Never Surrender

I'm still struggling with my VB.Net Final Project that's due tonight.....struggling as in trying to get enough of it written to keep my A even though the damn thing isn't going to work correctly. Of course, since it doesn't work correctly, there's no way to test the remaining bits & pieces that I'm writing now.

grrr.

I shouldn't get so stressed, most of the 8 out of 21 of us left in the class aren't going to finish it either. (Yeah, a rather high attrition rate. The instructor sucks that badly.) Except this one kid, who was showing the instructor in class last week all the fancy bells & whistles he'd added to his that weren't even assigned.

I hate him.*

Not really, he's a nice kid, and obviously a much better programmer than I.

I did that in Geography. I aced a series of tests on world geography, and the instructor gave me a slip of paper designating me the top student in the class, and excusing me from the final.

My table partner looked at the slip and said, "I hate you."

Oh, and I HATE Visual Basic. The thought of Visual Basic combined with .Net gives me hives.

I did something similiar in Networking & Information Systems last semester. Not this class though. It's been a nightmare.

That's ok though. Unbeknownst to the instructor, our evaluations of her were a class project. All I can say is that it's a good thing she doesn't get those until _after_ final grades are in.
