I love the rain...it's just annoying when I have to walk home in it. Somehow, I get all soaked even if I'm carrying an umbrella. *can't hold an umbrella properly*
Well, last night's homework was pretty easy. Er...to tell you the truth, I forgot about Assignment 3. See, at first I was confused as to what we were supposed to do. But then I read a discussion topic on the Class Wiki and figured it out.
Then I forgot.
But! I did it today, before finishing the aterisk border. :]
It was fun! I...feel strange saying this, but it really was fun!
Today I was...er...well, let's just say I blanked out most of the time. Looking at my notes (huh, I can still copy down stuff automatically, I guess), we learnt that if there's not enough space in the run window to display all of the output lines, the topmost line gets pushed up out of the screen. To show this, Mr. Arkin taught us about the delay procedure, in which you can delay the action being done for a certain amount of time (stated in milliseconds).
For example:
% This program will locate row 15, column 63 and then output an aterisk
% after 1500 milliseconds (1.5 seconds)
locate (15, 63)
delay (1500)
put "*"
Isn't that awesome? That's too awesome for words.
If only you could see the program run...then you'd be even more impressed, I promise.
(Yes, I know I'm...overreacting. But that's my personality. Don't judge.)
On another note, we got new glossary terms and >dun dun dun< a skills inventory! (As in, the things we'll have to know for the test.)
Argh...no one even told me that there was going to be a test until today. Sometime near the end of school.
...
Yay~! I wrote a long blog entry today! I was worried I wouldn't be able to write anything long anymore. Ha...I can breathe a sigh of relief.
Then again, this means I have less time to finish all my homework And my -- Oh my God! My deadline's today!! Damn.
Er, well, time to stop "procrastinating" (though this is also homework, so does it count as procrastination?). I'd...really rather not do science, so I guess I'll write my article now. 400 words...that's not hard. I hope I'll be able to fit everything I want to say into it...Grah...I hate word limits...
