I said yesterday that I took three hours’ worth of exams. I took a calculus exam for 1.5 hours, then 15 minutes after, took a computer science exam.
The calculus one was ridiculously difficult, not because I didn’t recognize the material, but because they were worded so trickily and I kept making basic arithmetic errors that I kept discovering five minutes after making them (like seeing 4 and 2 and thinking they add up to 5).
The computer science one wasn’t exactly hard, and I always do well on everything related to computer science, but for some reason, I have a feeling that I made pathetically basic mistakes similar to the ones I made in the calculus exam. I finished the 1.5-hour exam in about an hour, and while I was leaving the testing site, everyone gave me odd looks because I finished so quickly.
Also, this is sort of random, but a local newspaper company that I work for is having issues with its YouTube account (which I currently manage), and even though I posted on the support forum five days ago asking for help, all the Google employees appear to be blatantly ignoring me. This is starting to annoy me, so if you have some spare time, please take a look at my thread and reply to it so it keeps bumping it to the top and increasing the number of replies, hopefully making it more noticeable. I have established that assistance from an employee is necessary to find a solution to my problem, but if you want to pretend like you’re helping me solve the problem, then that’s fine too.

What I’m Watching
Believe it or not, last week, I watched
Fred: The Movie.
I know that I freely admit the fact that
Fred is my least favorite YouTube star, but I heard that John Cena was in the
Fred movie so I decided that it was worth watching. Fortunately, Fred is significantly older in the movie than he is in his YouTube series, so his voice is lower and is less annoying. The main idea of the movie is that Fred’s crush, Judy, used to live a few homes away, but ends up moving to a completely different place farther away. Fred is now on a mission to find Judy and “save” her, and goes through many obstacles to find her new house.
I’m having difficulty making a fair judgment of the movie because it’s so oriented towards children. I only thought it was slightly funny because of how stupid most of it was. John Cena doesn’t really have that significant of a role in the movie; he plays Fred’s dad, and only appears shortly to give Fred some advice, and later in Fred’s dream.
If you watch the Fred YouTube series, I would probably recommend this movie (assuming that you only watch Fred because you like him or his show). If you’re looking for an actual conventional movie to watch,
Fred: The Movie is not something you would want to watch. However, if you have a large online presence, watching
Fred: The Movie might be important as it may become common knowledge among online communities, and be a milestone for YouTubers as this is the first movie starring someone that became famous solely through YouTube.
