Today, I wasn’t feeling particularly well. I’ve got a headache that hurts so bad that - this morning - it felt like I had horns growing out of my forehead. So, I’ve stayed in-house today. I reviewed some CS125 notes, and I’m currently writing a little practice program that will eventually calculate my final mark for Psychology with proper weighting and everything.

So, it comes time to go to the CS 125 Lab scheduled today, but I’m not really up for it. I’ve got Calculus to do, and the lab is due 48 hours after it ends (Saturday at 6:20). So, I figure, I’ll do the timed exercise from my room, and that’ll be that.

So, 4:30 rolls around. I refresh my page. Again, and again, and again. Nothing. No timed exercise appears. So, I give Binkle a ring to see if it is even feasible to do the timed exercise from home, or if they block it somehow. No answer.

I refresh it again, and there it is. Instructions.

It’s a pretty simple task. I program it correctly and go to submit.

My Internet dies. I panic.

This happens from time to time, but usually during peak usage. Not now. Not during a timed, freakin’ exercise.

So, I close everything. Do what I can to magically get the Internet to work again.  Finally, it does.

I’ve got a few minutes left to compile and submit my lovely coding. I paste it into the submit box and click on the Compile Button.

ERROR

Apparently, my output doesn’t match theirs. So, I take a look. Oh. They capitalize a word mid-sentence and I didn’t. So, my dilemma is that I speak English. So, I change my output so that it reads The person is an Elite customer. The person is an Important customer. The person is a Valued customer.

Compile again.

ERROR

Something is still wrong. Oh, I see. They are destroying the language further by not including “an” where it belongs. I change my output again.

The person is a Elite customer. The person is a Important customer. The person is a Valued customer.

Jordan feel big brained now.

Gah!

And now, off to do Calculus. And get some good eatins tonight with Danger and B-Man.
