| Deep sleep in endless ocean

[El]usiveness, the cope of night, ambiguously, betrayal of your mind
Passing through the evil dark side, the moment of metempsychosis…

The pale, white, fragile blossoms in the deserted street, a silent sanctuary… the greenness enclosing me from all directions, gently, ethereal solace… the serenity of the clouded, rain-flecked sky. If only there were no inhabitants in those grey, verdure-covered houses. The world without whispers and judgments and meaningless farces. I speak, then perceive the obstinate wall, a paramount of foolishness. Superficiality. Have they known anything deeper? I refuse to move. I am entwined in verdure.

| Threads, queues, persistence…

I thought I was so fucked last Tuesday, the day of my Computer Science AP exam — I oh-so-foolhardily indicated on my Student Pack that I would be taking the AB exam, when our course only teaches the material in the A subset. I was confident in my Java abilities and thought I could learn it all on my own… haha, well, BIG FUCKING MISTAKE. Turns out, there were many more topics than I thought, and I ended up making a desperate cram attempt several nights before the exam. Try learning lists, stacks, queues, maps, trees, hash codes, and GridWorld grid implementations all by yourself in two or three nights. Yeah, it’s just not gonna work.

But by some errant fluke of fortune, when I arrived at my testing location on Tuesday morning, I discovered that someone had neglected to order the AB version for me, so I gleefully took the regular A version instead. Which was easy-peasy, by the way.

So… in short, SAVED BY SOMEONE’S FORGETFULNESS. But I still have all this crap about key sets and TreeNodes floating around my head like discarded trash…
