Another Look at Another Day
More good news about my Eee PC – it looks like it's finally been dispatched and should be arriving either tomorrow or on Thursday. We paid for next day delivery but the cut-off point for want counts as “next day” was 4pm and I'm not sure if it shipped before or after that point. I certainly didn't realise until after that and I think checked it near the end of school so... probably Thursday.
It would be nice if it did come tomorrow though. I have a feeling that I'm going to screw up the second part of my Maths test as well (first half was today and, as you may have surmised, it could have gone better) so having it waiting when I come home would probably cheer me up.
Otherwise, I'll just have to spend the whole night playing Mass Effect. Woe is me.
Nothing much going on at school today. We got a revised version of the prelim timetable. We were told that it was because some minor changes had to be made to the schedule but the real reason was fairly obvious; the first copies didn't have any room numbers. Knowing when our exams are going to be is nice but knowing where is also fairly important.
I spent most of the morning revising for and taking the aforementioned Maths test. Computing was fairly uneventful as we spent most of it trying to make an online 6502 emulator work with some sample assembly code. Our teacher got it to work but none of us could so we suspect it might have something to do with the different web filters on the different accounts. Whatever the reason, we didn't get much work done.
At lunch, I deliberated over whether or not I should do the Physics homework I had only been reminded of right before the Maths test. Most of the rest of my class hadn't done it either and those who had tried said it would take far too long so we all just left it. This strategy worked pretty well, although our teacher not even asking for it helped a lot.
Thinking back, I've been tired for most of the day. I normally don't even properly wake up now until I'm actually getting out of the car at the hospital and the cold air hits me in the face. By lunch time, I'm so tired that I can hardly concentrate on my work. Admittedly, everyone was talking during Physics (my only period after lunch) so it could have been that but I've not been able to focus on doing any revision at home either.
Anyway, I forget where I was going with that other than the usual “I hate these constant hospital appointments” and “I'm very tired” stuff. So nuts to it.
I'll finish up with a link to an article I read at The Daily WTF today. I'm pretty sure I've mentioned it before but, in case you don't know, it's a site that updates daily with bizarre tales and practices from the world of IT. A few of them require some basic technical knowledge to get but this one's fairly straightforward and interesting.
It's also worth taking a read through some of the featured comments.
And that's it for tonight.
