Sweet Jesus cinnamon titties the semester is finally over. Two B+'s, one of which should have been an A, two actual A's, and an A-. Long winded rant beneath the tag.
SPOILERS! (Click to view)
The class which I should have gotten an A in was one I apparently never turned in an assignment. I redid it, but sent it in too late. If the professor had gotten back to me in a reasonable time about the assignment, I'd have had the A. Oh well, fuck it. It's the idiot's intro course to Comp Sci. Worthless class itself, but I'm not blaming the professor. It's the syllabus/school I blame. The community college I go to seems to cater to returning students, like myself, while also marketing in on the Web Developer stuff. So the class had that focus.
The other course which I got the B+ in I'd have been happy with a C-, so I'm not complaining. Assembly language sucks.
Java, C++, and Unix I got the A's in. I'm definitely more comfortable with those subjects now.
So I get to move onto my summer courses in a little over a week. I'm retaking Calc because I dropped it half way through the semester. Had to focus in on my CS classes, and dedicate myself to Calc almost exclusively. I'm taking it with Physics, which I hope will re-enforce the math. I'm paying out of pocket, so I'm not too worried about dropping Physics.Yeah, it would suck biting the cost if I drop it, but I'd prefer a high gpa and retaking it with a better idea of how the course is run and some of the assignments already done.
Went on a short vacation to Lancaster county, PA immediately after my last final. Damn I needed that mental respite. Saw a buddy from the Army who I hadn't seen since April of last year. Saw Rammstien in Philly, then. Good to see him both times. Got breathylized while I was out there. Blew a 0.0, so I was in the clear. Apparently, there's no open fires in the town I was in. That's part of the reason why the cops hassled us. Cars in the open by a gun range is what first got their attention, and then they followed the votive candles which marked the trail to the camp fire. We had been there about 20 minutes when they showed up. Nothing bad happened to me and my friend, but his friend got fined for being underage and having alcohol in her system. She's the one that threw a beer into the lake, which is what had most annoyed the cops, so everyone was under the scope.Thankfully, because my bud had gone into the lake to get it out, and I helped him, the cops had, I think, given us an unofficial pass. That and we went back to help clean up the camp site.
The only down side was that the chick that had kinda come onto me was about half my age. Was a hell of a confidence booster up until I found out how old she was. She looked way older then her actual age. Apparently, I look way younger than mine.
Back on the topic of friends, another friend is coming out from Cali in 2 and a half weeks, and is staying for a week and a half. Looking forward to seeing him, Haven't seen him since last year either. Going out end of August to see him, and an Army buddy who I haven't seen in 3 years. In other good news, my elbow is finally healing up, I think. Bout time I get back to the gym. It's a bit late to get the beach body, but it doesn't mean I don't want to look awesome.
