Anyway, I think I'm just gonna head back to Fairbanks this fall for another year. See how it goes. I think it'd be easier than trying to get into a different university right now.
I started doing the material in the book "College Algebra Demystified", and started going through an old edition of a book for CS311. It's trippy. I think I spent about two hours trying to figure out how to implement a binary search to find the maximum value in a group of numbers without sorting the data first. What made this exercise a head trip is that a binary search usually operates on sorted data.
Being rusty or not having a lot of knowledge about a binary search didn't help. I warmed up with a few simple exercises on recursion, that the book gave me, and then devled into this problem, and by the time I finished I was feeling pretty good, like old times.
My goals academically right now are
- Study Algebra, and pre-calculus, before heading back to college in the fall. Pass these classes with either an A or a B. Will be studying out of the Demystified series of books.
- Retake Anthropology. Actually pass this class this time. SHould be easy. Just don't get caught up in all the stupid bullshit like last time. Haha.
- Possibly retake English 111. Get my GPA up.
- Take 4 new classes over the 2010-2011 year.
- Shift my brain back into gear for learning computer languages and software concepts. That basically means reading and programming and studying.
If I get As and Bs in all these classes, I will have an awesome GPA (like 3.2 or 3.4) according to the GPA calculators.
