One Midterm Down!

I finished up with MCB61, and very glad to be done with it. The final wasn’t too bad, and I’m pretty sure I did relatively well. Today was my first midterm for CS61BL, and I’m not quite sure how I feel about it. I think I did all right, but for some reason I can never be too sure in CS. I’m still enjoying CS in general, though, which is awesome news because I’m happy with at least one of my majors so far. We’ll see about math though, since I’ll be taking math113 (abstract algebra) and 128a (numerical analysis) next semester. Two more math classes after that (including the hardest one, 104), and I’ll be done! That is, after I take a cluster of CS classes for the applied portion of my applied math major. I’m pretty darn excited, but I have yet to declare my major.

July 4th was a few days ago, and we (2525 Durant kids + Kevin + Mike, which was about 9ish people?) headed over to Pier 39 in SF to watch the fireworks. Pretty exciting if you ask me, though it was tons of walking. There were smiley face ones! The Friday before that, we (Durant kids, for short, which includes Canasta people) went to Bi-Rite Creamery in SF! Supposedly one of the best ice cream places in the bay, and also in the US! :D It was pretty good, and I need to go back and try one of their cakes some day. Durant kids are on a mission to try all the best ice cream places in the bay!

Also, now that everything is settled, I’m heading to Malaysia in August! The plan so far:

August 12th – Final for CS61BL, packpackpack.
August 13th – Fly down to SoCal.
August 15th – Fly to Malaysia.
Yay for 2 weeks!
September 1st – Fly back to the US.
September 3rd – Fly back  to Berkeley, a week behind and extremely jetlagged.

Sounds like fun, huh? I’m most scared of being unable to catch up once I get back =[.
