I’ll be looking forward to working on this synthesizer once school is out. Hopefully that’ll help me out with learning that skill. I’m sure it’s gonna be an absolute beast of a project, though.

School is definitely testing my determination with these programs lol.

Are you a proponent of writing out everything you want to do on paper or drawing a picture before you even write a single line of code? Someone told me to do that because if you don’t know what you’re trying to do, like you said, you’re sunk.

Also coding in small chunks. As in write a method and then test it with a small driver before you move on. Because if you try to run it all at once that’s just asking for several logic errors and like 200 syntax errors.

When you first start out, that's definitely a good idea. I still do that for complex things but dor simpler things I just kind of see it in my mind the way I want to develop it.

Yes, I test things frequently while I am coding, usually writing the tests, assertions, and exception handling as I go...I find its easier doing it that way than trying to write a whole buncj od code and then retroactively weiting the tests...because then you won't do it because it ends being a lot of extra code

Study Break and Breakthrough

I know it's extremely early but I'm studying right now and it's my break. So I wanted to post in here very briefly. Additionally, we got a 3 day extension on our first program in OOP Class. Thank the freaking Lord, now I can write it over the weekend and get it looked at on Monday or Tuesday. I need a 100 on this one if I expect to make a B in that class. No reason I shouldn't get one.

I just wanted to say that reading books, both the textbook and extra books that I can find on the subject has really helped out. I don't know why this is the first semester I thought to start doing this. Stupid. I'm not gonna lie to you guys, this is the first semester since my freshman year where I've actually understood what's going on in these classes instead of just bullshytting my way though.

The "For Dummies" and [x] Demystified Series are very good. They've definitely helped save my butt on some of these test this semester. A lot of the time, these school textbooks are less than worthless because they're so pretentious. I was doing my program today and this Java for Dummies 8 in 1 helped me out a ton with the logic and syntax errors.

I remember in the last semester when I took Foundations of CSC, I was bytching and complaining that there were zero resources on the internet for this class. Well I do a bit of digging(I'm gonna need to retake this class at some point) and what do I find? Hella books on the topic that actually make sense and even YouTube Videos. Turns out that I was just typing in the wrong stuff. The search term that I needed to type in was "Automata Theory." I even found Discrete Math stuff. Had I just dug a bit deeper maybe I wouldn't have made a C in there...

TL;DR: Books are amazing, the internet is amazing, it's gonna be the driving force that gets me through life because I'm fvcking clueless tbh. There's nothing in this world that I can't learn through a book or the internet

I have a lot more stuff that I want to talk to you guys about but I've got to get back to my study session. I just wanted to post this in here because I just realized how much of a major breakthrough this books stuff was as I was working today. Why the f*ck didn't I do this from the frigging beginning??????

Phone Upgrade; Alarm Clock

Also, fvck my stupid phone. It's so ridiculous. Having a phone in this condition is really making it hard for me to get my work done and succeed in life honestly. I've even been c*ckblocked by my own phone, believe it or not. Crazy.

So I'm gonna save my money(relatively) like AMS said and not splurge on anything expensive or get a super fancy phone. I don't need that. An iPhone 6 is totally fine for what I want to do. So I'm going to buy a refurbished iPhone 6 for $210. That'll be $230 with tax. With my gigs this weekend, I'll be able to pay for it. Then I'll swap the SIM cards and do a sync.

I know I said I was going to save money, but I really do need a phone that isn't retarded(it won't even charge above 10%) or I'm not gonna make it.

Another necessary purchase that I made was a Sonic Boom Alarm Clock. Those things are loud af. Half of the problem with my responsibility issues is that I sleep in so dang late. Not acceptable. So that'll be here on Monday. It'll give me more time to go to the gym and study because I'll be forced to get up earlier. Add time management, and coffee/energy drinks to the mix and I'm unstoppable.

Okay, last update for today. I just felt like talking to someone about this stuff. I'll let you all know how my quiz today and homework grades go later.

SIDENOTES;
I think a YouTube Red subscription might do me some good productivity-wise. If I could listen to dope mixes offline and not worry about Data, I'd be way more productive in life. Sometimes I wanna listen to stuff that's not necessarily on Apple Music, like hour long vaporwave mixes. Those help me cope with life and make me super productive.

And speaking of phones/texting... I'm freaking done texting these hoes essentially. I lost out on one of my big time crushes that I really should've fvcked because of overpursuing by text message. And I've noticed with the girls that it was going really well with, I was pretty much only texting them for logistics like with my old Tinder Date. So I'm pretty much just gonna do whatever AMS/Corey Wayne does with his texting. Hell on the dates too. Maybe flirting very slightly with the opening message. But yeah, just wanted to get that out too. Game increasing through experience.

As a testament to how shyt my phone is, I had it on the charger for an hour and it's still on 1%. Camera and microphone are broken too. How am I supposed to cope with the tedium of my day if I'm not listening to exciting music? Sheesh.

But anyways. Back to Calculus.

Why do you need a phone so badly?

I bet you my life's worth you can go through a day without even checking your phone and everything will be A-okay. I'm currently trying to minimize the number of times I check my phone/internet browse. And with that being said... ttyl! Lol

If I could show you how bad it is, you'd totally agree with me lol. It won't even go above 1%.

It's impossible for people to get in touch with me, I can't even check my bank account balance or read my eBooks, and most importantly I can't cope with music. If I'm not listening to dope music mixes 24/7 I can't function pretty much. That's how I cope. I know it sounds crazy but without a phone I can barely do anything.

This phone is literally a brick right now. Won't react to charging for several hours. I hate to drop over $200 but I can mitigate the damage by buying a cheap phone as opposed to a $1000 one. I don't need a super fancy one. Just enough to message, check my email, listen to music, send video messages and so on.

You can get a smartphone for like <$50 nowadays.

Cant you get a two yr contract and pay monthly?

Bless me up with that link bro I could definitely use it. The cheapest one I found was $185, which is totally fine but still

I'd rather pay in one lump sum tbh

 

[GrowingPains]

@shouldbefun I have a contract with republic wireless. The phone I got was $100 and I pay $20 for unlimited talk text and 1gb data. But I rarely go over 1gb because I'm on campus most of the time and I deliberately try not to use my phone (shout-out Cal Newport).

@nicksaiz65 it won't be an iPhone. Just go on Amazon and search for a smartphone. Blu makes phones around this price range. I'm sure there's many others. They aren't as high quality as an iPhone but to someone like me that doesn't matter. I just need to be able to talk, text, listen to music and look at maps occasionally. Could be a good option for you until you're more financially stable.

Starve now, feast later.

Those look like nice phones. How are the apps? It looks like some of them actually work with Verizon. I'm guessing I can put my own music on there? How do the emoticons look? If I can put my own music on there I can finally cancel my freaking Apple Music Subscription, which would be a Godsend.

How are the apps on there?

I'm looking into buying a refurbished iPhone but I'm seeing people complain about the battery life a lot. And then that would just bring us back to square one

I don't have a Blu phone. I have a Moto G5 or something like that. I remember seeing Blu as a name that came up in that price range when I was looking.

Browse YouTube I'm sure you'll find your answer pretty quickly.

You know, it's funny you mention that. I've been doing some research all day, and it looks like my best option is the Moto G6 Phone. It's $200, so $220 with tax. A phone's important, so that is definitely within my price range. As soon as I get paid tonight, I'm gonna order it.

I never thought I would be an Android User. But you know what, I'm loving that price and the reviews seem really good. The phone will be able to do everything that I need it to do. The iPhones I was looking at cost $700-800. Hell the iPhone X was $1000. That's craaaaazy. Let people clown me if they want: I'm saving money and depending on how I like the phone, I may stay on Team Android even when I'm making money. I looooove that price. $200 for a phone that will last me 4-5 years? Yes please, let the masses spend over $1000 for a phone to give girls their non-sexual attention with silly little emoticons.

My old phone is officially busted. It came back on after TWO DAYS on the charger then died instantly again. I'll be getting my new phone on Tuesday and I'll let you guys know how it is.

Phone Game Update

Speaking of phones, I'm never getting a girl's social media instead of her phone number again. Getting her social media and hitting her up on there is only good if you wanna be the president of her Friendzone Fan Club.

Also I can finally put whatever music I want on my phone and cancel my Apple Music subscription thank the freaking Lord

Haha look at this dumb ass with his different operating system!!! He should've paid $1000 for a phone that's the same as the version before it like I did!!

C'mon mate stop caring what people think. People can barely think for themselves.

Program 1 + Mystery Method

I spent my night working, implementing my Program 1 and failing at Cold Approaches.

I know you guys tell me to lighten up on the theory but sometimes I just have no idea what to say. And I need the theory for that.

So to prevent this: I always wanted to be a PUA so I'm going Old School. Mystery during the night, Roosh during the day. I like how Mystery talks about not how to validate these sluts just like AMS. And they're both essentially flowcharts, and it mixes with high value Game. I should be able to get pretty far with Mystery and Roosh so it'll make me a PUA like I always wanted to be.

I wanna play these hoes like I would play a video game. Flip the script. So these flowcharts will help me.

Program 1 is a bit confusing... not quite sure what they're asking me to do. I might just need to go in for tutoring on Monday and focus on the more important test coming up on Monday for now. That's priority numero uno.
