An entry before bed
May. 28th, 2006 11:25 pmI'm strongly debating bed soon, if only for the fact that I don't really have anything else I can do at the moment. I could pack, but at seven after eleven, that really doesn't appeal to me.
Today was fine enough, I got some of my drawers cleaned out and sorted through, and the packing process has started at least. I need to finish laundry tomorrow and pack my suitcase and tie up last minute loose ends sometime between now and Tuesday morning around 3:00, which is when I think we're going to head out of here. I'm excited to go, but I'm also really stressed with what needs to be done between now and then.
I haven't as of yet finished the last modifications to my programming assignment, which is annoying me far beyond anything. I can't seem to get it to work, and I don't know why. I know what I need it to do, I just can't get it to do what I want. I feel bad asking people for help, especially because sometimes it might seem like the only reason I go to them is when I want coding help. That honestly isn't true at all, and maybe people don't think that about me, but I sometimes wonder if that's not how I come off to people. I looked at the code from about when I woke up this morning, (around nine or so), to around two with few interruptions here and there. I got some of it to work, but not all of it, which frustrates me. I sent an email to my reader because she said if I got stuck to let her know, which was nice of her, but I honestly don't expect people to have all the time in the world to help me, especially because it's probably something trivial that I should understand with no problems, but I'm not. I really just need to have this done and submitted sometime between now and when I leave, because I honestly don't want to have to think about it while I'm up at Ithaca. Once it's submitted, it's out of my hands. Being so close to done with this thing, knowing that there is this one last small issue, makes me all the more anxious to get it working and submitted. I don't know, though. I guess I'll try to see if I can figure it out tomorrow, and if not, I don't know what I'll do.
My two sisters and I went over to the grandparents' tonight for dinner and to visit, which was enjoyable. My grandmother offered to take me clothes shopping tomorrow, because I really could use a few nice outfits, so that's something else I could add to my most likely already busy day if I wanted to. I haven't been clothes shopping in forever, and I need to go out tomorrow anyway to pick up a few things, so maybe I'll take her up on that.
We also gave Liv a bath today outside, and now she's a clean, soft, fresh-smelling doggy. She behaved herself throughout the bath, even when Mom sprayed water directly in her face. I had to lift her up and put her on the table we had her stand on, but after that, she was pretty much fine with it. Aside from that, nothing else really went on. I've had various phone calls today, Ventrilo conversations, and I've talked to various people online. Mostly, though, I guess the better part of my day was looking at this C++ code that will most likely probably be the end of me. Yay? No, I'm thinking not.
I think I'll end this here and go get ready for bed. Tomorrow promoses to be long, and I have a plethora of things to do, all of which I'm sincerely hoping will get done. I don't know how much Internet access I'll have when I'm up in Ithaca, but I'll post when I can. There are always voice posts, though, so I can use those to my advantage. If anyone wants, contact me somehow and I could give you my cell phone number if you're interested. I'll try to post at least once more before I leave, though. Ok, I think I'm out. Maybe if I try to relax and sleep, this will all look better in the morning, and I can get the program figured out and done and submitted. I sincerely hope so...
