming at some place like Westwood.  Instead I didn’t… I puddled around at a local college and just scooted by, barely walking away with a two year degree in computer networking =\ .  If anyone where to ask for my advice on college my advice would be this, if you are not fairly sure what you want to do after high school DON’T go to college strait out of high school just because everyone else is.  Sit out for a year or two and work some tedium job and wait until you find something that grabs your interest.  Maybe it’s bad advice, but it’s the advice I am offering anyone reading this.

Enough on “yesterday”, had to get my two-cents advice in for the day I guess.  I’m still working on that user library for CodeIgniter.  I’m going to try and dedicate three hours to it tonight, but I probably won’t finish it yet tonight… good and bad at the same time.  Good in the fact that it’s going to be fairly robust with quite a few features and options; but, bad in the fact it’s just going to take longer to code out and test!

I spent the first hour when I got home working on my upper body.  Did the bench-press and curls and before I go to bed tonight going to see how many crunches I can crack off.  I will say on the plus side my knees feel pretty good for just having ran 15 miles yesterday =) .
