Happy times, sad times

Well sad times because my brother and niece just left, they came to visit unexpectedly well not for me since I new of the visit. But it was a surprise visit for my parents, this past Saturday was my dad's birthday and we had a blast. Lots of families and friends came to visit. Also we went to the beach yesterday and it was awesome, lots of fun times there with the family. :-D But they had to go back today, my brother still needs to finish a few things for his PhD studies and then time for him to go to work. Cool isn't?!

Well today I find if I drop the class I'm taking, the professor sent an email yesterday with a bonus for our 3rd take home work. Apparently we are failing the class somehow, could it be the uncertainty the professor has shown in not explaining the types of analysis he asks for. Or could it be his unwillingness in answering some of our questions, I mean I was about to call him incompetent one time in an email conversation we had. If you see this 0 * log (0) without any type of explanation the answer to this is error, log(0) yields error no mater what. Well said that anything multiplied by 0 is 0, which to my understanding is wrong error can't be multiplied by anything since it's something wrong that has yielded. It wasn't until he sent me the explanation of the formula we were using that it has been stated that when you see 0 * log (0) = 0, that is the only way when you can say that log(0) =0 is when it has been stated. He said from day 1 that the course would have a hands-on approach, yeah fucking right...

Anyways, from past experience if I see I'll be failing this course I'll just drop it. Nothing good will come-out if I try to keep doing this and not learn much from this course. What it'll hurt is that I'm paying for this classes out of my pocket, and it's a lot of money to waste away. Guess I'm dumb, I should've taken a course that was a necessary for my studies and not a special topics class. And I thought I had learn from my first time going through this Master's Studies. Buuu for me!
