Until the fall, anyway...

After taking one fairly easy exam, writing two papers, taking an impossibly hard exam, and finishing a large project, I'm finally done with the semester!

I got a 63 on the hard exam, but that's ok, because a 65 and over is an A. Good thing there's a curve...

The large project was for my Compiler Design class, and I had to work on it throughout the semester, doing one of the 4 major parts every few weeks. I had to write a compiler for a subset of Pascal into an assembly-like subset of C. Code that looks like
rectab[1].table[-1] := 42;
rectab[0] := rectab[1];
gets compiled to
I wrote the compiler in c++, and it's about 6500 lines including whitespace, by far the biggest project I've ever done.

I have a few goals for the summer.

• Watch Star Wars (I must be the only one at my college who hasn't seen it...)
• Learn Perl
• Update my IRPG calculator
• Get and play Pokemon Perl Pearl
• Read Alice's Adventures in Wonderland and Through the Looking-Glass (supposedly interesting reads for computer scientists and other logic-y people. I remember seeing a couple quotes from Through the Looking-Glass in the beginning of chapters of my discrete math textbook.)

Anyway, I'm just glad to be done after studying and working almost constantly for the last couple weeks. ^_^

Congrats on being done!
I finished with school, totally and completely this past December.
The only way I am going back is if my employer wants me to persue a Masters Degree...and if they're going to pay me and pay my school bill on top of it

enjoy the summer and those are GREAT goals!!! reading is always awesome!

Congratulations I finish for the year in...9 school days. Scary O.o

Man, crazy programming stuff I don't even remotely understand. Stop making me feel dumb

And those books should make for an interesting read. I think I've only read Through the Looking-Glass, but I liked it.

Congrats Spaz.

NOW GO WATCH STAR WARS BEFORE I THROW A LIGHTSABER AT YOU!!

Congratulations to you college people who are now out of school. I've got 69,105 twenty days left, personally.

No comment on the lack of Star Wars watchingness.

I end June 1st, which is... *counts on fingers* *runs out of fingers* ~2 weeks?

Add Maplestory to your list

And I'm glad I am not the only one who hasn't seen star wars.

Difference being I have no intention of ever seeing it
