Oh so sore...

Good afternoon fellow readers (mainly CSC104 students I'd assume :P). Man, it sucks being unfit and playing badminton after not playing for 3 years... My whole body is still sore from Friday's 4 hour session. I really have to start my Insanity workout again (and keep up/continue with it)! It sucks that my laptop's sound card doesn't work anymore; otherwise I could be doing it at home for reading week right now.

On a happier note, I almost got my first 100% in university with my CSC104 test! I was surprised the only spot I lost marks on was the programming part - especially when I said that it was super easy... Only lost 1.5 marks though so it's still okay. I'm sort of a techie person so I think I have an easier time grasping the concepts presented in class compared to others. For me, I can understand what a piece of code does without having to actually enter that code into Dr. Racket myself (at the moment at least...). It might be difficult for others though, so as a tip, I think it is still a good idea to run a certain code yourself just so you understand what values it consumes and produces.

A busy reading week lies ahead of me - an assignment due the week back and a test too! Gotta study study study! Ugh...

SNOW!!!

HOLY MOTHER OF SNOW; THERE'S SO MUCH! It hasn't stopped snowing since roughly 4pm yesterday and there's about 22cm +/- 3cm of snow on the ground now. The snow meant for Christmas has finally arrived! :D A decent way to end off my week of madness I'd say. Finished my three tests, and I have to say, I'm feeling pretty confident about all of them.  The only one where I'm afraid I won't do superbly well in is CSC104. Answers were posted right after the test and I think I did the questions correctly but can't quite remember... Overall it was an easy test - all of the programming questions were a piece of cake. Alright I'm going to go play in the snow now :D.

This is madness!

Three tests this upcoming week - all of which are pretty much back to back. Wednesday 9am, Thursday 9am and 6pm. Ugh, this is madness! Not really. After 5 years of university, I've gotten pretty used to weeks like these. Man, I wish I could use "check-expect" (used in Dr. Racket to see if the code following this was run correctly) during tests to see if I failed a given question or not lol! At least I feel sort of ready for two of the tests already - one of which is CSC104. If the majority of the CSC104 test consists of codes and what to expect from them then I should do reasonably well I think. Or if you want to think of the last sentence in standard form: P --> R, where P = "the majority of the CSC104 test consists of codes and what to expect from them" and R = "I should do reasonably well I think" (this is what I have to do for one of my other tests). The prof said that it will also contain questions regarding lecture slides; so stuff like algorithms and the history of computers. I should really figure out the algorithm for the number of ups and downs that are created as you keep folding paper in half. Okay, I think I'll do that now and then go back to studying...
