21. The Buffer Period (Positive)

Argh. A month without a post. Again. Blah.

A lot has happened in the last month. Let's have a quick rundown, shall we?

1) I finished my programming project at last, and it worked flawlessly.

2) I got 12/15 marks for that essay. This was the second-highest mark in the class and extremely unexpected.

3) I received word that I will be interning at Open Emotion Studios this summer! Which is absolutely brilliant and possibly the best news I've had all year.

4) I sat my exams. For the most part they didn't go badly, but I definitely do not see another 4.0 QCA in my future. However, I'm happy that they're over now.

5) I have so far spent almost a week at home, potentially my only length of time at home for a while, so I plan to make the most of my time before I leave on the 31st, or possibly VERY early on the 1st.
6) I have a proper website at last! http://skynet.ie/~program9

At the moment I'm trying to squeeze an entire summer's worth of late nights and long lie-ins into less than two weeks. So that's going well. :D

20. OK, Logic Can Be Annoying Too... (Negative)

This assignment is hard. Not to say that I won't be able to do it, but it's irritating me immensely that there is definitely a simple solution evading me. Serious work should get me through it though.

Exams coming up. Worried as usual.
There's more to worry about this year. I'm feeling the pressure I predicted when I got that 4.0 last semester. Whatever I do, likelihood is that I'll be below that, and there's no possibility I can improve on it. That's depressing. Everyone tells us things get more difficult every semester. But that doesn't quite convince me that doing worse is OK. Sure, I'll live with it. It'll just annoy me.
'specially because one of my friends may have been refused co-op on the basis of his grade falling over a year. And he's a clever guy. He probably dropped from 3.8 to 3.4 or something.

Urgh.

10. Web work update and procrastination (Negative)

I've been getting terribly slack with this blog lately, but at least I can tell myself 'I told you so'.

Anyway, web work. It's been going very well, it's just that I haven't been posting it. So my updates are:
- I've done my Continuum page. It needs a bit of work but it is up and I'm pleased with it.
- I spent a considerable amount of time fiddling with the page last week. I changed the original gradient background of the page to a more boring but cleaner and easier-to-read-on plain black.
- Today I'm working on forms for a planned feedback page. Dunno if the feedback will actually be getting back to us, but there will be a feedback form regardless.

Procrastination: I'm using it to forget about my Java project. This is not a good thing. I need to take a serious look at it. This is a reminder to myself.
