Feeling like I’m drowning
Ok, it’s getting a bit ridiculous. In the next two weeks, I have to:
Do an algorithms homework that involves me figuring out a hash function to map all the periodic table of the elements. I fully expect this to take 10+ hours.
Do an operating systems project that involves some new stuff. Hopefully this one won’t be as big a deal…I might even be able to get it done in less than 10 hours. But, just for the assumption here, we’ll go with 10 hours.
I also have to keep up on my other homeworks and reading, which takes a few more hours. Quite a few more, if I really want to keep up on the reading, especially since I did manage to fall behind while I was working on that last project.
And, the real kicker, I have to do an algorithms project, which if the other project is any guide, will take me around 30 hours.
Add in 40 hours of work per work, plus and extra 5 or so hours for lunches and whatnot, plus an average drive time of 2 hours per day, 5 days a week, plus, y’know, sleeping….
336-80-10-20-112 = 114.
So apparently, I have approximately twice as many hours available as I actually need to get this done.
That’s reassuring to know, because it sure doesn’t feel like I have enough time. Bugger all.
As an added I’m pissed at myself bonus, I only got an 86 on the last test. I’m aware that everyone makes simple, stupid typo style mistakes, and I’m ok with that. But I only lost 3 points to that. I lost 11 points to shit I should’ve known better on. Not innocent mistakes, but errors.
BLAAAARGH!
