Just got back my first homework in Design and Analysis of Algorithms. I worked very hard on it, so I was glad to have gotten 119/125 on it. Here’s the assignment, as I turned it in.. I missed points for not evaluating 1c at infinity, and for not providing enough detail for the average case in number 3. He’s just assigned the second homework. It looks to be about the same difficulty level, depending on how hard the recurrence relations at the top turn out to be. And I’m guessing they turn out to be hard.
Not for want of subject matter, I assure you.
Passed! So, I don’t have to worry about that anymore. The last big worry is the Spring schedule, and I’m not sure when that comes out… I had all sorts of frustrations with my Programming Language class today. I went to school an hour early to use one of the Windows labs because we have to turn in Windows executables which I think is a really stupid requirement. Providing a windows executable has absolutely nothing to do with my ability to code in the specified languages. Anyway, the COBOL compiler worked fine, after I spent half an hour figuring out…
My senior year at the University of Mobile, I schemed a plot and persuaded my buddy Cris to help me carry it out.

We were the only people up and about, except for the security guard patrolling in her little car. Unfortunately, this made us stick out. Fortunately, security at UM has never cared about much of anything. We went out to…
Last Christmastime, Amanda made a chocolate, coffee, peanut butter cheesecake; I can’t remember what we decided to call it exactly. She also made two mini cakes for Berck and me, so that counts as two cakes. She made Irish car-bomb cupcakes this last visit, but they actually involved Scottish and Mexican heritage, so I’m not sure what that makes them. All I know is that they were (and are…we haven’t finished them yet) delicious. That counts as cake number 5. 45 to go.
