Okay dudes, I’m currently on a high: I just submitted my first assignment — a bit of very basic Java code involving the calculation of compound interest. (Riveting stuff, I know…)

That, however, is not the exciting part.

No, the exciting part is that I submitted it a full two weeks early.

Furthermore, this afternoon I had a slight mishap while using the rm command to clean up my assignment directory before submission — every file in the directory was deleted. Luckily, I’d just run a less command on my main file and was able to reconstruct most of my work from that. Reminder: never use rm without the -i option!
