Going home!

Thanksgiving is turing out to be my most anticipated holiday yet. I get to go home for a bit! I could possibly go home more than just that one weekend, but the 6 hour drive there and back would be fairly lacking of a point. It will feel so good to go home for a bit. But then that means I can’t go home until mid December… Aw.

School has been pretty busy, but I know I should be busier. I have never really studied for much, and managed to get by with 80s-90s in highschool - but here it’s way different. I studied a fair amount (compared to my usual of nothing) and I’m barely getting 60s. That’s the average of my stuff though, some assignments I’ll get 90s, but then some (all of my CS ones…) I’ll fail horribly. The CS ones are so easy too! It’s just that instructions are not clear at all so when you go to write your program, it works perfectly, but then their ‘auto-checker’ marks it wrong because you didn’t name your parameters the exact way. Ugh. Such a piss-off. The second assignment was like that - I did it all perfectly, it worked and did what it was supposed to. I even asked my prof if I could name the parameters differently. Then how come I failed it miserably? Because apparently my prof is very wrong and therefore I was very ‘wrong’. I will just have to be extra careful…

My first set of midterms was interesting as well. I thought midterms would be tougher - but they really aren’t. Two of my midterms so far have been 40/25 multiple choice questions. My CS midterm (I passed - don’t worry) was writing simple little programs. I still have two math ones coming up, but I think it’s pretty obvious they won’t be multiple choice (aw…)

Ps- New theme in effect is the one I’ve been working on since I think last winter… :\ It’s still not done.
