Will probably meet with my class group tonight again. This time I'll go home for supper first, though. It'll give me a little time with the kiddies, anyway.

I've taken some initial steps in planning my capstone project. Am thinking about the GUI elements of the program, which will be the bulk of the program. I've never done much GUI work in Java, so it will be a new experience, and a learning curve. There's a fair amount of research to be done in how to use JAI, Swing, all that stuff, and learning the tricks such as spinning off intensive ops into their own threads, such as with SwingWorker.

Last night was the last session of swimming lessons. John will probably be an eel again, and Hanna will be a pike. In John's report card, she said he needs to listen to instructions better. Yeah, that's true. On Hanna's card, she said Hanna needs to develop more confidence. Perhaps Hanna was a little shy in the group, cuz when we swim on our own, she dives into the water with no hesitation.

We had a new padlock to use on the locker, and John was eager to try it out, but we can't find it. I wonder if John was playing with it and wandered off with it. He's not the best at remembering where he leaves things. Sometims he does, but not always. Hanna is a little more sharp at recalling where things are.
