Welcome to Gaia! :: View User's Journal | Gaia Journals

Well, I wish I could log in more entries, but as it turns out I've been very busy. Heck, even now I'm very busy, I should be working more on the program assignment. Between WoW, work, class, and social I need more time. I started this journal with that extra time. Anyways.

I love programming, but I wish I could do it a little more the way I like. I understand assignment goals, but what ticks me off is being forced to use an SVN and eclipse, which is lousy compared to netbeans. Netbeans is so much more flexible and useful than eclipse, and it works without having to have work done on it. I want to sit down and code, not sit down, spend 15 min tuning the IDE, and then try coding with lousy software assistance. it's a poor excuse for a tool, but unfortunately in seems to be the "industry standard". Whatever. I can still kick code a** with the handicap. But I still love programming. Learning C this semester, it's kinky, in a hot way. Can't wait to get into that. My technique is improving, makes me feel like a boss. This latest project has basically taught me all the things I needed to know, mainly using the library classes to do fancier interface things. This way I don't need to go writing them myself, although I'm still tempted.

But that's that. Went to an RA event a little earlier, poor guy only got 3 people to sign in, couldn't even run the event with the people who attended. I sat in just to support his sign in sheet.

Been playing a game recently on the laptop (seeing that's all I can do with it because the wireless hates linux and linux on a flashdrive doesn't function to hot). Battle for Wesnoth. It's kinda awesome like fire emblem, but with far more missing and a random engine that's out to screw you over. I still pwn it though. Takes about 50 min a lvl, 1 of the dozens of campaigns has 40+ lvls. I'm going to be at that game for a long time.

Rewatching Clannad. Still doesn't fail to impress me every time I see it over. Nagisa's just so adorable, wish I could have one of her in my life. Unfortunately anime girls are designed to be perfect and perfect can't exist on this earth, but you can only dream. I feel like I had a Nagisa in my life, but that person didn't follow that image for long. Unreplicatable. But ya. Still my favorite anime. One of the few anime's I can actually sit down and watch, and do nothing but watch. That's how much I appreciate that show.

Got my first writing essay conference tomorrow. Haven't even opened up the feedback mail yet. I'll probably do that after this, not incredibly worried because II know that I can write fine when I care to, but you never know. No, this journal doesn't count as "writing fine", because I'd rather just let out thoughts as fast as they fly from the leak in my head, then try to organize and line up the little drops.

I think that's most of what's on my mind. Can probably add some things, but back to work I go!
