If I had a time machine, I would be able to travel back in time to meet September-me and pass on some hard-earned advice that I've taken away from CSC104. Would this be an appropriate use of one of the greatest technical marvels of our time? Would my advice be helpful, insightful, or useful in any way? Would September-me even listen to the crazed babbling of December-me? Who's to say. In any case, here is the advice that I would give: "So you're wondering how to design a function, eh?" (This is meant to be read more as a sneer than a Canadian-ism) In keeping with my nature, the process of me giving advice would most likely contain a careful mix of misinformation, references that are impossible to understand out of context, and occasional tidbits of actual information. This would all be in an attempt to keep the meeting of me and me interesting, as the actual advice December-me has to pass on is mundane. September-me might not like to hear it, but the advice is: go to class, pay attention, and do some of the work. With those key concepts in mind, it seems near impossible to finish the course without being able to easily design basic functions. In terms of preparing for CSC104, December-me has a few ideas. First, I would tell September-me not to worry about it, as the course material is straight forward and the workload is more than manageable. My advice would be to enjoy the remnants of summer! "Spend time outdoors! Cook some cool meals! Take in art! See friends! Read!" These are the things that I find myself missing the most in the throws of the semester's scholarly commitments. In other words, I don't think this course demands any specific preparation. Well, here we are. The end of the line. I suppose I should make a few thank you's. First, thanks to my parents. They birthed me and raised me etc! Second, thanks to my grandparents. Without you guys, my parents wouldn't have existed, and without my parents... Lastly, thanks to my TA Landy who's help and support has been extremely valuable! Couldn't have done it without you!
