Regular Expressions

I am finding this section of the course to be the most satisfying. I find RE's are a material I can grasp a little easier and thus am enjoying writing the problem sets. I even looked over the assignment and it seems to be easier than A2 or A1. Normally when I begin an assignment, I print it out and mark in red my thoughts and ideas before seriously attacking the problems. A3 is a sea of red to my eyes.

Or it could be that I received my A2 mark and it was decent, boosting my morale. Or the fact that I somehow managed to get a perfect score on a problem set for once, a pretty decent achievement for someone with a logic deficiency.

Lately I've been trying to develop applications for the iPhone platform. A regular expression checker came to mind. Then the entire idea of writing software specifically for UofT students came next. Software to aid csc students. I like where this is going. There's no better way to understand the material I'm being taught than through application.

Or maybe I'm dreaming too hard.
