How are you feeling?

[section]

I am feeling incredibly stupid. Long story/rant coming up... I am hoping I will feel better if I type it out.

I got this HW assignment on Monday that the professor said "looks long, but it really isn't". I thought I'd get a head start on it, so I begin Monday.

Turns out, it was an incredibly difficult programming assignment. Or difficult for me at least... I'm not that good at programming, at least not compared to my peers. So I spend 6ish hours between Monday and Tuesday working on it. I keep encountering frustrating errors, debugging, finding more errors, etc. until I find I have one final error I cannot solve. On Wednesday (today) I go to office hours for the TA to query my problem. She's very helpful and helps me find the error, plus makes another suggestion that is fundamentally important to the program. As someone who has not spent a ton of time programming before, I have never heard of this "obvious" transformation suggestion but it seems helpful.

Anyhow, I just spent all of tonight (~5 hours) working on my assignment. It takes awhile to run the program, so each 'case' I am supposed to run takes an agonizing fifteen minutes. I finally think I've fixed my problem, since the output matches what I want. I spend awhile crafting a pretty report... 4 pages of written work/tables/figures, and 15 pages of code. I was feeling pretty pleased with myself as I print out the final version, and tuck it in my backpack. To treat myself, I figure I'll play some Zelda tonight on my 3DS.

But then, as I am pouring myself a glass of water, a big error in my code hits me like a ton of bricks. I took a log somewhere to simplify calculations, but I forgot to back transform!!! Gah!!! And somehow, missing that crucial piece of information doesn't even impact my results enough to notice?!?! GRR.

So now I am locked into another 3 hours of rerunning code, redoing tables, figures, etc... all because I forgot one little thing. To rub salt in the wound, the rest of my classmates are bragging about having finished early/working hard on it to get it done. I am working hard too!!!! I really wish I were smarter

Please someone tell me I am not a lost cause. So frustrated by this assignment

If you could with visual basic i can defo help you out

Bleh. Have to get ready to head out in a little bit, not in the mood to really go anywhere, but it's an appointment I can't get out of after canceling it last week so yeah. I'm stuck. It's for the best though.

That's the lovely thing about therapy - literally never wanting to go, but knowing you'll feel better once you do~

Sooo I just overheard my grandmother (I live in one of those multiple-family houses and we can all hear each other through the vents at times) saying "Please God, I want to die, and I want it to be soon." First word that comes to mind when I have to describe how I'm feeling? Awkward. Second word? Sad. Third? Confused, because we don't have much of a relationship and I don't feel like it's really my place to go and try to talk to her - it would almost be like trying to comfort a stranger. Actually, I'm better at that - talking to strangers until they feel better. But all things considered, I dunno if it's possible to make her feel better in the first place, since all her ailments are physical and she doesn't have many friends left and I... kind of understand? Like, I think I'd feel the same if I were in her position. ****'s complicated so I'm going to do the adult thing and block it out of my memory. (that was sarcasm, just in case it needs to be said)

As someone with clinical depression, I feel you on this.

I feel good. I got a check for 600 dollars today, so I got my boyfriend some stuff, and then got something I wanted for a very long time. I'm really happy today.

 

[Psydye]

Angy and irritated.

Frustrated & exhausted. Didn't sleep last night so I get back here all ready to pass out since I have to get up early tomorrow. Can't find the damn cat, so can't give her her pill. :l I've torn the house apart and I know she's here but I can't find her and it stresses me out. I should just go to sleep because she has to be inside somewhere, but I can't. I just have to wait for her to come out of hiding.

So pretty much guaranteed I'll be going another night without any sleep, and I have to take my cat (not this cat that I'm watching) to get his shots in the morning.

 

[MOON TRIPS]

[Alienfish]
