First Week!

Hi Guys!

I moved into the Residence here in Regina on Monday.
First impression wasn't great... as you know I'm a clean freak.
OCD perhaps! When I first moved in the place was a mess with garbage and dirty dishes everywhere! They had turtles which was cool but they smell a little. The suite is split between me and 5 other girls, most of them are from China and are here for school. Yesterday I cleaned the entire place to needless to say I feel more at home now haha! It's been snowing here since I arrived so I'm very jealous of all you BC folks!

First day of practicum was very over whelming! They don't use anything that we've been using for the past two years so it's taken a while to adjust but I've got the hang of it now! Instead of DW im now using a program called Coda. Within the first hour of being here I had one of the developers request that I write out a PHP script to pull things from one database to the new database for a CMS they had created....... I was clueless. I don't know enough PHP to write it out of no where so he sat and helped me but I felt like I knew nothing. Since that episode I've been given work thats in my comfort zone. Nothing too interesting yet. I like it here the people are all very nice and the office is very nice as well. Today is bring your cat to work day haha. They have a very flexible schedule where you can come in basically whenever you want to as long as you get in 7.5 hrs a day. So start at 7 am, 9 am or 10! Whenever! I haven't taken advantage of that yet though. Also they get paid to drink beer on fridays.. Noooot bad!

Hope to hear about everyone elses week!
