DAAAAAAAAAAAAAADDY,

GRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAWR!!! My Data Structures class is so fucking hard. I mean, the concepts and material themselves are relatively simple. But the whole course is in C++, and I'm not fucking USED to the fucking language!

'Cause, you see, I was programming this one assignment in C++. I started it yesterday and I spent over six hours on it. I overestimated my programming skillz on my last homework assignment, which resulted in a nonfunctional program and me using up two of my three "grace" days for late homework. So, I was like, "Okay, I'll start working on it earlier." Which I did. And I worked pretty fucking hard. But the whole program is so fucking convoluted and long, which ended up in me racing against the clock — ONCE AGAIN — and then narrowly missing my 12:00 AM submission deadline. So, my last "grace" day is gone. And I haven't even completed the fucking program!

To my credit, however, I did figure out a bunch of new things in C++. And the program this time is mostly functional, instead of completely kaput.

Sooooooooooo, yeah. Next time I'm going to try working on the assignment a whole week before it's due. I just never imagined programming could be so fucking time-consuming.

You wanted an update, right? Here ya go. I hope you like the swear words.

By the way, please don't sound like such a pair of prissy-pants. It's bad enough that a certain high school guidance counselor writes to me that way.

Love,

Jenny-fa

P.S. Can I buy some clothes online now? As a consolatory present? @____@

    CS does take time, especially debugging, and especially since you don't know how long it takes to debug.

    I've pulled many an all-nighters for CS assignments. It sucks that my brain generally works best around 4-6 am.
