Reflection on Week 2.12

I think I'll actually try in this class from now on. That 92 is a rather unpleasant grade to be sitting around. Unfortunately, I'm horribly behind on my work. I have worksheets and labs to do, that are not done, nor are they close to done. Luckily, I think I understand the material...I think paying attention in class helps. Sorts are fun. I had heard about Bubblesort and Quicksort from Quiz Bowl, and now I kinda understand what they're actually used for. Mergesort is also really neat, though one wouldn't expect it to be as fast as it is. I think the acting-out stuff kinda helped understand the code better, although I think I just need to know more about what each line of code does, for the other sorts and searches too.
...I think I really need to work on those labs and worksheets...they worry me.

Reflection on Week 2.11

Right, well, I'm pretty worried now. With labs being graded, I'm pretty much screwed. I got out of 19a thanks to the generous offer of extra credit, but that still leaves Pong. All four Pongs. Having missed Wednesday's class for a Planet Earth fieldtrip, I am seriously behind. I don't think I'll be able to finish in time...
Thank god I understand inheritance decently. At least, I think I do.

Bad Day

I sincerely hope that there will no longer be any day worse than Wednesday. Wednesday was practically the epitome of a BAD DAY.
In English class, we had a graphic novel of The Metamorphosis due. Now, I didn't know it was actually due that day. Technically it wasn't. It was due the day after. Like that mattered. The girl who was binding the whole thing, Isabel, needed it that day so that the glue could dry and stuff (it still turned out pretty unstable Thursday, so I guess she had a point). Anyways, I thought I could give it to her Thursday; we had planned on having the stuff in class Wednesday, but thanks to a Planet Earth fieldtrip, I thought I could give myself a little slack. So I had left a good half (more than half) undone. Early that morning, I found out that I was screwed. After a couple of good profanities, I spent the rest of the day and the field trip (sans the part where we climbed all over McKinney Falls) worrying about how I would finish my part. I couldn't let it be late, otherwise that would make the whole thing late. I couldn't have that on me - a) my class would kill me, b) I would hate myself. Anyways, I managed to get it done. But not after I had given myself the most stress in weeks and given myself the most annoying headache in weeks. I also figured out that I had a chemistry lab due the next day, I found out that I had utterly failed a Precalculus test, got rejected from this Mathcamp at Texas State San Marcos (It's actually a really good mathcamp), and got yelled at for being rejected.
Yeah...Wednesday sucked majorly.

Reflection on Week 2.10

This was a pretty chill week, which was pretty good in my opinion. Didn't do much, tinkered around with some labs, finished up a couple of worksheets, and didn't really get any new concepts. We reviewed inheritance, and I think that was about it.
