Week 3: Day 3
Today was apparently the hottest day of the year so far, and reading stuff like that makes me wish Toronto had mass open wifi and electrical outlets everywhere. For me, the hotter the better; and given the city — and country's — propensity for being über cold for 14 months of the year, I really treasure every day that's above 20C. I love this course, I really do, but I sometimes (okay, a lot) wish I could be outside in the sun and heat instead of in an over-air-conditioned room, staring at a computer screen all day.
I was hit by an urge to blast through the work yesterday and plough through it until I conquered every last thing. It meant staying at the lab until 8pm, but the upside of that was I finished both yesterday and today's work and was not only on top of the material, but ahead. It also meant that when a classmate asked if I wanted to step outside for a smoke around 3, I took it as an opportunity to head home, too. Man, but it was nice to ride along King Street without being stuck in bumper-to-bumper traffic like I usually am around 5 or 6 in the evening. I really just ought to take my bicycle...
I figured I'd get to the lab early this morning and work on the rest of the Coffee & Code work from yesterday, so I got there a bit after 9am and turned the class radio to CBC Radio 1, and enjoyed an empty classroom and The Current to keep me company. It didn't last too long before another student arrived and the place quickly filled up. The first one in was the American guy; one of the girls in the class is making it her mission to have him say "eh" naturally and without prompting before the course is over, which would be pretty neat to have happen.
I'm also trying to start a corny little thing in the class. On the whiteboard off to one side, I'm trying to create a nerdy joke of the day where I'll be writing a new one each morning (or evening, depending how late I stay). It sort of looks like this:
