On Tuesday in CSC we did practice problems on recursion and I really think recursion is the coolest thing!  We did one recursion that created a really cool pattern the longer the recursion occurred.

I wasn't at class or quiz on Thursday or Friday though because I went to Montreal for the Canadian University Badminton Nationals. We finished 4th in the team event just missing the medal placement but I still had a lot of fun in Montreal and really bonded with my team during the 4 days.  

After this mini vacation I'm ready for this week in CSC and can't wait to continue my knowledge of Dr. Racket and computers as a whole!

This week in CSC we had a our second term test.  I think it went pretty well but the last question was quite tricky.  After the exam me and my friend were debating if the last question had recursion in it and I think we concluded that it probably did have recursion.  So I probably did that question incorrectly.  

At least the rest of the test I think was pretty straight forward.  Now that the term test is over I wonder what we'll be learning in CSC next week!

OUA Champions!!

I know this has nothing to do with computer science but I'm just really excited that my team just won the OUA team gold medal for badminton!!!  I spent from Friday morning till Sunday night at the tournament (hosted by Ryerson)  and somehow our team tied with Western, 59 points each.....but  the tie break was decided based on how many head-to-head matches our team won against Western and counting up the totals we ended with 12 wins against them to their 7 wins against us :)

I'm just so elated that my team won it!!

Project 1

This week I partnered up with two other people and worked on the CSC ecosystem and ball project.  I spent a long time trying to figure out how to finish the projects and unfortunately was only able to fully the ball project + it's bonus mark, but boy did it feel great when I figured it out.   The ecosystem project stumped our group and we couldn't figure out how to complete the last two problems even after spending a large chunk of time trying to figure it out.

What a confusing and frustrating week in CSC!  Professor Heap was teaching us about binary and how to convert numbers into binary.  At first I was completely overwhelmed by it but its starting to make a bit of sense to me now!  Next Profressor Heap taught us how to alter the color of images in Dr. Racket by changing the red, green, blue levels of the picture.  I thought it was pretty easy to follow but when I went to work on the tutorial worksheet I ended up spending a few hours playing around with color changes and color swaps and even altered the opacity.  I think all that time spend working on the tutorial made the quiz relatively straight foward for me though!  

The most frustrating part of this week was when I was trying to hand in my wikipedia assignment 2 and was unable to login to markus for the longest time.  Luckly I was able to login this morning and hand it in, even though it's late :(
