This is my first coding assignment for my software engineering class that started today. It’s going to be a really good semester.

UPDATE: I got my grade back and

“100″

Since this post has gotten some attention, I feel like it’s worth mentioning that this was just the first half of the assignment.

The second half, which we weren’t made aware of until the day we were meant to turn this one in, was to trade USB drives with the person sitting next to us and MODIFY their “unreadable” code without getting any help from them.

This was to teach us two things:

1) In this field, you’ll spend more time working with code written by other people than you will writing original code from a blank slate. The people who wrote the original code will probably not be around to help you. Learning to read code is IMPORTANT, even if it seems unreadable.

2) There is a strong brotherhood/sisterhood among programmers and software engineers. Respect that bond when you’re writing code and documentation. In my professor’s words: “When you write code, pretend that the person who will have to maintain it after you’re gone is a homicidal maniac who knows where you live.”

This class and professor are incredible.

ok, story.

So when I was thirteen-ish I saw this therapist, who was like…WASPy Southern Belle heterosexual to the max. And I this nervous little Jewish lesbian in the South all scared and depressed and blah blah blah.

And I told her once about a dream I had where I asked a girl out and she rejected me for being “too Jewish”, and the therapist was shocked

She was all, “you’re a Jewish lesbian in your dreams?”

and I was like, “…as I am in life?”

and she went, “But I thought in dreams we all went back to the default and everyone became normal people.”

“No. I’m Jewish and gay all the time.”

“Isn’t that exhausting?” 

“…kind of?” 

?????

Imagine going through life seeing your background/self as “default”! Imagine thinking everyone became like you while unconscious! Imagine!

I… would not have known what to do, here.

“The default” like bitch we’re not all born white straight protestants and then decide later to not be.
