Java Java Java … Java

I’ve been in Java training all week so far. Now, I know what you’re thinking, doesn’t Elissa know Java? Well, all my projects in college were in Java, but it’s surprising how you can write entire programs in Java without knowing a lot about the language. They don’t really teach you Java at Rutgers, they teach you programming so that you can, in theory, pick up any language.

I took Java Basics I back in the fall. 99% of that stuff I knew already, but I did learn a few new things and a lot about Eclipse. This class was Java Basics II and most of the stuff I have used, but I didn’t really know why or how it worked. I did learn some completely new stuff too, so it’s been really good, and fun! The instructor makes class interesting in a goofy way and I really enjoy doing the exercises. It’s a nice alternative to being stuck in my office all day with little to do. Tomorrow is the database course and next month is the web development course.

The instructor asked me an interesting question this morning. He said, “Elissa, do you have any kids?” … I have never, ever, been asked if I have kids. “Would you like the kids menu?” Yes. “Do you have kids?” No. Do I look old enough to be a mom? I mean, technically, I am, but still.

Anyway, once training is over, I will be able to return comments, maybe sooner. Until then, Kimmy tagged me, so I am forced to comply:

How to play : Once you’ve been tagged you have to write a blog with 10 weird, random facts, habits, or goals about yourself — at the end choose 5 people to be tagged. Don’t forget to leave them a comment saying “You’re It!” and to go read your blog. You cannot tag the person that tagged you.

1. I don’t know how to ride a bike
2. I sucked my finger until I was 10
3. I sang at Lincoln Center
4. I have a fake tooth
5. I never set foot in a single library at Rutgers
6. I have a blankie that I can no longer sleep with because it may fall apart
7. I put myself to sleep by creating episodes of Farscape in my head
8. I LOVE smores and often dream about them
9. I eat 1800 calories a day
10. I have recurring nightmares about HS calculus

  1. Hahah, geez, this is the 2nd meme I’ve been tagged on this week, and it’s a different one too! Haha. Yeah, I’ll pass. =P

    Woah! You do not know how to ride a bike?! Are you serious?? I knew of this girl who didn’t know how to ride a bike back in high school…

    Wow about sucking your finger… I didn’t know that.

    Nor did I know about the fake tooth!

    Hahaha about going to the library! Geez!

    Hehe about the blankie.

    You know… I’ve never had an actual smores before… Hahah….

    LOL, I actually need to eat more than 1800 calories a day. I need to gain weight, but it just doesn’t happen… LOL…

    Woah, that’s crazy about recurring nightmares about Calculus! High school calculus, though? What’s the difference? The AP-ness?

    Wow, working at AT&T sounds nice… Are you working at some base/headquarter? Just wondering… But wow, nice classes, that’s awesome about database and web development! =)

    LOL about kids. I’ve never been asked that either, and yeah, I’d react like you too. Hahah…

  2. No one has asked me yet if i have kids. i think if someone did, i’m going to spank him. lol.

    hey, you tagged me. Thanks! I’ll put this on my draft already.

    *mwah*

    *ps hun, delete my first retard post. hahaha.

  4. HS calculus … run and hide lol…

    I haven’t had a smores in a lot of years.. BUT I do got a cat named smores lol

  5. Oh high school calculus.. now my own nightmares are back! Don’t get me started with college calculus! That literally kept me up all night.

    My mother refused to let me suck my thumb. Apparently, she believed that it would damage my nails or the shape of my finger or something. But I don’t know if it’s true.

    Oh, smores. They’re so great. I miss Girl Scout camp outs.

    Thanks for tagging me. I had to wrack my brains for 10 facts, but I managed. =)

  6. Wow. You tagged me as well. Haha. I’ll do this during my next post.

    I got asked if I wanted a kids menu up until I was around 18? I’m like, “Um, I’m 18…”. haha. Kind of flattering actually.

    You have me craving smores. My Dad also has a fake tooth, because his brother threw a cassette tape at him, when he was a teenager, hit him in the mouth, and knocked out his tooth.

    I was a thumb sucker for awhile too. I was still sucking from a bottle and a pacifier up until I was around 5? I threw a fit – apparently!
