Let me tell you of a rollercoaster. First my financial aid was blocked becuase they thought I had graduated. This was on 8/31. So I had to fill out a form that took 3 days to process. So that happened and then they tried to deposit my refund into a nonexistant bank account. So I had to wait for that to come back. Finally on 9/2 I picked up my check and went to Wells Fargo. I had an account with them and it was closed (and another account which I owed a lot of money). I was willing to pay what I owed them but they wanted me to pay both accounts off which was more than I could pay at the time to make a new account. So I had to go to Compass Bank. I opened an account there but they had to hold the check for 7 business days so no $ until 9/14. :( So I'm still waiting. I had to agree to pay $100 more for the tablet pc I'm getting because I am delayed in paying for it.
Good news though. Friday I got word that they want me back as a tutor. Yes! So I'll be doing that. If I bone up on my math again, I can get more hours. The problem is I'm quite rusty.
I'm going to start posting the exercises we do in class for my intro to fiction class. I hope they don't seem subdued (becuase I am). They could be because the class is at 8 am.
Right now I feel that my computer science past has broken off and feels distant (including what I've learned). It seems to be fading. I feel more attached to writing and english at this time. IT work no longer interests me.
But there is something odd. Taking english classes is interfering with me starting/working on projects. Or maybe it's just that I'm keeping busy.
I am using CS though to make a word game that I invented. I'm using Python to process some words. Basically it goes like this:
You have a contiguous chunk of a word (3, 4, or 5 letters long) and you have to try to guess words with that chunk in it. BTW, the name of the game is Vofragulary and there will probably be a version written in flash eventually.
Example: nve a word with that in it: invented.
DO NOT STEAL MY IDEA.
You get points for guessing multiple words with that chunk.
Tomorrow (ie later Sunday) I'll post an exercise from my fiction class.
