best day of my life... slash... week
today has been awesome. mum woke me up at 8am just as she was leaving the house to tell me we are gonna have turkish food tonight, which is a mega bonus, because turkish is good. then she went on to say that dad had already left for work. i could have jumped for joy at that moment, but i didn't on account of i was paralised from the eyeballs down. i didn't even hear mum open or shut the door as she was leaving because my eyeballs then became paraplegic and i was asleep again. at 9ish, i got a call from westinghouse rail asking me for my official academic record.side note: i have been "offered" (read: handballed) a job in the IT dept of westinghouse rail systems australia to replace one of their "IT specialists" (lolocopter) and all i have to do now is pass a piss test and sign the contract, and resign from browns and then i'm officially no longer a baker of distinction. woot!
so i kinda freaked out here, because i don't think i have an official academic record, and technically i don't even think i have passed my first year of uni because i failed FIT2001, so now i'm 1 subject down. and the subject i am doing to atch up with, i'm failing in. (we had our first test the other week and i failed by half a mark. douche.)
so i sent the HR lady my unofficial record, and that seems to have done the trick, they all seem happy. so i'm happy.
then after some more sleep, i continued on with my FIT2013 assignment which is due today. the first 2 questions i'd done, but on the third question, it just wasn't working for me (it was all codig javascript poo) - then i realised that i'd placed a variable in the wrong spot and there was a syntax error (seriously) on the variable code too.
gosh im an idiot. so now it works. and i'll try to upload them on here... but im not sure if blogger accepts javascript. we'll find out.
... ... ...
ok it clearly did not work. i published it and my blog basically died. here are some screen shots of what my program was supposed to look like:
and there is another, which does stuff, but it is too much effort to screen shot it all.
anyway, i am incredibly proud of these programs, because i did them all by myself. the only help i got was just on layout tips, but no one actually told me stuff that would go to my programs directly. so i am way proud.
after i submitted them, i slept some more, then got woken by my phone again. this time it was greg. he wanted to know if he could borrow my student card for carpooling at monash for the day. so like an hour later, jon and greg appeared on my doorstep. one could easily have mistaken them for being nice strapping young lads, as they were all dressed up in business shirts and pants. they almost looked good looking. but then they spoke, and i realised it was jon and greg.
actually, hey could have been mormons.
brandon flowers from the killers is a mormon. wouldn't it be cool if he rocked up on your doorstep asking you about god? i'd probably take a photo of his chin.
after that i think i slept some more.
since the last bit of napping i did some myspace stalking, blogging and eating.
today has been awesome. also, my cat is EXTREMELY fet.
speaking of fet, i might go down the street to get money out for amy, and maybe go into browns for some food. i better get as much free food as possible now before i quit.
ok chow kidlets.
