Could it really be? I have nothing to do! Read on!

Q: What do you do for an hour and ten minutes when you already finished everything the day before?
A: Write your blog entry so you don't have to do it on the weekend!

Yes...It's Friday, and the Superpower Assignment is officially due. All around me, my classmates are scrambling to put the finishing touches on their work and upload it. Me? I'm calmly typing this out while pandaemonium is happening around me. See, this is the benefit of finishing everything before the deadline. (Haha, actually, I was pretty much finished by last week! These past few days were spent putting the finishing touches on my web page, as well as marking my partner's work and making sure mine was marked.)

Hm, you know what would make this even funnier? If I suddenly whipped out a cup of tea and daintly started to sip from it! (Haha...the influence manga and anime have over me...)

Ah...well, I'm trying to pass the time with this, so bear with me and my horrible sense of humour.

Mr. Arkin said that we had to have everything up by 10pm tonight. Well, this doesn't really affect me, but my partner has to uploaded a revised version of the Peer Marking Scheme. I'm not worried, though - I fully believe that she won't disappoint me.

Update! She's almost there! Come on, come on...

Sometimes I feel like connecting to FileZilla is like a day at the New York Tax Exchange (is it that one? I can't remember...hopefully I'm right.) Everyone's trying to be heard, and it's almost like a full-out war.

Update...er, number two! She did it! Hooray! *jumps up and cheers*

What else is there to say? (For those of you actually spending your precious time reading this, I love you! Haha...maybe you could also devote some of that time to reading...my fanfic? *nudge nudge wink wink* Make sure you leave a review!)

Oh yes! It's Friday today, so that means we're in Studio 218, not Lab 218! Hooray! Our class put together an amazing playlist, which can be found here. Right now, Bad Romance is on. Haha...such good memories come back...I miss my friends from middle school...

Maybe next week I can bring in a japanese CD! I know the library has Ayumi Hamasaki...but I wish that they had anime OSTs. Anime songs are epic. *grins*

Anyways, I should shut up now. I probably wasted, what - ten minutes? - of your time already. Since my mind is already on  manga and anime, I'm going to pull a language switch and say:

Ja ne!

P.S. Google it if you don't understand. Google's awesome like that. (You probably won't find it on any japanese-english dictionary websites, it's slang...sort of)

Frustration!

Ah, yet another passive class.
We continued working on our Super-power assignments today. But, as I've already finished mine, I decided to add the valid HTML and CSS buttons at the bottom of my page. I ended up tweaking them a little, to make the web page look more presentable.

Mr. Arkin taught us some shortcuts today. I use the "Alt+Tab" shortcut a lot now. (Actually, one of my friends from my old school taught me how to do that, but I forgot) Ha, I admit that they're very useful!

Argh! I just tried going to my website, but it didn't work!
This is strange, because it worked before. It was perfectly fine yesterday!
My index page shows up, but when I click on the link to my Super-power assignment, it gives me a 404 (Page not found). I'm really frustrated right now. I also have other homework I need to finish, but if I have time after I'm done, I want to fix this problem.

Hopefully I can do that tonight. If not, then I'll be sure to ask Mr. Arkin about this tomorrow.
(Argh, it's so bizarre! I'm so sure I didn't do anything wrong...)

Mm, today's entry is quite short, isn't it? Ah, well, we didn't do much anyways.

Mission: Accomplished

I did it! I finally did it!
Remember how I said that there were still some problems with my super-power assignment HTML? Well, now it's fixed! And...all my HTML is valid! Both my Index Page and Super-power Assignment are valid!
I'd leave it as it is right now, but I want my images to be centered. I'll try using the the specification thing Mr. Arkin taught us in class today.

E.g.
CSS:
p.superpower
{
}

HTML:
<p class="superpower">

Except...with images. Hopefully it'll work! However, after I write this blog I will work on my English homework, then go back to school for Curriculum Night. When I get back, I'll try to work out the CSS needed to center images.

Oh! And there was something else, too...
In class today, I tried putting the little "HTML validated" icon onto my web page, but there was something wrong with the HTML for that! So, I just took it out. If I can't figure it out tonight, I'll have to remember to ask Mr. Arkin about it tomorrow.

The last thing I want to talk about is completely unrelated to CS, but I just really wanted to say this:
Silent Reading is awesome! Because of homework, I don't usually have time to read (unless it's during a meal). So when I found out that Vic Park reserves twenty minutes especially for reading, I was ecstatic!

Well, that's all I wanted to say for today. All we really did was work on our super-power assignment. Ah, anyways, I'm looking forward to tomorrow's class!

Time for some serious work!

Ah, there's not much to say today.
We continued working on our Super-power assignment. Since I was fooling around with different colour schemes yesterday, I didn't really decide on one. So, today, I looked up a list of HTML colour codes to create a design that I was happy with, yet still professional. I stuck with my original idea - using analogous colours. I just needed to figure out which ones! I actually wanted to use pink, blue and purple; but when I tried it out, it didn't look as good as it did in my head. I'm not a big fan of red, yellow, or green; so I decided to use blue as a base colour. I ended up using different shades of blue and purple. I'm glad I didn't stray too far away from my original idea.

Last night I typed about half of my essay out, so I copied the text into my HTML file (Index.html) in class. When I previewed my web page, it looked really nice! (Well, in my opinion, at least)
Then I checked the marking scheme to see if I needed to include anything else. And...surprise, surprise! Apparently we need to add in links and image(s) as well! I groaned, but eventually accepted this and moved on to find a decent picture for my super-power, teleportation. When I did, I saved it to my Home Drive and worked on creating internal links. I managed to get quite a lot done!

Tonight I will finish typing out my Super-power essay, and then apply it to the HTML spreadsheet I wrote. Then I will add external links and an image (or maybe more than one, if I can find another good picture). Hopefully it's not too late when I finish this. If it isn't, then I'll download Filezilla so I can upload my work onto the class website. (Argh! I better not forget the password!)

On a side note, the supply teacher for yesterday and today, Ms. Ecker, was incredibly friendly and kind. Although she didn't do much except supervise our class, I really enjoyed her presence. She had a great sense of humour!
