3rd Entry

Whew.

I've finally finished my first 236 assignment! As of around 2'0clock this afternoon I've been stress free, as I was able to submit the assignment quite earlier then I would've expected. Usually at this time I'd be either struggling to finish one of the tougher questions, or proof-reading some of my answers - but nope! I'm done.

The question that gave me the most difficulty was #3. Now I don't want to say too much about the answer, since the deadline hasn't officially passed yet, but if it wasn't for those TA hours I'd probably still have no clue what to do. The whole thing just really confused me. Even after I re-read it a couple of times, it just never really clicked as to what I was supposed to do. After brainstorming with some friends and countless visits to the aid center, I was able to piece everything I leared together and come to some final solution.

The thing that confused me the most was implementing the POW into it all -- I really really don't like using the POW technique, mainly because I still don't really see what's so significant about it. I'm sure Danny has a lot to say about that, and don't get me wrong I'm not saying POW is useless -- its just I find that Simple/Complete induction is a lot more straight forward. Maybe I just don't like it because I can't really figure out when to use it .. or how to use it .. or why I'm using it .. I just don't like it!

This week is going to be really brutal in terms of work. I have a lot to do and I'm expecting another Problem Set will be due this Friday, so yeah, it just keeps piling on. I'm glad I got A1 out of the way and I feel confident with all of my answers, so we'll see how it goes. I usually never do as well as I expect on assignments (or at least that was the case in 165) so I'm crossing my fingers! Oh well, like I said, we'll see!

Anyway that's it for this week, expect more next Saturday.. I looked at my calendar and realized that the first test is approaching -- kinda scared, not gonna lie. So yeah, 'til next time, cya..
