Databases and EOE
It's been a while since I worked on the new version of EOE. Interviews and school sort of took over my time. Now going back to it and looking at the code I realize how oriented around databases it is.
I don't know when it happened, but apparently I'm a database developer now. The majority of my interviews were for jobs that primarily involved database work. Whether it was ADO.NET or PHP with MySQL, I got interviews for it. I suppose I shouldn't be that surprised, I've been working with databases for years, it's just odd how I sort of fell into it without realizing.
On a side note, after this Wednesday I should have time to work on EOE and get back into the OO code. Right now I got to build another class for listings and my mind just doesn't want to wrap around it because of my assignments that are due.
Once I get the listing class done and implement the listings the rest of the site should finish quickly. I wanted to get the listing class done before I finish with profile deletion because I want to run a check to see if that profile has listings. That way I can run through various tests without issue.
I sort of can't wait for the completion of the site. It's going to be the most user-oriented site I've coded, and I plan for it to only be the beginning. I want to create sites that can handle a lot of user generated content, it's sort of one of my main goals to do for 2010.
And I'm hoping once I switch to wordpress I can start writing more formal posts, perhaps have a separate section of like articles or deep thoughts/opinions. That way the site has a lot more reading appeal then me just talking about various TV shows and vague descriptions about my websites. Haha.

Unable To Relax
I've been thinking over some stuff lately and I realized that I'm sort of unable to relax. At least when it comes to school.
I'm always thinking what I need to do for school. If something is due in 2-3 weeks I'm still trying to sort out when to work on it. I can never stop thinking about the looming assignments or the date of midterms and finals. I don't really stop to think that I have extra time to concentrate on other things like my stories or websites.
Perhaps this is why I feel like I'm constantly busy... Albeit my schedule is pretty full but I do have more downtime then I realize. Now that I'm procrastinating a little on things I'm starting to realize that I'm not really procrastinating, I'm just planning out WAY too much time for what I want to do.
I need to find a good balance between thinking about school and thinking about side projects. Because now even as I type this I'm still thinking about my Calculus assignment due Thursday.
BAH
