0248hrs

i know its almost 3am and all...
but believe it or not...
i just managed to barely cover what i need for tomorrow...
friday is another headache...
maths lab...
cinema essay due...
EE tutorial...
and programming tutorial...
but actually...
kinda glad i stayed up till so late...
coz i finally...
in other words...
for the first time...
wrote my first program...
not too complex...
but its a good start i think...
at least it involved some algorithm and not simply a printf ("Hello World!")...

actually there were 2 other programs prior to this one today...
Lab 1: Part 1...
which i relied heavily on Eugene's code...
only changing variables, combining statements, deleting redundant stuff and adding "\n"s...
Lab 1: Part 2...
skeleton came from lab instructions...
hint came from eric...
and i consulted the TAs like....TWICE...
but talking abt lab today...
damn stressful...
not only i stress...
but my whole row...
coz all of us were getting logical errors...
which wasnt the best of things to get...
they're the WORST nitemare...
in the end...
the guys solved their problem...
i havent...
with only 3 minutes to submission deadline...
should have seen how stressed eric and i was...
he was frantically trying to see where my error was...
i was frantically trying to get the TA's attention...
TA decides to ignore me...
when it was finally pointed out...
eric was like "Quick! complile it! test it! submit!!!!!!!!!!!"...
think both of us the BP shot up sky high during this 1.75 hrs...
but thankfully i had him beside me...
gosh...

but back to my first ever accomplishment...
feel so proud...
largely correct...
except for one parse error and a confusion between the "\" and the "/"...
and i made use of 3 different kinds of loops!
*smirks*
am a huge fan of for loops...
just think it looks so classy...
lets hope i survive the rest of programming module...
am starting to find programming quite fun...
if only i have the time to read and fully understand the textbook...

0345 hrs.

second program done...
it was an easier program...
but got compile-time error while experimenting with the loops...
interesting stuff...
sometime you wonder how come the computer is so fast...
yet humans, the supposed higher beings, are like so slow...
i took freaking long to calculate on the calculate what the program took seconds to answer...
okok...
i'm exploring the obvious...
i think i'm just high...
got a 8am lecture tmr...
wondering if i should sleep and risk missing the lecture...
or i should just work the nite away...
and risk walking ard zombified for the rest of the day...
nah...
i think the panda eyes are already bad enough...
and i have a cinema essay to complete by tmr nite...
considering friday is a 9-6, sports ball at 630...
thankfully, darren drives....
and he kindly agreed to give me a ride...
feel like his stalker...
know his every move coz he's in the next klass...
with the same timetable...
with eugene and YXY...
small world...

keke...
ciaoz!
