I have now caught up on my blog posts as is evident if you are viewing this. Unfortunately I have completely forgotten about arrays from last year. I'm feeling quite lost in class now. On the bright side a great concert announcement for the summer was made today.

Mar 21

I used this day to try and play a little more catch -up as I believe that I have fallen behind in many of the concepts that are being presented and discussed in class. I completed my BankBranch class today as well.

Mar 11

I slept in today which was bad because i needed this day to catch up, this didn't happened and now I'm pretty  far behind going into March Break.

Mar 10

Today was my birthday and I didn't go to class because I went to the championships for hockey.

Mar 9

Today we had a guest teacher and I finally discovered the project that was assigned a couple absentees ago. I started work on the Thunderbolt technology and I finally got a very good grasp on the concepts that we need to present on. Most of todays class was pretty relaxed and boring as I read through pages and pages of Thunderbolt marketing.

Mar 8

I was absent today due to hockey practice, i began to feel pretty far behind at this point. But since playoffs were ongoing i chose hockey.

Mar 7

Today's class contained cracking the other teams class. The main problem our group found were negative numbers in their withdrawing and depositing. Our group had a pretty similar problem. There also was a lot of problems in the original steps of this exercise as we discovered that files being shared on wikispaces cannot have the same name or they replace the other one by the same name. All in all I felt that i had learned alot about coding and the ways to prevent errors in codes today.

Mar 4

Today we brainstormed ideas for the upcoming Bank Account class that we would be working on as a team in the coming weeks. I felt like I had joined a pretty good group, and i think further evidence was given based upon the list of ideas we compiled during our brainstorming session. The code was started just as class ended.

Mar 3

When I got back to class today I figured out that I had missed out on quite a bit of work and theory. I originally had a lot of trouble grasping the concepts behind the main class and the tester. My group helped me get back up to speed though. I definitely struggled today in class. 

Mar 2

I had hockey today and missed class. I believe that i lost today but i'm not entirely sure.

Mar 1

Today I was trying to catch up on the work that I had missed from last week. I was brought up to speed by some fellow classmates on what I had missed. I think that I really was lost on major parts of the calculator assignment on this day but I eventually resolved them. Not much else happened in class.

Feb 25

This day was the day of the field trip to York University. I remembered leaving, and waking, very early on this day. I ran into some of the Gr. 11's (I'm too lazy to write their names and this way saves them some embarrassment) in our class quite randomly on the bus as well, I remember this for the reason that they were pretty terrible commuters as they almost missed a bus because they got off at the wrong stop. The trip to York U. was quite easy  really as I was lucky to catch the express that went right to the campus.

I remember that the first presentation was annoying to say the least. The presenter was obviously a last minute replacement who had very little of an idea of what he was presenting on exactly. Also he was too quiet to properly understand from where i was seated. From today I can't remember anything at all about the topic presented. The second presentation was much better in comparison, it was interesting and also the presenters made it more engaging. The topic was pretty cool because it was about robots and building and designing them. Much more interesting than anything else. The computer interaction in the lab was also interesting and was fun to pick a random computer in the room and hack them from afar. The last presentation was interesting in some ways, but boring in others. The graphics were a little gory but interesting but the person presenting was really boring. All in all the day was better than sitting in school all day.

I was absent due to hockey this day and I missed some important stuff as I later figured out. At least we won this game.

Feb 23

Well finally back to posting after a long period of neglect. On Feb 23 we handed in our field trip forms to go to the trip on the upcoming Friday. More Java components were taught in class as well, the concepts were a little tricky at the beginning to grasp but by the end I believe that I had a good idea of what was said. I also felt that many topics that we are using this year weren't fully described in my Gr. 11 class and I feel that the background isn't there. After this I began work on the Calculator class.
