I don't know why I did this. I have homework due in 15 hours that I haven't
started yet, and it's in a language I don't know and it's a project I don't
understand. If my teacher knew about this, he would be pissed. He looks
pissed all the time, even when he's not. When he smiles he looks devilish.
Maybe I only think that because literally half the class flunked the midterm.
I am not joking about that. More people got F's than A, B, and C combined.
It's 2 am and the homework's due at 5 tomorrow so what do I do? Get chat to
work. Wow. That's going to look good on my resume. "Why did you flunk this
class?" "Because I was getting chat in Instant Messenger to work." Not that
that's not something to be proud of, but I wonder which is more important to
employers. The big battle, experience versus education. Just because you
got good grades in college doesn't mean you're smarter than someone who
flunked, it just means you put in the effort necessary to get a better grade
and the other person didn't. Maybe the person who flunked was working on
real honest-to-god actually *used* software, as opposed to some stupid tree
that only gets used for a fringe branch of computer science that doesn't
offer much more than a normal heap or binary search tree offers. Maybe the
person was out there reverse-engineering protocols and allowing cross-
platform communication to occur, creating interoperability and causing a
greater demand not only for the product, but for the platform it runs on!
Given the choices, who would you pick? Someone who was told how to code a
tree and managed to get it to work, or someone who increases your userbase
and marketability?
Enough of my rant for a while. I've had waaaaay too much sugar (gummy candy is
deadly).
