Anatomy of an Engineering Student
Sep. 17th, 2008 01:36 pmGoing to be busy with thermo after class, that and doing my Wednesday Dining Hall Meal, because it isn't like I'm not already finicky with, um, scheduling.
To think, my sister is even more rigid than I am.
Collicock screwed up the homework, since he programmed it himself, and I have been given a reprieve and it's now due on Monday. Hallelujah. That fixes the End of Week Hell a bit. Just a little bit.
Just to give you an idea of End of Week Hell, and why I sort of disappear during those days especially:
( just a couple days )
I know, you're thinking, "well just start your homework earlier!" Um, no, it doesn't work like that. See, I have one class that has homework due EVERY CLASS, so I have to work on that nearly constantly, two classes that have stuff due on Fridays, one of which I hate, the other I love, one class that doesn't have homework, but instead has QUIZZES, so I have to do practice problems and spend a lot of time looking through older math books to understand things I forgot, and one class that will randomly be like, "oh hey, write a paper over this" (but that's my easy one, I tend to ah, write the paper in the break before the class before it XD).
Oh, and lab. That's a whole other beast.
Thing is, I can keep up with all this, but it like... it works weirdly. I end up doing my homework for my favorite class last because it's my favorite class; I don't have to spend a lot of extra hours understanding it, because it comes to me easier. Is it a gamble? Yeah. But it's been working. Last week I had EVEN MORE piled on the last few days because I lost my Tuesday to a lab report and that job fair BS.
I miss socializing and writing, but I make up for it by reading during my quick meals and talking to Drak, because hey, we're in a relationship and I can always make time to talk to her. I don't want to turn into a COMPLETE workaholic after all.
Anyway, this isn't a complaint, I just sort of wanted to parse the whole THIS IS MY LIFE thing. I'm glad that we've got a decent task division for PDM, because I didn't want to quit that. XD
But wow. Looking at that is kind of daunting. I think I've overstepped my free half hour and need to grab some food and possibly read some more Mrs. Dalloway. God, I envy you kid that get grades for reading stuff. XD
