"Typical College Day"

There I was, looking up something boring on the internet during Computing, when I overheard the following conversation:

1: " You get paid £240 a week for working in Tesco's? I only get £170."

2: (in sarcastic voice)"You should work harder". ANyway, I'm saving up to buy an Xbox.

1: "Yeah, get the Xbox. Have you seen the graphics on it, man?"

(NOTE: boy 3 really did say the word "man")

2: "Yeah, they're incredible. You also get a 10% discount if you buy it from Tescos, so it's only £144 there."

3: "Have you thought about getting a PS2? The games are immense."

2: "I heard you could steal poilce helicopters and motorbikes in Vice City."

3: "That's right."

1: "Noooooo, don't get a PS2. And don't get the Gamecube - it's crap. My mate has one and I played on it for a while - it's not worth it. You have to spend extra on a memory card as well; the Xbox doesn't need one, and you get two free games with it."

2: "I've already decided to get an Xbox; I should be able to buy it tomorrow when I get paid."


The conversation then went onto downloading the latest Harry Potter film for three hours on Kazaa, only not to get it when the file turned out to be duff, and passing driving tests before boy 1 asks if anyone has seen 28 Days Later. He then went on to say Resident Evil (the film) was great. Go figure.

Crystal clear.

I'm not

Im talking about the proof one

I don't know. Seeing as most people do the same one, I presume so, but it is an algebraic coursework, to do with sequences.
The last one, the statistics one, was absolutely terrible. Our teacher told us it was a new coursework and it was so badly organised and written she was apalled. I was too. SHe won't give us our marks.

Is your coursework on the 2 by 2 squares? Damn annoying coursework!

Tomorrow is Charity day in my school. Hurru!
But, also, alas, for I have Maths Coursework. I would like to shoot the person who came up with Maths coursework.

Oh, we actually learnt something to do with computers today as well.

Today, one of my fellow twitchy geek friends completed his version of Monopoly. When I say his version, I mean exactly like Monopoly. It was pretty good too, except that you can't buy more than two houses without the game crashing.

But still, the rest of the program was good - but not as good the guy at the end of the classroom, who made - get this - a program that built bridges. Yes, BRIDGES. Damn exciting, eh?

what was the text thing for netsend? I can't remember exactly how it went...

Ah good ol' Computing lessons. :) However, my lesson isn't quite so sociable, if you will. Someone programmed a...program dubbed Netsend, which is basically an instant messaging service, which sends messages over the network.
So, conversations usually depend on this system in order to be carried out. However, you need to know the number of the workstation that user is at, often ending up in some form of confused mess. MOST annoying. Stupid dorks... :)
