(no subject)

So, I submitted my project early this morning, and got a 100 on my first submission. Yay! ^_^ Of course, the next one is immediately following that, and it's implementing a binary search tree. And these are the "minor" projects. And, of course, Capra's rambling doesn't help matters much. *sigh*...why does the CS department give asshats like Capra and Gifford classes to teach, anyway?

Speaking of asshats...my Chem recitation TA decided my writing wasn't neat enough for him, and deducted 5 points (out of 35) for "neatness". Now, I've been doing homework by hand for a while now. Many people -- including some of you who read this -- commend me on my neatness. So I don't see this TA's problem. But don't go by me -- judge for yourself.

Anyway, I'm going away for the weekend. Going to Princeton, NJ for a Quiz Bowl tourney. I should be back in time for the T-Con meeting. Bad thing is, I have to make my way to Durham to meet the others. Oy. That ice is terrible. Why Tech didn't close, I don't know. Hell, Hokie Grill opened late, why can't I miss class? If the answer is, "because we're students", I'm going to hurt someone. I'm sick of this university treating students like scum, dammit. I almost slipped and fell three times making my way to Whittemore this morning for Intro to CpE. And the teacher did slip.

Anyway, off I go. I might be on AIM, but prolly not.

An amusing thought...

After seeing the John Edwards van parked across from the Bookstore, this went through my head:

"Live from Blacksburg, Virginia, it's Presidents on Ice!"

(yes, I know they're not presidents, but still...)
