As I was writing a little bit before yesterday, I recently had the opportunity to defend myself, and I'm very happy to announce that I succeeded: I now am a Bachelor of Science in Computer Science. (On the other hand, I don't really know what I should capitalize here, but it sure looks great that way.)
Boy was I stressed. Well, I kinda mentioned it already. Plus, it's evident: it was my first defense, but most importantly, I hadn't revised everything I wished.
My stress was quickly relieved, however. I came to school over two hours earlier for some last revisions on-line and was drinking a vanilloccino when one of my professor asked me whether I was free. Without thinking too much, I said yes and got taken to a room where defenses were taking place. I took the exam and was free two hours earlier than expected - lucky me!
Next defense, coming soon! This time, in mathematics.

Tomorrow
Tomorrow, I'm defending my Bsc in computer science.
Which means I'm revising my eyes out. And napping.
That's totally a good thing, because Lifehacker keeps saying how cool naps are.
Two things I'm not doing are procrastinating (I'll do that later) and panicking. It's weird. I should panic. If I take the list of requirements, the speed I'm revising them, the amount of time left and do the math, I've got reasons to panic. Just not the time, I guess. I need 2-3 more days of 100% focus on studying, but that thing is tomorrow.
Unless it isn't, because I need some signature here, something else here and the professor I need them from doesn't have any classes this semester, so he's kinda hard to catch. Honestly, I wouldn't be too disappointed if tomorrow's defense wasn't to happen.

Random linkage: Cat Ladders
There are blogs about absolutely anything these days. Today, I'll feature Cat Ladders, a blog about - you guessed it - cat ladders! The site features over 800 pictures of cat ladders from 29 countries.
Most posts feature simple solutions, like this one from Poland:
There's also something for the big cats:
... and something for not cats:
My personal favorite is this one:
Pure royalty! I wonder if it has a little red carpet on it.
If you want to learn more about cat ladders and Cat Ladders, there's also an interview with the blog's author. Enjoy!

I love Amazon
Seriously, I really like Amazon. I have had really good experiencec buying from them. And what did I buy? I guess you can tell by the recommendations I have just received:
Okay, so modern cryptography: cool, me likes. Classing shell scripting: not so much. I belive shell scripts should be received from kind people who wrote them, not written by myself. Ideals and varieties sound pretty interesting too, but something tells me that I wouldn't get through such a book without taking a class in the subject and I'm done with my math classes.
So, who wants to guess what I've been watching on Amazon?

Happy and excited as a kid who just got a new game, I immediatly installed it. It didn't load.
Bummer.
