Coding might be my nemesis

This is the last day in school; tomorrow I will go away for Christmas celebrating, family time and other nice things. I had hoped that I would somehow (I realize now that magic would have been required) be done with the coding of my portfolio so that I wouldn’t have to worry about that while stuffing my face with gingerbread.

But now there is only a few hours left and I am nowhere near finished. I am tired and a feeling of hopelessness is beginning to spread. I know what my portfolio will look like, I know how it will work, but I have no clue to how to make it work.

We also handed in our final decision on what specialization we would work on for 9 weeks next year. Fully aware that it would mean 9 weeks of solid frustration for me, I chose tech. Only a few hours of coding later, I am ready to kill myself.

Part of me knows that the reason I chose tech is so that I will be able to do these things in the future, another part if me wonders if I will survive…

Foiled by Flash!

It’s sad, isn’t it? That even though I followed 5 different flash tutorials to the letter my short movie doesn’t work. I blamed the tutorials the first 3 times, but now I am not so sure. My hate for Flash increases.

This is the “portfolio” module, which means that it is both individual and probably loads of fun since we can do what we want. I still haven’t purchased my domain though, seems like such a huge decision. It will probably be rebeccaberg.se (.com was taken), but the fact that rebecca.com is free is nagging me a bit. Maybe I should go with just my first name?

Here at the end of the world (Karlskrona) all is well. Every window has the Christmas candles lit day and night, making the town glow and the advent feeling spread. Environmental thinking has no place when it comes to Christmas lights apparently.
