Monday February 13 2012

This weekend was so much fun! It felt like a good bonding experience between our team, and all of us got along so well! I'm very glad that we got to go on that trip. I even got to see Carson at UT!! That was pretty great, so I'm glad that we went.

I'm almost done with going through all the chemistry, so physics will be next, and that will be good. There's not really too much I can say about Science at the moment mainly because we're just reviewing.

Computer Science did not go too well competition wise this weekend. I made around a 94 on the test at UT, and that was mainly because either I didn't know things or because I would make a stupid mistake. I probably could have gotten two or three more correct, but I just made a lot of silly mistakes. Programming did not go that well either... First our testing program didn't work, so we wasted about 30 minutes trying to fix that. Finally the judges just told us that we're going to have to submit without testing, so we would lose points because we could not test our work. Andy had two programs done, but he kept messing up on them, so we didn't get those turned in. Jay had one done, but he messed up on the program on JCreator, so we didn't get his turned in. I did two easy ones really quickly, but I messed up on one, so we lost about 5 points on that one. Then I was working on my last one in the last 5 minutes, and I finished it and turned it in, only to find out that I had the wrong answer, and it was going to be a small mistake in my coding that would make it not work. We ended up with only turning in my 2 and getting 115 points from programming, which dropped us from 5th place to 6th place. I was very annoyed, but at least we learned what not to do now.
