6. What progress did you make today on your solution? What needs to be completed next class?
Today I finished making my dice and planned out my code. Next class I plan to type at least half my code. I may complete part (or most) of this at lunch. I plan to take the book home to study some concepts to expedite finishing the programming. Note: I should have taken Web Design.

2. What choices did you face in developing your solution, and how did you choose among them?
Today I had a problem deciding whether or not to put the dice dots on all sides of the dice or just on the side facing forward. I have decided I will put dice dots on all sides (yes, I'm obsessive-compulsive...) and tomorrow I will finish editing them. Hopefully I will be able to take a book home tonight and work on the code on my computer, or else I probably won't finish the project by tomorrow. As a side note, I'm very proud of how cool my dice look :)

Today I read many World of Warcraft comics. I also read some of European History for Dummies. Apparently among the ten Europeans who dominated the continent are Napoleon, Hitler, the Volkswagen 'beetle', pasta, and ABBA. Napoleon also apparently hid from his guards on Elba to make them think he had escaped so as to give the British governor heart failure.

Today I read part of Eclipse by Stephenie Meyer. It's the third in a trilogy about a girl named Bella who falls in love with a vampire named Edward. In this particular excerpt, they had just returned from visiting Bella's mother in Jacksonville. They get back, and Bella finally finds out that Edward was so anxious to get them away from Forks, Washington where they live because a vampire with a grudge against them was coming to kill Bella. Bella was upset that Edward hadn't told her and made him promise to tell her next time.

4. Are there any specific tips you would give to someone else tackling the same problem? How would what you suggest benefit that person in solving the problem?
Today I was answering the questions at the beginning of Step 4. If anyone else was working on this I would advise them to look at the questions first. They should then read the chapter and try to absorb and understand it. After this, they should read the questions one at a time and look for the answer within the material they had just read. This way, they would learn better than if they just skimmed for the answers.

3. How did you go about testing your program? What were the results of that testing?
To test my program, I entered the numbers in the book. For both exercises 3 and 4 my program yielded the same answer that was displayed in the book. However, the messages displayed were different, due to my own style. For example: instead of "The package is both too heavy and too large" I said "Basically you fail all around."

Today I read part of Memoirs of a Geisha. It is a very good movie, and an almost better book. Usually the book is much better than the movie, but these might be equal. I also read about the Sony Reader (that will be my Christmas present to myself this year...). ThinkGeek.com also has a shirt that detects and shows WiFi signals nearby.

6. What progress did you make today on your solution? What needs to be completed next class?
Today I finished Exercise 3. This exercise was about making copies and predicting the prices of them, and the overall price. I finished this using the Select Case function. I also started on Exercise 4. Monday I will hopefully finish up Step 3 and make significant progress in catching up.
P.S. I was absent yesterday and Wednesday I was in the College Career center.
