Yet another double shift on Phones
Finally got off work at 3.00. I did a double shift from 8.30 am till 3.00 pm and now I have a class to go to from 5.30 pm till 7.00 pm. *sigh*
Well... at least the course is interesting. It's "Introduction to Theory of Computation" It's a good break from sytax. This course is all about analyzing computer science in a more theoretical way. It's pretty interesting to see how computer science, logic, psychology and philosphy all come together.
For those of you who are genuinely interseted, these are the books we use.
