Data Structures and Doggies

 Good evening readers,

Well, I took the exam. About 40% of the questions were the same ones on the practice exam. Those were a breeze. There were a few more questions that asked us to evaluate function efficiency and binary tree traversals. The questions regarding efficiency were somewhat challenging, but I think I got most of them. I know I got one wrong. Big-Oh and Big-Omega notation don't make a lot of sense to me. I always think I understand them, and then I find some incomplete explanation that just seems to scramble the bits rather than connect them. I haven't had the best lectures on them, but then again I guess I could've read the textbook a little more often. Oh well. Nevertheless, I think I did pretty well. 

Now. Onto the next part of the title. Up here at Tech I regularly volunteer at the humane society. The Copper Country Humane Society. I typically walk dogs, although I don't mind a little cat cuddling. 

Recently, I've been walking a dog named Blaze. I visit him at least once a week, typically on Fridays. He's a sweet, 6-year-old pittie. I typically don't like pitties, but Blaze is an exception. He's gentle, slower, and super friendly. 

When he gets adopted I'll certainly be upset. Yet at the same time, I'll be happy because I know he's going to his forever home. But as of now, no plans for adoption have been made. I ask the staff every time I visit!

So there you have it. A few pictures of my good boy, Blaze. 

I'll try to keep this blog updated with dogs as I go. Who knows, maybe I'll make a "dog" tag!

Anyway. 

As always,

Thanks for reading,

Exam Tomorrow

 Hi all,

I have an exam tomorrow. I am not looking forward to it. It's just data structures but things such as Big O notation and Big Omega notation confuse me to some extent. 

It's just hard to wrap my head around. 

But I was curious as to if writing it down may make me feel better about it. I guess we'll see.

I know this was super short, but regardless,

The Dredge

 Hi all,

Yesterday, a few friends and I visited "The Dredge" . This place is a renowned getaway spot for Michigan Tech students, and it almost seems impossible to graduate without visiting it. 

This was my first time at a place like this, but I certainly don't intend on making it my last! Noah insisted on bringing work gloves so that he didn't injure himself anywhere. I managed without! 

I was the only one who climbed to the top of this one part. Everyone else was too afraid of the sketchy ladder! I guess I'm a real truckie now!

Here are a few photos of the adventure:

I have a few more adventures that I've been up to that I will probably get around to sharing. 

As always,
