11/01/11

Oh ya the day with five ones' has arrived. 2011 (the year, notice the 2 ones), January (the first month) and the 11th day. Ya ya I know what your thinking but give me a break I really couldn't come up with anything else, sorry... ANYWAYSSSS, today in the course we students refer to ICS I made some progress on my calculator code as I finally got the basic code to Mr. Arkin's standards. I'm a happy student now. Today I had a pretty boring day so I can't really say much else, off to do my french culminating....
L8rrssssss

Procedures, Functions and Procedures!

     Hey everybody, just got back from school, what a day! Actually I had a great day. Everything just fell into place to be honest. Started off with a little bit of math to get me awake (didn't really help but let's just say it did). Rushed off to french to sign up for a presentation, came out with great success as I was first and put my name in the coveted last spot. You know saving the best for last (I think). Before I knew it it was time for my favorite part of the day. LUNCH!!!!!! Got lucky with a great lunch (leftovers rock), I pretty much just kicked back and did nothing useful. I even got to ICS early, not my usual time but I'll take it. And about my title, after making the almost all of my executable code into procedures and functions the actual length of the executables is just under 10 lines. And that's short! It was worth the work especially since I now know how to do these parts correctly, what are the chances??? I say somewhere around 100% but that's just my guess. PRACTICE MAKES PERFECT!

      Today in ICS I spent some time working on my non-graphical calculator with my partner to perfect the code. After a bit of hard work and learning a few things for Zelin I was able to present my code to Mr. Arkin. Or so I thought. Turns out that the way I had done the code was not what Mr. Arkin was expecting. Back to the drawing table I go. Shout out to Zelin for the assist (basketball terminology) in making my code short, conscience and efficient. You rock my friend.

     Music last period was a breeze. Finally received my sheet music and I almost have the song down packed. Can't complain there. I had a great day, if only more could come like this.

And now for your favorite, USELESS FACT OF THE DAY:

Despite the fact that 77 percent of Americans go to the grocery store with a list, it's estimated that half of everything bought there is bought on impulse. Supermarkets report very strong sales of almost anything they stock at the check-out line.

First Day Back!!!

     Dun dun dun dun!!! School is back in session and in full swing. As I got into school at a very early time and none of my friends were around. Disappointment number 1. After everyone got in and the whole "I missed you" and "oh my god, you look so different" thing passed class started. Although everyone knew it, no one wanted to admit it but exam as well as the culminating activities time was closing in on us. Before I could blink my eyes I had received 3 culminating projects and all the study sheets I could carry.
     In ICS today my culminating was the Mosaic project. I had to pick one of the possible options up on the board and write an article like document (HTML of course) on the chosen topic. Easy right. Uhmm ya easy, can't complain there.
     Alrighty well I'm going to get started on this little project. I shall be back *in a German accent it sounds a lot cooler, try it out for yourself.
Before I go here is your useless fact of the day:

The Paomnnehal Pweor Of The Hmuan Mnid.
Aoccdrnig to a rscheearch as Cmabrigde Uinervtisy,
it deosn't mttaer in waht oredr the ltteers in a wrod are,
the olny iprmoatnt tihng is taht the frist and lsat ltteer be in the rghit pclae.
The rset can be a taotl mses and you can sitll raed it wouthit porbelm.
Tihs is bcuseae the huamn mnid deos not raed ervey lteter by istlef, but the wrod as a wlohe.
How awesome is that?!?!?!?!?!
