hmm...

Well, today my calculator is officially dead. That's not very happy, so that's all I'll say about that.

And, I got to troubleshoot one of David's mazes today. I haven't actually finished it. I should try to write a program in C at the end of this semester, which will be able to find the solution to a maze, even with conditions like make only right turns. That would probably be really hard. Maybe not, I don't really know.

Then after work me and David played two games of chess. He won both, but I did better than I thought I would. Especially in the second game, when I actually took his queen. Then made some dumb errors. Oh well, 100 times from now maybe I'll win! :D

success?

I know, I know, I haven't posted in a while. Partially because I haven't been online too often recently, and it hasn't passed through my mind. Or it has, and I've ignored it...

But today, I heard from Erika. She is one of the people who I have been working very hard tutoring this last semester. She has been working very hard on her lessons, and although she failed her final (she froze up), we both felt confident that she could place out of that course with the AccuPlacer test. She took it yesterday, and passed! So now the long journey continues. But at least it progresses!

And it made me very happy to hear this.
