 -Using loops in scripts
 - Finding and using other commands such as cut, head, tail, sort, sed, etc.

+Been working on the grade calculator this week. I definitely feel like I have greatly progressed as far as script writing and basic usage of regular expressions are concerned. Still have a long way to go before I begin to feel fluent with regular expressions. I have come to find that my greatest obstacle all semester has not been implementing the knowledge that I have learned. But rather finding the information outside of class. Oddly enough the hardest information for me to find is usually more trivial in the grand scheme of things. Something simple like not leaving a space after the "=" assignment operator of a variable is often so much more difficult for me to find than how to actually assign the variable. I definitely feel that my main bottleneck for this Linux class has been locating my desired information outside of class. Maybe this means I should investigate new research strategies. Today I learned that I should start researching all the possible directions my major can go. The more I experiment with what I like to do now, the easier it will be to pick a focus topic down the road.

+- Capture JUST the PROJECTS category as produced by the status tool?
+ status unix | grep 'final tally'
+- Determine the total number of projects evaluated?
+status unix | grep -v 'bonus' | grep -c 'final tally'
+- Figure out which project(s) was/were worth the most points?
+- Figure out which project(s) was/were worth the least amount of points?
+- Figure out the total number of project points available?
+TotPosPoints=`status unix | grep 'final tally' | cut -d')' -f1 |

+Final week. Learned alot about looping this week and last week with the eoce projects. I accidentally misread the instructions to the full moon finding script and because of this I added a whole extra "countdown" function that was not even required.  I am feeling pretty confident about linux in general. More importantly I am confident in my ability to find and learn new information as necessary. One thing that struck me interesting earlier today was that I have yet to use the GUI version of linux. One of my fellow students was telling me he recently installed a linux system and is still trying to figure it out. He said it took him forever to install a program. It crossed my mind that I may not have ever done that during this course. Or if I did I guess I didn't totally understand that that is what I was doing. I recently saw a couple open positions for linux administrators. It made me wonder what else I would need to know before I am qualified for that position.
