Comment Friday (Number 7/∞)

It is Comment Friday here at Love All Books and at BAYB (where I grabbed the idea from initially).

So, on that note, as long as you're here . . .

Please post a comment while you're visiting and tell me what you're up to. Tell me what you're reading and what you think about it!

As for moi, I finished reading How to Read Literature Like a Professor: A Lively and Entertaining Guide to Reading Between the Lines by Thomas C. Foster, and I'm still reading The Quilter's Apprentice by Jennifer Chiaverini (May's "Neighborhood Wive's Book Club" pick).

In other news, school is out for Riley (my six year old kindergarten graduate), but the summer session at Saint Paul College has only just begun. (Saint Paul College is—as I've mentioned before—where I am working toward a Web Developer Certificate.) This summer I'm enrolled in an online class, XML Programming.

I also met, yesterday, with my academic advisor there to discuss which of the elective classes I should take for this certificate. (The academic advisor is, coincidentally, my XML Programming class instructor for the moment.)

I had originally been leaning toward PHP and MySQL Programming, but he showed me the folly of thinking and I'll most likely take Java Programming 1 instead, followed up by the not required, but definitely advisable Java Programming 2 and Java Certification.

I can take the PHP and MySQL Programming at some later date to enhance by skill base, but PHP isn't nearly as, ahem, fiscally responsible (a phrase which here means providing copious employment opportunities) as Java.

Have a great Friday.

Oh, and head over to BAYB and leave a comment there!

Before I forget: I decided to make this week's Thursday Thirteen into A CONTEST.

I'm still reading How to Read Literature Like a Professor: A Lively and Entertaining Guide to Reading Between the Lines by Thomas C. Foster and I'm still reading A Spot of Bother by Mark Haddon—which I've almost finished—and will have a review up soon.

Have a great Friday.

As odd as this is for me to say, I'm reading much more than I should be right now, and what I'm reading is not really what I should be devoting the most energy to.

Anyone reading this blog for awhile probably has figured out that the Final Exam for my JavaScript class (AKA: Internet Programming - Client Side) at Saint Paul College is right around the corner—Monday, in fact—and I should be studying for that. And finishing up my final projects.

So what am I reading?

For fiction I'm reading A Spot of Bother by Mark Haddon (author of the truly excellent and highly recommended The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time).

For non-fiction I'm reading How to Read Literature Like a Professor: A Lively and Entertaining Guide to Reading Between the Lines by Thomas C. Foster, so don't be surprised if my reviews of books become better. (And—though I hope not—snooty!)

You've been warned!
