Not much to do...

Still haven't gotten that OS project assigned... The next phase of HCI has been assigned but I haven't been able to meet with my group to discuss it. Probably talk about meeting tomorrow, maybe work on it thursday in the evening. That would work nicely, it isn't due until Monday. Anyway, I think I screwed up on my math test. I felt sick in the middle of the test and had to excuse myself for like fifteen minutes... And by the time I got back I really couldn't finish. Dammit. I knew everything on that test too. Hopefully it won't be too bad. I'll just have to do better next time I suppose. It's only math. The HCI test was easy, and our grade for the first phase of the project was some sort of B, so I should be ok there. Part of me is scared about the next OS project, but then I know that I'm going to do well too. I let a lot of projects get away from me last semester. That won't happen again I won't allow it. Anyway, this is my last required programming project based CS class. Still haven't decided what field I want to go in. Maybe teaching, maybe I'll start my own business. Don't know. The idea of working for some massive corporation doesn't really appeal to me. I mean, there are a few exceptions. Working for Google or Apple would be cool, but both would probably require me moving to california. I don't want to do that. I like DC and northern virginia and I know that we have a damn good tech job market there. To move clear across the country to work for google or apple just isn't really worth it to me. What I'd REALLY like to do is come up with some idea. Patent it, sell it, and make a lot of money on it. Then sell the business, and go teach high school. That would be cool. I would have to have a damn good idea though. Something that I can be passionate about. Something that other people could be passionate about. Otherwise it won't work. Not many people come straight out of school and start their own business and are successful. But there are definitely examples of people that have done it. Like that business major that graduated from here and started his own men's underwear store. He's now making lots of money on this crazy idea. My uncle Doug barely graduated high school and he started his own business and has been extremely successful. These people worked like hell. It is long hours and a lot of desire. Right now I don't know if I can do that. I guess we'll have to see. I'm looking forward to the apartment next year. Its going to be cool. And damn, only like a week and a half till spring break. How time flies. Hopefully I won't have to spend the week with my head in a computer, working like hell to get that program done. I think its going to be pretty complex. Maybe bigger than anything ever done. Over five thousand lines probably. A few dozen objects. Insane. Thank God for abstraction. Anyways, I want to finish this book.
