Yeah that one wasn't my favorite. Passed it though, so whatever.
I've got Python after this; what did you think of that? But I believe that's it for coding in this program.

This week is our National sales meeting and I think it’s the first time in 4 years I won’t be presenting. I can sit in the back and ask pointed questions like the cool kids.

Feeling the powerful desire to burn some ships - and maybe bridges - today. Or maybe it's just the will to self-immolation. Either way, something must burn.
