#practice assessment

This one is going to be short due to how late I went to bed.

We did CSSFriends yesterday. It was a good practice in CSS/HTML, and tweaking elements in the Chrome browser. I had fun with tweaking, since I've spent many years doing pixel perfect image manipulation.

I got ahead on the jQuery readings we had so I would have more time in the evening to do things.

In this case, the evening was dedicated to creating a Super Duper High School Level Practice Assessment, Javascript with jasmine specs to match. That took way too long. I didn't think I would be up till 2 in the morning, figuring out why I couldn't get recursion calls to take, or how to get the currying specs to pass.

In the end, I got the latter to work, but not the former. :(

Now I'm really really tired. I'll get ahead again on readings today and try to go to bed early for once.

Today was a solo day, but I couldn't get very much out of it due to my mistake of drinking coffee. Even though I drank it around 9:30 AM, by 1:30 AM, I was still wide awake. :( So testing out sleep over studies didn't happen this time.

We were supposed to work on the Music App, and it wanted us to try and do as much of it as we could without consulting any references for the Auth part. I was both way too drowsy and tired to focus, so sadly, I wasn't very productive.

I did get some practice in on memorizing parts of Auth, but overall, it wasn't a day I'm proud of unlike the day before.

We also had to do an in-class practice assessment. I did terribly, because the parts I memorized were only worth 2 specs. With the amount of time we have before the real assessment, I'm not confident I'll get it down in time. I made lots of flashcards and hopefully by the time test day comes, I'll be able to answer them all with great confidence.

So for anyone reading my blog, this post is going to be short and not very sweet because I don't have much else to say, because as I've said, it's an unproductive day without much to be proud of. :-(
