Lately, my computer science class has been incredibly full of worksheets and quizzes and papers and other stuff that's all about references and parameters. While I do understand the importance of these concepts in computer science, I though we had finished the unit about a week ago. I'm just glad we are done now, or so I think. And yes, I do understand the lessons. The recent lab we did was one of the most tedious ones I've done in a while. But no worries, because all this practice should pay off in the end.

QWEROGFH and ciphers!
I remember last year in computer programming when we briefly went over ciphers. It was a simple time. The lab only consisted of shifted the letters in a word by a set number, while my most recent one consisted of an all-out Vigenere. The Vigenere shifts each letter in a word by the amount corresponding to the respective letter in the keyword. While this posed a challenge, my partner and I finished it handily. This lab really widened my view on cryptography, which seems like a really interesting and complex field. I'm eager to see if our class can do some more cipher labs in the future.
