The Icon Is A Lie, But An Optimistic One
Jan. 16th, 2009 04:23 pmYou know, my CS homework would be a hell of a lot easier if I was capable of thinking in spatial terms. I really, really fail at that. Like, I spent an entire hour rewriting code because I COULD NOT conceptualize how to make my tiny robot turn around, pick something up, and return to his starting point. I don't know why I'm so bad at this kind of thing.
In general, programming seems to be a process that consists of a lot of me swearing at my computer and trying to figure out what I did horribly wrong, which is usually a great many things. And I'm going to have to use one of my late days on my first assignment, because it's due in half an hour and I have no idea how to even approach the last problem, which involves finding the midpoint of a line when you can't count. So, since right now I am at the pounding my head against the wall and throwing things level of frustration, I am thinking it would be better to take a breather, do something else, and reapproach the problem over the weekend when I'm thinking a little clearer. And hey, the solution - or at least the start of the solution - to the 3rd problem hit me while I was falling asleep last night, maybe I'll get lucky again.
CS: NOT MY MAJOR. Good thing I wasn't considering it. XD
