Under a Pile of Books

Filed under Uncategorized //

In case you were wondering where I have been for the past few days:

Read the title. :-)

Next week is going to be one blazing-fast week I am getting the feel of. Hell, this week went blazing-fast to begin with, and now it’s Saturday?!

Here’s a Run-Down of my Next Week:

By the way, whenever I make a reference to a specific day (such as “Tuesday” or “Wednesday”) – I am referring to this coming week on those days – unless I give a specific date.

Economics (ECO 105)
———————
Quiz on Monday
Test on Friday
– Need to get a good grade on test

Politics (POL 140)
———————
Review Session on Monday
Test on Wednesday
– Class is Finished on Wed. if I get a good grade on the test…
– Need to read chapters and make notecards for test…
If not a good grade on the Test on Wed: Final on May 10
– Comprehensive Final (Covers EVERYTHING over the entire semester)

Cognitive Science (IDS 265)
——————————
Daily Assignment Due on Tuesday
Take-Home Final (A 5-6 Page Paper) Due on May 9
15-Page Paper “Special Project” Final Version due on Friday

Professional Practice (ITK 191)
———————————-
“Final” - Mock Interview on Monday
Class is Finished after this Monday

Systems Development I (ITK 261)
———————————-
Test on Thursday
– Need to Read chapters, make notecards, etc.
4-Part “Assignment” Due on Thursday
‘Late’ Part for Assignment 2 Due on Tuesday

And I have to do laundry and start getting ready to move back to Lincoln for the summer.

And wholly crap I hate my Cognitive Science instructor - Let’s review: I have a 15-page paper (a MAJOR part of the class) due on Friday (No later than Friday).

And then the test is a TAKE-HOME-FINAL for that same class…another 5-6 page paper. For the same class?! Oye.

Oh yeah, and my computer contracted not one virus, but SEVENTEEN VIRUSES from the Internet. I was NOT happy.

So I reformatted my harddrive and here I am - sure my computer runs like lightning, but I mean come onnn - the Virus Gods could have spared me until AFTER finals, you know? ;-)

Oh yeah and not to mention that as SOON as finals are over, I have to (1) Be moved out of my dorm by Sunday, May 14 and (2) I switch to the “Development Team” that Monday, May 15.

So if you don’t hear from me for a few…days…the entire weekend…this week…the next couple of weeks…not until the start of summer break…

Don’t be surprised.

Whoa…looks like you got a ton on your plate there. Good luck with all your finals. That’s one aspect of college life I DO NOT MISS.

I recall that you did much more blogging during the summer months - I think that’s right. I started blogging last July and your posts were more frequent.

So there’s a lot to look forward to very soon from you. Take care!
