School Begins

Tomorrow, September twenty-sixth, the first classes of the University of Washington’s Autumn Quarter will be taught. I will be attending four of those classes. I will be recieving homework from the instructors of those classes. Homework that I will be obligated to complete in a timely manner.

Yes, summer is gone. With it, unfortunately, goes most of my free time. As much as I love working on my various projects, I also love keeping up my GPA.

That’s not to say, of course, that I won’t be continuing to work on Haml and make_resourceful. I’ll just have less time to devote to them.

This is aggravated by my workload this quarter. I’m taking a couple easy courses: Intro Linguistics, because I like language, and Voice and Articulation improvement, mostly because it fit my schedule (but also because it sounds like it might be interesting).

My other two courses aren’t so friendly, though. Intro to Formal Models, which will cover the most pencil-and-paper, theoretical aspects of Computer Science, is intimidating enough. What I’m most worried about, though, is Accelerated Advanced Honors Calculus. That’s three superlatives for one course. Yikes.

On top of that, I’m directing a play and I might be doing some from-home contracting work for Microsoft. So please forgive me if development slows down a little. Or a lot.

For example, I mentioned somewhere that I was hoping to release make_resourceful 0.2.0 by the end of September. That’s probably not going to happen. We’re switching over to rspec, and I really want to get a full-coverage test suite written before the release. It’s coming along, but I don’t think I’ll be able to finish it in time. At this point, I’d say October 7th is probably a good date to fix on.
