Enjoyable week

I am sitting in my room, going to go down to lunch in something like 15 minutes. I am now back to regular schedule and I am enjoying the last week of break, plying loads of games as an early winter-een-mas celebration. I recomend todays Ctrl+Alt+Del ("Chest of Choice") by the way. I aslo have good Norwegian coffee with me, right before I left Kr.Sand I went into the coffee store and bought coffee beans that the woman in the store grinded for me right there, the taste is so much better. I aslo brought chocolate, browncheese and Prim, lovely, I might bring the Prim to lunch. Apart from that I try to get into the habbit of studying an hour of chinese every day, I was a bit bad yesterday, but apart from that I have been good. Our teachers have promised us some sort of celebrtion on chinese new year(including making food), looking forward to that yeah. I brought my books yesterday, it annoys me that they have to cost so much, (90 dollars for a USED econ book), but it is fun looking through them. Apperntly the language we are going to be working with in CompSci is Python, I ahve acctually never heard of it, but it looks interesting from what I have been able to read. Astro is the other subject I am really looking forward to...

PYTHON?!
I refer you to this bash.org quote:
user1: does any here speak python?
user2: sssssss! sssss! hhhhhhsss! sssss!
user1: the programming language

heh!
the rest of the world is using java, C/C++ or scheme/lisp, depending on what you're doing. why python?!
ah well.

get books from india. as in, google/ebay them; you can get books really cheap from india, because it's impossible for their economy to support US$100+ textbooks. For example; I bought a physics book (new: $100) for $20 new, + $20 shipping (by fedex nonetheless). That's cheap =)

Accroding to the guy who wrote the book (funny guy by the way) Phyton "is very flexible and makes that experimantation easy." He also says that languages such as C++ or Java were evolved to solve problems that arise in large scale programming and were not designed to make writing small or medium sized programs easy. And we are apperntly focusing on the stuff that is the same.

Gotta love gash.org though....
