Tuesday 25th July - Life Update

tuesday 25th july - life update

I'm taking a leave from uni this semester. I really need time to figure out if this is really what I want so I don't any lose more money to this degree. I'm currently working in a warehouse until september-ish to save up some money and then my mum and I are going overseas for 2 months. Uni started yesterday for those attending and I really want to go back cause warehouse work is tough!!

Iconic Things My Coding Professors Have Said (and it’s only day one)

“that sounds very hacky, but smart”

“i’m not sure where i’m going with this… its quite similiar to my life”

*Entire class and prof spends fifteen minutes trying to solve a problem before eventually giving up* “great work guys, that was some good debugging”

“is this a super big issue?” *longggg dramatic sigh* “… yes”.

Professor 1: “it’s still not working? um… okay, maybe you should… turn off your wifi and turn it back on again?"   Professor 2: "40 years of experience in networking and computing at its finest”

“whenever i’m doing my taxes, i never use the calculator app on my phone, i always just open up a notebook and use python and i think thats very brave of me”

“your life quality with improve when you use python 3 instead of python 2. your skin will improve and you’ll even sleep better”

“so this compiler doesn’t recognise cases, so if you’re really perverse, you could do Apple, aPple, apPle, appLe, applE, but if you do that then i’m going to kick you out”

“so, let’s give an example: "True = False”. Asides from causing the end of the world, much like dividing by 0, this will also cause an error"

“if you want to see my cat, i’ll show her. if you DON’T want to see my cat, too bad, cause I’m going to show you her anyway”

“today we will use three keywords: `if`, `else`, and their weird cousin `elif`.”

“if you want to type something else, like… uh, goodbye world? maybe? is that too dark? i think its too dark, so lets save that for later on in the year… by the way, have you been told about your exams yet?”

Professor : “is everything clear so far? shall i go faster?”   Literally EVERYONE: “no! slower!"   Professor: "Slower?! you can go slow when you’re dead, you won’t need python then!”

“you can’t use functions as your variable names. for example, you can’t call this number "if”. i mean i don’t know why you’d use that as your variable name to begin with, but i’m not here to question your life, i’m here to teach you python"

“it’s probably not the most efficient but its just what came out of me so we’re running with it”

Plan for exam revision:

Go over the content

Do the practise and weekly quizzes

Go over the lab and tutorial material

Do the practise exams

Mark the exams and highlight areas of weakness

Review and practise those areas

So far this is the go to plan on starting revision. Let's hope I stick to it! Plus this is my first study blr post! Mostly doing this to keep track of my studies!
