I'd kind of forgotten about this, haha … so here's an update. I'm now a first-year IT student in the second semester. Things got too busy. I've just finished my midterm exams for this semester and I'd say I did OK , not great, but not terrible. I've learnt C++ and Visual Basic, as well as how to create a basic website. Still single. Life's a bit rough at the moment, but I'm managing.
