Scramble to the "Finish Line"

A day back in class after a weekend of watching anime is...depressing.
Especially when I walked past my classroom and had to walk back, mumbling about how bad my sense of direction is. Hm. And I thought X-Country woke me up.

Ah, well, back to my main topic: protocols and special character entities! (Ha, you thought I was going to say "CS Class", right? I surprised you there!)
Today Mr. Arkin taught us about FTP (file transfer protocol) and HTTP (hypertext transfer protocol). When I first walked into the room, I was pretty confused, since the board was decorated with diagrams and stick people, with computer-related words floating around. Then, when Mr. Arkin explained it, I understood.
It had something to do with the Client-Server relationship article we were supposed to read over the weekend (and I did! I did! I promise I finished my homework!), which makes much more sense now that it has been explained to me by an actual human being.
I mean, computer are great and all, but having a living, breathing person teaching you is much better, in my opinion. They have feelings, and will explain further if you really don't understand.

Then we got to work, editing our super-power assignments. I had already finished mine (and replaced the "s with ” and so on) during the weekend, so I set to work adding comments in my CSS, giving a description of what colours the Hex-Codes represent. It was actually pretty fun.
I also tried to find the sources of my images and see if they were copyrighted or not, but that turned out to be harder than I thought it would be. In the end, I decided that it would be easier to just draw everything and scan it, then replace the images I have with the ones I drew. As an artist, it's not that hard for me, and I would very much enjoy doing this. Moreover, it would save me a lot of stress. (Drawing helps me relax!)

Mr. Arkin also introduced the (dun dun dun) Peer Marking Scheme to us today. (Haha, yes, it's capitalized because I'm terrified of it) I'm paranoid about whether I have everything needed, or if there's something wrong. So, I'm probably going to check over everything again tonight.

Hmm...I think that's it. Oh! My blog entries are getting longer again! Hooray!
I love writing lengthy stories, articles, essays, etc. Even when I'm writing a fic, I try to make it over 1000 words (unless it's drabble).
(Mm, for people who don't understand what I'm talking about, don't worry. It's not that important.)

That's all for now! I have CS first thing tomorrow! But then...it's also Grade 9 Day tomorrow! I wonder what'll happen...
