💓 day 4 of 100 days of productivity 💓

studying for my final exam of the semester (!!!) with my brand new mildliners! i can definitely say that it took me a long time to decide if i really needed them, but now that i have them, i personally couldn’t imagine studying without them. if you’re on the fence about purchasing them, like i was, i highly recommend them! hope you’re having a fantastic day xx

these notes are so pretty!!💞

In the library at 8PM to get my assembly language euclidean algorithm implementation done, spent all day on it and finally got it done I’m really happy with myself. Also good news! I passed the IBM IPAT test so I’m through to the next stage of the internship application!! I honestly thought I messed it up, it really made my day 😊 Now off to watch the university fireworks display, a good end to a good day 💻📚🎆

Programming phases for university assignments:

1: What the fuck do i have to do?! 2: I understand the specifications, but how do i do that?! 3: Okay this way it should work -> it’s not working 4: It works, but the result is not the right one 5: Bug searching for a couple of hours 6: Oh it just had to do this simple thing differently.

In computer science, a binary search is a search algorithm that finds the position of a target value within a sorted array. It works by comparing the target value to the middle element of the array; if they are unequal, the lower or upper half of the array is eliminated depending on the result and the search is repeated in the remaining subarray until it is successful. This is similar to the way a person looks up a word in a dictionary. In complexity terms this is an O(log n) search - the number of search operations grows more slowly than the list does, because you’re halving the “search space” with each operation. For binary search the values must be in sorted order.

On the other hand, a sequential search looks down a list, one item at a time, without jumping. In complexity terms this is an O(n) search - the time taken to search the list gets bigger at the same rate as the list does. The list doesn’t need to be an ordered one.

sometimes i wish id just stuck with an engineering major instead of switching to CS... bc i still really wanna do aerospace engr.

Science Aesthetics

I was feeling inspired last night, so I decided to make this purely for fun.

To the moon and back: Cold, dark nights clutching thermos flasks of hot coffee. Machinery whirring as telescopes trace a star across the sky. Intricate, geometric drawings of the celestial sphere. A messy bun and a NASA t-shirt. Filling in the logbook while punk rock blares in the background to keep you energised and awake. Pictures of nebulae and galaxies everywhere, because pretty space pictures is half the fun. Annoyed huffs every time someone mentions their star sign.

Natural Philosopher: Long, intellectual debates in coffee shops about mathematics, physics, philosophy. Chalkboards covered with equations and calculations in a precise, curving handwriting. That Eureka moment while deep in thought, expressed only with a small smile and a scribbled proof on the back of a serviette. Chaotic desks in front of bookshelves groaning with old textbooks. Antique lab equipment as functional decor.

“Trust Me, I’m a Scientist”: Large computer screens running freshly-typed code. Neat lab books and PDFs of journal articles. The smell of whiteboard markers. Polished new equipment in a tangle of cables, hooked up to a digital oscilloscope. Exact amounts of chemicals in rows in metal shelves. Resting your feet up on the bench after a long day in the lab. The satisfying hum of your colleagues as they work on their experiments around you.   

Science Expedition: Dirt under your nails and a loosely-bound collection of field notes. Plant clippings carefully taken to be analysed back in the lab. Soft fur on tough, wild animals. The bitter smoke from eco-friendly firewood while you roast marshmallows and listen to a supervisor’s witty stories. Free-handing diagrams while looking through a microscope. Sketching flowers and that gorgeous ocean view from your last field trip. Reading Darwin on the bus home but falling asleep on your lab partner’s shoulder out of sheer exhaustion after the first three pages.

Life is a Science: Scrolling past an anti-vax facebook post and resisting the urge to burn down the internet. Shiny dissection kits and the sharp smell of formaldehyde. Making time to work out and pack a healthy lunch because your mind is sharpest when your body is well. Debunking the latest superfood fad with peer-reviewed journal articles. Making friends with some of the nicer med school kids in anatomy class. Colour-coded, neatly labelled diagrams and a thousand different terms memorised. Getting a double-helix DNA sculpture for your desk.      

What they show on TV isn’t real hacking: Rubbing your eyes after staring at a screen for five hours straight. Having a blank keyboard because all the letters are rubbed off already. Energy drinks in strange colours at strange hours. Being fluent in four different coding languages. Circuit boards and printouts. Ones and zeroes. Running jokes about turning everything off and on again. Rage-quitting when you realise you forgot a comma or a colon somewhere. Black screens with brightly coloured lines. The comforting click-click of fingertips tapping keys. Applying to intern at Google every three months because maybe they’ll take you this time. Writing a piece of code to do something simple just because.

[odetostudying]

13.11.2016 So my exams are next week and my motivation has been so low this past week, I feel like I’ve barely done any study at all and I’m a little disappointed in myself. I hope I can get into the groove of things next week. I’m pretty confident for one of my units but for the other one I’m stressing out a little.
