Finals Done!

Well sort of, mostly.

I've still got to go to class tomorrow, even though I've taken the final for that one. I suppose I could skip out but I suspect the professor is holding out with the participation grade until she sees who shows up tomorrow. I'm pretty sure most of my friends will show up anyway, and there's food.

So today I had the Calc final at 7AM. Good thing I'm a morning person. I think I did alright with it but won't be sure until the professor posts grades. He sent an announcement this afternoon to tell people that he doesn't have our grade yet. Duh, it takes a bit to grade stuff that isn't multiple choice. I understand why they are anxious though. Calc 2 is one of the hardest math courses and it's a prerequisite for a lot of things. I'm eagerly awaiting my grade too, I just expected to wait until official grades were due at the end of next week.  

Well now I've got a month off to fart around and learn Python. Maybe I'll clean something and finish the macrame plant hanger that's almost done.

Couple Of Things

First Off...

Tonight Isabelle had a choir concert and it was really good! So proud of her! She had a solo and everything. 

Second, I was thinking of learning some coding over the winter break. I already know a little Java, I had to take a class. But I was looking at Code Academy and they have a few things to learn. I was thinking about either HTML and CSS (they go together) or Python. I don't know what to choose. Maybe one of you could tell me what you think in the comments.

YAY!

I'm Almost Done...

Counting down the days at this point. I just had my last lab class. I'm done with labs for a while. There's no final in this lab. 

By the time this goes up, I will be on my way to campus to present my speech. I'm as ready as I'm likely to get. If I had another week to practice I probably wouldn't, so there's that.

After this week there's finals. The only one that remotely worries me is Calculus, but the more time goes on I think I'll do alright with it.

On that note, here's a cool space pic:
I didn't take this one, the address where I got it is at the bottom (I did take the one of the moon from yesterday). This is the Crab Nebula, which is a supernova remnant. There is a pulsar somewhere in the middle. The light from the explosion first got to us in 1054 AD. It's 6500 light years away which means that it actually exploded about 7460 years ago. 6500 light years is actually relatively close. Space is HUGE!

This has been a random space lesson.

See ya next time,
Ella
