6/16 - So Ed hasn't heard from Jay about the dynamic analysis of the source code yet, but that's okay, because Yuanfang and Sunny decided they want us to learn XSLT and write transformation stylesheets for doxygen XML output and make it into a way that can be input for Minos so that DSMs can be generated. It's ok if you don't understand that, because I'm not sure what it means either. All it sounds like is that it's going to make my next 5 weeks here a nightmare. That's pretty much all I heard in the meeting today. I am really not looking forward to this project. And I don't think I'm ever going to grad school.
6/18 - Lexie was supposed to get here tonight, but her and her mom decided to wait until tomorrow morning to leave, so that was kind-of a bummer. Work is stressing me out entirely. XSLT is unlike anything I've ever worked with before and I'm having a hard time grasping it, not to mention the fact that Sunny packed up and split this week. Hardly ever is there anybody in the lab now that school's out, so we're pretty much stranded on this project by ourselves with no guidance from anyone... it's really stressful. My parents told me to just spend the weekend with Lex and her mom and not worry about anything else, leave work at work and such... I'm going to have to, because all of this stuff is driving me crazy.
6/19 - Doing my best, but it's hard. I've tried to learn XSLT, and I'm so close to understanding it that I can taste it, but there's just that little bit that I still don't get because nobody's sat down with me and said "Here's why this happens..." Sunny was usually who we got to explain that kind of stuff, but he split, so now, I just sit and stare at some example XSLT stylesheets he wrote for some other programs and struggle to figure out that little bit that I'm still missing about how to program in XSLT. It's frustrating. But the good news is that I'm giving up for the weekend to relax and spend time with my best friend and her mom, so yay! |
