I am superproductive this week. I got my passport photos taken, have most of my dishes done, and am keeping my head above water (so far) on homework. I am trucking along on gift shopping and even got a chance to design my next tattoo (a flock of origami cranes) this evening.

In other news, the Foo Fighters cover of "Darling Nikki" is sooooo good.

That is all. Good night.

I'm really beginning to question the sanity of my Java prof

My last program did not compile, certainly did not execute, did not come close to containing all the functionality it was supposed to. But I did a minimum of work in the time I was able to spend on it, and fully expected to get a D on it.

I got a 65/75. That's not only a fairly solid B, it's 5 points over the average score in the class. So apparently the other people in there aren't the rocket scientists I'd assumed.

I have a B in the class again. By my calculations, it's still impossible for me to get an A in the class, but I won't utterly slaughter my GPA, which I need to keep up so I can transfer to the MS program once I finish all my prereqs.

That is, if I even decide to go back after taking winter trimester off.
