Spring is back!

The rain yesterday morning caused little rivers of what looked like lemon yellow paint flowing in the gutters. The pollen was so thick in some spots I could have scooped it up. It's 48 degrees outside now and a beautiful spring morning. I'm walking to campus early today since I have an appointment with a computer science professor about taking his course this summer. Both of the courses I want to take (Cloud Computing and Software Engineering for Internet Applications) in addition to Reliability Engineering require several semesters of Java programming. I'm trying to figure out if I already know enough Java to succeed in the classes or if I need to take a crash course somehow before May 20.

I'm sorry I won't be home for the funeral this morning. One of my good friend's mother died this week and I would like to be there to give her a hug. She'll be in my thoughts today; I know it will be a difficult time for her and all of her family. I am so fortunate that both of my parents are well and still enjoying their lives. I love you, Mom and Dad.
