College is easy
The last time I wrote, I said that I had a lot of work this week. Well, I can say I am about halfway done with it. At least the hardest assignments are complete. 15-212 was done yesterday (ugh, the day after yesterday). I just finished my CDM homework. (People won't figure out what 354 means, and Computational Discrete Math just sounds, well, as difficult as the material is.)
I have Stats homework to do, I have a Music Systems program due Friday (which will get done tomorrow night (tonight) because doing homework on Friday night is lame), then sometime this weekend I have to get my Econ homework done. Wow. I will probably opt out of Kiltie Band rehearsal tomorrow (this afternoon). Depends on how much I get done while I am at school.
In Competition Programming this week, we did individuals again as they are still trying to evaluate where everyone is. I had done a couple of the problems in the eight-problem set on my own before the course started, so I thought I had an advantage, right? Wrong! There was a problem involving a lattice of trees getting watered that I started on first, and never figured out what the bug was. I did solve three other problems: a geometry problem involving counting distinct triangles, a very easy coordinate program, and a prime numbers problem. I probably could have done another problem which at first I thought was a scheduling/dynamic programming problem but it wasn't that difficult at all. When I am done with all my homework I'm figuring out this damn problem I couldn't debug. It will probably be something ridiculously obscure only visible to six eyes and not two.
For Roger, I'm supposed to replace in the beta of Audacity the code for Allegro (a music notation language he wrote) with a new version of it. I don't think it will be THAT difficult, if I can just find a couple hours to do work on it. I bet I will have those hours between classes on Friday.
And if I thought I was out of the woods, I made a little file on my desktop called death.txt. Here's what it says:
Mo Oct 9 - 36-225 exam
We Oct 11 - 73-100 exam
We Oct 11 - 15-212 due
Fr oct 13 - 15-395 due
Mo Oct 16 - 15-395 midterm
Tu Oct 17 - 15-354 midterm
Th Oct 19 - 15-212 midterm
Will next week be a week of reprieve or a week of preparation for the inevitable?
