Practice ACT and Mediocrity

There are no other words to describe this week other than perfunctory and somewhat progressive. This week may have had only 4 school days, but the anxiety built up during the 4 day weekend crossed over and made it feel like this week was more than 4 days. The only highlights of my life during this week was getting Adobe Premiere Pro for video editing, watching animation shorts of Vimeo, some of which are very professional and exceptional, inching closer to the finish line in Project 2 and the practice ACT. Other than that, this week is a filler that needs more action sequences like in Die Hard or even Die Hard 2. It amazes me that the film Die Hard actually managed to spawn a film series. So about computer programming, Project 2 is actually harder than I thought it would be, especially building the bars. Most of my difficulty was in this part of the project. I wish there were more examples of the projects though. It would really help me, or not depends on whether I'm capable of even thinking next week. And that's it for this week.

4th 6 weeks is finally over....

Another 12 weeks of school left to go and then it is another 6 weeks of ACC in the summer. My enthusiasm for life has not disappeared completed. I made nearly straight A's, except for an 89 in English, but then again English is always the class that is the wild card.  Mainly because my writing talent fluctuates depending on my level of nervousness. Argh, I do not want to go to school anymore. However, next year is going to be better because I plan to have as much off periods and teacher aides as my classes. Now on the subject of computer programming, I am a little mad that computer programming will have tri credit, on a  relationship with UT and ACC, NEXT YEAR. I wonder if I will receive credit as well. Now that I'm on project 2, I am starting to have the hang of Python, but some parts are hard to interpret like what to put in the lines following the for or while loop. I am not that creative of a person which means I lack ways to approach a problem. However, if I am given hints along the way, or examples, then of course I can accomplish the goal but that is to be expected. Frankly, I am glad we have a four day weekend to unwind from school and the six weeks because I am so close to losing it. Well, that's all for this week, I hope next week is better.

Ugh unlucky week

This week has been full of misses and no homeruns. I'm sort of like a baseball player who has the yips and can't seem to get out of a rut. However, I guess the only that was good is that I finally bought Adobe CS5.5 for a whopping $400 thanks to the student and teacher package.  Now I can make cartoons again, although they are really bad and amateurish. In any case, I am hoping that the next week won't be so bad because in all truth, I'm not prepared for any of my classes. The amount of homework is staggering and it has been building up. To be frank, I am stressed out and so nervous. Other than that, in computer programming I am probably going to fail that quiz because I do not think I will do so well. Python is going to be a wild card for me. I have not finished lab 5 yet because it is surprisingly very hard. I have not started the project yet either so it is going to end badly for me either way. I believe the phrase is that I'm damned if I do and damned if I don't. The world can be so cruel sometimes. Well I've got to put in some effort, and hope it turns out for the best. That's all for this week, sigh.

Indepth with python

Sigh, I wonder how many days of school are left? I am already thinking about summer and how it is going to suck because my mother is forcing me to go back to Vietnam to meet relatives. I constantly tell her that I do not want to go because I want to start ACC classes early to get US Government and Macro-economics out of the way for senior year. All I know is that we have 4 months left until junior year is over and I can't wait. Now onto python, I am surprised that I finished the Python project on time.  This is probably because Sam helped me out. I definitely learn better in a group than by myself. I would be down in the dumps if I didn't have some help.Well other than that, I am finally getting the hang of python thanks to codingbat but even I have trouble now then again. Mainly because there is some things that we have not gone through yet, but it's fine. Sort of. I just need to finish 2 more on the warm up page and 4 other stuff to get the extra credit. I'm almost there, but not really.
