Being Sick is a Dual-Edged Sword

So last week I was sick for a couple days. Sucks, I know. The good part about being sick is the repose. I had two days off to catch up on my health, and that was a big help. The bad part was when I came back. All the work I had when I returned just piled on the stress. With all the extracurricular stuff I had to do on top of that extra work, "casi perdi el juicio," they say in Spanish (I almost went ape-****). The only redeeming thing was that I realized that I hadn't turned in four worksheets in Comp Sci. It helps to be sick sometimes...

WordSearch SUCCESS

I got around to downloading jGrasp on my home machine the other day, something that I should have done long ago. It was kind of a hassle given that I use Mac, but no more than installing and running any other program. This allowed me to work at home in a RELAXED environment, and I found that the speed at which I could work was much greater than in the classroom. I worked on the wordsearch lab from home, and in almost no time, I was able to get the runner to run up, down, left, right, and diagonally! The joke's on you Mr. Stephens, because all the words are in the word search! Sperry is not, however, as I modified the text document to search for that too. I love when things go how I plan them.

2D arrays was the topic of the week in Comp Sci this week. Nested for loops had me confused for a while, but now I understand. The problem therein was that I had missed a day, and that didn't help with my comprehension. It took much longer than usual for me to grasp the concept, and I often had to ask Mr. Stephens for help. Thank God I got it. Moral of the story: don't miss a class. Ever.
