In which Pearl struggles with substrings

I'm exhausted mentally and physically... My fault, for staying up until 2:30 AM last night (this morning). And I didn't even get to drink tea this morning, so I had to trudge through the entire day without any caffiene in my system. By fourth period (French), I was falling asleep. Derr.

Today, Mr. Arkin was away, so we had a guest teacher. She didn't say anything, just let us in. (She made sure we were doing our assignments, though, so that was good).

So, I set to work, tackling the Substring Assignments. It took me a while, but I finally understood the concept. It took me about half an hour to figure out how to do Question 1 properly, but hey, at least I managed to do it, right? After that, things went really smoothly. I got to Question 4 and finished about half of it. I think I'll work on it a bit tonight, and either finish it or continue on tomorrow.

On another note, the programming test is postponed until next week - I just checked the Daily Log! I don't know whether to celebrate or be exasperated that I spent the better part of my weekend studying instead of doing other homework for other subjects.

That said, I just want to mention that I saw my classmates from middle school today. I'm so glad I went to the library (near my house). We stopped and chatted for a while, then went our separate ways. It's nice to see old friends. Over Winter Break, I plan on going out with friends from my old school - Eaton Centre on the 21st, and somewhere else later with a friend I haven't seen since Grade 5. (We still talk to each other every day on MSN, though.)

Mata ashita, minna-san~!

In which Pearl finally gets to print out her assignments

Today was a tiring day. I felt so lethargic...
I must've yawned at least ten times in French class, too. I hope Mr. Vretranos wasn't mad. *wince*

Well, today we had Computer Science first thing in the morning, so I got to print out my assignments before class officially started. I just have to say, the format Turing prints out code in is awesome!
I'm really weird like that...I just... To me, it's fascinating, okay? *cry*

On another note, today was yet another catch-up day. First, we had a Q&A section (as usual) about HTML. Then, we were sent back to our computers to work on the Selection Assignments in partners. Zarin and I reviewed Question 6, and she showed me the correct format to put it in. And just in time, too! I was about to print it! And that would've been a waste of toner...

We wanted to review Question 9 as well, but just before we were about to do so, Mr. Arkin told us we were going to take a note. As a class, we went over Questions 12 and 13. Personally, I had absolutely no problem with either of them, though, apparently most of the class did. It was slightly annoying to have to sit through that. I wish we could've done Question 9 instead...

That's about it. Hmm... My blog posts are getting shorter and shorter... Ah, whatever.

Ja ne~!

In which Pearl tries to better her Superpower Assignment

Aw, man, trying to convince my mom to let me go to Anime North is hard. *wince*
But I'm going to do my best! I really want to go - it's that important to me. I'm even willing to pay for it out of my own pocket! ...If I even have that much money...

On another note, Mr. Arkin was away today. So, we cleaned up our Super-power Assignments. Or, well, I did. And, God, did I strain my eyes. I feel really stupid...because I forgot a lot of important stuff about HTML. Like, for example, where to find the "Website Design" page. *shot*

But it should be fine now. I made sure I corrected every aspect of it (that I could find).
I still can't believe I put "were" instead of "we're".
DAH. I'm a shame to all Grammar Nazis! *cries*

Well, on the weekend I have to write my Programming Glossary and upload it. Fortunately, it's not that hard - just time-consuming. Then again, it means I don't have to work on my Science, so I'm okay.

There's not much left to say... We didn't have Studio 218 (again). Is it because there was a supply teacher? I still don't know.

Hallowe'en is this Sunday! I'm going trick-or-treating. Yes...it never gets old. Besides, I like Hallowe'en because I get to dress up (and people won't give me strange looks if I walk around with cat ears on!). Ha...I can't wait until it's May. Anime North! I still have to convice my mom to let me go, though...

I want to write a Hallowe'en fic/story and draw a "spooky" picture. No, scratch that, I can't draw scary stuff. But hey, I write angst, so the writing part will be easy! (Self-promotion time!) Look for me on deviantArt: my username is chibikarin22. Or click here. That works too.

Well, I'll shut up now. Have a Happy Hallowe'en, everyone!

Ja ne~!

Mm...I'm experiencing a case of forgetfulness...
Maybe it's because I actually slept for more than seven hours last night...
Yes...that must be it...I always feel sleepier in the day if I get more sleep at night...

CS was last period today. (Ah, a funny story - at my expense: I actually thought that the schedule for today was D, C, B, A...so I ended up standing outside the wrong classroom for ten minutes. Thank God it was a late start!) It was sort of nice, because today's class was very laidback and relaxing.

We continued to work on our Class Glossary. My partner and I spent the first ten minutes or so brainstorming more definitions, then we set to work, progressing on our own glossaries respectively. Last night, when I typed out the skeleton, I hadn't put the terms in alphabetical order - I was rushing it, since I had needed to leave soon. So I did that during class today! Ha...it was easier than I thought it would be...I'm just happy I didn't have to retype everything. Now, I have to validate it.

Actually, before I do that, I want to look up formal definitions and add them into the HTML. Yep, that's my homework for tonight.

I find Dropbox amazing and incredibly useful. Now I can access my fics and stories, as well as my drawings (once I download Gimp) from any computer. It'll be so much easier for me to work on them!

Mr. Arkin also informed us about Lab 235, which is open every day at lunchtime. I plan on going there at one point this semester, because I normally have nothing to do at lunch except sit down and read, draw or write. (Which reminds me! I wrote a Durarara!! drabble this morning. I need to type it out and post it up.)

Hehe, sorry for getting side-tracked. I'll be going now. Mm...I smell dinner! Om nom nom...
