17544 Hrs

The build finally worked. My code didn’t have any syntax errors and it was starting to run. Before I was done rejoicing it finished. The data was supposed to have transferred. Did it? I went to check and sure enough it had transferred. Had it done so correctly? August 26th; good. August 26th; good. 2:41pm; good, that’s now. 2:38pm; uh-oh, how did that happen? I looked closer. The date on the data was August 26th, 2003. WHAT?!? No way! How did my program incorrectly record now as two years earlier? This is crazy!

Then I looked closer. The data was created at that time: 17544 hours before and within that 10 minute span. This shows me once again how cyclical life is; it ebbs and flows throughout time with patterns and repetitions. I never examined it retrospectively but it makes sense that as school is just beginning and before the term has many requirements, I fill my time programming and working on KingQuest and other programming projects. Why is it so hard for me to take a break and not fill it with tasks?

I leave for Florence on Wednesday. I’m going through DFW to Frankfurt, Germany and then through Milan to Florence. Everyone says that I’m going to finally relax in Florence; I’ll supposedly finally take a break and enjoy the things around me. Will I? Before I leave I’m going to work hard and finish my project for Dr. Gunn. I’m also going to hopefully redesign my website so it’s easier to update and is prepared for all of my Florence updates. We’ll see how much of it happens.
