Apathy and me

For some reason, I'm feeling extremely apathetic today (10/15). I have no clue why. I had a great time this weekend at ACL, I expected to feel really excited and not in a bad mood this week. Apparently not though. Speaking of apathy, I think I'm going to drop my Tetris project. I'm approaching the design of the code completely wrong. one example: I have a method that will randomly select a block and then instantiate a new version of that block. Of course, when I call that method, it will only draw one block and then be done. If I try to use a boolean to trigger the method, then it will only draw a block as long as that trigger is true. After trying to use a double boolean setup, I found that no matter how I try it, if the trigger to make the method run is ever false, then it won't run. Oh well, maybe I'm just tired. I don't really want to complete this though. Time for another choice: whether I should scratch this Tetris and start anew; keep working with this Tetris and basically reform the whole program; or drop Tetris entirely and find something else to pursue with my time in this class. hmm.
