It was a long sleepness night last night. My mind was running on overload and all I could hear was the wind blowing around outside. It’s at times like these you can almost sit back and feel at ease, as the ‘immediate’ world around you has gone silent (almost). Although, relax I cannot, for I have coursework to finish, ride on!
It has been a stressful day, if not a weekend. Foremost has to be that cellular automata coursework I did a few months ago, the results were printed last Friday, and I was shocked by the grade, or lack of it. So on immediately asking for an explanation of the problem, I was told that I could discuss it today Monday in the tutorial. Sitting the few hours before the tutorial, I felt like I was about to be judged and that I must redeem myself! When I finally got to state my case and see the program, it struck me as ’stupid’ to have not looked the program over a bit to aclimatise. It did not feel good, I felt like I was grasping to breathe as if water was closing all around me, I had forgotten why I had named things a certain way but thankfully a few minutes in remembered what it was doing. The lecturer finally declared a “B” and I said my thanks and left. I was still feeling much angst. On getting home, I fired up my Mac and had a look, and then I remembered, the piece of ‘printf’ code the lecturer was confused about I had deleted, but was in the code I handed in. In fact, if I had left it out, a clear A+ was on the line, ARGH!!!!!!
Life has been trundling along and I’ve finally cleared out all those books which have been sitting on the shelf next to my desk for 6 months. The sun is out, the birds are singing, and I need a break.
