Pete's Log: the end draws near

Entry #1000, (School)
(posted when I was 22 years old.)

and thus I'm done with classes ...

algorithms was miserable today. I sit next to the window (and thus next to the heaters) and they still had the heat on today. So though I've really enjoyed this class most of the semester, today the heat was just too much, and I just wanted out. Luckily Dr Chen wasn't covering anything I hadn't seen before.

Our last comp arch class yesterday was interesting. I'd been looking forward to TCE's since I had a few comments I wanted to make. Instead of the traditional approach of giving TCE's at the end of the class, Dr Uhran handed them out at the beginning of class, and then stood there watching us. One would think that an assistant dean type would know how TCE's are supposed to work. Afterwards I was talking to Katie, who had been given the task of carrying the TCEs to debartolo, and we looked at the instructions to the teacher, and it clearly said "Leave the Room" ... but both Katie and I wrote at the top of the form that Dr Uhran was watching us. He also didn't give us nearly as much time as I wanted to fill out the form. Oh well.

Graphics is also over. Jon and I handed in our final project. After class we were playing with it a little more in fitz, and Jon asks me what happens after you run out of lives. I realize I have no clue what the answer to that question is. So we commit suicide repeatedly, and watch the life indicator: 4 ... 3 ... 2 ... 1 ... 0 ... -1 ... -2 ... doh! Oh well, such is life.

it seems people are beginning to do work on the compilers project, I'm getting questions. Of course, I don't quite know what to think about people who ask to meet me during times which are during class. Kinda shady if you ask me.

I'm one algorithms assignment, one comp arch project, three finals, and some compiler grading away from being done with the semester.
