Journal pagsz's Journal: The Blitz
It all started back in November with my second project for my CIS 370 course. The point of the project was to simulate different CPU scheduling algorithms. It was a whale of a time to write, let me tell you. It was a team project, so I had a partner working with me on it. Between November 13 and 14 (I believe, but around that time) we must have spent 16 hours staring at a friggin' computer screen. Man, was it fun. Hands down the biggest program I have ever written. It ended up being something like 17 pages of code. Admittedly, it was a bit bloated. I probably could have trimmed back a couple of pages if I had really wanted to, but I didn't. The damned thing worked, so I didn't really care if there was a little bit of redundant code in it.
The week of Thanksgiving I spent working on a project for my other CIS course, 360. I ended up finishing up a day late on it, so I get 90% credit. Damn my lazy ass! With that finished, it was time to focus on the paper.
I had a term paper due for the 370 course. Ten pages on the operating system of my choice. I chose Linux (the choice was made in September, the work began this past Thursday). With the paper due today, December 9, I had exactly 0 words written as of December 5. Another long day. Spent about eight hours on the Net, gathering information and stuffing whatever seemed relevant into my budding paper. Got 9 pages written that day. Finished up the last coupe of pages last night, and did a little bit of spit-and-polish this morning.
Oh, I almost forgot the third project for the 370 course. Also due today. I got fairly well into it as of Wednesday, so I should be able to polish it off today. Due today.
One more thing: I have a test today in my MTH 331 course. Probability. The probability stuff isn't that bad, but I've been struggling with the calculus. So, over the weekend I studied that.
Did I mention that during this period I've been working 35 hours a week on average? And a couple went over 40?
Anyway, this is the last week of classes. After finals next week, I get six weeks off from academia. Man, am I gonna need it. My frelling brain needs a rest.
