And so another week goes by...
Except this week, I had the stupid SAT on saturday. It was the most boring and longest test I ever had. It amazes me that I got through those 4 hours. Now, I need to take the ACT in the near future which means that my weekend for that week is going to be ruined then. There goes my social life, haha I forgot I do not have one. However, I am glad that SOPA and PIPA are stalled for now. I do not know what I would do if those passed through Congress other than screaming frantically about pictures to use for projects. Curse you politicians, you've restricted my right to drink alcohol until I"m 21 and my driving rights. But I will not allow you to take my freedom of speech. Oh dear god, I hope the government isn't reading this, I take it all back, I didn't mean it. Well now on the topic of Computer Programming, I find it hard to write and run code because of simple mistakes. I mistook a 0 for an O. How stupid is that? Now all I need to do is finish that Angry Bird Project, which will probably take me a long time because I cannot seem to trust my own actions when writing code. One day, Python, I will conquer you and force you to write a program that creates pictures of dogs and changes them into transmuted potatoes. Oh wait, that's photoshop, my mistake. And I am now done venting about my abilities. That is enough for this week, and I hope the next week will be better.

Short Week but so many B days
For once in my life, I genuinely believed that a 4 day week is long. B days are always the bane of my existence, well actually school is the bane of my existence. Well in any case, I am burned out already and school seems so long or at least this year/semester. I want to cry because the SAT is on Jan 28th which means that next week is going to be the worst week of my life. That and ACC sign up is on Jan 30th. And now about Python, I need to be really careful to realize that // makes an integer and / makes a floating number. That is why I missed questions. On the quiz, I also forgot that you can put several arguments in a single line. foolish me. But now that we are going to have a quiz over input, eval, more calculations next class, my life has never seemed so hard. At times Python is confusing because I don't know the structure very well and I"m also confused on what to do on the labs sometimes. I am very glad that Sam helps me though, if not for him I would be lagging behind. I don't want to be behind, such a thing scares me the most. Hopefully the 30 min review will help me out a bit...and hopefully enough to get me by in this class. Curse my lack of comprehension. I'm still confused about the RETURN statement, I believe it's to get out of the function and returns with a value? I need to look at the slide again.... And that's it for this week.

First blog post of Spring Semester
This year is starting off really slowly, and I really want this year to end now. My enthusiasm and eagerness sort of died after winter break. But enough with my banter, Python does not seem similar to Jeroo at all or at least to me. Python seems to use different words and commands. I also still don't know what is the difference between Java and Python. Lately it would seem that Stats and French are taking up most of my time and I can't even seem to do other things. I should've dropped both of these classes. That way I can at least glimpse of tutorials of programming. Eh whatever, I still have the SAT coming up so I can't even do that. Argh I hate my life...sad face. And it would seem that like I digressed again, so after this week of learning about Python and its basics. I am proud to say that I am somewhat mediocre at the language. Okay make that bad- "mediocre-ish" or just plain awful. At least I"m trying to learn, that's what counts.
