I'm getting better
Jun. 4th, 2003 10:38 am... even if my brain is still pining for the fjords.
Yesterday was TOUGH. Everything came to a head on my thesis and I had to really push myself to get this linking program done by.. yesterday.
I can say two things for certain
1) I remember EXACTLY why I didn't want to do Comp Sci for the rest of my life. I HATE debugging. I HATE when you add something and it goes back to quitting exactly where it was quitting before I added stuff. I hate crashes. I HATE Array Bound errors. And I REALLY REALLY hate compilers that give cryptic errors like "array bound error".. WHERE is there an array bound error you stupid thing? WHERE?!?!?!
2) If I ever doubt my intelligence, I'll look back on this last week and realize that I taught myself how to use FORTRAN, wrote and, moreover, debugged a fairly complicated bit of code and even set it to read and process multiple files (every 2 months, based on that's how much I run my lake model at a time) instead of every day. Once I've output the data and can relax a tad, I'll probably be really proud of myself.
Anyways, I pushed myself too hard yesterday. I was a bundle of nerves.
Played DDR for an hour (Another "AA".. a 4 foot song too (Ecstasy). Yay! ^^ )
One of the things I don't like about DDR is how I'll sometimes miss ONE step. I'll be too far up the pad or turned around wrong or whatever. Then I go from AA to A. Very frustrating. But maybe that's why AAs are so rewarding. Gotta work that hard to get them, (Though I've noticed that at least with four foot songs, if you get a couple of goods instead of all perfects and greats, you can still get AA).
Anyways, I came online, in part to relax and in part to see if![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
ecwoodburn would appear. But only half an hour later, I couldn't even hold a full sensible conversation. I just couldn't get the right words out :p
I'd LIKE to say I got a full night worth of sleep and feel all the better now, but I didn't. I feel better.. but I still feel vaguely fuzzy brained.
So today will probably be an easier day for me. Get this output out of my script, send it out.. go home, sleep, relax etc.
That's the plan at least.
I was going to have further discussion here about an interesting topic (re: Comp Sci).. but.. maybe later. Still don't feel like I can get the whole thing out intelligently.
