Week 9: My life is a doubly linked list....?

Ignore the title if you want to. I'm tired and it's the first thing I came up with.

Feeling somewhat defeated by this week, I decided to write my post earlier than usual. The time I spend blogging is really relaxing for me.

Here are the highlights from CS 313E this week:
We discussed singly linked lists and doubly linked lists in detail. In continuation of our focus on Python data structures, we explored linked list data types. It's really helpful for me to actually draw the linked list and visualize the effects each attribute has on the information in the list.

My name was *finally* called in class. Of course it was called when I was least expecting it. Thankfully (hopefully), I answered my question gracefully. My name was called during one of our usual post-quiz discussions on Wednesday. I was tasked with the discussion of number 2 on Quiz #21. The question was, 
"What data member could you add to sllist to make it possible to define append() and pop() efficiently?"  and the correct answer is 'none'.

There was no quiz today (Friday). Shocking. Really a shocker for me. Now I'm kind of scared for what Professor Downing has planned for Monday's quiz. Will it be twice the length of regular quizzes? Will it count for twice as many points? Was there really no quiz today? So many questions.

We got our Exam 1 Scores back. While I'm not upset about my grade, I'm opting for 'no comment' on this subject :) --Maybe next week...

Our third class project was due. Again, no comment. 

And with that, I'm off! See y'all next week.
