Today I got some good news. It appears that my job is secure for a little while longer. After presenting requirements that the College of Education must meet by next Spring, the State Department of Education has decided to change the standards. This means all the work I've done over the past 4 months will likely need to be trashed and redone. And the Department of Education still wants everything in order by Spring. We won't have any data by then, but we should at least have the groundwork done.

I've become quite the accomplished Access developer. I've done more with Access since I've been here than ever before. The people using the database come to me constantly with ideas and needs. I've done some stuff I never thought possible. It's not as robust as a web-based database solution, but it works and works well.

My new web site design is almost finished. I've got the template done and the database has been populated. I need to apply the template to all the pages and upload everything. Hopefully that will be finished in the next couple of weeks.

My math class is horrible. The first day of class was the last time I had a clue about what was going on. It's all theory which means we try to prove ridiculous statements that somebody pulled out of their butt. If I see a number during class, I consider myself lucky. From what I hear, he will pass everyone. If I show up to class every day and vomit nonsense on a page, I should get a B. Tonight we have a study group meeting to discuss the first homework. I don't think any of us know what's going on, so it should be pointless. However, I'm going on the off-chance that it will be helpful. Any help I can get is welcome.
