boom

Circuit completed. We ended up replacing the switch with a jumper, because at first our circuit didn't work, but I ohmed it out and it turned out that the resistors were switched, therefore providing too much impedance for the LEDs to light up. So we just switched them and tadaa..all worked out.
I'm going to do a virtual version of this board this weekend using a new programme they taught us (which is similar to another that I know), as well as my other online (c0mputer) programming homework (which is actually not due for a week so I could do that over the course of the week, which would be better) and start working on a new board. Trip to electronics store...it calls. My friend and myself decided we were going to get obnoxiously girly s0ldering irons just to piss off people since we are the only females lol. She said she was looking at getting a leopard print one, and I said I'd get an electric pink one with L!sa Frank stickers all over it. Awesome!
