practicality: (Sparda : Sins)
I just spent something like three hours straight working on Java code. I think...computer science is not a good career choice. Mostly because I feel like gouging my eyes out right now or something.

There are also people from the oil company who have been here at least that long. I would like them to hurry the hell up, finish installing the new boiler or whatever, and leave. In part so I can have heat again, and in part because I am the only one in the house right now, and it makes me feel a little uncomfortable. Also, they are listening to shitty radio stations, and the house smells like oil.

I think I can also pretty much guarantee I'm not getting into MIT or Brown - got my scores back from my second round of the SAT I, and I only did ten points better in math (690), and fifty points worse in Critical Reading (750). I am also pulling a C average or so in Calc 2.

...Zuh. I am so dead today. I think I may find some food and watch tv or something.

Aww, Java is a cruel mistress, but isn't it kind of fun, too? <3 <3 (Or perhaps I only enjoy it because my computer science professor is insane in an utterly lovable way.) Are you doing anything fun yet, or is it still all boring nonsense (you just started the class about a month ago, yes?)? <--I think I may lose at grammar.

It's fun when I'm actually understanding it, rather than spending an hour trying to figure out how I managed to create an infinite loop somewhere. My CS is professor is totally a giant geek, but in a cool way XD;

We're doing inheritance and interfaces right now - we only started a month ago, but term is only seven weeks, so it's fast-paced.

Isn't 1440 a good score? *is Canadian, does not know these things*

It's good, but not MIT- or Brown-good. Most people going to MIT have up around 800 math - I didn't even break 700.

That's... actually, just about what I got on the SAT I. I just never bothered to retake it. MIT math scores are absolutely insane. Best of luck to you with that.

Thanks, I'm going to need it x.x
