Testing... Testing... 1... 2... 3...

Well, setting up a proctor is turning out to be a bit of a mess, but it seems I found people willing to help. Hopefully that librarian will help and that'll be the end of it. I didn't plan to involve the entire Japanese department. Hopefully it all turns out in the end. I made an appointment for the test. I made it in the Central Time Zone so hopefully that is right. I'm not worried about the test, just setting up the test. Especially since I leave for Amsterdam this weekend right after.

As far as the code is going. It's going well. Brian's not my partner, but he's really helped and now he has more of an idea of how to get his to work, too. Alisa's been too busy to help even a little so Brian is really a life-saver. I hope to do more testing today, I am pretty confident I have it completed. I might need to look into my error-handling a bit more though.

Programming Without A Monitor

I honestly might as well. I have to assume my code will work and keep going. The only thing I am sure of it is that it builds. And I'm not even sure of that. One of my project that MUST HAVE WORKED suddenly stopped working. There's noooooo way it wasn't. It's giving me errors about not having a default constructor for my struct. That was never a problem before and Alisa's code runs just fine without it. How is that possible?
I can't test my code.
I just can't.
Nothing I try works. Because some jerks couldn't make their textures work on embedded graphics cards, I can't do anything. I brought three computers and an Xbox to Germany and I can't do my final project. Ogren tried to help me last night, but he could not log in. I don't know why. I used the code with my actually XBox Live account and registered it and everything and it works for me. There's no way I can install all this equipment on someone else's computer and they all have tiny netbooks anyway. And the people in the class mostly ignore my existence except Alisa, but she's so busy. Only once this week did she have time to help me and it was three hours I was not here for.
Furthermore, I need to find and convince some professor to sit around  with me for 3 hours while I take a test. And I cannot even give them much forewarning. If I can't find one Monday, I cannot take the final. There's a 48 hour approval time frame and the test must be completed by Friday and so I need to take it Thursday since I won't be here Friday. I guess theoretically, I could take it Wednesday in the late afternoon. But they say they need to be approved 48 hours in advance, not apply to be, so when - I don't even know.
I really wanted to take this class, now it's doing everything in its power to fail me.

???? Profit

So I managed to make my way around Microsoft's cruel attempt to charge people to develop on Live and finally got both accounts working. Since I cannot run two computers, I am not sure how helpful that is though. I haven't had much time to program and I am a bit worried. I think I might be ahead of people in terms of work and understanding though. If I can get some time, I can power through it. I wish I had the same finals week everyone else did to relax and focus. This weekend I should have time...
