i wish i could write better entries

I have two really massive entries about different subjects in the works, but they aren't finished yet and won't be until I have an hour or two to sit down and really think them out. Until then, you're going to have to bear with me griping about my classes.

I'm seriously at the point where I do NOT care anymore. I have a massive project due tomorrow, and I just do not care. I don't have the usual sense of urgency that my grade is going to be bad if I don't get this thing together. This project is such a lost cause (due in large part to a serious lack of direction) that I just cannot bring myself to care what the end result is. I'm going to do badly in this class anyway-- the instructor doesn't like me, for whatever reason. Many things are going horribly wrong with this project anyway, so I'm just hoping for some really basic thing that works to turn in tomorrow. I don't care about it being perfect anymore. The unfortunate thing is that I had selected this project because I was really interested in it. It involves writing a shopping cart application and storing website info in a database, then using user directed query strings in a HTML format to draw the info out. It was going to be really cool, but then my software started failing on me and now I don't really know what I am going to do. I would almost rather spend the time hardcoding everything in HTML, as tedious and as difficult to update as that would be, because I would at least know how to do it and wouldn't have to mess with unfamiliar database software for hours.

I'm having coffee with an old friend of mine that is a music major here to talk about being a music minor. She's very good at her instrument (like, should have went to IU or some ritzy music school in NY good) and I'd like to hear her thoughts on the program here after spending 3 years in it.

That's all for now.
