A late night at Kinkos

I am annoyed. Texas instruments has a software package called "Code Composer" studio on the market that I am using. I cannot find all the necessary files to do all the tutorials. We've been through numerous lab sessions but I need to dive in deeper to the debugging section to understand snippets of code and am missing files. even worse was that class was cancelled tonight. We are far behind in that class and I do not want a sprint to the finish due to lack of planning. My laziness is not a factor here because I WANT to go ahead and do this stuff.

I have the help files neatly printed thanks to Kinkos. Which by the way is only open until 11pm everyday instead of the 24 hours it used to be. That is horrible. I have actually been in there at three am and always found it to be comforting that I could go in whenever and print out whatever I needed. sigh....

Still no luck with the speech recognition although I am mounting a new plan of attack. One of the biggest gripes I have about UWM's EE program is the lack of required programming classes. I don't have many but this one is huge. Right now I am competing with a number of well schooled CE's who have the experience and don't care about power grids. I know how most of them work but really don't care.

Now it seems that I am suppost to know C hands down. I know a little. and I am learning now but I have to work three times harder than the others because they have the skills needed to get the code written while I am reading chapters of "A book on C" late at night (Think tonight). That book however is a really great book. I just need time to read it.
