Looking For Myself

I am a CSE student of Rajshshi University. At the time of this post, i am in 2nd year. This year i had my first national programming contest. Not only one….there were three . Actually i was not prepared for contest. 5 days before the contest, one of our elder brother of Masters, Ashraf vaia, called me on phone and asked, have i any problem to go on a national contest or not…i told…i am not much prepared. He told, that s not a problem…as it would my first ever contest, i then said, Yes . With another classmate, i went to Department, submitted details and photos and got registered for contest. It was ” National Computer Programing Contest 2008″ hosted by “University of Liberal Arts Bangladesh” in short, ULABNCPC 2008. October 16-17,2008 was the date.

We were Two Teams from Rajshshi University. First one was ” RU_Kernel ” ,team of seniors, and we, ” RU_Infinity”, junior team. We heard , there was another contest on next friday, at BUET. Our coach told us, if we can do well, we, the junior team would participate on that contest. But we ware afraid of doing worse, getting nil .

But at the end of contest, we found, we have done surprisingly well (for a new comer) . we got 24th place , even that was better than the senior team.

And we got registered for the BUET CSEDAY NCPC too

Result was not so good. We got 36TH place. Still, have not got nill, solved one

Then comes the 3rd an final contest. ACM-ICPC-2008,Dhaka site. It was just 14 days after the Buet cse day contest. A change had been made in teams. I had been included the senior team “RU_Kernel” as a replacement of a team member.

The result was good for me, bad for other members of this team. 18th of 85 teams.

I am not a good writer. So hopefully this was a boring post. I am new…so, let me be old enough to write good
