torquillShe's gotten better at writing exams.
Nothing weird on it, no stupidity. Some of the questions were even clever. Very little ambiguity, asking basic things that we really should know, if you concede that memorizing the amino acids is worthwhile. I think that if I didn't nail it to the wall, I came damn close. If I did, that may be enough to bump me to an A.
Right now I managed to score a sit-down in the MU computer lab. The downsides are 1) this keyboard is one of the worst I've used in a long time (it feels like I have to punch the keys like on a 1950s typewriter) and 2) even though I can connect to my screen session via SSH, Terminal.app grabs the page-up and page-down commands so that I can't use lily. Blargh.
I dislike Macs anyway. While the hardware (even on an iLamp like this) is adequate, Aqua still gives me the jeebies, and I expect things to work in ways they don't. Like the terminal window.
I missed my train by ten minutes. Waiting for the next one. Then it's good food and Torchwood with![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)

The one thing I wish OS X did was allow for different styles of window managers, so people who don't want lickable interfaces wouldn't need to use them.
Oh, and being a long-time Mac front-end, Linux back-end user, I remember the first thing I did when I loaded OS X on my Mac: opened Terminal.app and ran bash. When I first saw that prompt, and I knew that I wasn't ssh-ed into some other box--that prompt was coming from a process right there on my Mac--I wept tears of joy.
*shrug* I guess I really like the idea of something that looks like a Fisher Price toy, but is really a serious tool under the bright colors. ;)
Unto each their own.
