Scary Wednesday!!!
Me asusta, me asusta!
This Wednesday, AKA TOMORROW, I have my second math test! I was afraid of that first one and didn't do so bad... But this one's really scary! Not only do I need to study for that, but I also need to do the rest of the math homework that's due tomorrow. Maybe that'll be part of my studying. Wish me luck.
On Saturday I went to a programming contest. I had no intention of winning, I just wanted the extra credit my CS teacher was offering. We were paired up and given a packet of problems to solve with programming. My teacher said we'd get 2% to our final grade for just showing up and 1% per problem successfully completed (Up to 3%). So my partner and I each get 4% extra credit. Pretty cool, eh? We did about average for our level.
OK, so Napster's pretty cool when you get a free subscription. Unfortunately the songs are all copy protected and whatnot. Luckily, I found a program that "fixes" that so I can put them on my iPod. It cost me $15, but has already more than paid for itself.
Math test... Scary... I'd better get started on that homework.

Wednesday, Wednesday, Wednesday
OK, that math test? I got an 82. Seeing as the class average was 66 and the class median was 68, I think I did pretty well. I need to do better though.
I've finally caught up in the math lab. Yay.
Wednesday is my favorite day of the week. It means its halfway over. I'm done with classes at noon. The classes I do have are Spanish, math, and computer science. Spanish is fun and review, math is math... I like math, and computer science is neat. We're finally starting the cool programming stuff. Wednesday is also my day to stay up late because Thursdays are free until 4. You may ask, "If Thursday only has one class that isn't until 4, shouldn't it be your favorite?" NO! Sure I get to sleep in, but because it's pretty much a free day I use it to get work done... And since I have a five page explanatory essay to write for Tuesday (Which happens to be my least favorite day) I'll probably start it tomorrow.
I scheduled my Winter quarter today. It has two less credit hours than this fall quarter I'm in now, but I think the workload will be substantially greater... That sucks.
My computer is now a dual boot machine. I've got Windows XP and Ubuntu 6.06 (Linux) now. Linux is weird! But I figured, if I'm going to be programming and whatnot I should try it out. As soon as I learn how to use it better I may spend more time in it.
OK, that's all.

Whew!
This morning I had my first test in Calculus 2. I was scared! I'm never scared for math tests... except this one. It actually wasn't that bad. I think I did pretty well... Guess I'll find out sometime next week or the week after.
