This is the first time I have ever worked up to the minute it was due on a CS project. I knew I had to add comments, but then I looked at the specs and realized I was doing some stuff wrong, so I hastily added things, and comments, and when all was done I hade about 300 error messages while compiling. Not only did this scare the crap out of me, the line it said it was having problems with, I saw no error, so I worked back from that point. Up in my function prototypes, I had for gotten a ";" at the end of one and 13 lines down it finally realized there was a problem. This took care of about 292 of these error messages, the rest were simple stuff like a ";" after a function declaration and a forgotten addition to one prototype. Then come the run time errors. List reads in fine, prints data out fine, sort goes screwy. me looks at code, says "Ahh, I see, I changed this here, but forgot to somewhere else" changes it. Sort now seg faults, me looks at code again. And sees nothing, adds list, prints list, segfaults on printed list. Hmm, i then see another place I forgot to change that one thing I forgot to change before. Fix it. yay it works. then notice when adding a tag to an mp3, i don't check the bounds on the genre type, fix this, turn in project at 11:59 pm (due no later than 11:59pm). I is lucky, i suppose. Only one known problem yet. It shows the main menu twice if too many chars are entered on one of the add tag items. No idea why, but it don't matter no more.

In other news: I need to pay more attention in French class and not show up late. Last Friday and Tuesday, I figured there was no class because no one was there when I showed up. Tues freaked me out a little, so I sent a letter to my teach. She said she told us in class several times and even wrote it on the board the day of the mid-term that we were changing rooms to SC G40 and G64 -- I have no idea why we are doing this.

Nearing the end of another somewhat uneventfull week. I had my FR202 mid-term this morning. I think I did pretty good except for the fact that I didn't finish the last page. I guess I spent too much time on the mini-composition, but hopefully it will be good enough to garner some of the 3 possible bonus points.

I also figured out how to check my ECON grades at katalyst or whatever. So far, 22/25 on first quiz and 52/60 on first mid-term which averages to a high B assuming no curvage.

Tomorrow is the dreaded CS182 mid-term, this afternoon and evening I plan on studying, and if all goes well, those plans will come to fruition and I will be fully prepared for the five question test.

I got to go skiing today (Satuday) up in Michigan. Went to Swiss Valley with Phil, a guy from where his dad work's and that guy's wife. We were supposed to go with the teens, but because of the anticipated snowfall, that was postponed and we went with out them. It was a lot of fun. When racing down the hill (who wants to go slow weaving back and forth anyways? I don't but I had to dodge several people like this, especially the snow-boarders), I always beat Phil even though I started behind him. Surely it has nothing to do with the fact that he weighs about 60 lbs less than me. It's just that he doesn't know how to ski straight down a hill very fast, ou quelque chose comme ça.

The GBA we were selling went for $61, so about a $10 - (e-bay + paypal) profit.

Just got done taking my ECON251 midterm. It was actually quite easy; this being said after approximately 7 minutes of out of class studying. I now have to write a 250 - 275 word french paper for tomorrow, of which I have yet to start, and the CS182 homework, which of what I've seen actually corresponds to what we've been learning in class.

I went over to my sister's today. We've been trying to make money by selling stuff on eBay. Have yet to be successful, but recently purchased 70 new DVDs for 98 bucks, hopefully they can bring in some sort of profit. Since we haven't recieved them yet, I'm not sure what we'll get or if anyone has every heard of any of them. But hey, for a buck forty each, it's gotta be a good deal. Hopefully.

There was an error in grading the last problem, I now have a 96 on the exam. As of now, I have the only score above 90, but there may be others who had an 89 who's tests were misgraded and haven't gone to get it re-checked yet.
