Never Ending MGatot in Endless Rain

It's raining very hard now. In fact, it has been raining for 3 straight hours and I'm stuck here at a cafe near the campus. I'm with my colleague now and we're talking about many things, including my game project, while waiting for the rain to stop.

Talking about games, we have received the feedback from the lecturer this morning. We could understand the feedback well, but the program still couldn't run. We have re-checked the source code over and over again. We have matched the names of the files, and even the capital letter, but still no positive outcome T.T

I wonder how those programmers can handle this kind of problem. Repeating the same step over and over again. Wish I could rent a programmer's brain for 2 nights or so, just to finish this project successfully :p

Anyway, during my confusion about the game for the mid-term test, I've just got an idea for my final project game. The idea comes from my conversation with this colleague of mine. It's still a rough idea, though. Well, I do hope that I can realize this idea into a real game ^^

This topic reminds me of the reading materials that I taught today. It's about the changing dream and wanted carreer. The article talks about how occupation has changed from a century ago up to the present day, and what it will be in the future. According to the writer, the dominating job back then was the "manual workers", meaning that the popular jobs were the ones that counted mostly on the strength or physical ability of a person, such as labours, construction workers, etc. Nowadays, it has shifted and formed something new called "knowledge society". It is the job that requires knowledge or a serious thought, such as lawyers, teachers, etc. As for the future, the dominating job will be from the field of technology. The writer call them as "knowledge technologists". This emerges from the fact that the world today is very influenced and controlled as well as depends on the use of technology. Therefore, the writer predicts that in the future, it is those people who have good knowledge on technology that will be needed badly.

Reading that idea, I automatically thought about my profession now as an educator and also the major I have chosen for my Master's degree: Technology Education. The name seems promising, right? I feel that I'm on the right track if I want to survive in the future. I just need more determination to deal with things that I don't really favor and understand, just like this game. So I thought, "how can I survive in the future world filled with technology sophisticated people if I can't pass this?". From that point, I now have additional motivation to finish the project game with my partner well. We have made another appointment tomorrow to "get dizzy" with the source code and friends :)

Well, I guess that's it for today. The rain has just stopped and now I really want to go home and crash my bed ^^ See you again soon and God bless!!

Nice Way to Start My Monday!!

Hi all!! Miss me? No? Okay, no hard feelings :p This is my first post after the assignment where I had to report my progress on the Game Project is done! Meaning to say: this is my first post that I write because I want to. Well, actually it is greatly influenced by my beloved students :) I temporarily teach at a local university in my city, and this semester I have the chance to teach this great class called CRW. It stands for Critical Reading and Writing. At first, it felt like a nightmare! Why? 'coz it is 4 credits in a row!! Can you imagine teaching for more or less 3,5 straight hours?? I was confused of what to do so that they wouldn't sleep out of boredom. Fortunately, they are great students ^^ They're very cooperative and we're just like friends :) Since they are the subject of my thesis, so I ask them to make a blog each. Looking at their blogs made me think. I should also do the same thing like what I've asked them to do. So, here I am, back to writing so...

Four Days Synopsis

Olla ^^ I have to say that the past 4 days were not my best days :p There's so much going on. Some old problems added up with some new troubles, so I couldn't take it anymore, at least my body protested first, forcing me to take some really good rest without any disturbance. I shouldn't tell you ALL my problems 'coz that will make this blog seems pathetic, right ^^ I just can say: dealing with emotions WELL is not one of my characteristics. I'd say it sucks! That's exactly why I prefer dealing with animals rather than people, coz animals, esp dogs, never lie. They're straightforward; everytime they make mistakes, they apologize and try to make it up to us. Needless to say, only a few people do the same thing in the exact same situation. Living on our own in peace is much better than living with other people full of arguments, suspicions and anger. But, hey, that's only my personal opinion :) Now, since I've been absent from blogging for about 4 days,...
