SCHOOL'S OUT FOR SUMMER!!!


School is finally out for the summer!!! well summer school is finally out for the summer... I now have a month to get back to my usual routine of stalking and being the bogeyman (staring at you Mayer!)

I have to take a moment to complain about computer science people though, get comfy this may take a while ... sorry to those who I offend, but lets be honest with each other, you deserve it. You know it.. come on... So I completed my final on Wed for my one and only computer science class I have to take and I had one more project (computer program) due by midnight on Thursday. I had to design a phone book program. I needed to be able to enter in peoples information, save it, then search for it and have it pop up. Sounds simple, and most of it was but there was one little part I couldn't get. So I go to my professors office during his office hours on Wed, before the final, and he is not there. "Oh well" I am thinking I will just catch him after the final. After I take the final he tells me to come by his office around 2:30 and he will help me out. Mind you I have the whole thing done but one button programmed, the search button. I have no flippin clue on how to search through the phone book. So he sits down with me and my laptop and tells me to look at his notes he gave to the class and there would be an example. (I have been over these notes 100 times and I know there is nothing there) To appease him I looked and then told him I didn't see anything. So he took them and looked and then said, "hmmm... I guess you're right. I didn't include that... oh well, you'll figure it out. Listen I am going to run over to Taco Del Mar and I'll check back on you in a little bit." (Thanks Buddy! I am thinking in my head) There was another student sitting at the table with me who was in my class and working on a different problem with his project (I later learned he was going way above and beyond what the directions called for and was getting help on that) I asked to borrow his text book and when he didn't give it too me I back-handed the little dunch and kicked him in the teeth... Kidding just seeing if you were still reading... He gave it to me and told me "ch 11 I would find most useful" Who talks like that!?! He asked me if I understood what I was doing, I replied "is it that obvious?" He laughed and said lets take a look. I am thinking great! someone to help me get this thing done. Well, I guess he felt like making this a "teaching moment." He only asked me questions in order for me to think for myself. which I really don't mind when I do want to understand what I am doing. At this point however, I just want to finish this class and be done with it! He drags this out for an hour and a half!!!! AHHH!!! for all of 4 lines of code. Then I did back hand him and took his left nipple as penance. That'll learn him. Oh I forgot after all that it still didn't work so I went and tracked down my professor and I just had entered the code in the wrong order and then it was fine. AHHHH!

Whew... that felt good.

Love and Marriage California Style!




So this time I just attended a wedding, I was not the officiant. It was the wonderful union of Jón and Marisa! Although I did get the honor of being the MC for the reception, which was fun. It was crazy though. They (meaning you Miss RAY!) gave me a piece of paper after the ceremony right before the reception which had the order of events on it... no more.. but no less and said,"ok, make it work." So I did my best with what I had and I hope it was alright.

The whole weekend was really nice. I got to see loads of people from Capernwray (sorry, Capenberry Rebecca) which until then I was not sure if I would ever see again, this side of heaven anyway. I was very bummed that I did not get to see Beth though, she was suppose to be there, but missed her connecting flight due to no fault of her own. I rented a car, which was f-ing expensive (only because I am under 25), but they upgraded me because they didn't have any more of the cheap ones that I had reserved. So I got to cruise around in a Ford Escape all weekend. It was pretty sweet! La Jolla is incredibly beautiful. I had such a fun time, It was really nice to get away from school. I did do homework on the plane, both ways, but that doesn't count. Oh! I forgot to mention how amazingly talented Jón's family is! They all (well not his dad) sang and/or played an instrument for the wedding. They were not just good, they were really good. I was blown away.

Did I mention how great it was to see everyone? I love all of those people so much (Janice, BJ, Jeff, Courtnay, Elin, Chelsea, Daveo, Ben, Luke, Heidi, Dana, Brittany, Shawana and of course Jón and Marisa,) Well, now I need to get back to school work. I only have two more weeks then I am done with these classes!!! wooohooooo! There will be pictures to follow, so check back, but I do not have access to the pictures here at school.
