CS223 :/

 Hello everyone,

My courses started to get a little intense, with midterms closing in. Anyway, I thought giving a little summary of what I've done so far would be good.

CS223: Since I studied the material about one week early than my instructor, I'm doing OK, actually. I have a quiz this Wednesday, so I'll see how I'm doing there. In written material, at least. I still have very little idea what to do with BASYS-3. I will try to run it on my own so time soon, before my lab on Thursday, that is.

CS201: As I've mentioned before, I studied C++ from Youtube during the winter break, so I think I'm OK? My instructor hasn't given any homework yet, (and because of the Physics102 midterm on the 5th of March) I haven't focused on it much yet. But since pointers start to become somewhat complicated, I'll revise it soon, preferably this week.

PHYS102 takes all my time, unfortunately. I'm having a hard to wrapping my mind around the concepts. And after my PHYS101 midterm results, I don't want to risk waiting for the last week.

I really want to continue the OS course, but I couldn't watch it for some time now. 

That's all I've got to say right now, see you!

Update

 Hello everyone,

It's going OK generally, course-wise. I was feeling a little sick the last week, so I couldn't do much, but I'm feeling better now. 

I'm still studying physics and Digital Design. It's going slowly, but, nonetheless, it's going. I didn't (or more like couldn't) download the necessary software for BASYS-3 because I'm scared that I'm going to break it or cause something to overheat and burn down somehow. Luckily, we will start seeing BASYS-3 in the lesson this week.

We had a little recitation on CS201 about uploading homework to the university's servers and testing the code there (This course doesn't have any labs, only homework). 

I've also started studying the OS course again. 

That's all I've got to say right now! See you.

After First Week

 Hello everyone,

My first week in 2nd year of CS is over. It was okay I guess. I've been watching Bilkent's PHYS102 lessons online to not get behind in physics (learned my lesson after PHYS101). Also, I'm also watching Onur Mutlu's lessons on Digital Design in EHT, it's great.

I'm not doing much else. I finally got BASYS3. Boy, it was NOT cheap ;-; I don't know how to use it yet but I'm planning on installing the required platforms next week to see if BASYS is working as it should, I bought it second-hand.

I'll probably continue watching those Youtube series, I may continue to C++ series and OS course too but not right now.

That's all I've got to say right now, see you!

New Semester

 Hello everyone,

I've started my second year yesterday. And apparently, in these 15 days, I've completely forgotten how the university was, I'm already a little tired ;-; Anyway, I didn't meet all my teachers yet, since it's only the second day, but the ones I met seemed good.

I'm taking a digital design course this year (CS 223), and I'm kind of scared of it due to the seniors' description of it. I know very little about the course (I only checked the book a little), I couldn't find any decent material to study on youtube during the break, which only made me more anxious. Well, I'll see for myself in a couple of days.

My other courses are CS201 (The reason for my C++ studies), MATH132 (Discrete mathematics, I think it has something to do with permutations and combinations, I'm not sure), PHYS102 (the other scary course), and HIST200 (it's mandatory for everyone)

CS223 and PHYS201 are my most intense classes. Also, I still have to study C++. Sadly, I don't know how much I can self-study, but I'll try.

That's all I've got to say right now! See you
