Midterm slump – 2A

I had to differentiate this term. Seeing as how there is a slump for every term.

I had some surprises this term. In terms of school, they were all bad. I thought I aced my cs245 midterm. It turns out I got a 67%. It seems I just didn’t understand one of the main questions.

While the grades are not released, I honestly feel like I failed my cs246 midterm. I actually left about half of the midterm blank, and I am not too confident about the stuff that I wrote down.

I’m pulling an allnighter on a Sunday night/ Monday morning so that I can get my schedule back on track. I am currently sitting in the big mac labs in MC. There is one other dude in here, he looks like he was masturbating a few moments ago. Now he is cutting his nails. 😦 Gross.

Learning to love

I am learning to love Computer Science. Slowly.

It is a love-hate relationship. I feel more and more discouraged at the beginning. But the feeling of enlightenment upon finding the solution is priceless. This feeling has not changed since grade 10. It is a great reminder of why I chose to go into CS.
Thank you.

The term is in progress. I have my worries, but I am more mellow this term. Chaos is brewing, but I feel pretty calm.

I had my first (real) interview. I fell very confident about it. I think I could have done better had I focused on the things I already knew prior to the interview.

Funny enough, although I did not get the job, I have absolutely no regrets. I learned a lot from this interview. It was a positive experience. I stayed true to myself and took risks (this risk did not contribute to my failure to secure the position). Prior to being paged, I spent 20 minutes debating on whether to bring my yearbook with me, or how I should bring it without looking unprofessional.
In the end, I decided to hold my head high and walk in with the yearbook unhidden. If there was a chance for me to showcase my work, then I will accept it along with its consequences.
Even if my yearbook did not help me, or made me look unprofessional, I still believe I made the right choice.

Missing my mom

…and she just got on her plane.

She’s going to be gone until the 24th of June, basically 2 months. My grandma has gastric cancer and there is no hope of saving. She has about 3 months left. I foresee every one’s life going into chaos.

I went, my head was blown off. I feel more secure. I feel more scared.

I got yelled at by my dad.

The end.

Changes and other story….. what the hell….

Turns out we’re not moving… oh mom, make up your mind.

The plan looks like it’s going to be the end of the month now. I don’t want to stay here longer than we have to, it kind of feels like we’re freeloading. @_@

On another unrelated note:

I’m on a mac, by the way.

Not organized again

I’m falling behind again! And it’s summer!!! damnit!

Sucesss! (at least 70% of it)

I finished my last assignment for virtual school today! I feel kind of acomplished, because last year I wasn’t determined enough to finish my American History course (from which I developed a vschool phobia).

Here’s are the statistics:

null

 In the last 24 days (june23-july17), I spent a total of 1 day, 20 hours and 48 minutes. I would say I spent a good 3 hours total in discussion boards and emailing assignments…. which means In the last 24 days, I spent 45+hours reading the text.

…which makes this period my most studious one.

 

The exam is next monday (3 days away), I also have a functions test on sunday.

 

Speaking of which, all the tests are open book… which kind of makes the whole thing pointless… what the point of testing your knowlege if you can look at your notes? I really don’t want any records of me being in this establishment.

Virtual School and Other Stories prt.1

This post is a rant. It is probably going to continue in other parts, but this is what I have so far:

1. The shitbag that can’t write.

I’m going to write this in a later post, after the event is over, just to avoid concequences that’ll make me eat sugar bears.

 

2. Schedules     

So here is a daily schedule.

• 11:00- wake up, shower, etc.
• 11:30- work on accounting
• 13:30- Try to get some math done.
• 14:00- Leave for math
• 20:00- Get home from Math, eat

I usually do one of two things at this time.

• work on accounting until about 6:00
• sleep until midnight, then work on accounting until 6:00

I do rotate between these two things every other day, mainly because I can’t stay awake if I keep going until 6:00 every day.

Of, here’s a copy of my calendar at virtual school. It’s not formal or anything, it’s just something that keeps me on track.

Obviously not every thing is on there, but most of the things are. As of today, there are 12 more days of virtual school left. I’ll definately be alright, all I have to do is hang on in those 12 days!
