What are the Three Important Skills of Successful Programmers?

If you readers are good at picking up hints, you may have already caught on that this blog entry is totally serious; as in no jokes, no sarcasm, no idiocity.

Today Mr.Arkin explained to us the 3 most important things associated with becoming a successful programmer. ( My advice to you guys :  Don't ask questions. Jus follow the rules. - just kidding.....partially ...)

After that, Mr.Arkin went over to three logical solution to repetition assignment number 8. One of them, Mr. Arkin had previously told me. (I felt special. Ha! )

BTW, just some cool info; Mr.Arkin's favourite datatype is boolean. Cool eh?

The rest of the period was spent continuing to work on our assignments. For most of us. While everyone else was working on their repetition assignments, I went to Mr.Arkin to ask for some well-needed help. (Seriously, arrays are so NOT my field of expertise - technically speaking I'm still an amateur at EVERYTHING....but still)

Thankfully, I was able to somewhat grasp the concept of arrays...not quite.

Anyways, I've made up my mind to talk to you guys (ONLY for today) about my other classes.... I've noticed that I've never done that. I'll go in order.

Period A : Computers - 'As described above'

Period B : Geography - We got back our test which I'm surprised to see that I did really good on. (Don't give me that look, I honestly studied hard for that)

Period C : English - We got back 3 pieces of marks out of which I didn't do so great on 1 of them. (Oh, I passed alright..... - it's sort of an Indian fail though)

Period D : Art - I spent 2 days working on a masterpiece (according to me), just to have my art teacher say that it was a load of rubbish. (The name of the teacher remains classified information. )

As you guys (and girls) can plainly see, my day has been an up and down roller coaster.

One piece of advice to you; YOU GUYS ARE IN IB. YOU ARE EXPECTED TO GO ABOVE AND BEYOND THE EXPECTATIONS.

That was sort of an inspiration from my english teacher....who by the way had my entire english class in a frenzy from her "little speech".

Anyways, each day is important and can't be re-lived.
