The weekend is being consumed by my web development class.  I spent all day yesterday and a good portion of Friday night on the homework assignment.  After a couple more futile hours this morning I am giving up.  It is 2/3 or maybe even 3/4 of the way finished, and that took over 14 hours.  I am hoping the lab we have Tuesday afternoon is enlightening.  I know for a fact that I couldn’t do this without help at the moment.  Even with the book.  This morning I went back and tried to recreate the very first example using different text and have been unable to create anything at all that is visible.  So that’s scary. 

On the other hand, the professor told us that many of us would be confused for the first three or four weeks and then suddenly a light bulb would go off.  I hope he’s right.  About the light bulb part.  I know he’s right about the being confused at the moment part. 

I wouldn’t have gotten as far as I have on this first assignment without massive amounts of help, from the professor, from my husband and from my computer friend (you know who you are).  Thanks to all of them very much.  I think it will be a very long semester for everyone.  Unless that light bulb goes off pretty darn quick.
