The Final Cut (not a movie reference; Pink Floyd reference)

Well I just wrote the third test and completely imploded. I actually studied a fair bit however my brain just went completely blank on the first and second questions. The first one took me forever and I'm pretty sure I got it wrong as I ignored the typo until like half way through, tried changing it and just ended up getting really confused even though it wasn't actually that difficult. Then I did question 3 and by the time I got started on question 2 (which I'm fairly sure I could have answered correctly) I had so little time left that I just opted for the old "I cannot answer this question". Really disappointed with myself and wish I could just do it again. Oh well such is life, at least it will only be worth 6% with the amazing 236 marking scheme :)

This semester went by incredibly quickly and it still hasn't fully hit me that exams are next week. I'm really worried for every single class but cannot devote much time to either csc207 or csc236 since I have linear algebra (mat223) and stats (sta247) in the two days before. Honestly, I hated csc207 and stats (in my opinion two terribly designed courses), and feel that 236 was my favourite class. Unfortunately I was not able to devote as much time as I wanted to it and am still terrible with languages. Hopefully I will have enough time on Thursday to get a good grasp of the material and be able to get at least a semi decent mark on the exam.

Thanks for providing me with a somewhat enjoyable computer science course Danny, its been an interesting semester in csc236 at least. The course was quite refreshing when compared to my other courses and like csc165 last winter, it was my favourite course of the term. Hopefully I'll see you at some point next semester!
