This week in Expoloring the Internet...but more of a rant

This week in the internet course I’m taking we learned about a JavaScript tool called jQuery.  It’s very cool, allows users of my webpage to interact with it, move things around and change colors.  I’m still learning more about what it can do and how I can use it, I’ll report back once I find out more about it.  Quick “school related” rant, in one of my other courses I had an assignment due Sunday night, normally I work on school assignments as much as I can during the week and finish them up over the weekend, well this weekend we had a massive snow storm that took down the power for most of the state, so no internet access at home, after cleaning up as much as I could from the aftermath of the storm I hurriedly complete the assignment and drive to work where there was still power to submit the assignment.  Then, on Monday the instructor sends an email extending the assignments due date by 4 days, this is great but I has already submitted my rushed work, now I know the argument that I shouldn’t wait till the last minute and this wouldn’t have happened, agreed, but it would have been nice to know prior to the due date that there would be an extension, that’s all.  Anyway, the grade I received wasn’t THAT bad and perhaps the instructor didn’t have internet access to have sent the email.  It’s just a little frustrating.  Ok, that’s it, enough of me crying over spilled milk. Till next time.
