I Tackle the World of Code

That's right. I've started to code. I found a website called Code Academy, which is basically a free online school on how to code. It looks a lot like Khan Academy website-wise, if anyone knows what that is. It has different levels of coding. I took Web Design my sophomore year, but I don't remember a lot of it because I didn't really but it into practice. Anyways, I have found it rather fun. I just started Basic HTML 2 of Web Fundamentals and then I'll probably start Java. I'm really excited, it will be really neat to learn how to do real coding and web design. Yes, I know, I'm a geek. Normal people my age and gender talk about guys, I talk about coding. Whatever. I don't really care. I get really excited when I find something new on the internet that can help me learn different stuff. The world God made is amazing.

Who in a Weekend and a Nerd Girl Problem

I'm super excited for the Doctor Who 50th Anniversary! Like probably every other Whovian, I have bought my tickets to see the Day of the Doctor in the theatre near my house on the 25th. (I love the Doctor, but driving down to Philidelphia on the 23rd for the simulcast was a little much for a 17 year old who can't drive). But now I had a problem. Who was I going with?

Where I live and in my church, I am one of the only two girls who like DW. The other girl is a little too ridiculous for me to enjoy watching it with. And I was NOT going to wait to get a group together at my church to make plans. The tickets would be sold out and that would take forever.

After some consideration, I decided to take along my "adopted" father from church. However, he had absolutely no backround information on the Doctor...he called him Doctor Who. (horrible, right?) I then spent all day Saturday and part of Sunday afternoon watching Doctor Who episodes. Let me tell you, it is really hard to pick episodes to watch to introduce the doctor. Really hard. We ended up starting with Bad Wolf and the Parting of the Ways. Bad choice. It was really hard to explain Bad Wolf and regeneration, but I felt that it was necessary. We watched Midnight as well. I forgot how tense that episode was, but it was really a characteristic episode of the show.

We watched some others and ended with Nightmare in Silver. Not really the best of the cybermen, but I liked the episode. All I have to watch to be caught up now is the Name of the Doctor. I think I confused my friends but it was fun. Nothing better than spending the weekend watching Who! :)
