School.. school....

Great news! Sharon was able to come home yesterday. That is an answer to prayers. :)

I am just trying to make it through the last 3 weeks of school! Just 3 weeks... I got a grade back on a website I developed in my web development class today. Let me tell you. He is so picky with his grading. We are using Visual Studios 2005 for the first time. I love it! Most of the class we have just been plugging in code by code for HTML and Javascript, so not having to go piece by piece and having a compiler that checks for errors is amazing! I love Visual Studio. I wish we could have used that at the beginning. Needless to say, the Visual Studio stuff is very easy compared to creating all the code from scratch, but the "grader" gave me an 80 on an assignment. I was not too happy.

Let me explain. We had to list 4 streets with Visual Studio. The fourth street was to be personalized with our name, so I having the name Holly decided to use Hollywood Drive as my fourth street. Well, the "grader" took off 2 (8/10 scale) points for that bringing my grade down to an 80 because Hollywood is an industry, not my name. Yeah, how picky is that. I sent him an e-mail asking for at least one more point which would bring my grade to a 90 because I did have my name which is Holly (just in case you didn't know) as part of the fourth street. Oh well! I guess if I had the name Amber and used Amberwood that would have worked. I should have just gone with Holly. That would have been more exciting and personal. ugh

Ah.. school. I can't wait to be done. At least 80 is passing! :) Well, I'd better get ready for work. I just needed to get some frustration out.

Update: My professor stood up for me and told the "grader" that "Hollywood and Holly are a close enough tie for me. It shows she really did the work." Yay! :)
