20/11/12 I guess my memory has turned this thing into a bi-weekly thing. Oh well, my loss. Now... what's happened since my last post...? I think there was the test. Again, it was simpler than I had expected, so it went pretty well.
With multiple extensions in my courses, things are finally starting to relax which means I'm able to get a start on assignment 3 today. This is a good thing, since after reading over it I'm going to have to do some learning. Since what we're learning now is largely new material (I think), assignment 3 requires more than just stepping through an ordinary proof structure.
Not much else I can say. I guess I still have to blog about a proof or something, but that can happen next week.

Third post!
07/11/12 I think I forgot to post again last week? Maybe not. Anyway, I think things have been gong well in terms of 236 (maybe not so much for everything else. 207 is a time sink). Assignment 2 was fairly short and easy, so maybe my proofs weren't elaborate enough.
The second test is tomorrow, but I've had very little time to prepare for it. I think I'm learning most of the material from tutorials since I have work from ~7am - 3pm every Thursday, so the exhaustion makes it a little difficult to follow what Danny is saying in lecture. That being said, I think I've decided that 236 is my favorite course this semester because of the nature of the material. Once you have a good understanding of proofs (thanks, 165) then it's not so bad picking up new material. The progression of material is also at a nice pace, and doesn't get overwhelming like some other "mathy" courses.
Hopefully my tired brain can pull its weight on tomorrow's test like it did the last time. I can't overstate how pleased I am that there's a break after this weekend though -- it should give me enough time to learn three week's worth of linear algebra after writing up a STA assignment.
