Following the great Rodes 2 temporary kennel tradition, I’ve taken on an abandoned kitten until we find it a good home. Cute little thing, very snuggly and playful, but I am in no state to be raising a kitten, so I’m searching for some new parents for it (any takers? Kitten, anyone?)
Ugh, this week has been quite overwhelming, with lots going on at once. Yesterday seemed to be the culmination of it, what with working the first road show (Cats) of the year and still trying to get my program for OS done. I was up until 2:30 or so, as the program was due at 3 in the morning, and I did not get it to work properly. It’s quite frustrating, because it was a fairly simple program, and I could have written it in Java with my eyes closed. But, learning C and programming in it at the same time proved to be quite tricky for me in this case (I wasn’t the only one in that boat, though, which is slightly reassuring).
By the time I got home last night I was exhausted, both from unsuccessful coding and the load-out. Perhaps it was just because it was the first road show of the year, but my hands are torn to pieces. My achilles tendon was not happy with me last night, and frequently piped up to remind me that it still had tendonitis. Consequently, my sleep last night was not terribly restful.
I called in to work today. Anne (the slide library curator) is always very understanding of me and working road shows, and had no problem with it. I thought about using the extra time to jump right in and work on finishing my other program for Compilers, but I decided that I could use some refreshing, and that it would ultimately do me more good.
So, I slept an extra hour, tidied up around the apartment, showered, and cooked myself an omelette. I have many emails to respond to, so I may spend the rest of the morning doing that. However, it is more likely that I will nap some more before my 12:40 class, and just generally get some more rest.
(and to think, my glass slots haven’t even started up yet. Next week’s going to start to get busy x_x)
AWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW – That was for the cute kitten. ^_^
AWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW And another one which was for you. Sounds like you had a nasty day with finishing that C program. You know, that really scares me since we start programming in C already in my first week at the college. o_O

Ah, well if you need any help with C programming….
don’t ask me because I suck at it! *sob*
What I heard from my friends who started coding way before the CS-course at the uni was, that learning C after having learned Java is a wee bit more difficult than first learning C and then switching to Java; something about “wipe” commands to clear some unneeded space when a program is running. I was only listening with one ear to it, since I was more looking forward into seeing people again who I haven’t seen for at least 6 months, since the occasion was a reunion of the graduates of 2002.

Yes, I can imagine. I really should consider myself lucky, because the programs I’ll have to write for OS are small and simple, and the one for my Compilers class really isn’t too heavily involved with pointers.
D’aaawwwww!! I would so take that kitten, I truly would. Except I already have two kitties of my own, and they’d probably kill that poor little thing. ;p
I dunno, she’s pretty fiesty ^_^
Actually, just this afternoon I found someone to adopt her! They’ll come pick her up on Sunday. I’m glad that was swift.
