This semester is turning into a very "labor" intensive time for me. It's not necessarily that I'm learning a lot of new concepts or difficult ones. Rather, I'm taking four CS courses all in different languages (Scheme, C, C++, and assembly). That means I get, roughly, three coding assignments a week.
My first assignment for Int. Comp. Graphics scared 7 people out of the class and took me 8 hours to complete. My Data Structures II class isn't anything insane; but, C isn't OOP so it's taking me time to convert OOP concepts into non-OOP code (spent 2 hours on this weeks assignment). Scheme is the devil's favorite language (wasn't that Java? No, Java isn't that bad... just runs really slow). We're using it in my hardest class--computational structures. That's where the majority of my studying will occur (it's a class on recursion and proving algorithms mathematically and such).
As for the assembly? We don't start that 'till later in the semester. Right now we're going over different mathematical conversions and standards for information storage, etc.
Umm... add to that the fact that I'm working hard (in my rare free time) to knock chapters of my "to-write" list for my novel and what your left with is pretty much OOC posting at SWF. Yup.
I don't have the time to really keep track of threads or come up with any cool SWF ideas. That doesn't mean I won't be checking the boards. No, I will. I just won't be reading IC as much as I would like.
What am I getting at? Basically, I don't know when I will be able to devote a lot of time to developing the Khendon character. I'm really trying to make some major progress in "life" and I need to concentrate on being Andrew for a while.
As I've said, I'll still be around. You'll see me on AIM all the time. Just, I won't be posting as much :(
Umm... Sorry :(
Hopefully this will all be somewhat resolved by summer (next semester isn't looking bad, but, if my plans go well I'll end up having an internship while in school, so...).
Aye! Yar!
