A Picture Tells 32,000 Bits

As I mentioned in a previous blog, I have a full semester this fall. All my homeworks and lab reports are due Wednesdays through Fridays, plus I have at least one exam every week.

As you can imagine, classwork catches up to you fast. By Tuesday night, you realize the magnitude of all that you have left to do. I mean, if you don't finish most of your work on Tuesday, your Wednesday is going to be sleep-less. And I have an 18-240 exam on Thursday!

So if you don't want your work to pile up on you...
...do more work on the weekend. Then maybe you can get some sleep on weekdays, too.

Two for September

I don't know why I feel compelled to write blogs when I should be studying for impending exams. Then again, if I was actually studying instead of blog-writing, no one would hear from me until mid-October! As of last week, I have at least one exam every week until finals, except for the week of mid-semester break in October. Dropping 15-111 did not help a bit in that regard.

The first Concepts of Mackey (as we endearingly call that course) exam is on Wednesday. I hope we move on quickly, because I'm getting sick of proof by induction. Stats is on Thursday. 5 hours later, homework is due (same class). Not to mention Physics homework, a lab report, Computer Engineering homework, Econ homework, all due at varying times between 6:30 PM on Wednesday to 12:30 PM on Friday.

I generally like my homework schedule (most work is due on Thursdays and Fridays), because I use weekends to my advantage (=> no procrastination). On the other hand, once exams get thrown into the mix, work begins to pile up. There's only so much time in a day. Then you need to sleep.

It's finally weekend!

Although the week seemed to go by fast, Friday always seems to drag on and on. And that's with me cheating by going to the Computer Science lecture of Concepts! (The same material is taught, just an hour earlier).

The fire alarm in Doherty Hall during Physics II lecture didn't help make the day go that much faster, either. We stood for 20 minutes in the nice, warm sun hoping the alarm would keep going off for another 15 minutes so that we could enjoy it longer. Some classes move outside during such nice weather. Why not Physics?

This weekend will be eventful: tomorrow there is going to be a potluck at my apartment with friends of Rika's and mine. Afterward, there's a ballroom late night in the University Center. Basically, the ballroom club runs a couple free lessons, gives out some free food, and there's dance music on from 9 to 1. Sunday is sophomore brunch (more free food...oh, and they have a speaker, an alumnus from the College of Fine Arts; that's why I'm going, of course).
