Nitpicking

Aaargh. Well, I can reclaim at least 8 points on this midterm, since I can point out in the book where I've gotten my answers. That gives me a solid B, if the TA decides to give the points back to me. The rest of my missing points are because I didn't carefully read the fine print. Changing assumptions about questions in mid-stream is a little shifty if you ask me, but hey, that's why this is a weed-out class. Thankfully, my logic was all correct, even if my variable names werent. And I missed 5 points on the long program for either getting the procedure name wrong (Insert(), not Add()) or calling a procedure that I didn't NEED to call.

So that's that. Teeny mistakes add up.

I have a meeting on campus, and then it's time to go home and work on my labs.
