Our problems, our worth

Everyone has problems.

Some people have more problems.
Some people have bigger problems.

A person's worth isn't based on problems that they have.
Our worth comes from problems that we solve.

Not all the midterms

It turns out a midterm test I was going to take today is actually going to be next week. Silly me, studying so hard so early. That's what I get for not paying attention to schedules and deadlines, I guess. I'm glad that I got the date early rather than late, though.

Another thing I learned. Each half of the test will be administered on different days, one being a knowledge part and and the other being a practical part. For the practical parts of midterms, we are given an assignment and several hours to actually put together the desired code. My midterms haven't ever been given two days to be done, so this is new and, in my opinion, pleasant. Once I just barely couldn't finish a midterm by the end of class because I was stuck on a bit of the practical part. Do you remember how frustrated I was that I couldn't finish? I remember telling you about it. The instructor decided to discount the practical part, instead just using our work to unofficially gauge our learning in the class. Most of the class simply gave up on that practical, by the way. Only one person managed to finish it.

Well, more studying to be done this week. Wish me luck for next week!
