For the past few months, starting at around June 2008, I have taken a great interest in the python programming language. As I have practiced using it, from writing various small scripts to large applications to compete with existing similar applications to full featured web sites/applications using the django framework, I have thoroughly enjoyed solving various problems and learning more efficient methods for doing various tasks. Programming has even gotten in the way of school. Compared to the complex problems, or situations, that I deal with daily, school seems boring even though some subjects challenge me in different ways. Biology, for example, challenges me because it requires memorization, whereas I can “memorize” programming syntax concepts by doing, possibly meaning that I am a kinesthetic learner.
Recently, I have come up with, in my opinion, great ideas for programs/servers which I could put on my nonexistant CV. The promising of which is a website that I could call modernscholar(.org), a free service for schools, teacher, and students to better organize the classroom resources by providing something like Blackboard but free and prettier 
. It seems promising to me because if I can get people to use the site by the end of the summer before senior year, then it would look good for colleges and might make up for my poor grades due to illnesses throughout the past three years. It isn’t school, though, that has been preventing me from persuing my programming ventures; it is that I am helping with something that hardly helps me — P2P shit. The problem with helping with that is that it is usually illegal, so I cannot put my name on it. The benefits are pretty minimal for now, but I guess it would be worth if it if I could get any movie whenever I wanted…
