My take on life.
Boing
So my last C++ class was amusing. We're still going through the steps to writing that program that simulates a bouncing ball, and we needed something to use for a realistic comparison, so we can get a feel for what the results should be. Anyways, he didn't have a ball or anything on him, and it was kinda funny. So he asks the class for a ball, but no one has one, then he goes off about how he's surprised that no one has a ball, like a base ball or tennis ball or anything, don't a lot of IT students play sports and stuff? Then he tried mouse balls, but every person in the class had an optical mouse. Lucky me, I had a small tiny plastic ball that's been in my bag since who knows when for whatever reaosn, although he was convinced it was a candy at first (it's about the size of a gobstopper and orange) but it bounced, so I was special and he said he'd give me timmies certificates for helping class (woohoo!)
So he takes the little ball and grabs one of the tables (this was in the long room in M with all the long square tables for desks) So he gets up on to the table and stands on it, at the front of the class, and holds the ball up to the ceiling. And we had like 3 people with stopwatches to time how long it took to stop bouncing and stuff, since that's part of what our program did.
So he's standing up there, and he'd say 'when' then drop the ball and say 'when' when it stopped bouncing. The time we got back were as far as almost a second apart from the stopwatches so we did it like 10 times. JJ seemed to be enoying this, and then Christina managed to produce a marble from somewhere, he got more excited and promised her timmies as well. Then the guy who was writing the results on noticed the crappy com,puter at the front of the class had a crappy mouse with a mouseball in it. JJ thought this was the greatest thing ever and said he had always wanted to bounce one, he kept saying how this was awesome and he was such a nerd.
Mouse balls don't bounce very well btw. Anyways it was amusing overall, and he was laughing it up pretty good by the end. :)
