a day of databases, and terrible chinese food

i got to see my parents today....online of course. thanks to skype, and my sis, i got to chat with my parents, and see them. i just realized i haven't had face to face contact with them for almost six months now. they looked healthy, and young, while i saw myself, old, tired, getting sick. i feel much better now. i was sneezing like a horse yesterday, snot going all over the place. hopefully tonight i'll get a good rest for tomorrow.

anyhow, spent the whole day learning JDBC, Derby, and SQL. good refresher for sql, and to be honest, i'd rather do php with sql, then java with sql, but oh wellz. i looked over so many tutorials i think my pimples started going crazy again. finally got Eclipse to work well with the database, and learned the java.sql package. really cool, and now i'm preparing my lecture slides to teach the students the exciting world of databases.

anyhow, we had dinner tonight around 8:30. we decided to go to the nearby chinese restuarant. it was probably the most worstest chinese food i've ever had in my life. michael was swearing and saying how terrible the food was. on top of that, there were chinese people singing chiense karaoke the entire time we were eating. it was bad, but funny. that's about it for today. short entry, need my rest. this week is going to be tough, yet i think ideas and businesses are goign to be born during this critical week for the students. i'm excited to see what's going to happen, and the ideas that these students have in their minds, ready to be turned into a reality.
