What is the point of procrastination? I have had most all of this weekend completely free of distractions and things to do, yet I still decide to not do most of my school work till today. The day of rest. Why do people procrastinate? Are they just used to being forced to do stuff and as such force themselves to work by having the deadline come close? I could have done all my work yesterday and have Saturday to do absolutely nothing, yet I decided the opposite. Is the act of procrastinating something that I do to alleviate the pressure of boredom? I want to say that's too far-fetched to be plausible, but it's starting to make sense as I keep thinking about it. Oh well. Just four more abysmal days and then I have a month of not knowing what to do. Don't get me wrong, I love the break and the holidays, but school adds a sort of structure to my days that makes it easier to believe that the days on the calendar are moving forward. When I wake up into a day with absolutely nothing that I have to do, I feel almost lost. I don't plan out my days, but I like to have an idea of what I'll be doing (On a side note, I also turn into a lost puppy when people aren't somewhere exactly on time/are difficult to get into contact with).
It could just be OCD, but life is more fun than that

ANOTHER BLOG POST
I WAS CHECKING GRADESPEED AND NOTICED THAT THERE IS A BLOG POST GRADE SCHEDULED FOR THE 2ND OF DECEMBER. I AM TYPING THIS ON THE 10TH OF DECEMBER. As finals approach, I'm learning more and more about seniors. They seem to do nothing but joke and laugh at doing work. They just spent nearly ten minutes trying to change the screen from being "high contrast" to displaying the regular colors. Ten. Minutes. That's a total exaggeration, but last class they were doing the same thing. What project are they even working on? It seems all the work they do to their tic-tac-toe game is add in SUB-PAR-QUALITY code and then removing it after realizing that it completely breaks what they had somehow managed to piece together already. I don't even want to know what problem they're trying to confront right now, but apparently making a matrix wouldn't help them any more than a regular array. "they were going over electricity...mr.davis?" This Pseudo-English they speak makes no sense, it's as if they're intentionally conversing in a dialect so foreign that they reinforce the stereotypes their ethnicity carries.
I'm just shack-a-lackin', I can't think of anything to talk about this time. Thinking about it, this has been a fairly eventful weekend, but it'd wouldn't be fun to reflect about. oh well.

Making Progress
A large Bassett hound taking a bath with a rubber ducky on it's back. It was souper cute. He was standing in the bathtub, facing West, staring into the majestic beam of sunlight that made it obvious that this picture was intended to invoke a spiritual meaning into the reader. The first time this angel's silent lips caressed my eyes... I was awe struck. It was truly magnificent. By the time my agape jaw finally shut, the clock had traversed twenty minutes into the future. Utterly astonishing. Oh yeah and the proxy I was using for my online course decided to stop working, so I'm fairly screwed until I can find another proxy/alternate method to watch the youtube videos. What. A. Shame. Well I'm extremely tired and not in a very good mood, so this blog post ends now.

blog post? more like, final blog post
Well, this has been a fun year ^_^
I had a pretty fun time learning all about Java, but I must say it was more fun learning XNA and C#, because you could see what you were creating in a graphical manner instead of just having a number be printed out in a box. I really want to get to the part where I say what I really liked and what I didn't like, but I suppose I should make this first paragraph a tad longer. LOL screw that, time to go onto my analysis and what not.
What I didn't like about this course:
First off, I thought it was interesting, but some subjects were rushed and parts of Java that we were expected to understand weren't explained (example: the reason to add "static" or "void" didn't become apparent until later in the course). This is more of a suggestion, but could we do more projects that involve a graphical part to it? (Sperpinksy's triangle, Space Invaders...) Those were really fun because we got to watch our code affect the final outcome instead of just get errors until the right number came out. The work sheets were extremely easy except for when it came to the free response, in which it felt completely foreign to write out the code instead of type it. I'm sure this isn't a problem for everyone, but it was tough getting used to for quite a while. I'm not too sure what else I can say about what I didn't like about this course right now, so I'm going to go onto what I did like about it
What I did like about this course:
I liked the stacking effect. When we learned one topic, it almost always had something to do with or was able to be used with the previous topics that we learned fairly fluently. I enjoyed not having a strict class schedule, instead all we did was go at our own pace as long as we got the work done.

The Cheating Android
Oh boy, time to gripe about what I'm going to be doing today even though I already told you! I need something to talk about. I guess I'll talk about the wrestling duel tonight. We will totally win and I am not saying the outcome of this duel from the point of view of the future. I swear. I'm a tad worried that I'm gonna lose (I didn't).
New subject, because I don't want to talk about wrestling right now. The viscosity of water. What if water were more viscous? How would it affect the world around us if it suddenly changed? What if it had always been more viscous? If all the water in the world suddenly became more viscous, I doubt our bodies would be able to function long enough for us to notice a difference and marvel in the scientific anomaly. But, what if life evolved around sludge-like water? I feel it would be extremely similar, but life would be more centered around the necessity for water because it would be more difficult to transport and work with.
