Back to work!

After Wednesday's test, everyone was a little stunned by how quick we got back on track with our programming work. Today we were taught about repitition. It's actually a pretty cool thing to learn for Turing!

Repitition is pretty much what you think it would be: repeating words/ numbers. We were taught how to create simple programs that go in an order of numbers slowly (or speedy depending on the DELAY constant integer you put). It was actually quite interesting. I can't wait to start on the repitition assignments! Personally I feel it may be a little more interesting than the other (input and selection) assignments that we've done.

I'm going to party like an animal now, so I guess it's time for my good bye!

BYE, AND HAVE AN AMAZING WEEKEND EVERYONE!

TEST!

Oh no! I didn't do good even though I thought the test was quite easy for my class' level. We worked on our test most of the class, and for the rest of the class we had silent reading.

Not much to say about ICS class today. There may be more tomorrow! I'm working on studying for a science quiz right now, so I guess I'll be writing more tomorrow!

BYE!

STUDY, STUDY, STUDY!

Oh no... it's time! We're going to have our first major test tomorrow on everything that we have learnt so far in this Turing unit. I'm really worried, and that's why I'm going to start my studying right now.

Today we began class with questions (as usual) but I guess the worried looks on everyone's faces was explanatory for the many questions we had. After that, we were taught about 2 more terms in Turing and have homework pertaining that.

I'm a little busy right now, so I can't write much today! Sorry, reader(s)!
Hopefully I'll get a passing mark for this test tomorrow.

I WISH EVERYONE GOOD LUCK!

Well today was quite a simple day... very unexpected for a Monday morning.

Our class started with presentations. We had to do an analysis of selection number 6, write it on chart paper with a partner, and then present it to the class! Osama and I got a little behind in writing down all the information we wrote on a different piece of paper, to the chart paper. We presented a few notes of what we noticed in this assignment because we were the last group to present. It wasn't too bad for us because after everyone presented, we were allowed to write down information groups wriiten from the other classes! When we came back into class, we had to switch our codes for selection number 7 with our partners so that we can correct some things in the code. When we got our own codes back, we went to our computers and fixed up anything we've missed.

Hopefully tomorrow it will be another simple day! I think I'm going to talk to Mr.Arkin to help me a little to understand a few concepts for the test on Wednesday. Oh, I'm really worried...

YAY!

Today's class went pretty good for me. I was completely ready with my things for the ICS binder check Mr. Arkin was going to do. I was one of the first 3 people that got their binders checked, and I was quite happy with the mark. 8/10 is not that bad considering I'm trying so much harder than I did in the beggining of the year. The only problem was that I didn't have my HTML / CSS code printouts! Boo hoo.

During class, we got into groups of three (or two in my case) and we had to do an analysis on selection number 6. We were instructed to identify the many things in the code (prompts, constants, if statements, etc;). Osama and I worked hard to highlight all the different types of things there were in the code, but we weren't able to copy it down onto the big sheet before class ended. Hopefully we have time on Monday!

We hardly had homework today so I guess this is going to be my free weekend! YAY!

Have a good weekend everyone!

Tiring Days

Even though this week started off a little easier, by today, my day was very difficult.

Yesterday I didn't write in my blog because I was tired from "working" all day! I got to go to my mom's office, SOCAN, and learn about how there's more to just listening to music. There are many situations that some singers get into and one of them will be not being given full credit / pay for their performances. SOCAN helps those singers / song writers / producers get their real credits for creating their music. My mom works in the concerts department where the workers find out about concerts that the members of SOCAN hold in Canada, and they get to go to those concerts to see what songs are sung and who needs to get what credit. There's a lot of research and pain that goes into all this, but this job really helps.
In the morning, the office set up a little tour for the kids who came with their parents, and we got to see the people at work! We went to all the departments (atleast 3 departments on each one of the 6 floors) and saw how each department does their own little part in this big helpful scheme.

Overall yesterday was a really fun day!
Today was a little harsh on me, probably because I had a lot going on in my little mind. I hope I can concentrate better tomorrow and next week.

I'm trying, I'm trying, I'm trying!

BYE!

Mr. George Boole's Birthday!

Today was a simple Tuesday. Thankfully we had enough time to write notes in addition to what we've learnt about the if ladders. Today was also George Boole's birthday! George Boole was an English mathematician and a philosopher. He is the creator of the Boolean logic which is a complete system for logical operations that is now used in the Turing program. Thanks to him, we're able to show different operations (addition, subtraction, greater than, etc;) in our programs!

Anyways, I need to finish my selection work tonight (hopefully) so that I don't have homework left until tomorrow!

I'll write about my day at my mom's work place tomorrow!

Bye!
