Today I wrote my final exam for the term… and I feel relieved.  Yes, this means that as I write this I’ve had a few beers in me and am enjoying the sweet feeling of freedom.

Really, my marks are in the air and there’s not much else that I can do about it.  However, my prof told me some good news today before writing my Software Architecture final.  First, that poker project that I’ve been furiously working on all term, the tuxpoker project, is ranked first for the projects in the class.  I’m relieved quite a bit by this because I was unsure of how well it would’ve had scored, considering it’s not completely error-proof.  Though I did plead with the prof before he graded the projects to take into consideration the complexity of our project.

Among the projects, ours was the most complex because it involved a lot of network programming and a heavy GUI graphical component.  So I’m pretty happy we were all able to pull through on this.

Secondly, after all the marks have been tallied in, including the project, I went into the final exam with the highest mark in the class.  I’m pretty stoked because in previous years I haven’t really put an effort into University, I just kind of took it for granted as the “next step to high school”.  Although my marks haven’t been bad, they just weren’t excellent from my lack of commitment.  Coming back from my internship I have felt revitalized to finish my academics strongly, and I’m glad that my effort has returned some result.  The final is worth 25% of my final mark, and I hope I did decently to pull through for a nice grade.

Now, I have to worry about packing for Ottawa, California, and to just visit some friendly faces I haven’t seen since I got back.  I feel floaty

In other tech news, I believe Google world domination has started to commence.  In 2004 I worked in the summer with 2 other guys at a start-up called BugByte (www.bugbyte.ca).  We developed a commercial scheduling application, where people can schedule their meetings, and also have their secretaries schedule things too.  Apparently, Google has implemented a similar application but on a web-based version.  Sigh…

Check out Google Calendar, it is tres cool.
