My week:
1. Finished 145 (XPath/XQuery)
2. Finished 147 (the usual)
3. Got pwned at Lucky Dhaba (Wampler is back!)
While the irony is not entirely lost on me, I was dismayed by what Adit believes is “good Indian food”. At least we got to blindfold Wampler and take her to an Indian restaurant.
Lews T: i would totally want to go get indian food with you
Lews T: but if you wanted to go to lucky dhaba i would jump out of the car as it was going 70 on the highway and hope that you were buckled in so that you couldn’t get out in time before the car plummeted off an overpass into oncoming traffic.
T: shut up. lol
T: i was thinking like somewhere in palo alto
4. ABSOLUTELY PWNED 270 midterm
Ok. Doug has a theory on this one that he shared with me, in the spirit of CS157. From our mutual experience in the biocore, we know that pre-meds are kindof slow. Pre-meds become meds. Ergo meds are slow. That’s the only way to explain all the unhappy faces at the 270 exam because it was an open-book, walkin’ on sunshine affair.
5. PWNED 140 midterm
Last minute cramming for CS140, operating systems, pays off big time. I perused all the old midterms and a lot of the questions were re-used. When in doubt, the answer always involves a translation-look-aside buffer which accelerates the hierarchical page table lookup using the CR3 register to instantaneously swap the lowest priority thread and the least recently used page with the optimal donation inversion strategy in privileged mode using run-in-place wired-on kernel hacks with late-binding to dynamic link library object files wherein we use lottery scheduling to determine the best-fit location within the TLB-reach. However, I was up until 5am and that will make step 6 suck.
6. Doing 157 in next 7 hours
Step 6. Finish my masochistically formal logic problem set in such a way that I beat the curve (the average grade will be 90% because the psets in this class each count for as much as the final) and do it all before midnight tonight on almost no sleeps.
7. Santa cruz tomorrow with Jo, Mommypuff and Gogo
8. Dim Sum with Tammy, Claudia and Wampler (OMG SO COOLS) on Sunday
While David and Wampler get re-acquainted behind the curtains, Claudia, Tammy and I will enjoy delicious shrimp families and egg custard buns.
What…
