hell froze over yesterday

| No Comments
two and a half hours of sleep is not enough for any human over the age of twenty-two. the worst bit is that i get to pull another all-nighter tonight to get my assignment done for tomorrow's class, which just happens to be the last lecture for this class. while that trailing fact would normally fill me with great jubilation, it unfortunately means that the exam is next week. programming is not a course of study which benefits from exams as a means of testing absorbtion of the material and the ability to effectively use it. the real world does not have programmers sitting down to complete projects in timed allotments, coding with pencil and paper. i have very little say in the matter, but i'm extremely displeased that 65% of my grade comes solely from exams. assignments are a much better metric of one's ability to program effective solutions and much closer to reality. this is going to be one very long day. i may die. but at least i'll die content.
