Nathan pinpointed the last bug in our compiler, and I put in the (exceedingly simple) fix. Basically, declared pointers and structures weren't actually being allocated on the heap, so they would just grab random addresses from registers at initialization and pretend that they lived there. Surprisingly, this hostile-memory-takeover behavior went completely undetected by 95% of the test cases, so we would have gotten an A for this assignment even in the presence of such a full-of-stupid bug. Now that it's fixed, we're up to 100% performance on the student test cases, and hopefully we'll be very close to that for the TA cases too. I declare victory.
The Hub has hopefully finally fixed my borked loan situation. Apparently CMU knew that I'm a December graduate, but the information hadn't propagated to one of the loan companies. With that repaired, maybe I can finally get that balance-on-account problem fixed and be allowed to graduate. ^_^
I've scratched applying for the NSF fellowship; I'm still missing two key recommendations, and my shit is insufficiently together in other regards. Such is time management.
I'm feeling somewhat better. Since my psychology term paper got moved forward a week, my obligations are in more or less linear order until the end of finals. This confers to me the enormous relief of not having to worry about many things simultaneously (my performance drop on n parallel tasks is O(n^2) or worse, just because of my context-switching stress response). The only consistent overhead comes from grad school applications and basic living tasks (friends, laundry, not forgetting to eat, not forgetting to sleep).
Here goes everything.
