This college semester has proved to be cluttered, chaotic and basically overwhelming/over-demanding. The only class I'm taking that's fully enjoyable is Creative Writing, mostly since I enjoy writing stories for it (unfortunately, my drive to write stories down only comes when I take a class like this). Though Journalism is the degree I'm shooting for the class has been bittersweet mostly for the feature story we have to do (though it's not directly related to what I aim to do for a career). American History started off horribly with it being the first class I was failing since second grade (yeah...professor isn't exactly selfless or logical-60-70+ question study guides with branching questions on each one for 22 question quizzes), though I managed to pull of a 95 on our most recent so if I can keep that up and do well on our in-class essay I should pass it. Life Science has been a tease since our lowest exam grade is dropped and I've got a 72 and two 78's (back-to-back). I hate how one question kept me from a B twice in a row.
Then there's my Web Site Development class which might just be the most uneven class I've taken. One class I feel stressed and behind and the next is as if I'm doing perfectly fine. What sucks though is that my mother payed for the software (Adobe Creative Suite) which was $200 but since the trial for Fireworks wouldn't install since I had Firefox running I can't install it to our laptop (Dreamweaver came on fine though). We keep talking about getting another laptop but when we actually look it becomes a different scenario.
Fortunately, I've had experience with Dreamweaver, Photoshop and (to a lesser extent) Fireworks throughout high school (good times) so I still have the fundamentals. Though I've made some sites in the past I never got any published but since this has been emphasized continually by our professor mine should at least be updated weekly from now on. Since I love the music, it's on metal and, as of now, I've only got one semi-complete page and another that I'll need to update to come close to the home page (using blank template which is why it has a random bunch of text yet to be filled in). Here's the home page if you're interested:

Oh, and if you're like me and you use Firefox, I am aware of the text on top of the banner (doesn't show up in IE though). If you're experienced with Dreamweaver and know how to get rid of this without screwing up the rest of the site I'd very much appreciate it if you could point me in the right direction.
But yeah, just though I'd bring this to your attention in case you might be curious. The site isn't much now and though I don't think it'll be nearly as good as some other productions it's something.
