End of year ramblings about trees, buildings, economy, and education

I love architecture and trees, in that order . I have less than even a surface knowledge about the architects and the species of trees but love both these things none the less.

**

My favorite type of tree is called Melaleuca linariifolia also known as Snow in Summer, took me a long time to find out the name of the tree even though I would see them all over San Francisco.

**
The tree is originally from Australia.

I suppose the economy is getting better, but still a really tough grind for me here in Northern California.

I did terrible at my SQL class this last semester, I am thinking about taking class again or maybe taking PHP along with an English class.
