So I found this video about choice. I saw it a while ago and I really liked it. This guy Barry Schwartz wrote a book called the Paradox of Choice and he gave this lecture: http://www.ted.com/index.php/talks/view/id/93
I found it really interesting, but you may find it incredibly boring (as Elias did). It pretty much inspired my last entry.
I think that I need to become more decisive though so I’mma just go buy that computer that I was first looking at. I can’t wait for the speed. This computer is so damn slow sometimes. 1500 dollars, though. :\ Ah well. What good’s money if you can’t spend it, huh?
I wrote my C++ midterm today. I got 14/15 on the multiple choice portion and I think I got about an eighty on the programming part. It was hard as hell and two hours wasn’t nearly enough time imo. I wouldn’t be surprised if they gave us a few extra marks to help boost our grades because generally if I find a test difficult, then a good portion of the class found it impossible. I guess I have to wait and see what the class average was first though.
I’m out. Peaceeeee

I might check out that speech later, but I’m too tired right now.
I agree with you though. There are too many choices, and it is confusing especially with computers if you are not super pro with them.
Pretty cool thinking.
Anyways,
Good job on your C++ test. ^_^

I think they call it a curve.
