Studying Is Cool

Since I have two finals on Wednesday I decided that it would be in my best interest to begin studying today. So, I did. I studied INFO at work after Jamie got off of her shift and then when I got home I hit the CSE books for around 4 hours. Mostly the time was spent dissecting all of the lecture slides since the last midterm and doing the new practice problems, but still, it was good review and I feel pretty confident about the material. Even more so since the test is open book and open notes.

But, earlier today when I went to work I was just totally out of it. I don�t really know what my deal was. I just couldn�t focus on anything and I was just being a complete scatterbrain. I would be talking to Jamie and then I�d totally forget what we were talking about and be like, �Hrm, could you repeat that, I wasn�t listening.� I�m hardly ever like that and when I am it is just really strange.

Also, tonight I had a brief phone call with my ex-girlfriend. It was nice to catch up on things and to just see how things are going. It�s nice to talk to her too see how she is and to see what she is up to. It�s hard to not be able to just chill every once and a while with her, but a phone call will do.

Like today, tomorrow will be more studying CSE and INFO for the finals on Wednesday. So, pretty jam packed with excitement. I know you are all not jealous, so no need to tell me. But, the rest of the week will be nice and relaxing before I head off to Whistler, B.C. for break.

Today + Forward Thinking

Again I come to you all late at night after a day that was just like all of my other days, busy. I managed to get up to MGH today to get some help from Kevin and David on the CSE homework that is due this Friday. I’m not worried about getting it done, but I just want to be solid on how the process works for what it is asking. I think that I get most of it, but I am not sure on all of it. If I spend a little time tomorrow at work looking at it, I am sure that I will figure it out.

School and the converstation to come

Well, today was yet another boring, yet interesting day in the life of me. Networking is pretty much over at this point and my mind is kind of off and on in that class. We turned in out final lab project today and we should get the full credit on it. I also worked on and completed my part of our 311 paper. This was not as hard as I thought, but it’s only a first draft and it’s going to suck, but oh well. We have revisions to make to it anyways and I have more than a week to get it right for the final product. So, with that done, all I have left to do is work on this last lame ass CSE project. I’ll be so glad when this class is over. I mean, I can dig programming and all at times, but geeze I hate some of this stuff.

Anyways, back to yesterday� After work, I ran into Sandra, who is also an Informatics major. We talked about how work was and other random things like what buses we take to get home. But, then when we got on the bus, that is when the good conversation began.

It was interesting to talk to her about school and what she thought of classes. How she also thinks that one of our professors doesn’t always know what he is talking about in class. We also talked about the internal conflicts of some people in the major and how that all came to be and what we thought of it. Needless to say we differ on some things, but we agree on a lot of things too, which, was kind of shocking to me. I thought that I was more different from her than I really was and I kind of wished that we could have talked longer. The conversation was going well and then I had to get off of the bus. But, there are always other days to continue this conversation.

In other news, tomorrow will be way easy in class and work and I’m making dinner for Jula, Diana and maybe Kony (if he’s around). So, yeah, stuffed pork chops and potatoes here I come!

Tired

Sitting here, bored, in class I decided to write a little post. This week hasn’t been as bad as I thought it would be. All I have to do now is research for our 311 paper. This shouldn’t be that bad, but it will be more time consuming than anything. So, that is all I really have to do until next week… I’m sure that I’ll have something more constructive later.

Keep It Steady

I have too little motivation right now to do the work that needs to be done. I spend time doing other stuff that can be done later, but instead I choose to do it now. I mean, maybe I am making a bigger deal out of what I have to do. However, the way I see it is that I need to set little tasks to do daily and make the stuff more manageable to complete. I did this today, by saying that I wanted to get caught up in my CSE readings and my INFO readings (still need to do). But, by typing here I am not completing any of my tasks, so off I goÖ

Productivity and the Two Weeks to Come

There seems to be so many things to do, and all of this time to do it. With the quarter winding down the crunch begins and the “real” students start to show what they are made of. What I mean is that it is easy to come and go to class day in and day out, but it takes something else to handle all of the deadlines and requirements that are bestowed upon a full time student. Over the next two weeks I will have important projects, papers, and labs due in all of my classes. I anticipate that I will get them all done. No, wait, I don’t anticipate that I will I KNOW that I will. It is just a matter of quality.
