This week was a little rough for me. I felt like the labs had a lot of the "Now do the same thing for these other fifty nearly identical situations" in them. I suppose it is good because with us being so early in our understanding of python, rote practice and repetition helps drive home the basics but still, I get bored pretty easily.
Two things any readers can take away from this.
1) I have have practice altering one picture and one color, I don't feel like I need to practice altering a different picture and a different color in basically the same way. For huge portions of this weeks' assignments, I just copy pasted my code and changed one color to another.
2) I will take almost any opportunity to whine about a first world problem.
I ended up having fun with it though. I decided to investigate the mythical Ballmer's Peak. For the uninitiated, the Ballmer's Peak is when a programmer consumes the proper amount of alcohol to become uninhibited enough to think creatively, but not so inebriated that he or she vomits on the keyboard and loses complete control of their motor functions. I am not sure if I hit the peak after four martinis but I definitely had a good time during the investigation. Further research may be required.
