Intertubez

So
I like was like "hey, I have a third level c++ course this semester"

So then, like "WHOA"

Should actually know c++ or something.

I got into a bind. I need to know this now, but then "CLASSES, WAHT IS THIS MADNESS, STAPH"

C felt like a joke compared to c++.

I looked through textbooks, pounding my head into my desk (which is actually a bed, more on that later)

Realizing I was ignoring the best educational resource evar, I went on the INTERNETZ. Checking out many a reference site, it was all drab dreary sadfaced stuff that shouldn't exist in it's poor pathetic form.

The tubes failed me I thought. 

Then I realized "the tubes... the tubes.. YOUTUBE"

Checking out video after video, I kept finding places that offered you like 2-3 videos, then you had to pay... and the videos were long form (45+ minutes), hard to navigate, and horrifically boring.

then saw one with a goofy face

and was like "you can't be serious"

Then... it wasn't serious. Burrito was the class of choice. Things were witty, jokes were common, and tacos were discussed. We sang, drank, and err, sorry, wrong movie.

So I watched a video, then another... 55 videos later I was like "I KNOW ALL THE CODE, I AM THORKI!" err wut I mean, I can code better now. Got my projects done, and saved the world. 

Btw, tip for internet writing, always speak in hyperbole, it's more fun.

Thank you Bucky Roberts for inventing TheNewBoston.org, teaching me how to code, and letting the world know how to make beer.
