Hey all!
I know this blog is later than usual, I was just really busy this week. Not much happened during the week regarding CSC. Just new lectures and materials. Unfortunately, I missed the tutorial on Friday, because I had an economics midterm that morning and needed the time beforehand to do some last minute study. I tend to prioritize and outweigh benefits in certain situations. Anyways, I'm so glad that reading week has arrived. Hope you all enjoy your break.

Fourth
Hey all,
Hope everyone's enjoying this special weather! I haven't seen this much snow since I was in elementary school. At the moment, I'm not sure how much snow there is in Toronto, but there's plenty here in sauga. But like all good things there's always a downside.
I woke up this morning and checked my social feeds. All my friends from other universities were tweeting, posting on facebook and texting me about how glad they were that their school was closed. Many of them go to universities in Toronto such as Ryerson. So with that in mind, my hopes were high and expected my school to close as well. I went online to check. Tell me how my campus was open whereas Mississauga and Scarborough campuses were closed... No love for commuters.
The sidewalks and streets weren't even plowed in my neighborhood. Snow almost as high as my knees.. Now I wouldn't mind sharing the adventure I had today just to get to school, but it would take too long. Long story short, it took me more than 2 hours to get to school. Well, that doesn't sound that horrible, but it was. Although.. I did enjoy watching kids get stuck in 3ft snow piles and old ladies slipping & sliding, some toppling over. Don't worry, none of them got injured. The snow acted like a pillow.
Do you know a show called The Walking Dead? If I can describe what it was like outside today, I'd say it was just like that show but a Winter edition.
Oh, and we had a test this Thursday in class. That's about it for this week. I think I did well, didn't really need to use my cheat sheet.

Third
Mission "Wake Up On Time" has been half accomplished. By that, I mean I arrived on time to Tuesday's class, but failed to on Thursday. However, my body was exhausted from practice and working out throughout Monday to Wednesday, so being unable to wake up on time on Thursday was almost inevitable. Regardless, the two alarms in the mornings proved to be a success. I just have to sleep earlier whenever I have practice so that my body can recover better. This would make getting up the next day a lot easier.
All of the quizzes I've written so far, I've gotten full marks. They really aren't difficult as long as you follow instructions and complete the assigned tutorial videos. The only thing I am worried about at the moment is the first test that is coming up next week. I have no clue what it will consist of. Hopefully, the teacher will post up a list of subjects that will be tested on the class site.
Oh, I just remembered something. MarkUs annoyed the crap out of me yesterday. When I submitted my wikipedia part I assignment on the website, but I encountered a very irritating error. It acknowledged the submission of my WikiI.pdf file, but it still said that the assignment was missing. After a bit of messing around with the file, I figured out the problem. My document was saved as WikiI.pdf, but the "W" had to be in lower caps. . . . . . . At first, I noticed the site asked for "wikiI.pdf" with "w" in lower caps, but I thought it would be no big deal, because it was still the same file name. Thus, after saving the file with a lower caps "w," I was finally able to resolve the issue.
That's all I really have to blog about this week. Until next week, see ya.
