Mas Comp Sci

To be honest, I dont really know what to write about in these blog posts anymore.  Its especially difficult to generate ideas when you have to write some back to back (because you fell behind) and you cover everything in one of them and dont have any substance left for the next and are reduced to writing about how you cant write.

That said, I don't feel like I am making a whole lot of progress towards understanding the work we are doing.  To reiterate a common motif in my blog posts, it just doesnt make sense to me.

Same old same old

I am getting through the worksheets alright, but the labs nearly required someone holding my hand and walking me through.  Also, the new blogspot interface is weird and scares me.  I dont know if I am doing something different than usual or if the layout changed recently.  Either way its weird.  Anyway, yeah, comp sci is still confusing and hard and I dont know why.  But hopefully my tutoring buddy will be able to help make things better.  That sounds good.  I dont think I am going to sign up for the AP, to be honest.  I just have too much trouble with the labs to have any hope of getting a 4.  But, then again, I wont have to take the final, so maybe its worth it.  I need to come to tutoring again, but I have a couple tests this week, so thats not gonna be good.

Back

We are back from break and I'm not a whole lot better at Comp Sci. Even though I guess I'm mostly caught up, I didn't do a lot of labs from the last 6 weeks which is kind of hurting me now. I still find this really confusing, but I am going to try to come in consistently for tutoring once a week, which I think should help a lot and keep me up to date. I'm starting to wonder whether I should take the AP test, but it seems like it would be a bit of a waste to have spent the entire year attempting to learn all this stuff and never apply it to anything. Plus I'll probably have to take a comp sci course in college anyway, so it seems like it would be worth trying if nothing else. That said, I don't really expect to do well on the free response. Still, it does get me out of the final...

Anyway, its good to be back, but despite my lack of absences this semester I don't believe I will fare much better than last time. Comp Sci is just not my cup of tea.
