Weeks 10, 11
Whew! What a relief, I finally have a break of 4 days before the next test. I seem to be drifting farther away from the course notes (and topics) but I know sometime last week Danny treated DFSAs. Brings back memories from 148 in the summer. We had to do substring searching using a DFA, took me over 2 days to understand the example in the textbook (using DNA strings, A, C, G, T). I find that the textbook for this course is probably the most useful textbook I've ever had, it seems to wrap up everything you need to know nicely and in an easy-to-understand manner. Don't have much to say, gotta study for tests and exams so I gtg. Laterz.

Term Test 2
Classes seem to be somewhat dragging now, besides I haven't been going for a while as a result of the fact that I often sleep very late since thats apparently the only way I'm gonna meet the deadlines for my courses and prepare for tests at the same time. Test 2 was fine, at least from what I experienced during the test (I haven't gotten my test back and I realize it may have been handed back in class yesterday). I was about 15 minutes late for the test but I actually finished it, surprisingly. Here's to hoping the result will be good, and hoping ps4 was also good.
I find it interesting that we now deal with strings in class, quite unexpected. But I guess that's my fault, afterall the course is introduction to the theory of computation, we make use of strings in programming (the only "computation" we do now) almost as much as we make use of numbers (integers, doubles, floats, ...). Now I have to go study the course notes and start ps5 and later hit the sheets. Later daiz.
