where has the time gone?

so I managed to 'pass' my midterm review, now I just have to push for the final. things have been moving along, if slowly. but I have been making progress. Lately, I have been working out the 'subtleties' of the various DBMS. I also have to write some tests so that I know what I've written actually _works_, suffice it to say I don't indulge in TDD.
