Computer Science Sucks, and Here's Why...
November 15 2005
So, I'm supposed to be writing another program that's due tomorrow at around noon, a little after at 12:40. I've gone through it in my mind again and again and again...
...And I don't know why my program likes to randomly decide to shut down before the end of the program. There's no error, it compiles fine (meaning the code is in valid programming language, the dots and dashes all where they need to be)... I enter in the numbers that it's supposed to find the biggest number that'll divide evenly into the two numbers, and it just ends. And, looking at the code first hand, it can't. There's no explanation for it. It just can't end like that... If it were only due Monday and not tomorrow, I'd be okay and I could figure it out...
But, y'know, I just don't feel like thinking about it. And so, I'm sitting here and typing while listening to Coldplay's song The Scientist. Nobody said it was easy, indeed... Grr...dumb programming.
It'll be okay. 'Cause I'll work on it later, realize I made some dumb mistake, and then I shall rock it like a hurricane, as the Scorpions have done before me. *suddenly has a desire to watch Aqua Teen Hunger Force*
...This program is easy enough. I know the method of solving the problem is right; heck, I stood in a group study room at the MTSU library with a markerboard, marker in hand, and went through it, step by step. There's just something wrong in the way I'm doing it in this stupid, nigh-useless language.
...To put it in terms normal people may understand, it's like an American telling a French foreign exchange student that barely knows English to break a leg. The exchange boy doesn't quite get this misintepreted message of good luck, and so takes a bit of confusion and fear towards the American. Not exactly like that, but it's a parallel problem.
*sigh* ...So, how 'bout that Chemistry major? Anybody a Chem. major and thought it was good? Or any other major for that matter... Anything other than computer science...
So, I'm just gonna forget I have this program to do 'til about midnight or so. In the meantime, I'll go to class, then go play some Guild Wars while Marissa gets a paper done. Guild Wars: guaranteed to make you feel better. *cues the thumbs-up*
Oh, any good video games that aren't completely new but are for PS1, PS2, or GC that I should know about? I'm trying to get together a shopping list of random stuff to take advantage of EB/Gamestop/Barnes And Noble special employee appreciation weekend... A larger discount than usual... Tee hee hee... Thus, I'm trying to find some slightly older games pre-played to get. So far on the list...
**Devil May Cry 3 (I figure I could give it a second chance now that it's cheap. Maybe.)
**Beyond Good and Evil (I heard it's good, and I know it's dirt cheap if we have it.)
**F-Zero GX (I might as well get it; high-speed DEATH!!)
**Ratchet: Deadlocked (I know it's a new game, but it is only $34.99 preplayed before the discounts.)
**Animal Crossing (I'd buy new simply so I could get the free 59-block memory card with it; I also heard this was good, and $20 before discounts, meaning half the cost goes towards the memory card!)
**Random PC Games (We're supposed to get a whole bunch more of the pre-played stuff that's left from another store; buy 3, get 2 free!!!)
**N64 with Episode 1 racer? (I figure I could get one of these while they're cheap, although I don't think I get the discount on the system...oh well. It's not like the system's expensive; I'd just have a hard time finding other stuff I wanted, like Zelda, Mario stuff, etc.)
I dunno. Any ideas would be great.
Anyways, you all take it easy, I'm off to class.
