Oddly enough, I'm not hungry.

What are you programming? Tomorrow I have to edit my program by changing a Priority Queue to a Minimum Heap that I have to implement. I'm not excited.

Ugh, programming sucks. I used to be a CS major and I'm glad I dropped it. Congrats though. I have to do it sometimes for my job now, but I try to avoid it when I can.

In a way. Remember the scene in "Planes Trains and Automibiles" where Steve Martin and John Candy's car catches fire and they laugh hysterically? I'm at that point right now. Got the project in on time, but now onto lab06 which is due tomrrow. ROLFASDFWELALALALAHAHAH FVCK!

Very time consuming kiddie programs. I idiotically didn't transfer my APCS credit, wo we're drawing American Flags and Snowmen (and about 30 other objects) with GNUPLOT!

Intro programming course eh? Otherwise this would've been a woot for 30 hours of programming thread ;)

Now imagine that you had to program 9 hours a day, every single work day. Welcome to software engineering.

Programming is the funnest thing I get to do.

It's fun when you actually get it to work, though I suppose the logical challenge is exciting. And I've apparently sobered down from my adrenaline high now.

WOOT FOR 30 MY COKE REWARDS POINTS!!!

Its like a puzzle. Its fun. Granted there are other non-academic things I'd rather be doing, but for school its not too bad.

The best thing is that all my computer engineering programming courses are all a few semesters behind my computer science programming courses, so its a bunch of easy/fun engineering credits.

I like doing it when I'm writing a tool that I will use for my job. For example, I make maps for a living and sometimes I need to automate some tedious things. There's a pay off there, when I get the program done.

I couldn't imagine just writing a program then moving on to the next one.
