Weeell, I took a Java course in college and nearly flunked out. But there was something about it, so I took the same damned course the very next semester out of sheer stubbornness, and...did better, but never really grokked it. So I just figured, "Okay, at age 20, I have finally found something I'm awful at," and moved on. But I'm beginning to think it might have been the course, not me. I gnaw on the tutorials on w3schools whenever I have time, and those are totally grokkable. So. It's something I'd like to try again. But there's that itch, and there's the novel-writing itch, and the one to learn a martial art, and the calligraphy, and the drawing book I got for christmas, and and and....! *g*
