Schoolyear’s over

June 10, 2006 on 7:45 pm | In Computing, Life, School |

Well, that’s the end of the schoolyear coming up soon.
Yesterday (Friday, 9th of June) I handed in my last portfolios. Next Monday I’ll hear what’ll happen: Pass, Doubt or Fail.

In the case of doubt, the assessors are either uncertain whether the portfolio (and thus my knowledge of the subjects) is sufficient, or it if they’re uncertain which grade to give me. In such a case, I will have to come to assessments this Tuesday - which are sort of oral exams.

I’m not very certain about either subject, because they’re not my best subjects, but also because the teachers might be aiming too highly. Hence my expectance of two Doubts. Still, I’ve passed the year in none the less, so that’s nice.

Starting next year I’ll only have the subjects I chose. One subject per half year:

  • Create a game
  • Object Oriented Programming
  • Create an information system (database related programming)

But first the assessments and then 8 (or more) weeks of vacation :-)
Plenty of time to work on software and, most importantly, get the hosting company running properly. We went to the Chamber of Commerce the other day to get some information about starting a company. Got some interesting information about tax cuts and subsidies as well (two of the four of us are blind), so that’ll be great.

  1. So you’re going through with this hosting thing, then? Ah well, stay off my turf. ;)

  2. On a more serious note though, with relation to what I just said, hunt out local markets - they can be very helpful in getting your company going. That’s what I did - ie, offer web hosting to small businesses and individuals in the area. You’ll probably have more success that way, word of mouth is a wonderful thing.

  3. Well yes, my two classmates already have a lot of friends, relatives and family that want to get hosted / webdesigned by us, so we’ll have no trouble making it through the first year without losing money :)

    I’m secretly considering to stay with Zernebok for my own site just so I can keep you as a friend ;) :P
