I had my first exam (in dADS) last Monday.
It was a written test that lasted four hours. It wasn’t exactly an easy
exam, there was four major questions each with three or four subquestions.
I answered all the subquestions except one. Now we’ll just have to wait for
the result.
The next exam is also a written test, this time in Probability Theory. It’s
a week away now, so I have plenty of time to get prepared. I’m also pretty
confident with this exam because we have done a lot of training with the
questions from previous exams. It’s the same four questions each year —
the numbers are just a bit different :-)

It’s time for the exams — I’ll be working at problems in
dADS for four hours this Monday… So
things will probably be somewhat quiet here at gimpster.com the next month
or so. Bye for now!

I’ve received a couple of mails with reports about the price on Coke. It
seams that although I only paid about $1 for 1.5 liter, then you can get
it cheaper in the US — about $1 for 2 litre :-) It really makes you
wonder what this stuff really costs to produce? Not much I guess…
I’ve only consumed three bottles so far, which is a bit below the limit of
half a liter per day if you’re interested :-) But I’m having my first exam
in just 13 days, so I’ll need more caffeine at that time :-)

The nearby Føtex shop had a special low price on Coca-Cola today, so I’ve
just brought back 20 bottles :-) Each bottle is 1.5 litre so that’s 30
litre total :-) Fantastic — I wonder how long they’re going to last? (I
feel, that they ought to last at least the next two months. If they don’t,
then it means, that I’m be drinking more that half a litre of Coke
everyday, which cannot be good for my teeth :-)
Coca-Cola is quite expensive here in Denmark, but today the bottles costed
just 9 kr. each (about 1 USD) which is almost 50% less than
their normal price. I wonder how much Coke costs in the US?

The weather is finally getting better: the sun is shining and the
temperature has reached 15 °C several times. It’s wonderful to be
able to be outside without having to wear thick gloves all the time. It’s
also as if my daily ride to and from Aarhus
University is shorter know that the weather is
improving…
Tomorrow is a Danish Holiday so this weekend will be a little longer than
normal. I should probably use some of that time to read in my books: the
time for my exams are moving closer. I have four exams this semester:
written and oral exam in Mat11
which is Mathematical Analysis, written exam in SS1 which is Statistics
and Probability Theory 1, and then another written exam in
dADS which is Algorithms and Data
structures in Computer Science. I only had two exams last semester, so
this is a little frightening.
