Week 5, Post 2. Hurrah, March Break! Rejoice O ye sinners, your salvation has come at last.

Welcome to the second edition of Blake hates random numbers, semi-colons, curly brackets, retardedly long commands for input boxes, random numbers and broccoli. Just kidding, I like broccoli. IN THE GARBAGE. Anyways, in this new and exciting post, there will be thrills, spill and everything else one would expect in one of my super awesome posts.

To begin with, I just wrote my random selection test. A few hours ago. And my teacher who normally updates marks 10 minutes after receiving all the tests still has not updated them. This makes me nervous. Although I did well enough to believe that I got 110% on the test (yes ladies, I am that awesome. And yes, I am a soon to be single engineer. Soon to be an engineer, I should say.) It was somewhat of a struggle.

I spent quite a bit of time studying, about 1.5 hours on written, maybe 20 minutes in code. I honestly didn't think my teacher would put any really hard questions, which he didn't. The bonus was similar to last years if I remember correctly (never found that damn test) and I got it. Hopefully. Knowing how stupid the random generator is, and the fact that I don't like if statements, I may not get my 110%. Ah well, I still did rather well, and I think most of the class did too.

Every day I thank God for these marks. Because I just downloaded Adobe Flash. The program to create flash programs or something along those lines. And then I realized, I AM LOST. COMPLETELY LOST. LIKE NO CLUE WHERE I AM IN THE MIDDLE OF JAPAN AFTER GOING TO SLEEP IN MARS LOST. I seriously have absolutely no idea where to start. So being the good little cherub that I am, I went to Mr. C's website and checked out his favorite's for flash. Which makes me realize, there are about 600 versions of flash. And actionscript. Then, to top it off, I have absolutely NO IDEA which version we are using. And talking to Hippie Jesus confuses me further. Mainly due to the fact that he can make programs on it so easily. May have to get tutoring, because I can't afford for my mark to drop off due to flash. Tutoring from Hippie Jesus. Just the though hurts me.

As well, all hopes for starting early on my Flash game have completely gone to crap. And as such, preparations for my amazingly amazing with a bit of amazing on the side game will be, you guessed it, amazing. Getting all my animations, code blocks and everything ready to nail that 70...err 110%! Off to the races I go, walking on broccoli the entire way.
