Hooplah.Org A Story of Graceful Stumbles

Cooling down to lukewarm

True to form, I have been acting as though I have the maturity of a 5 year old. Over the years I've come to expect it whenever I become angry, upset, or hurt. Like the rest of the human population, I cannot *stand* those feelings, and being as rude and annoying as possible seems to be the only way I've figured out how to deal with it. Like I just cannot contain those crappy feelings in me; having to unleash them out on everyone around me or I'll go insane :P

I'm still utterly furious and very upset by the grade my professor gave me... but I've completed my "kicking and screaming" phase and gone right into the gritting-my-teeth-until-it-hurts round. I've gone over that question roughly 5 times, wracked my brain again and again, and still have not been able to figure out how anyone who was paying attention to what they were doing could possibly have written any psuedocode or flowcharts without realizing that they would never be able to give the client a print chart of their weekly sales when there was absolutely *no* information given on sale figures. If someone hired me for the job, I would have to tell the client that they either needed to collect more data from their sales records, or from that point on start recording the needed data and then get back to me when they could present me with an inventory file that contained the needed information.

The post I made on the class discussion board 12 hours ago stating my issues and thoughts on last weeks assignment still has not gotten any responses. I made a reply to my actual grade as well, asking the professor to explain why my reason for not putting the extra steps was wrong, but he had not responded to me yet, either. I'm tempted to e-mail him directly and challenge him about the answer.

On to lighter news I guess... I did take my Word/Excel midterm earlier today. I got a 93% on it by missing two question, which still gives me the same 94% like I had in the class before. I'm confident that that grade will always stay an A, since I've basically took 2-3 classes relating directly to those programs while in high school. I'm happy I'm doing well in the class, but it's tainted by the fact that if I was doing bad, it would be pathetic considering how much I've been exposed to the material.

My Programming Design class is nothing but being exposed to completely new material... and I'm apparently bombing it.

To keep my mind off of my class woes, I've been working on bringing back my old photolog. This time it'll have it's own semi-independent layout that I'll be able to easily change to match the colors of this site's layout. It'll just give me something else to do when I find myself dieing of boredom. Playing WoW has gotten a little boring for me... from playing a class I don't really care for, on a faction I don't really care for, and from having 0 social interaction with anyone else in game... dunno, just gets lonely and boring after a while. John's been playing alot more, so it's better if he has more uninterruptible play anyway. So, more things to occupy my time is good. I've ran into a small scripting error, but hopefully my support ticket will be answered soon and I can really get to rolling with the photolog.
