brain-dead

This coming Sunday would be my last session for my basic web developing class. Finally. I wanted to study this for one reason. It has been postponed for around 2 months, and I almost did not enroll. It was my first time to study again in 5 years, and it was different—it was harder. When I was a kid, I memorized the preamble in less than an hour. Memorizing the periodic table element (names and symbols only) was not so hard, and I love memorizing Philippine geographic names. Five years ago, while working for an online travel company, ask me about all hotels or all airports (including their 3-letter codes) in the US and I can tell them all. But now, I could not tell which codes are for html and which are for CSS. After every class, it seemed to slip my mind right away! I’m doomed. Last Sunday, 80% of my time was spent surfing the net while in class. There’s no point listening. I could not follow the lesson (JavaScript) anyway. I will try to self-study, but I’m not hoping much that I can grasp the concept. I cannot figure those if–then–else constructions. To top it all, I have to submit a 4-page web site, and I have NO idea what to do, or if I can do it. Suggestions please. My brain cells are all dead.
