Sometime, I wonder about the direction our courses are pointing us in

C makes it easy to shoot yourself in the foot; C++ makes it harder, but when you do, it blows away your whole leg. (Bjarne Stroustrup)

It has been discovered that C++ provides a remarkable facility for concealing the trival details of a program -- such as where its bugs are. (David Keppel)

C++ is like jamming a helicopter inside a Miata and expecting some sort of improvement. (Drew Olbrich)

The moral of the story being that C++ is super-gay. In reponse to this fact, I will be developing my own programming language in the near future. Called "T+++", it will be a revolution in the programming world.

End of Term, Beginning of...?

End of term always sucks in one way or another. Said good bye to Sean, Jarrett, and Gee on Friday. In a lot of ways, those guys have been crucial to keeping me sane over the last two and a half years and I really appreciate it. I won't be seeing S and J for quite a while, but I'm going to try to make a point of going down to Waterloo to hang out with Gee a couple of times next term. Gamecube parties? Yes please.

I'm so incredibly lucky to have an amazing girlfriend like Amanda. I think the pressures of co-op might have cracked me by now if it wasn't for her. I only hope I have the same effect on her.

I'm in the middle of finishing the second of two essays that are due tomorrow. No *major* problems so far, but it's still not a terribly fun process. What do I care if police can't use the polygraph machine as much as they'd like? I DON'T care.

Amanda's coming down to Michigan next week to meet my extended family and hang out for Christmas. It should be good, and it'll make everything seem a little more official to my aunts and uncles. They probably think I've been making up the whole girlfriend thing, and frankly I can't blame them. That sounds like something I'd do.

One of the cousins we'll be seeing I'm especially good friends with, and I believe he proposed to his girlfriend last night. I am currently taking 2:1 odds that I'll be the best man, but we'll have to wait and see.

Also, I was thinking I might steal my parent's digital camera next term and start up a seperate blog to post pictures of TO. If I do, I'll make sure to let everybody know.

I don't feel like proofreading all of that writing, I have too much proofreading ahead of me tonight as it is.
