First week of Fifth six weeks

This week was an interesting one. We started work on project 2 and made a good amount of progress. We finished the for loop, the while loop and we copy and pasted the code for the creation of the window for the projection. All that we have left to do is create the bars and letters on the bar graph projection. Overall, it was a good week, being productive and interesting, going over concepts we've already done and taking them to a new level. Sam was kind enough to help out Matthew, Blake, and myself after he finished his project which was in a matter of minutes. The only complaint i have about this project is that the variables are named quite strangely. An example of this is the letter b for the proportion of couples that will have children.

Week of the end of the 4 th six weeks

This week was quite a simple one right up until the end. And when i say that i mean that at the end i had to work quite extensively on revamping my project. The first two days of the week i just worked on lab 5. I ended up having to redo the lab about 3-4 times just because Python kept on crashing on me. I ended up finally getting it just fifteen minutes before the end of class. I just spent the rest of the class dreaming of the 4 day weekend, which i thoroughly enjoyed. Overall i enjoyed my weekend except for the fact that i spents about 2 hours overall correcting my project.

Thats all for this week.

Strange week at best

This week in computer programming we were assigned both a lab and a project in just a 2 day week. The lab seemed simple enough, but when Matthew's shadow stole my seat i was forced to move over to Fabian's seat when e was absent and work over there for that period of time. The next time to recover my file i sat over there again but as soon as i tried to save it, Python crashed on me. Having to do the lab all over again made me angry a little bit, but luckily it was a pretty simple so i was able to finish it before class was over.  However this set back made it so that i was unable to start on the new project.
Hopefully there will be no more unfortunate setbacks this coming week or in the weeks to follow.

Project week.

This week was quite an interesting one. We got assigned an angry birds project. It was basically a giant lab with writing comments. I would love to see us doing this again. It was quite fun and only took slightly longer than a normal lab. It also provided a level of difficulty unseen in any other labs. In addition to this we also did some coding bat challenges. They were all quite interesting, some with wildly absurd topics. One of them was about squirrels smoking cigars and not just like one or two cigars, but up to 60 on weekdays and without limit on the weekends. Next time i would like to see us do a new topic going over conditional loops. Technically we already know how to do it but it would be quite nice to review the concept.
