Themeless.

I'm Andrea Gill. I think this is one of the first time I've typed my last name, due to my irrational idea that if I never mention anything in the actual text of my blog no personal information will be given. However, my blogspot name... argill... Also the link to my Facebook and Myspace.. I never noticed those were both fake compound words.

The semester is ending, the summer is rapidly approaching, and the pile of unfinished schoolwork is looking more and more impossible. However, we are all doing our best to take it one step at a time and not lose our minds. Still, the worst for me is the observing. Five hours sitting in the back of a classroom with no other option but staring intently at the teacher whether or not she's actually lecturing causes me frustration to no end, especially when I realize that I could spend that time working on the final project for geometry.

The purpose of today is an update on life. I've been too busy to really have any inspiration for topics, and I have a webcam, so I've been video chatting recently, which is something new. Also, I own the domain andreagill.com. Another reason it doesn't matter if I say my last name. Now, the story behind this is that David owns his domain name, and Daniel was thinking of buying his. David said I probably should, too, and I remembered that I bought it last year in one of my classes when the teacher suggested we should. However, at the time I didn't know how to upload content or even make content. I looked up the information and found that I still owned another year on the domain name. I didn't realize until now that Web Design would teach me the elements necessary to actually use the FTP thing and upload content to the site. However, I don't have a program and right now an relying on my HTML and CSS skills to edit templates. I also know some JavaScript and even PERL now, though I expect to never use them again. (If you want to see that work, go to myweb.fsu.edu/arg07f/cgs3066/a4, click on survey and see the actual assignment. I only added a few questions to the pre-made survey and pre-made CGI file. I'll get your answers on my computer, so say awesome things in the comment box.) And with the schoolwork to do, my web design has reached a standstill. Over the summer I expect many changes. Keep checking, and feel free to offer any comment on the website or for what purpose it should be used. Or if you want to design it for me because you are that bored.

Yesterday, there were many tornado warnings. The school kept texting us alerts and all clears. My favorite, the last all clear that warned of flooding, followed by "Turn around don't drown." Text creating people, I want an explanation. Is texting your one creative outlet, as blogging is mine? The one place where you can say crazy things? And not have the entire class tell you to slow down because your explanation of how you find the radius is so rushed that you can't properly pronounce all of your words? I don't realize I'm talking that fast, I just get so caught up on a thought that I have to get it out before I can forget it. Maybe one day I'll learn to control the speed of my speech and hold on to my words better. Until then, frequent blog posts, because text is one of the few places where I don't lose words and can express all the thoughts that I have in my mind without getting tongue-tied.

Today had no theme. Maybe the next post will. Sorry if you read this post on nothing.
