Blog post
Edit: Damn that my blog is getting chopped every time. Re-writing...

Well, things are looking rather bright for me right now, and i am going to explain why in this blog...

I have been totally set on going a specific school for nearly two years now. Yesterday, the selection was - what i am going to spend the upcoming three years studying. Well, guess what - last weekend, i changed my mind =D

John Bauer is a school in Gavle, around five miles from the town i live in. John Bauer is mainly a school focusing on IT, and that's what i visited two days ago. John Bauer isn't such a big school - the IT and Media programs combined students counts to around 350 - a pretty small school compared to the others in the city. I hav already visited John Bauer once, but this visit convinced me. After the head master had said what he wanted to say and the students had told us a little about the IT-program (well, actually wuite a lot - half of it was stuff that the headmaster already had told us about), were we free to wander around the school on our own, speaking to students and watching their work. It was really interesting, but the best of part of the whole visit was to talk to a teacher in programming. We spoke for nearly 40 minutes about the school, the languages they teach, everything at the school regarding programming.

By the way, did i mention that all the new students recives a shiny new laptop with all the state of the art software on it? Latest editions of Visual Studio, Photoshop, InDesign, Flash, etcetera... if you would like to add a software to the computer, you simply told then what you'd want and they'll fix it. You don't just use the computer at school either, and when you have graduated, the computer is all yours ;)

Yeah, so that's where i am going to spend a lot of my time to upcoming three years - and i feel really good about it. The scool is great, as are the teachers i had the time to meet while i was there.

I have almost only worked on my website today. I hav been creating, evavluating and throwing away designs for around two weeks now - and i am still not pleased. Well, i am just going to keep on designing until i find something i really like. Anyway, this is the design i am currently working on:

It feels kind of dull, probably ditch that one as well - it's not like i don't have time to :)

Speaking of time, tomorrow is the big day, when i'll finally buy TGB. I am really excited about starting to learn how to use it, i'm sure i will have a lot of fun with it.

And since no blog is complete without an image...
