Just looked at my mark for Project 1 for CSC104 and I must say I'm not too happy. My ecosystem.rkt is running perfectly but was marked for having failed tests and not responding to a change in FOXES-START. Problem with this is that when I ran it just now it responded as it should and no tests failed. Unless I somehow uploaded an old version of my ecosystem.rkt (which I highly doubt I did because I remember saving it before uploading) I should have gotten a much better mark on it. Ugh.
On a happier note, I got perfect on test 2 for CSC104. Also, only 2 more weeks of school left. Sadly, my exams don't end until April 26...so late! But at least there's time in between each one for me to study unlike other years.
Anyway, that's all for now. Still mad at the mark for Project 1 but whatever. Peace out.

Tests!!!
Whoopeeeee! Finished two tests this week and feeling pretty good about them again. Now just to study for PHL test which is next Wednesday...
But really, I was pretty scared going into the two tests this week. Too much LoL! But in the end I guess it was fine :D. The first two questions for the CSC104 test were a bit of a pain though. Did not read over the hardware notes as much as I wanted to but I still think I did OK on them. CSC104 seems to be a very common sense/"just use logic" kind of course at the moment. I just put what I would expect to happen. For example, if you incorporate memory into the CPU instead of transferring it through a bus, I'd assume there would be more heat production because of the complexity and size of CPUs nowadays.
School is almost over! Just three more weeks and then l'examinations begin! Five years of university...gone by so fast. And I'm still not as fit as I'd like to be. On that note...time to do some Insanity workout!

Phew!
Phew! Almost missed another CSC104 quiz by not waking up! Haha...I can't bear to lose free marks like that. When I missed the quiz before reading week because I couldn't get up for it, I was just kicking myself for the whole day. Even though each quiz is only worth about 1.5%, it's still a pretty much FREE 1.5%. Eight quizzes, so a free 12%!
On a happier note, I managed to fix my ecosystem.rkt with the help of the prof. And I pretty much finished my Wikipedia assignment. Speaking of which, I never mentioned that we had to do a Wikipedia assignment. Basically, for this assignment, you would make an account on Wikipedia and then "help out" by fixing and/or adding content to pages that require looking over. I guess I might read over a couple more articles and copy-edit those as well just because it's pretty straightforward.
Anyway, another busy two weeks lie ahead of me. Two tests next week and one + an assignment the week after :(. So that's all for now!

ecosystem.rkt
It feels good not having anymore tests for the next few weeks! Although I still have a few assignments to do; one of which I'm having some difficulty completing at the moment. For CSC104, we have to make an "ecosystem" in Dr. Racket. You have a picture of a fox and a mouse, and over time the pictures scale according to one another. So, a large fox picture means there are very few mice and thus a small mouse picture, and vice-versa. But my ecosystem is not very ecosystem-like. Instead of continuously growing and shrinking in size, my ecosystem only "ticks" once. Anyone else having this problem? I'm not sure how to fix this...
