TGIF Much?
There was happiness to be had today. One big thing was this nasty algorithm I had to write for Discrete. We were supposed to use pseudocode to write a procedure to solve a problem in a *particular* way, which was not the way I would have normally ever have tried to solve this particular problem. Okay, so the having to solve it part isn't the happy part, per se. I actually didn't manage to get a working algorithm written up, just because of time constraints plus the fact that it was just a nasty problem. So I get to class and Dr. Yeager says that the problem was horrible, that last year he wrote it in C++ rather than pseudocode because the latter is just impractical and awful, and the C++ algorithm still took 3 DyKnow slides to show. He then said that he was not planning to give the problem again next year and that he would not ask the grader to grade that problem this year. So that was a relief, both in that my incomplete work would not be graded and the fact that I didn't waste lots of time on the problem.
Samurai Champloo was interesting, as per usual.
After anime I got together with people (actually the same crowd, nearly, as those of us who watched Firefly over break) to start watching Last Exile. Before, they were watching Visions of Escaflowne, but they had finished that I needed another anime to watch weekly, just because. So we're watching this (I am joining in, I didn't watch Escaflowne with them). It's a really cool anime. Really cool. The first episode was pretty good, as some may recall from the sampler last fall, but going beyond that it gets even better, in my opinion.
Amelia then came over to the suite - Munchkin was apparently over already when we got back - and we sat around and talked for a while. We were thinking of doing something like watching a movie or whatever, but that just sort of never happened. We didn't decide on anything, and we were both rather tired (it is/was Friday, after all!).
Oh yeah. TGIF. : )
