By done I of course mean with school... this semester anyway. I was swamped the whole time, especially the last month. Though a fair amount of it was self inflicted. I opted out of a few of my semester finals, choosing to do projects instead. In my opinion it was the better choice. In case you didn't know, I'm a computer science major, *cough* programmer *cough*. Anyway, projects are the better option because the only real way to learn this stuff is to use it. That and the compliler will find most of your errors, and fortunately mine are mostly syntax.

Play with it, crash your computer a few times, and scream at the compiler for not compiling because you're too stupid to notice that you confused the insertion operator with the extraction operator and the compiler didn't explicitly tell you that was what's wrong. Ah, such is the life of a novice programmer. But I think I've finally found my niche/happy place. For anal retentive, egomaniacal, nerd-boys such as myself it's good stuff.

Also something... unpleasant happend this semester. I actually had a professor up and disappear a couple of weeks before Thanksgiving (Nov. 22 for non-Americans). Gone, no warning, only rumors left in his wake. He was a pretty good guy too. Anyway, they brought in a new guy. This "new" professor was one of those old-school programmer types, we're talking FORTRAN. Spent the whole time talking about literals vs. variables, strings vs. character arrays, and logical vs. bitwise operators. His eyes... so cold, his voice was like white noise, and he smelled of death... that and he was one of those guys who turned out the lights and used Power Point in his lectures. I hate teachers like that. So dull. That wasn't even the worst of it. The new guy had thrown out all the work we had done previously and gave us like a million projects to do. Basically the class went from easy A to tedious in no time flat. I've come to despise Javascript

School wasn't all bad however. Of interest to the majority of you I'm considering the Video Game option of my degree. Basically a Comp/Sci degree with a minor in graphic arts. But it looks hella fun. I'll have to shell out $180 for a liscense to the game engine we're using, it sounds like a lot, but I honestly spent more on my books for calculus.

Things seem to have been busy around here as well. The CGU is still active and what's this!?! Alx is leaving the Soldiers of Wii! Scandalous. I'd throw my name in the hat for leadership save for three personal caveats: I'm busy, haven't posted there for ages, and I don't own a Wii. Anyway, expect to see more of me until the next semester begins.
