Last-minute panic seems to be a continuous theme throughout the course of this blog's existence

AAAAAAAAAHHHHHH I FORGOT TO UPDATE THE SLOG AGAIN
So uh anyway. Hi again. On a similar vein to some of my earlier posts, we discussed something this week that I found absolutely, absurdly fascinating, and that was the halting problem. I've always enjoyed learning about Alan Turing and his various innovations, and the whole halting problem thing did not disappoint. In fact, I enjoyed the topic so much that I've been working on writing a short story about a modern day scientist trying to expand upon Turing's work, and create a learning algorithm that can solve the halting problem for any conceivable program by storing analyses of previous programs. I know, it's pseudo-science, and it's not really possible, but imagine how interesting that would be! The program could potentially eventually pass the Turing test! Whoa! I don't know why I found that particular topic so fascinating, but I really did. In other news, our most recent topic has me completely stumped, so I'm hoping working on the assignment with my group will serve to enlighten me. Alright, that's all for now. Thanks for reading!

OH CARPS IT'S BEEN WAY TOO LONG SINCE I WROTE IN THIS

Hello, reader!

     Er, first off, let me apologize. I've let this slog completely slip my mind during the course of work on a large CSC148 assignment. I think it's been almost a month since I've posted...there are no suitable excuses for that. Sorry! Anyroad, I feel pretty good after the recent term-test. I had no clue how to do proofs earlier on, and felt quite useless to my group for Assignment 2 at first. However, that feeling of shame led me to do a ton of studying before working with them again on the assignment, and so for our further work on the assignment, and for the exam, I felt pretty good. Let's hope the results correlate with how I feel...Additionally, I think I understand what we're doing now, with the finding C and B and whatnot. However, the previous unit, where we were calculating highs and lows of runtime, did not really agree with how my mind functioned, so we'll see where I am by the exam...I think that's enough rambling for today. I'll try and post more often, and again, my apologies for taking so long to post this one.
