Final Post

Well, the semester is now drawing to a close, and as the saying goes, all good things must pass in time. Looking back upon the semester, I feel that I grew significantly over the course of the past semester and I am really glad to have had the experiences I had. I learned how to work work with a new language and how to work with members of a group for a long period of time. I have never had to work with a group for more than a month, and this semester, learning how to comunicate effectively and how to grow individually and as a member of a group. Looking back, professor Ackley had asked us in class what we would tell "beginning of the semester us" if we had a time machine. And at this point I would definitely tell myself: Sucks to be you. Because it was rough, taking CS460, CS444, CS375 and CS362 was pretty killer and while I learned a lot, I cant say that I would want to do it again. So Thus concludes this chapter in my life, not only for the semester, but for my undergraduate career. So I bid farewell to all of you who have followed the ups and downs of this project.

Its the final countdown!!!!

Sorry, that song is going to be stuck in your head now for the rest of the week, at least it has a good guitar rift! Anyways though, We are nearing the end, essentially the project is "done" or more like, as done as it can be at this point. Tomorrow we have due our 1 page paper that we will give to our judges to be able to remember our project by and have something to be graded on.  With that being said, I will be posting that here later today. On that note, As I look back on the semester, I really wish that we could have had more time to show off our project and all its functionality, because I feel like there is a lot of functionality an nuances that we had to work on and get the kinks out of to be able to make the project usable by a normal user. That being said, it feels like we will give our presentation and then that's it... nothing afterwards, granted I know Ackley will be going through our code after it is all said and done and looking at our code and grading us based on what is there, but the fact that we dont get to show it to people is kinda sad, but such is life. Beyond that though I really feel that I learned a lot this semester. I gained a lot of experience working with group members, who going into this project I would have never picked to work on a project of such magnitude with and also, how to be able to effectively communicate with people who are completely different from me and program completely differently from me. With all that said, I am very very glad this semester is drawing to an end.

Thanks!
