Ahem. I just turned in the final project for programming. The accursed group project is over.
You don't want to hear about my day. It was quite boring.

I did have a random question pop out of my overtaxed mind.
"Which is philosophically superior, alphabetization or reverse aphabetization?"
I shall have to write a short piece with two character debating it.

My code does not work.
I do not like converting from Native C++ to Managed C++. It makes me not be able to count on things I used to count on.
In other news, I was debugging in the same room as the anime club. It looked seriously interesting. I think that if I were exposed to more anime I'd become an anime freak. How odd.

I did worse on that final than any test I've had in Geography. However, since I only have to make a 60 to get an A, I'm fine with it. My seat was taken, so I sat in the middle of the class. The Professor remarked upon it. I wish I didn't make myself noticeable all the time.
After that, me and my group worked on our project some more. The professor came up to us and looked at our code. Then he asked us why we were doing such and thus. And I explained. And he said why. And I explained more. And he said why. And I explained some more. And he said, here, this way would be easier and wrote us a few code snippets.
His way was easier. And better. And more efficient. *laughs* So we implemented it. There are still some bugs to work out of it, but we're doing another round of debugging tommorrow.
Nothing much else happened today. I'm tired. I have to work on my independent study though. I shall be awake awhile.

Okay, today, I woke up. This was a strange event as I usually leap out of bed still half-asleep and aren't awake until I sit down for my first class. Then I realize I forgot to put pants on. Then I realize that I sleep in them anyways, so it's all good.
In class today we went over a problem for extra credit. It was pathetically easy and she did it on the board. It gave us a letter grade and a half on the test added. That will put me at about 105 or thereabouts. Heh, I like Calculus. Maths without numbers are much more manageable.
After that I worked on my independent study and talked to Myrh about Kenshin. Kenshin gets on my nerves. A lot. But that's not anything new.
We got some more of the program's bugs out. Seems I made a big mistake when we were converting and that screwed some things up.
I love messing with people's minds. Harisar from VI was just on and I played the grandest game of mental double guessing on him since ... I dunno when. It was quite fun. But he lost, unfortunately. He was beaten before he started, actually. It's a cruel game I play.

Okay, so, today. What did I do?
Firstly, I woke up to the sound of my brother playing video games. It was eight something in the morning. Eight something in the morning! He was playing Tribes. It's a grand old game, granted, but ... eight something in the morning! Oh, well, I had to be up by nine at least to go to...
Geography. The next stop of my day's journey. I went to the class, having missed all of last week. And I flat-out told him I had no excuse. In front of the whole class. Hah. He was a little disappointed (I think he thinks I like the class), but at least I was honest. I detest Geography. I loathe Geography. Geography is a thing out of Astfgl's Hell. We were reviewing for the final though, so I couldn't miss.
The next class was Advanced C++. I lurves Advanced C++. And not just 'cause the teacher tells me to shut up 'cause I'm a know-it-all ass. It's because I like to program. I love to sit there and punch in code and see that after I've done all that punching that it's all wrong. Because then I get to debug it. Debugging is my forte. That sounded weird, but it's true. Anyways, we learned about overloading operators in Managed C++, which we needed to know for the final project.
From there I went home. I sang in the car when I went home. I generally always sing in the car when I'm alone. Heh, sang the signs I saw... Yes. I'm weird.
I started the test run of "Achoo's Notes" on VI. That I think will be cool. I think it will also make the Aide-de-camp a position that actually does something. Cruel, aren't I?
From then it was back to school to help a friend finish up our last Maths Lab for the year. It was so easy that we sat there and worked on debugging our project. We got it to compile finally. *laughs evilly* No one else had reached that point. The project is due on Sunday. Muaha.
Nothing more really to report, except that the punishment is taking effect. I suppose I'll have to live with it. *Sighs*

Well, today I woke up. And then went back to sleep. I skipped Geography. It's the most boringestest class I have. I hates it. It is not my precious. Hence, I skipped it.
So I went in for Advanced C++, my favoritestest class. It was fun. We learned more about the Microsoft extensions to C++. And what we have to pay to use them. I don't know if I like the Microsoft extensions as much as I like Native C++, but you live and you learn.
Hehe, here's where the bit about "Thou Shalt Not Speak" comes in. See, I'm quite good with C++ and suchlike. And I have a good memory. And I speak up in class. Therefore, I do a lot of talking during the lecture whenever he asks a question. Finally, I answer a question and the professor looks at me and just mouths, "Can you shut up? Please?" I nod and laugh...
Then I went to my friend's apartment and we had lunch. And I sat aroung watching Tom and Jerry. I do not like watching mindless cartoons. It just doesn' work for me. Not amusing, not relaxing. Just terrifically boring.
From there I went to lab. We got to new Calculus labs, one for actual use and one for a bonus. The actual one was quite easy.
After that I hung around in the lab, helped my friend tutor a bit and listened to a girl talk about her relationship problems. I do a lot worse advising people face to face. In fact, I tend not to do it. I just think my advice, which is probably not the best approach.
Then me and my friend were supposed to code for the final project. However, our third group member didn't show. I put together my stuff and the stuff the professor had given us in class and made it compile. With a hammer. Muahahahaha. Die evil compiler. Die! Die! Die!
Ahem. Anyways, I find myself doing this a lot. Namely, getting my stuff done and nobody else having it done. And since we get a group grade, it worries me. Group projects are not a thing I like, at least when one of the members I don't see enough to bully into doing his work. And the other one just didn't do it, which really quite irks me.
I broke down and went to Borders at the mall. I was going into new book withdrawal, so I picked up Carpe Jugulum and The Once and Future King. My sister's reading CJ and I'm reading TOaFK. It's amusing, to say the least.
Nothing really philosophical at the moment....

Many things have happened since the fire post, but I'll try to take them in a sort of chronological order.
That Sunday I slept in quite late, I felt I deserved it. After that, I went inside and wandered around, checking the damage and whatnot. The most widely dispersed damage had to be the smell. Next after that had to be the soot. Mom told us the fire insurance guy was coming by to measure the house and whatnot so he could see how much we get. We had to clean up our rooms... bleh.
That night I was up 'till about 4 cleaning. I don't really clean that well. My cleaning is an advanced form of "If I don't need/want it, throw it away." The advanced bit is that I move everything else around. I think I threw away three trash bags worth of stuff. Heh, well, I didn't spend all that time cleaning. A lot of it I spent chatting to people...
The next morning I woke up about tennish because I still had a bit to finish. I finished it, then realized, I still needed to type up my Math Labs before I went to class. I rushed through that, printed them out and rocketed to class. We had lecture then finished the test we had started on Friday. Odd, I know. She's giving the students lots of chances... Most of 'em don't deserve it...
The next day (today) I decided to skip Geography. I went to Advanced C++ though, of course. It was pretty interesting, but the classroom was hot as Hades. Me and my group met later that day to discuss the final project. It went well, methinks.
And that brings us up to date. No philosophical things or rants today, but I feel a big one coming on about Kenshin...
Bloody Oranges...

What is important is what happened yesterday and last night and whatnot. Or at least that's what I'm going to put down.
Yesterday, I went to school and we had political discussion in Geography. As I don't have hard-and-fast views politically, I didn't say much. What I thought was funny was how many people were arguing and not listening at all. They didn't care what your opinion was, as long as they said they were right. It was sort of sad.
Moving onto C++, we learned more stuff about the language and using it with Microsoft's extensions. That was interesting. We have to convert our program to that now. It shall be fun. I like programming, hence it will be fun. And since we don't have to rethink the project, it shouldn't be that hard.
Lastly, in Maths Lab, I announced my study thing. There was silence. We reviewed for the test the rest of the time.
I went home, tutored my brother (I do his homeschooling) and then I went back to "teach." My two best friends there showed up, of course. Only one other person did. She dragged a friend in later though.
Observation of the day: When you have an infatuation or crush or are in a relationship, attractive girls are less attractive. How interesting. No wonder the married can manage it... *laughs*

Hem, hem, feel sorta rap-hiphop-y at the moment. Which is kinda odd because I haven't listened to rap/hiphop in a while. Or maybe that's the reason I feel that way. Maybe it's because my mind has a sort of addiction to rap/hiphop and I haven't shot up in a while and my mind in depravation is making up by rapping by itself. Or maybe I'm just weird.*
Now, what's going on today? Because I obviously haven't done anything yet. Except for going to the Little Crazy Person's room and getting a drink. First I have to go to the most boring class of all. Geography. I hate geography. It's so boring. I doodle much in that class.**
Then it's on to Advanced C++, which has to be my favorite class. I lurves it. I learn all kinds of cool stuff in that class. And I have projects that are cool as ... a very cool thing. Too bad they're all group projects. I don't like group projects. I always feel like I end up doing the most work. Drat having the best grasp of everything.
From there, it's to lunch with my friends. Mac and Cheese and Grilled Cheese sandwiches. Should be quite good.
After that, it's off to Math Lab where I make my announcement about the "teaching" session. I'm nervous about that. *Hopes people won't just point and laugh at him*
Vell, that's all I have to say for now, so I shall leave ya now.
*When in doubt, get a bigger hammer. Er, I mean, I'm weird.

I stayed up quite late last night studying that Map Quiz. I went to sleep and set my alarm clock for something like an hour before I had to leave. The alarm clock didn't go off and I woke up with about ten minutes to get ready and go. So I rolled out of bad, gathered up everything and was out the door, reading my notes on the Map as I went. Barely had time to grab an umbrella...
Raced the wind in my truck* to get to school. The wind won. The power was out at the main intersection and I blew through it without thinking. Luckily for me, so was everybody else on my direction, so nothing bad happened. I parked it a couple blocks from campus and walked to Geography, arriving just in time for the Quiz. I'm pretty sure I aced it.
The three interesting things I learned in that class were where the best Marijuana comes from,** where to hide Marijuana if raising it,*** and that broccoli has a nervous system. The poor vegetarian girl in my class cringed at that one...
Then I went on to programming class. We learned about managed types in Microsoft C++. They're really, really cool. I shall like doing them in our next project with them.
Speaking of which, the assignment was made easier because no-one got it done. We only have to turn in our diagrams and our algorithms that go with the program. We don't have to turn in any implementation. We have to do the next project with Microsoft C++ managed classes anyways. It'll basically be the implementation we did, only translated.
Hey, I got everything in. Woot, woot. Nothing really more to say for now, but I may post before I go to sleep.

Anyways, the rest of the events of the day go here. After I updated you, I stuck around there, talking to Val for a large part of the time. I updated the Diagrams of the stuff that I had lost before and helped one of the other members of my group tutor a girl in the beginning C++ class. When the last member of our group trailed in, the former still had tutoring to do, so we waited around for a bit. Finally, we got down to business.
So, we stuck the documents together and came up with ... 400+ build errors. *Groans* Well, it was nose the grindstone for me, as I'm the best debugger on the team and once again I have the best grasp of the project as a whole. One of the other guys finished up coding his stuff while I debugged and the other worked on another class.
Well, when we got it compiling, we found it had errors. Everyone, and especially me, was so coded out that we called it a night and will finish it tomorrow hopefully.
I also seem to have come down with some sort of cold-ish thing. Stingy eyes, tired as can be (although that may be due to lack of sleep) and a heckuva sneeze. And the first person who says, "Go get some sleep" has to talk with Akof. I've got to study for a Geography test yet and I owe two posts on the Skeered. No rest for the weary, eh?

Actually, I think 'tis a good release of pent-up words. As some people say, everybody's allotted a certain amount of words. Some people who have a lot of words are unfortunately born quiet, like me. So I've gotta release them through the typed word. Heh, random philosophical thought of the day...
And what have I done today, you ask. Well, after my last post, I went to sleep, intending to nap for two hours. The alarm clock didn't go off and I barely had time to get to school to do homework with my buds. So now I'm running on four hours, definitely a bit low for me.
Did the homeworks and then went to class. We had a speech from the teacher asking how she could help us do better and such. Half the class doesn't turn in the homework. Most are probably failing. This she doesn't like. This she doesn't deserve as a teacher. She's very good and the students don't do her justice. I think I do though. She wants to head-hunt me out of Computer Programming and into the Math department. I laugh at this. Too good a coder to leave it, I say...
To list what happened:
Well, I got the coding done that was supposed to happen. And I'm pretty sure I did a good job at it. However, I have not yet got the UML for it done. That's kind of minor though and I can fill it in later.
I didn't get the Calculus problems done, so I'm going to do them after I wake up but before I go into school. They shouldn't be that bad though, except for one of them, and I'm pretty good at Maths.
I got all three of the posts I owed people out of the way. Or I will. I got two of them out, the one's that Ras was prodding me about. Now he can prod other people about posting in the threads. After all, me and he should not be the only ones posting. 'Twould get real old, real fast. And we'd have to auto people. And me hates autoers...
Fourthly, I got to talk to my regretfully-fallen-from-good-friendship friend Michell. She was doing odd. I really don't know how things are going with her. I read into her journal a bit and was ... well ... a bit shaken. Shall definitely be praying for her.
And then I had a long, long talk with Val. *Shakes head* Whoda thunk it? A person I most strongly disliked quite a while ago has gotten into the upper three of the Strongly-Liked People list. This friendship shall indeed bear watching, if only by me in my curiosity about who I am...

Hence, I take it upon myself to inform you what has made my, er, attachment, so happy. He's done with the coding he's supposed to do over the weekend. And he thinks he did a really good job. However, when he comes back, I shall have to remind him that he must finish the UML, do the three Linear Algebra and Differential Equations problems due tommorrow and that he owes posts in three threads in VI.
Personally, I think TGF takes joy in torturing Falar with such things. He's just that kind of sadistic little furry.

I feel much better after those screams...
Explanation: Well, I was working on stuff and I left to take out the trash. Somehow, when I went or came back, I flicked off the computer. And there went my whole latest function. It was big. And nasty. And now it's gone.
Thankfully, it wasn't the FightBattle function which is bigger and required a lot more thinking. Now, nose back against the grindstone, the night is young.

And the, er, really, really, nasty thing is, I can't check to see if any of this is right until everybody else has finished their bits. Not that I'll be done soon enough for it to matter. It looks like I'll be here for a few more hours at the least.
I really, really wanted to get what little I've got ready for the Smelt tonight too. Eh, well, looks like a late night tonight...

Now, if he had only asked me, I could've given him a list.
Shut up. Anyways, I've been working on a group coding project over the weekend. I had to code three classes* for the project. So I coded the one of them and another one. One was pretty small and the other was quite large. The large one was quite boring and tedious too.
Anyways, I decided to check my email and see what the third class I had to program was. So I look at the list and -
Yup, I've made a big mistake. I've coded the entire large class when somebody else was supposed to. And I've only done a third of the stuff I was supposed to when I thought it was two-thirds.
Stabbity-stabbity-stab-stab-stab.
Anyways, now that counts as a large embarrassing mistake. And, just in case, I'm not going to delete my work. I figured out some quite large logical things that needed changing when I was coding it...
He alvayss does zat. Finds ze silver lining. Vish he'd juzt be depressed for once...
Now to check out VI and then to code...
*He leaves it to me to explain. I'll give you the short view. They're large things that do lots of things and hide stuff... Sort of.
