More midterm thoughts

It has been a pretty crazy week and the upcoming week promises to be even worse. I'm finding the new material to be pretty confusing and will have to start reviewing the lecture slides more often. Today's lecture wasn't very clear to me, however that is probably due to how tired I was since I could barely keep my eyes open. I'd like to thank my CSC207 assignment for this. Unfortunately my other courses haven't left me with much time to spend on CSC236 and I know this is going to come back and hurt me in the next few weeks. Assignment 2 is worrying me but its going to have to wait as I have my STA247 and MAT223 midterms next week and they are worth 25% and 30% respectively. I really can't wait until November where I will have a bit of downtime and be able to catch up in the courses I'm falling behind in.

On an unrelated note, the exam schedule was released yesterday and I am not looking forward to that week. All my exams are back to back, something that has yet to happen to me in university. I guess I should start studying like a month in advance.

We also got the midterm back and I have to say I am pretty unhappy with how I did. I really wish I hadn't blanked out on the last question. I ended up getting 0/8 on the last question but with a remark I should be fine. I might edit this section in the future but now I've got lab so I'm going to cut this entry a little short.

I try to spread out the term work in this course, so I don't piggyback on the midterm crunch. If you left a question blank, I will certainly be able to give you 20% for it.
