I'm using this blog only off and on. Google certainly does have their shit together, but ~ I'm currently using Tumblr ( http://www.tumblr.com/blog/kelorii ) for a more up-to-date blog. However, I think that this one may be more of a "when I remember" thing =^_^=

Just an update on my current state of my project ~ the intro isn't finished, but the groundwork for it is (meaning, I haven't written it, but I've done pretty much what I can for the backing information behind it). I'm just now learning to program ~ and my brain is melting! I am learning PHP, JQuery, Java, and HTML 4/5. Of course, there will be other stuff in there (such as MySQL). Why? To create the prototype.

I'm sure I mentioned that in the past. But I think that a little refresh can't hurt!

I'm finding the challenge a great deal of fun and I'm learning soooo much! It's exciting! I'm going to be applying to several universities in Japan and also one of the major universities (BCLU) in Beijing. Both Japan and China offer full scholarship for Ph.D. students ~ of COURSE it is highly competitive! Worth the shot though, right? What's the worst that can happen ~ they say NO. Then I'm right where I am now, and not the worse for wear, but if they say YES... I'll finally be able to relax and totally focus on my project!

One day... I sincerely hope that I can give this project to the world... free access to educational information around the world... sure, you don't have a teacher, you can't ask questions about your projects, there's not "classroom" (even online)... but the INFORMATION is there... how the class is taught, what's used, and so on... parents and students can look to the place they're going to move and find the information they need to determine which school is best for them.

Anyways... if this "utopian" project works ~ I'll be happy for having given something to the world.
