C++

I just took a pre-test in C++ to see how much I know
I think I got a few questions right
most of it I didn't know the syntax translation from Java to C++
but it wasn't as bad as I thought it was going to be
I understood some loops and assigning variables and stuff
which was cool
anyway this teacher is going to teach us C++ next week with a crash course. so that will be good. everyone has different levels of programming, some have never programmed at all (they have only used programs like dreamweaver and adobe)

all is well
lunch will be soon (in half an hour)
the cafeteria is nice
i like the horses a lot
they are so friendly
one waved its nose at me on my way back to my dorm yesterday, and it let me pet it
it was so cute. it was eating grass. chomp chomp

Update:

We also learned about the different projects everybody is working on. It was really interesting, all of the projects are so COOL. Right now I don't totally grasp my project on decision making in augmented reality. I'd like to have a clearer sense of the goal and what is do-able this summer. We should have timelines soon of what is expected. I'm looking forward to getting into the project though, right now the concept of the 'decision making process' is abstract. My group seems to agree. How do you employ these technologies to understand how people make decisions? It seems like decisions are made so quickly, in times of emergency especially, so how can you predict the outcome of your actions in order to made the best decision? Also, natural disasters, fires, can you predict how a fire will spread? It's very dynamic, no two fires are exactly the same. Would thinking about your actions impede the natural instincts you have and the urgency to run? I understand the main goal of the project is to learn how people make decisions, and the second goal is to help people make the best decision. I guess it just seems very instinctual to me. Take a fire for example, you take some factors into account, i.e. is a beam about to fall on my head? do you hear someone screaming for help? could there be kids hiding under their beds?, and then you take in what is around you, instantaneously, and then you move move move! How can you slow down to analyze how you choose to do the action you choose? All in all, there are many interesting questions to look at. Thought provoking.

Gary Klein wrote several books about this type of research, "Sources of Power" and "The Power of Intuition." I wonder if the library has copies of these books?
