Comp Sci

So tutoring went really well last week and I think I am going to do similarly well this six weeks.  My only concern is that on the worksheets I seem to be getting a number of things wrong.  I know we are going to go over them, but it's a bad sign when I can't do worksheets correctly.  Still, I hope to be able to do pong with Jorge today and we can discuss the worksheets more.  I did sign up to take the AP, but I really don't know how well I will do.  But I am trying and that is the important part, I think.  Alternatively, it is a little disheartening to see worksheets coming back with nothing right and still getting 100s.  Ah well.  This semester is the last semester of comps

Tutoring with Jorge

Last Tuesday was really super duper extra productive and I really felt good about getting the labs done and whatnot.  So that's good.  We will definitely make this a regular thing.  I might make an A next 6 weeks if I actually go in every week like clockwork.  But Bs are still good and as long as I make a B in this class I think I will be happy considering I think I am going to fail the AP.  I know you think I get this and that I put too little faith in my abilities, but considering I am normally really optimistic and (according to some) arrogant, when I say I suck at something, you know its true, because I am usually awesome at everything.  That said, I think I am going to get a lot of worksheets done this afternoon and I know its going to be good.  Hopefully I will do well on the test too.

Also: most of the information in the labs and the presentations and now the worksheets is flying straight over my head.  Like, not in a really horrendous way in which I just don't even understand what is being said, but in a less drastic I really don't get (as always) how to apply it to the labs and worksheets way.  So..yeah.  I can't really comment on what we are learning other than pong seems hard.  Also, 16D for forever to finish with all the different classes and things.  But I basically understand the building blocks of Java (like forloops and instantiation) just not how to apply it to what we are doing now.

Tutoring with Jorge

So, in anticipation for going to tutoring with Jorge, I am writing this blog post.  I think this will go super duper well and I think we can get a lot accomplished.  A lot more than I do in class anyway.  But that isn't really tough because I pretty rarely get anything accomplished.  Part of this is because I am terrible at comp sci, but also because Louis and Graham are little annoying munchkins.  Anyway, I think coming in after school on a weekly basis will be really helpful.  I might even learn something.  I hope so, but if all else fails, I will at least get the labs and worksheets done.  On the bright side, this class will be over in a couple months and most everyone else can't be that much more behind than I am.
