First SLOG of the year!

The first two weeks of University was not as bad as I thought it would be. Time went by a lot faster than I thought it would. I feel like it is because I learned a lot from my courses, such as CSC165. On Monday, before heading to CSC165, I looked over the PDF slides and I wondered what the heck is an upside down "A" and a backwards "E"? After attending class, I learned that ∀ means "for all" and ∃ means "there exists." Also, I found an example of implication Mr. Heap amusing. In his PDF he wrote "if you eat your vegetables, then you can have dessert" and said that his mother said that to him. From that example I learned how an implication does not necessarily go both ways, so having dessert does not necessarily mean you ate your vegetables.

As of now, I feel fairly confident about the material I learned this week. However, earlier this week I did not feel confident. I felt very confused and was unsure about the material because I'm taking MAT135. In MAT135 the professor never went over the symbols and terminology, so I was at a disadvantage from those who took MAT137 because their professor did go over symbols and terminology. Right after the lecture I felt lost in I started reading the course notes to catch up and went ahead of the class. The lectures after that felt like a breeze and it was a good decision to read the course notes.
