I spent a lot of time working on my algorithms homework, moving, and setting up for AWM's first "Follow an AWMie" Day (where we tour prospective math majors around campus and take them to our classes -- heavily based off of WiCS's "Follow the Leader" Day)!
Just time, right now. I got a lot of big issues taken care of and had a nice heart-to-heart, so I feel like I'm mentally back on track now. So right now I just need to set aside some time to work and get things done! I really want to get more done.
I'll be working on finishing up my SWE and OOP projects, writing up and essay and final project for my Persian language class, doing the final algorithms homework, and reviewing for my algorithms class. It's a lot of stuff, so some of the work might roll over to the next week. I'm so excited for the end of the spring term! I really am looking forward to the summer.
I think it came at a very good time (since we're going to be making abstract classes for our current OOP project). Even though the paper used Java examples (and the OOP class is in C++), it was a really good refresher on good design and
For joins, I got a bit confused on the quizzes since I didn't pay attention to the labeling of the keys in the tables! But aside from that, I feel pretty comfortable with joins and subqueries because of the exercises we've been doing in class. I was really sleepy on Friday, but I found the refactoring lecture to be really useful. We discussed using enums, and the differences between public, private, and protected variables/methods.
I got a big personal problem taken care of this week and went home to visit my family. I really, really enjoyed relaxing with my parents and coffee shop crawling with them! I've also recieved a lot of support from my friends lately, so I want to invest more of my time back into them.
I poached this from Risa's OOP blog post for this week since it was so useful and relevant for this week in particular (in OOP)! Here's An Intro to C++ Abstract Classes by IBM.
