"The Bears are who we thought they were!"

If you haven't watched ESPN at all today, then you've probably missed watching Dennis Green lose it:


I don't think anyone blames him. I'd be pissed too if my OFFENSE squandered a 20 point lead. I'd probably fire the offensive coordinator immediately. OH WAIT.

So I've had two midterms. The first one, in Music Systems, was pretty good. Not studying would have definitely been bad because I wouldn't know what articles to find the answers in.

Today, Computational Discrete Math, was alright. I think I got all the answers except a question about LOOP-computability. How do you compute n^3 with LOOP-depth 2? Thinking there was a closed form like there is with the squares (n^2 is the sum of the the nth and the n-1th triangular numbers), I wrote "From 251, there is some closed form that is trivially written in a LOOP-2 program." Yeah, that's 20 points I will not be receiving. But the rest of the exam I think I nailed.

I have 212 left on Thursday to finish my week. I think I have a good approach to doing these kinds of functional reasoning problems, but that's no reason not to study and to practice. If only they would release past exams with AND without the answers to practice the timing. Speaking with a few people about their midterms this week, timing is crucial.
