Monday is usually one of my longest days, classes-wise. First I have Operating Systems, then a two hour break, then Historical Geology and Public Speaking, then sometimes I have Early Music Ensemble Rehearsal, then Human-Computer Interaction. I've taken to skipping Historical Geology and HCI frequently because I don't get anything out of going to ( Read more... )

At last, my break has arrived. Finally I will be able to operate freely without having to wake up for class every day. Granted, I have schoolwork to do, but at least I will not have the time constraints that I do when I have class. Ahhh, how us VT students have longed for this break. Since we get no days off between the beginning of the ( Read more... )

Due to the last mountain of work upon me on this last schoolnight before break, I will post a pretty screenshot of Shimako to fill up blogspace.

On Friday afternoon, Thanksgiving break will begin. Before that, I have loads of work due because all the professors like to tie everything up before the beginning of break. Lucky me. I have two tests, lots of homework, and a speech all due. Then I have a programming project that is due the Monday after break ends. I'm guessing I'll have to ( Read more... )

Well, my program isn't working perfectly, but I decided to just turn it in as it is. It's already a day late and I was getting no where in debugging the last error. Hopefully I will get enough points on the other parts of the project that one error won't kill me.

Now, maybe I get to resume life outside of programming. ;)

Okay, so I'm not getting this program done tonight. There is a 10% late penalty per day, so I guess I'll bite the bullet and take it. I'm disappointed, since I am a perfectionist and I don't want to start out with only 90% possible points, but what can you do. I will finish tomorrow. I am so tired.

I have a program due at midnight tomorrow. I have been largely calm about it, although it was originally due at 8am tomorrow. I still have a lot left to do, but my general attitude is "I will get it done somehow" instead of "OMG NO TIME LEFT I AM GOING TO DIE." I originally said I would do an all-nighter tonight, but with the extension, I don't ( Read more... )

These are a little belated, but better late than never. Here's a rundown on the classes I'm taking this semester and my impressions of them.

COMM 2004 - Public SpeakingI hate hate hate this class. It's a necessary evil, however. It is a required class to graduate with a CS degree and it's also a prerequisite to another required CS course, ( Read more... )

I have to give a speech tomorrow for COMM 2004. *whimpers* It's the first in a trilogy of speeches. My topic for the trilogy is computer security. The purpose of the first speech is to inform, the second, to convince there is a problem or need, and the third, to persuade ( Read more... )
