I feel so dumb&#8230; I basically had the first problem solved, I was just screwing up the final step&#8230; if I&#8217;d sorted by reverse order (i.e. largest keys first) instead, it would have worked perfectly. I didn&#8217;t realize this until I&#8217;d walked out. Meh. At least I feel good about the second problem (basic fibonacci), although the fact that he gave me such an easy problem probably doesn&#8217;t bode well for my performance on the first problem.<br \/>\nThe interviewer was, however, 20 minutes late&#8230; and overall, he was kinda rude. I don&#8217;t know. I&#8217;ve never met an interviewer who was so dispassionate and such before. The least he could have done was apologised for being late, and he didn&#8217;t give me a chance to ask any questions at the end either. Meh. Microsoft, you can do better than that.<br \/>\n-_-<\/p>\n<p>Um&#8230;<br \/>\nMonday afternoon (or was it Tuesday?) there was an interesting adventure involving a scammer guy dude and me and a friend. Things turned out okay though, so yay.<\/p>\n<p>Classes are okay, I guess. I got a high C on the analysis exam (100% on all the problems except the one that I knew I couldn&#8217;t answer, which was unfortunately 25% of the exam), which makes me happy, given that it is analysis and it is hard. Graphics is starting to get unbearable, but I can&#8217;t drop it because it counts for both CS and photo, and it would put me back a semester. I dunno. I&#8217;ll get through it okay, I just really dislike the class.<br \/>\nNext week I have three midterms and two crits. This makes me unhappy. So much work and studying to do this weekend and such.<\/p>\n<p>Meh, and probably the biggest thing&#8230; I am now officially in a relationship, and I feel like the luckiest guy in the world.<br \/>\nNot much to elaborate on there.<br \/>\nWhee! *bounces*<\/p>\n<p>Mike sliding on acorns<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/journal2.alanv.org\/images\/mikeacorn.jpg\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I guess I should update about my life since my last update (that wasn&#8217;t deleted) :-P The interview with Microsoft went decently, I guess.
