Week 1

At Monday's lecture, the first lecture of the semester, Dan informed us of Course SLogs. I love the idea of maintaining a blog. I'm sure this will help me review for the final exam.  Dan reminded us that we will not be using Clickers this semester -- which will probably drain out a bit of the motivation that wakes me up early in the morning and drives me into CSC lectures. Dan also mentioned that we will be studying recursion. I remember using recursion to build a function involving the Fibonacci sequence back in high school. That was
interesting.

On Wednesday, I was introduced to Turtle, but not much was done with it.  
Dan demonstrated how flexible Python is by adding instance variables into an already-made class, and by altering methods. He also added something along the lines of, "This should not be done. Use inheritance instead."  We had to read two passages and design the classes described in each text. The two classes we designed: Point; and Denominator. This helped me realize that I need to revisit those built-in methods in the "object" class (i.e. __init__, __repr__, __eq__, __le__, etc.).

We continued working on the Denominator class at Friday's lecture. I like that we worked on the Denominator class because it's such a simple class and I'm sure it's very useful.

During the weekend, I worked on Exercise 1. I've noticed that I have trouble reading the instructions and understanding exactly what our task is -- this was also the case with assignments from CSC108. For instance, in the first part of Exercise 1, the following was provided: "Your function should start with a first guess of 1.0, and continue until the difference between two successive guesses is less than the parameter eps."  I had trouble determining which guess (out of the two successive guesses) to return. Yes, the last guess is more accurate, but would that be the range of accuracy implied by the parameter eps?  I posted my question on the discussion board -- something I am very grateful for. Sadly, I did not end up with a clear answer. I settled with the last guess (rather than the penultimate guess).

Economics

Economics is a big-ass course. So much to study. Ugh.

English Final Tomorrow

Yes, my English final is tomorrow. I feel so under prepared. I remember last semester, I got so lost during the exam. I completely blanked out. I hope the same doesn't happen tomorrow.

These days, all I do is study, study, drink water, eat cake, eat Baristos, and the usuals. I cannot wait for these days to end, but at the same time, I'mma miss 'em like crazy. And future me, if, for some strange reason, you want revisit these couple of days, listen to MIDDLE AMERICA. I're gotten addicted to Twitter. LOL. Yesterday, Nirali retweeted me -- I hate to admit it but that made me extremely happy. I don't know, man, yesterday was a messed up Monday. The Computer Science Culminating Project was due. That group still pisses me off.

Today, I skimmed over One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest. And towards the end of the day, I sent some notes to Shivangi. Such a good girl she is. I remember seeing her in the hallways. Her face looked as though something was troubling her. Short but seems so mature. Remember how she reacts when the topic of lobotomy is brought up. LOL. Alright, I think I'm just gonna turn this into a "Dear Future Me" kinda thing.

"I feel like it's the fourth of July somewhere, somewhere in the middle of America..."

Well, anyways, these are the last days of Rick Hansen. Don't forget these people. Damn, man. Went by for so fast, didn't it? LOL.

Well, anyways, I better stop this and get some good sleep. Bye.

Absurd.

"... we could stare up at the star and put the Beatles on..."; that's the same songs that goes, "I love bad bitches... my fuckin' problem."

"Here we go again..."

What am I getting myself into? I was so close to getting over this girl but I asked her to add me on Whatsapp and we texted for a while. We talked about how I never talk in real life, and how I'm so different online. She said I should talk more. I told her I get nervous. And I said "Plus, you`re fuckin pretty". She replied, "LOL, what?" WTF was I thinking? It's hilarious -- the shit that I say.   

Anyways, today, I used a Canadian bus, alone, for the first time. Neat experience. 

And first thing this morning was my OSSLT. Went well.  

Useless Friday

I accomplished nothing useful yesterday.
