Umm...

I was gonna post this a lot sooner, but then stuff happened and yeah, didn't get around to it.

Thursday:

Thursdays exams went well, even the math one. I remembered a lot of the calculus things from when I was in engineering. The networking exam after lunch was a breeze. That evening, I discovered I had high blood pressure which could partially explain my headaches and nosebleeds. My heartrate was really fast too. Perhaps, if I get some time, I'll have a doctor check.

Friday:

This day was hell. My head was pounding and I ached all over. I didn't want to get up and almost was unable to. My limbs felt so heavy.

The first exam was brutal. But I figured out bits of it.

Then I went to the mall for lunch and then saw the pets at the petstore. And I looked at these puppies. And one of them was crying. I wanted to pet him so badly but I couldn't. So I looked at chinchillas. They were so cute. And my parents won't let me have any more pets :(. So I got a siberian huskies calendar and they are sooooooo adorable.

Then I had to write my Digital Fundamentals exam. It didn't go well at all. I tried to remember the bits I payed attention to but... my head hurt so bad and I felt like puking. I wanted to get out of there. I panicked. I did maybe half of the test and of that half, I guessed on most of it.

Saturday:

Went out for a bit, then slept most of the day and all night.

Sunday:

Laid around, slept some. Did nothing I can remember.

Monday, tuesday:

See sunday.

Wednesday, thursday:

I had to work. It is very busy because Christmas.

-------------------------------------------------------

Now:

http://www.last.fm/user/nikuramon/ I'm at last.fm now. They actually have my kind of music there.

Got my marks, mostly passed, lol.

Math: C-

Soldering: A+

Basic Electricity: D+

Digital Fundamentals: F

C++ programming 1: A-

Career overview: pass

Open System Interconnection: B

I'm really surprised I passed electricity, especially since I didn't hand in most of the labs or assignments. I knew I was going to fail digital fundamentals. Laziness brought me down in programming and OSI.

Awww, my cat is sprawled on the bed, right next to me.

I took a bunch of pics the other day but only uploaded a few because of laziness.

I have to head to work pretty soon.

Thanks everyone who has been supporting me and keeping me mostly sane.

emo, finals, don't bother reading

*sighs* I'm so screwed.

Finals.

Tomorrow.

Two of them.

And one is math.

Which I am very close to failing.

The other one is internetworking.

I know open systems interconnection inside and out.

Friday is another two exams.

And then there is another one on some other day.

Fuck.

I have a bunch of programs due by 16:00 today.

I don't even get home till 18:00.

And I'm tired but wired at the same time.

//warning, emo ahead, you've been warned

I wrote my programming lab exam this morning. I completed two out of three programs. And the last one was almost working. But I ran out of time debugging. I want to blame Visual Studio for being such a piece of crap for quick debugging, but in the end, it is my fault. And... it really sucks that I could not complete the program. Programming is my passion, it is what I am good at. Well, I thought I was good at it.

I'm not even done being sick yet :(

And ofcourse I just have to be on the verge of a breakdown.

The fact that everyone else is all stressed and busy because of exams really doesn't help. The more crushed I get, the more clingy and needy. And I have no one to hold me.

I'm... feeling... I'm not even sure. I feel stressed and depressed. But it is overlaid with a cold, numbness.

I'm not even sure why I bother any more, because it isn't going to get any better as time progresses. I haven't become a better student. Infact I've gotten worse. I've lost almost all my ability to focus and I feel like I have no motivation anymore. I just want to curl up into a ball and kill -s TERM 1

//assuming my pid was 1, but I'm not that important

I just want to return my fucking zero and terminate.

I'm so sick and tired of all of this.

And it sucks when you want to talk to a close friend you like but they would rather talk to someone else. Or they are too busy and then when they are done, they have someone else to talk to. Or you are talking to them and someone calls and they are more important.

...*breathes deeply* I could go on, but... yeah, no one wants to hear me whine.

I want to get home and crawl into bed. And talk to friends. Please.

And then sleep.

(some guys from a linux class were sitting by me and were worried about their exams and I jumped in and told them the correct commands and how to use them and it was so fucking obvious but I think this must just be a stupid class or something cause I know more than them and I've never taken the course)

ack finals

I worked Friday night and Saturday. Had Sunday off. I played a little

beatmania. That game rocks.

Health:

As for my cold... it feels a little worse (though it is a monday so I can't be

sure). Throats been a little sore (not gonna keep

me from talking though). I think it may be a sinus infection, due to the

symptoms and the discharge. But especially the pressure in my sinuses. Been

sort of headachy lately.

Code:

Sunday afternoon, I realized that I really needed to finish my coding

assignments. I hove no problem doing them, for the most part, but I've been

letting them pile up.

Code maintainability is very important. Efficient, clearly written code with

lots of commenting is good. The assignment 'Lab 5' built off of 'Lab 4' (labs

just being major coding assignments, not the inclass ones). I didn't think I

was going to reuse such a stupid program, so I didn't waste time with it.

Unfortunately, this made the modifications more painful than they should have

been. After triple checking my code I debugged to try to figure out why it

was not working. I stepped through the code, line by line a few times till I

found the problem. And it was something really stupid and I already forgot

what it was but I did comment in the code where I found it. So in the end,

the program is essentially kludge and should be rewritten, but there is no

time.

Oh yeah, forgot to mention. I work tonight. 6-11pm

Final Exams:

Yep, it's that time again.

Please Note: If I get mad or snap at you (very unlikely, but just in case) I'm

just under a lot of stress and it isn't anything personal.

Anyway, finals are approching too quickly. I'm not ready. And it is my own

fault. Also, I may have failed a course because I forgot to hand in a lab or

two. I may or may not be around much for the next week.

Overall, I'm actually doing pretty good for a monday.
