(no subject)
holy cow i feel overwhelmed. yesterday was such a good day... what happened?!
i think class this morning just kinda set me over the edge. my prof's like jen we need to talk about your homework (apparently i was suppsoed to do it on two different spreadsheets for some reason and i didn' show enough work so he gave me an 80 even though i got the right answers). and then he comments about how i shouldn't be in such a hurry to get thigns done all the time. but i'm like, listen buddy. i know more about excel than you ever will. please don't expect me to listen to you explain how to do things the long way, or tell me i have all the time in the world to do it the way you like it. I have no time outside of class to do your retarded homework, so i'm going to work on it now, while you're explaining to the class how to do it. Don't look at me like i'm the stupid one here just becuase i don't give you or your class the time of day.
in other news, i took a bit of responsibility for our senior design project so things would get done. we now have a to do list with assignments, and a deadline of tomorrow. Yikes. It would be great if we could count on the other 3 team members for help. Buuuttttt, we can't. so that sucks. wahoo! more assigments for us!
then, my hybrid team leader's like ok so here's the deal. Your job is to support the structural team with their analysis. Here's the problem. they can do it by themselves faster than they can get you to understand it, do it, and then check it. So that's that. But, you're going to have to get over that, learn it yourself, and help them as best you can. Which, for me, means i have to learn, in a couple weeks, a program more complicated than the one i learned in an entire semester (and still don't really know how to use). So Ryle, the head guy, is like well, you can at least do some research on materials. find me soemthing that is thermally conductive, but not electrically conductive. and make it super strong. Great. Let me just run to lowe's and ask them... not. So pretty much i have to research composites, which i've never worked with in my life, since all they teach us in civil is steel and concrete. oh boy!
on top of those fun tasks, i have a prob and stat test tomorrow that i need to cram for, since i don't really know anything. not that it's hard stuff, it's jsut a lot of memorization and time, which i don't have. but i will be angry with myself if i don't get a solid A, so study i will.
i think i've done enough complaining now...
i can't wait till sunday. i wish i had time to go to church during the week... it always puts things into perspective for me and calms me down.
i just keep reminding myself there's less than 30 class days left. if college were a race, now would be the time to kick.
i've decided that i have the same struggles in running as i do in school. i'm too musy worried about the end result to actually focus in on the doing of the task at hand. i'm not really sure how to fix that, other than to just focus on the task instead of the overwhelming difficulty of reaching the end product. how does one focus?
