What did you do this past week?

This past week I did work for some of my other classes. I didn’t have many deadlines this week so I mostly just got caught up on some lectures and had some free time. I also got my first dose of the vaccine this week.

What’s in your way?

This week I have a paper due and some other assignments and I’ll be busy doing those during the week. I have some other things related to graduation that I need to handle and figure out by this week as well.

What will you do next week?

Next week I will be working on my assignment for Cloud Computing as well as my paper for Interpersonal Communication Theory. I also plan on getting started on the Darwin project by planning out my classes so I can get started on programming it later.

If you read it, what did you think of the Dependency Inversion Principle?

I did not read the Dependency Inversion Principle article this week.

What was your experience of vector, copy constructor, and copy assignment?

The HackerRank that we did this week was a lot easier to do now that we have done 3 HackerRanks on the vector class. After lots of practice I’m now always thinking about which of the known algorithms (copy(), fill(), equals(), etc) that we can use instead of defaulting to while loops like I did the first time around. The copy constructor and copy assignment were fairly easy to understand and implement.

What made you happy this week?

Last weekend a friend and I bought a ton of “real” groceries and planned out meals for us to cook everyday. It was nice for a change since I usually eat a ton of outside food or instant ramen. Cooking was fun and eating healthy felt rewarding :)

What’s your pick-of-the-week or tip-of-the-week?

I know a lot of people have been really stressed this weekend with a lot of project deadlines, so my tip of the week is to make sure that you get your 8 hours of sleep every night! Staying up late to work is not worth the decrease in productivity you get from a lack of sleep. Sleep is important too!
