Hello fellow students and lovely TA's and wonderful professor. Welcome to my humble little blog where I will record important things for this course while trying desperately to be funny (because I have no better way of entertaining myself than with a course log).

     Feel free not to laugh. It's okay; I won't be mad.

     Okay, so pretty much the entire first first week of the course I had no idea what the heck was going on. I didn't understand the stupid functions thing with the "return whether blah blah some element blah blah" stuff and the little pop quiz we had to do where we wrote a description of the function on the paper. I felt pretty dumb because I didn't really know what to write and nothing was really making sense to me. Then, a few nights ago, I decided I had had enough of this frustration. I buckled down to go over all the notes and relieve myself of this brain constipation. (Sorry for the visual imagery).

     Anyway, it turned out to be really helpful. Who knew studying was so magically effective? :D Everything in tutorial made sense to me and I aced the quiz. So, since I've started understanding the material and everything has started coming much easier to me, the course has been much more enjoyable. One of the things I really like about the course so far is the social interaction that the professor forces on us. It's not that I don't enjoy talking to people on my own, it's just that I am sometimes an awkward turtle in a sea of beautiful dolphins and I'm a little shy in class. Being forced to discuss with my neighbors and comparing answers not only helps me understand the problems better, but has helped me make new friends! Weeeeee :D

I wrote a little haiku to conclude this entry. I hope you enjoy it.
