As most of you know, I am a Computer Science student, learning the ways of extreme programming. Most of the time I love it but sometimes I just hate it. Like right now. Not even two days into the new semester, we were given an assignment.
I have to write a program that will deal with GPSu files. These are files that store data written by GPSs. It’s going to be a semester-long assignment and the first part is that we have to write functions that will basically deal with reading through the files, interpreting the data and manipulating it.
Another part of the assignment will be taking in a User’s instructions on creating routes they want to travel on and we have to compute the coordinates, dates, and nearby landmarks to these “trackpoints”.
Do not say “this sounds easy!” because it isn’t. There’s a lot of other details about the assignment I’m not mentioning because that’s getting too technical for a blog rant.
But on the other hand, it’s just another stepping stone on my way to taking over the world with my awesome army of… err… robot zombie programmers…. infused with…. vampire mermaid kitties? O_o;
…I’ll have to get back to you on that one. My brain isn’t functioning well right now.

That sounds easy!
Sorry, I couldn’t resist! Still, it really does sound awesome, what you’re learning. Part of me always wishes I went into computer science because I actually like programming. I just don’t think I could do it for life. ^^; Either way, I hope your assignment turns out fantastically!
