Mambo mambo mambo

Every year I work at Missions Fest I come home with the wonderful benefit of new technological skills. This year it's the knowledge of how Mambo works. Mambo is a wonderful site manager, great for running php/mysql database driven sites. This is great since I've been working on remaking our church's website using the Mambo system. I have to say, I don't think I can ever go back to static webpages. Database driven sites are amazing. You have one template for the site, with one html code and css file. All your content is stored in the database. Adding and moving around content using Mambo is quick and painless. I used to take pride in knowing the knitty gritty of how to code everything with notepad. A little older, I know figure 'why reinvent the wheel'. Know how what your using works, and know how to use it in the most efficient manner possible. Keep the knitty gritty for C++. Can't wait to roll out the new site. But for now it's very malnourished: little content, no graphics. That has to be taken care of.

On a more school-ish note, I just realized that both my Chem midterm and my Microbiology midterm are next week. Chem I've known for a while (without trepidation), but Microbi I just figured out today when I looked at the first page of the course package (ALWAYS READ THE FIRST PAGE!!!). So now the anxiety begins. Microbi is hard as heck, this is gonna be a slaughtering.
But to make me feel better, our Hebrew prof told us that we are going to be reading the book of Jonah (in Hebrew of course) from beginning to end, during the remainder of term. Yaaay!! See, languages are pure pain as you learn the basic grammar and vocab. When you reach the point where you can finally read, ohh my how good it tastes. Not only that, my Greek prof said that by the beginning of 2nd year Greek, we should be able to read Galatians cover to cover (in Greek, duh) . All this pain is paying back with interest!

Oh, I'm tempted to pull a Kierkegaard and attack my own writings under pseudonyms. That's how very certain I am of the words coming out of my mouth. Please, catch the sarcasm.
