Final finals!

My last finals session is approaching and is starting in two weeks. Oh gosh!
Today, real studying starts too. =)

Some updates

My thesis will be on data mining (more details in the near future).

I had a great night tonight, thanks to two friends. You can see friends seldom, but if they are friends, it’s like you lived together everyday.
Am I forgetting $I_WON’T_TELL_YOU_WHAT_OR_WHO ? Perhaps. This is not a good move in the long run.

Papers reading

As I said before, I’m reading seminal papers for my Ms.C thesis. I still have to choose the topic of the thesis but Prof. Pietracaprina, Prof. Upfal and Prof. Peserico gave me two topics to choose from.
I’ve never said before that I will work on my thesis at Brown University, Providence, RI, USA, starting from [...]

This is busy.

Yes. My actual situation can surely be an example of what busy is.
I’m taking four courses this trimester. This is two courses above the average for my Master course.
One of them has a laboratory. Two of them have projects to work on in groups.
I’m reading seminal papers on Data Mining (frequent itemsets in transactions) and [...]

Quick note

26/30 in Data and Algorithms 2. Uff. I’m not happy, although it’s a good note and the exam is considered to be difficult (but it wasn’t.)

Oh my!

The first exam on Monday went very well: I got 30 cum laude. Ok, it was “Real-time Operating Systems”, so I was very interested and studied it with pleasure. Today I gave “Data Structures and Algorithms 2″ and it went well, apart from a little distraction which is typical of mine, sigh.

Exams are approaching!

The first one is taking place on Monday morning. Today I sent my paper with my chosen exercises and will discuss it together with the professor on Monday. I don’t know why, but I’m thrilling nervous.
Why???

New term!

Wow, the exam went really really well: I got 30/30 and I’m very happy with it. It looks like I had studied enough ;).
Anyway, since exams never end, today the new term start. I follow three courses: Data Structures and Algorithms 2, Operating Systems 2, Theoretical Informatics.

Important days

From tomorrow to upcoming Friday, every day will be important for me, to study for the last exam of the winter session: Algebra (Number Theory).
They will be important because if I want to achieve my goal (which I spoke about before: (a link is supposed to be here, but I cannot find it…)) for next [...]

Exams never end. False, at least relatively

Today I gave the final of Probability and Computing with Prof. Upfal and I’m officially on holyday until…well, the 26th, because I have another exam on January 11th and discrete algebra is all but easy to study…..
At least I can sleep longer..
