blah
Wondering if it was worth it. I went to an Internet Marketing seminar. It was more of a preview for us to pay $20 for an all day seminar later on. I figured why not. I'm going to go to that, too. It's after classes are over, so I'm not going to miss anything by staying there until 6:30 like they're projecting. Plus, they're offering lunch and breakfast. {{shrugs}}

2nd place?
I blanked during the contest yesterday. Stupid file reading. That's always something I mess up on. I was only a few steps away, but there was a time limit. So, he gave me 2nd place.

I had forgotten what about Prof Grik bothered me. It's that he talks down to people who don't know everything he does. Now, he's a very good programmer and he uses it all the time. I haven't programmed in VB since a year ago. I'm a bit rusty, naturally. Plus, I'm a beginner in the field. On top of that, I've got C on the brain for this class.

I'm sure you can figure out how irked I was when I left.

anyway
John S called and we're going to see X-Men 2 tomorrow night. Saturday, Cathy and Nick invited me to dinner with one of Nick's friends. They're "not setting me up". {{sigh}} Sometimes I wonder... LOL. So far, they've "not set me up" me with like three people. All situations have pretty much bombed, in my opinion. Sometimes I wonder if I'm too picky, but... {{shrugs}} I don't want to just settle because I'll be less happy later.

push/pop
We worked on push and pop functions in C. I feel smart. I figured it out. ^^;; LOL. I've always disliked stacks and pushing/popping them. But, by writing our own push/pop functions, I think I'm getting it a bit better than just using a library function that was available from the program already.

We used push and pop in Assembler at SCCC, but they were built in functions, surprisingly enough. Now, I'm writing for a higher level language and we have to write those functions ourselves. Ah... I love irony sometimes.

commence pouting
Briarcliffe either blocked Blogger earlier, or Blogger had a brain fart. I couldn't access it from class until just before we left.

emergency
Our teacher in Net Lab & Troubleshooting had an emergency and had to leave early. So I got home really early tonight. It was a nice change, but with a bad reason. Apparently his daughter was really sick today and his wife took her to the hospital. Or, at least, she wanted to. However, the professor had to go get them because his car died on them and he had his wife's car tonight. I hate when stuff like that happens. I hope she's alright.
