 As far as the cursor program, when I first started working on it I assumed it would be a giant headache figuring out how to plot where to print to, because thats all that it requires.  It turns out after looking at it and playing around with it for an hour or two, that you only need four sequential for loops embedded within a standard i counter loop, with some variation on conditions based on the i value to get it to function properly.  The only thing that is a little annoying about ncurses is that when you test your program to see if it runs properly, you're just staring at a blinking moving cursor around the screen.  It almost strains your eyes after a while.  Hopefully I don't have the tetris effect of that animation when I go to sleep.

+This week starts the last week of the semester.  It seems like it has gone by really fast.  The fastest of the three semesters I have been attending college.  I have taken a deeper look into the end of course experience and am comfortable that I will be able to maintain a solid pace to finish it on time.  Especially since my finals week isn't too rigorous this semester.
+In class we're continuing to look at ncurses and are creating an ncurses pacman game.  This project branches out further in my opinion than any we have done thus far.  We're getting into multi file implementations, which is always nice to gain experience with.  So far we are working on getting the attributes of what we are going to print to the screen finished.  Hopefully tomorrow in class we can finish creating the game field at the very least.  I feel like we can get further than that for sure.

+So this is going to be my last opus entry for the standard opus outside of the eoce.  I am working through the end of course experience now and it seems to be going smoothly.  We have covered so much but it is nice that I have so many examples, and can reliably find information on my own to figure things out now in a manner that is more efficient previous to me taking this class.  I am confident I will finish on time.
+Whether or not I will need to come in to class to clear some things up is still up in the air, but hopefully I don't have to make an extra trip up to the college to finish it up.  Going forward I am looking forward to taking data structures.  I feel that systems programming is a nice gap class to have taken to learn a lot of new things, that I will be able to apply during data structures.
