Blog Post for week 4/01

Still working on the lab and on project02

The lab, in the end, turned out to be not so hard...I've learned that a lot of programming is sort of intuition. Like, "by logic, this is the way it should work", and it usually does.

Except I don't trust my own judgement, so I end up making unnecessarily long coding, dumb mistakes and with all that stuff in mind, I end up making mistakes like slightly uneven indenting or forgetting semi colons, or not even realizing that a function is doing something wrong because it's part of a loop **facepalms**

In any case, I enjoy learning and seeing all the things I'm able to do afterward! I hadn't imagined myself to be able to program (however mediocre my programming is), so seeing things work and knowing that I understand exactly HOW it works, is pretty amazing.

I'm convinced everyone should learn even a bit of programming in their life.

Also known as "And then school happened"

For the first week back of spring break, this sure wasn't a breather! New things to learn, new labs to do. Everything must be worked to its core now!

Well...I don't dislike strings and that sort of thing, but I'm not a master of it...which is cumbersome.

I'm getting by pretty ok with it though

blog post for the week of 3/11

So, we did some experimenting with the finch programming...WITHOUT using the finch!

I really like all the things it can do, and it was really fun to write out the coding and see all the results it gave and how accurate they were.

And then I was absent....for like the millionth time.

I need to get a better immune system...I wonder how expensive a non-used one is...

FIIIIIIIIIIIIIIINCHHHH

It kind of looks more like a sting-ray to me, but I suppose the wings and beak take that perspective away. In any case, it definitely resembles what you would think the robot of the future would look like, with its sleek white parts (sort of like an older mac, actually) and the different flashing colors also added to the "futuristic" aspect of it all.

I worked with Nathan, and we named ours Ash (AHAHAHhahaha...ha...ha...)

some parts of him are pretty tough to control since he's very sensitive...

...AND THEN THE NEXT DAY NATE WAS ABSENT

but I did pretty well on my own, I do believe there would've been moments where we would've argued for a very very long time on which function to use.

Still behind! But, next week we get to try out Finch, so I'm doing my best to finish beforehand.

It'll be exciting to see coding work outside of a computer, so I'm really pumped for that.

Right now I'm struggling to finish. There are many times when my mistakes are really simple and I completely overlooked them.

Blog post for week of 2/19

At this point in time, I am SUPER behind on my work! I've been working on labs that I missed due to absences due to illness. Getting sick is absolutely no good, as I have learned. You get one day off, but you take at least an entire week to catch up.

I hope all goes well?
