Completely understandable, and I hope you made it home in time for
school :-)

Of course, it doesn't matter if you continue François' floppy driver or
start with the file system first (to work on images as a start), but if
you start with file systems, I would suggest that you look at a simple
(possibly even read-only) file system like ext2, or cdda.
