Hey everyone!
I finally got my assignment mark back! It took so long for some of us for some reason. Other students got their mark back roughly 3-5 days before I did. It was pretty stressful waiting for the marks. Thankfully that's over and I'm happy with my mark, so everything is alright.
Aside from that, the CSC236 lectures have been alright. The material looked pretty difficult at the beginning, but I am slowly getting a grasp of things. There is definitely a huge change in difficulty from the work at the beginning of the semester to the work we are doing now. I was also a bit behind in the material because I spent one of the lectures trying to figure out the second assignment rather than actually paying attention. I'm all caught up though, so it's alright.
The past couple weeks have been so relaxing. I don't have that many hours of classes and on top of that I didn't have any test or assignments due. But now, I have a quiz tomorrow, a midterm Thursday, 2 midterms and the second assignment for this class due Friday, and then the midterm for this class the Monday after that! (You can pity me now). I'm actually kind of looking forward to this week, which may sound weird, because I like being busy. These past 2 weeks have been great, but some of the days I was pretty bored. Also, the feeling you get after finishing such a hectic week is amazing. It feels like you can just lie down and not care about anything. It's so relaxing. The sad thing is that I can't fully enjoy Halloween because of all the work coming up.
This was sent to me and it pretty much sums up my life at the moment: http://whatshouldwecallmcgill.tumblr.com/post/34358018055/not-being-able-to-fully-enjoy-halloween-because-i-have
Anyways time to get back to work! No pain no gain!
Wish me luck!

Over One Hurdle
Hey everyone!
Alright so this week was not that bad. We got our marks back for the midterm (I did well, so I'm not complaining), and we should be getting our marks back for our first assignment any day now. Apparently, someone in another timezone is marking the last question of the assignment... I don't understand why the professor just doesn't get some TA at the university to mark that last question instead of someone in another province. It doesn't really matter, but I just find it a bit weird. Maybe the person marking the last question is some sort of super genius... Hmm...
Just when I thought we would have a little break in this course, the second assignment gets assigned. I guess this is what you get once you start paying for school. Constant work. I shouldn't really be complaining since my class schedule is pretty empty.
Anyways, Halloween is coming up and I'm trying to decide on a costume. My choices right now are: Abed from Community, a Rubik's Cube, Obama (just a mask of Obama's face), or the Old Spice guy from the commercials. Hopefully, I can come up with some more ideas. If you have any ideas on what I should be, please leave a comment below. I'd appreciate it. It has to be really COOL though. I'm just kidding, it can be anything.
Alright, well it's Friday night so that means it's fiesta time!

Midterm Master (Hopefully)
Hey everyone!
Alright, so we just had our CSC236 midterm this morning, and I don't know about you guys, but I thought it went pretty well. Hopefully I don't jinx myself! Maybe it was from all the studying I did.... or maybe it was just pure luck, who knows. Hopefully the next midterm goes as well as the one today.
Not much else has happened in the course so far, since it was just Thanksgiving weekend, but I'm sure the hard parts of the course are about to be introduced. Honestly, I don't even want to think about that. It's just going to cause more stress for me.
I'm going to sleep as much as I can while I still understand what is going on in the course.
By the way, I don't know if you guys know but it's CAT WEEK this week! I was thinking of wearing cat shirts the whole cat week, but then I decided I don't want to be looked at as a 'weirdo'. Anyways, here is a really interesting blog about cats that my friend (Jennifer) made for school: http://catz4life.blogspot.ca/
I'm sure she would love to read your comments about it. Hope you enjoy it!

The Headache Begins
Hi!
Welcome to CSC236 inside my head. This blog will give you insight into what I feel and think about CSC236 during the course of this semester.
Right now, this course doesn't seem that bad, but I probably just jinxed myself. Oh well, I guess I just have to hope for the best. I have the first assignment for this course due tomorrow, and luckily I started early so I am not panicking just yet. The last question seemed the toughest but hopefully I got it correct.
Also, I just realized that the first midterm for this class is next week! I've got to step-up my studying now. My fingers are crossed that the exam won't be that bad. Also I hate typing math up on the computer. There are so many little symbols that needs to be used! I wish we were allowed to write out our assignments by hand!
Anyways, I need to go take a nap. Too much excitement from this course...
