Last Saturday of Freshman Year

And it will be spent studying for 251. My last exam. At 8:30, Monday morning.

And after that, I will be a rising sophomore.

Where has the time gone?

Studying, Studying, Studying

Even though yesterday (Wednesday) was "Reading Day", or  a day when no exams are held, and can therefore be considered as a "day off", the majority of it (for me, at least) was spent studying for programming. Unfortunately, I have my two hardest exams left, which means up until Monday at 11:30, I will be doing nothing other than studying.

And after that point, SUMMER WILL HAVE BEGUN. I can't wait.

Waterfront today!

So after my matrices exam, I went to the Waterfront with two of my friends. The Waterfront is basically strip mall with loads of stores and restaurants-including Target, DSW, Dave and Busters. We went to Express, Macy's, Ulta, Claire's, Gap, Bath and Body Works, Panera, and Coldstone. It was a perfect day. Except for the fact that it's finals week. To be honest, the most free time that CMU kids have is first, during Carnival, and second, during Finals Week.


There seems to be something wrong with that.

And finals week is upon us!

Tomorrow begins the last two weeks of my freshman year in college (eek! How time flies). And it begins at 8:30 in the morning with an Econ final. And on Tuesday, a Matrices and Linear Transformations final. And then on Friday, a Programming final. And finally, the next Monday, at 8:30 in the morning, is my last (and hardest) final. 251. After which, I will be done. And can probably officially call myself a sophomore CS major.

Sorry for the lack of posting...

But, this is the last week before finals, and I have two huge homework assignments due tomorrow night at midnight. Always fun, I know. Thankfully, I have finished one of them-the Virtual Machine of C0 (which is a safe subset of C). The Virtual Machine essentially takes the bytecode of a C0 program and interprets it, and then outputs the result. It took a while, but it's finally done!

The other one is the last 251 homework assignment ever! (assuming I pass the course) This one's on ZFCs and logic systems and Godel's Incompleteness Theorems. I need to prove things about the provability of other things. It's inception proofs.

So after 3:30 am

I decided to stop working, because I was being super-unproductive. Instead, a friend and I explored Margaret Morrison Building-one of the Architecture buildings-and found a way onto the balcony.
Here's a view of the road leading down to the building (it's also where the buggy races are held).
