sloppy summing

Ha ha ha, my sucky summation skills suck slightly less than simply sidestepping summation-solving. Let me explain: I had my only midterm last week in algorithms and I thought I did terribly, in part because of how I solved the following summation: . That summation came about when solving the recurrence [...]

GRE results

I should be going to sleep right now but I thought I’d make a quick post to say that I have completed the GRE and can move on with my life!! Shazam! I ended up with a 650 Verbal and 660 Quantitative, which is lower than I expected on Quantitative but higher on [...]

calculus test and sleepy quiz-taking

I just had my calculus test, and I really don’t know what to think of it. There were some problems I felt very confident about; others where I thought the right answer could be one of two things, so I wrote out both and finally chose one; and others that I had no idea [...]

proofs and Yip Yips

The week is almost over and I’m very glad about that because I’ve had two exams to prepare for and stress over. My first was yesterday in logic and theory of computing, and it took the full hour and fifteen minutes for me, but I think I did okay. It involved a lot [...]

crazy lecture

I just came from the best calculus lecture ever. My professor is normally a pretty wacky guy, and his appearance just lends itself to goofiness anyway since he’s about 7 feet tall and skinny as a rail. He’s also Swedish and talks with a neat accent. Well today, being Halloween (happy Halloween, [...]

portfolio and a quiz

I’ve been working on a portfolio site separate from 3till7.net because I didn’t think the one portfolio page I had here was sufficient. I have most of the content up, including my job history, my skills, a contact form, yadda yadda, and now I’m focusing on the layout. I’m wanting something clean and [...]

homework and Nintendo games

And with the start of a new semester comes the usual necessity to do homework coupled with the great desire to avoid it. I read in my calculus book earlier, which I wasn’t too upset to do, though it came to my attention that I need to review a couple things: integration and [...]

grades and a new schedule

All my grades have been posted and I was finally able to get through the slew of “error codes” and Javascript malfunctions that is UK’s grade-checking system in order to see them myself. I got A’s in algorithms and biology and B’s in discrete math, microcomputer organization, and the second physics lab. Not [...]

a good discrete math test

It often seems like crappy things happen in my life but that they’re soon balanced out with very good things; the past couple of days are an example. Day before yesterday, the guy who was interested in buying the ferret emailed to say he’d changed his mind and didn’t want Frank. Yesterday, Todd [...]
