unhandledexception.net The end of semester is here. There are only 2-3 weeks left and classes, projects and assignments will be over. It’s a very stressful time for students, who have to struggle to meet impossible deadlines. It’s also the time I get irritated very easily. With every few words that come out of my mouth, there’s a swear. My conversations mainly consist of pointing out how my profs are f***ing idiots, and how we’re being screwed. It’s a mood I like to qualify as “f*** the f***ing world!” It’s really annoying, I say things to people that I will obviously regret, and I am sure other people are totally sick of hearing my constant bitching.
Today was a busy day. Software metrics quiz in the morning, which I think went well, oral presentation in the afternoon that I don’t think went all that well, and now I am sitting home waiting for last minute slackers to send me their PowerPoint slides for tomorrow’s ENGR 492 presentation that is obviously going to suck. Oral presentations towards the end of the semester are quite the bad idea for me. I am in this state where I really couldn’t care less about anything else than my “important’ courses, so it is kind of hard for me to focus on researching and say something intereseting, so bare with me. You can bring in your laptop and earphones in class and give me a taste of my own medicine if you want. I know the presentation will suck, the slides will suck, the subject will be boring. I made it. It’s pure bullshit to fill out 70 or so sheets of paper, perhaps the best way to waste a projector’s lamp, and your time. Poor trees!
Today’s presentation was about our Task Manager project, from the sofrware architecture document perspective. I was kept out of the loop, because I didn’t have time to do this, my team did not appreciate me holding center stage at the project demo (even though we got A+) and I was told about it this morning waking up. That’s the rudest awakening I have had in a long time! I don’t know, but it seems that all the other teams did better than us, though my friends are telling me we did OK. Yeah. I hope they mean it, and are not just saying that to be nice. Really, if it sucked, tell me, as I will appreciate your candidness and take no offense. Also, please receive my apologies for anything I might have said today.
Immediately after that I put on my earbuds and headed home. I did noy want anybody else getting sh*t they don’t deserve. I just noticed it was a beautiful day here in Montreal, to the point where I will wear my sunglassed tomorrow! So that calmed me down a bit. So, I arrived home, mailed back my defective Maxtor, and took the winter crud off the cars with the pressure washer, delivered back my cutomer’s PC, and am now preparing my oral presentation for tomorrow.
Those who read here, my prof wants us to dress nicely for the presentation. So please don’t make any comments about me looking good, because I feel like sh*t in anything that is not jeans, sweatpants and a t-shirt. Thursday should be a much better day, as we have a class outing to ETS to try out their Logiscope. We have to bring two samples of code to be analyzed by the program. I’ll bring my compiler I did last year, see how that fares 
The other one I have not decided yet, but it might just be a stable version of the task manager. I don’t know if I will have to get these samples to work, but in any case, I have plenty of code on my laptop.
Ah well enough for tonight. I am still waiting for people’s slides. I don’t know, but 9 PM has passed long time ago. Does this give me carte blance to put Goatse in their sections and say “well, this is what the guy sent me by e-mail for his slides yesterday night, I am not too sure about what he wants to convey with that but anyway let’s hear from him”. No, I am not that evil.
