love/hate

Dear Comp 15,

You are really something. You’ve shown me the versatility of linked lists and the beauty of binary trees, not to mention the simple pleasure of cutting off constants for Big-O notation. However, I’m feeling a little dampened by our relationship these days. You’ve been pretty needy; I mean, a dozen hours in a week for one project is a bit much, don’t you think? And you’ve been messing with my mind the way you manipulate me. One day you’re tempting me with your elegant recursion algorithms and the next day you’re turning me into your slave. But I keep going back, keep putting my hand in your fire. And where has it gotten me? Here at your feet with shot expectations, begging for small victories, celebrating the mere completion of a monstrous code that I am too afraid to compile. Oh, to love a torturer. Back to coding (due at midnight).

Yours forever for the semester,

Faith
