Funny how the last day of prefinals turned out to be a rough ride for the students of CCSELEC1/314 F1.
Yesterday, September 16, 2010, Automata Theory started the clash with a blast of its CFG's and PDA's. "Chicken!", says the instructor (Ms. LTSF). Obviously, its not as "chicken" as she said it would be. The battle commenced and finally ended after an hour and a half. Others stood wearily and others cheered boisterously, as we compared and defended our answers. What a great way to start the prefinal exams!
Another six-hour break prolonged our agony. Without a second thought, we utilized the break for studying for the next test... SocSci. Time flew fast. In an hour, I finished the test and made it out of the room in one piece. I did fine. Don't know about the others though. All I knew then was that the end of Soc sci signals the end of prefinals day 1. Next! Day 2.
Day 2! The worst three hours of our lives. The Database, Java and IS tandem (you may include Assembly before and after them). Assembly started off the day with a "check if an inputted substring is present in an inputted string" problem. Hey, I was glad my neighbors new what to do or I would have been dead meat. After which came the three. Database came, miraculously, with simple questions while Java never came. Here comes Intelligent Systems. We were prepared for this. Got a lot of classmates to explain to others how this SOM works, what needs to be done,and what needs updating, what needs nothing. Sir Maravillas suddenly entered the room and prepared what needs to be prepared... our deathbeds. He drew a cartesian plane, wrote a few figures and sat down. all that's left for us to do is to solve for a single cycle which requires 12 X 9 computations which includes wierd symbols. If you were in our place, you think you can finish the test in an hour? Maybe you can... Me? An hour is enough for me to answer 12 X 4 of them.
Whatever! Prefinals is over and the scores I get wont even matter.
