More Python and strings and more confusion

The week after spring break feels a little melancholic, not because school has started again but because this week was filled with tests. The ACT is in two weeks, and I will be taking it at Lanier again due to the spaces at LBJ being filled up. How is that possible? LASA and LBJ do not have a lot of people, then why was it filled up already? That frustrates me greatly, but I guess that is fine seeing as I did the SAT at Lanier as well. Yet, I can also tolerate this week because this weekend I practically have NO HW!!! That makes me glad, because frankly a weekend should be hw free. I also realized that it is getting closer to AP tests in May. Sigh, more prep is going to be assigned, I can foresee it. And going off in another tangent, finding a free version of Monopoly online is so hard to find. I need to get a smartphone that can play apps. Now back on track, this week in computer programming was slightly more difficult due to the bulk of the content that we needed to learn. That and I have an ability to utilize the slides unless I look over it several times. Oh and I'm also hoping that Mr. Stevens can somehow circle the answers to his comparison examples cause I sometimes forget the answer. Well circle or highlight the answer after he explains it to the class in the lecture of course. Strings are a little annoying but it is sort of do-able. Although I still have difficulty with it, sigh. I haven't even gotten through the pre-lab yet so I haven't started lab08 for lists. Overall, it looks like strings although the brackets are now used to enclose elements inside them instead of indexing. Sigh and another thing, I swear I thought indexing was accessing a single character in a string, apparently that is slicing. I'm getting stuff mixed up already. Well at least the week ended and I have no hw, everybody wins.
