  • 2006-05-16 15:51:45 1 more exam left

    ...I'm hoping that most people end up failing this one (wouldn't be suprised since exam scores have been 65%, 53% and 54%...pretty pathetic)
    all I have to do is get the average (or near the average) score and I pass for sure
    (usually I wouldn't be too happy with a C, but my instructor just plain sucked)

    progarmming went better than expected (actually easier than the midterm imo)...still waiting to get grades back from my assignments (been waiting for about a month on one)

    After my last exam I get to go back home (and work full time...again. But hey! I get free pizza) which means I won't be on as often (perhaps bi-weekly, if that)

    to the 13 or so people who actually read (or at least click on) this, see you in the fall 
  • 2006-05-16 00:11:01 2 down 2 to go
    up next is intermediate computer programming
    on deck is Physics

    Calc final...some brutal stuff
    find if the integral of:
    f(x) = ln|n| / ln| ln|n| |
    (natural log of n divided by the natural log of the natural log of n)
    diverges, converges conditionally or converges absolutely

    *I think I can... I think I can

    but in the end, I own all ^_^

    My last programming assignment came down to the wire. 2 problems kept me working on it all of yesterday and most of today. (old programming saying, "80% of the bugs are in 20% of the code")

    The first problem was a challange...switch a variable (type string) to the name of something that doesn't have a name

    The second problem was just plain evil. Import a file in a specific format. The format we had to import was different from the format of how the information was stored and displayed in the program.
    Turns out that I probably solved this problem more than once...I just...kinda...forgot to switch something from false to true... and it gave me bad test results.

    all in all, I only missed one part...I didn't have time to check to see if names were alphanumeric
    turned it in with < 4 minutes to spare (and this was for late submission...regular submission ended friday at 11:59:59 pm)

    I didn't slack off/procrastinate either...it was just that hard

    now I get to study for 2 finals tomorrow...fun. 
  • 2006-05-11 12:34:42 WHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOT!

    Survived freshman year at college.
    Classes = done
    I can sleep in tomorrow...and Saturady and Sunday =D
    looking back on the semester...it sucked. Almost lost my mind...
    Calc2 + Physics1 + Programming2 = @_@

    Finals next week...still have homework to do before studying

    ...maybe now I can start working on my amv (only 4-5 months late)

  • 2006-04-24 18:03:44 so busy
    @_@

    my physics professor dropped out on us (he quit in the middle of the semester too...)
    no rest for the student (his lectures were getting to the point where I could've skipped them without much consequence)

    calc2 exam 2: A
    happy about that. the part that I was worried about the day before went off without a hitch (the true/false section killed me...I know what you're thinking. True/false on a math test? but it's harder than it sounds...and it is possible). I blame physics (probably equally my fault too, but it's more fun to blame something)
    class avg: 56%

    ~3 weeks left this semester, it always goes faster if you don't count

    Managed to find the second memory slot on my laptop...but I gotta say they (HP) didn't make it easy.
    Instead of including it in the documentation included with the product they decided to merge two similar models in a fix/replace guide...makes too much sense to put a link to that in the manual they pointed me to.
    [the manual wasn't printed...online only]

    hopefully this will solve my memory access violations when using Huffyuv
