I'M MY BLOG EARLY!
I dont think ive ever done one of my blogs early.
im really enjoying comp-sci, i like amping up the labs and making them harder than they need to be, i enjoy the challenge, like with the Rectangle and Cube labs, i added an input part so it would calculate the perimeter or the surface area, respectively, of the dimensions you entered for the rectangle or cube. i really feel like i might consider a career in Computer Science. It combines math/algebra and computer, both of which fascinate me. I think i will take your Computer Programing class next year. On a completely unrelated note im going to ACL this weekend. Im not super excited cause there's only one band i REALLY wanna see but i have a 3 day pass so i figure i will enjoy it while i can. I really wanna see Death From Above 1979 on Sunday and since i have the pass im going to go see Stevie Wonder and Chromeo and Skrillex on Saturday. Im not sure who else ill end up seeing but those are the major ones im looking forward to.

Reflection 9/11/11

Today is a sad day. 10 years ago a terrible event happened that i couldnt even comprehend because i was in first grade at the time. It wasnt till i was in fourth grade when i really realized what happened. I morn for those who lost friends and family on that day. i am blessed to not have know anyone who was in the twin towers or on any of the planes that day. moving on to a comp-sci related note, all we're doing in class is still just review for me, which i am ok with. I have not had trouble with any of the labs yet and i try to go out of my way to make them a little more difficult then they have to be for a bit of a challenge. Like on the Big House lab i looked up how to make a polygon so i could put a triangular roof on my house as well as i made a man standing in the window of the house.

Reflection 9/4/11 redo

You have got to be kidding me. i just wrote like a page and a half long post and when i hit publish post it deletes all of this. thats so dumb. i spent good time on that post and now i have to redo it. anyway im liking the year so far. its not too hard. I am glad i took regular comp sci as a pre-requisite to this class because that is making things so much easier. i can do all of the labs in like a minute because ive done most of them before. i cant remember if i leaned if-statements in java last year but i re taught myself because i was bored the other day and i wanted to use them on the imput lab. I set up the imput lab so that when it started it would prompt you by saying "say "yes" if you're ready to begin" and if you said anything other than yes it would say "wrong imput" and end the program. if you said yes though it would continue on like the lab was set up to. i also added a bit about strings in it for fun. most of my other classes arent to bad either. i think ill struggle most in US history. delta and art I should be a piece of cake.
