Oh, the horror.

The sucky term is almost over! Fortunately, I got through the horrifying hell weeks alive and partially breathing. HAHA! The past 2 weeks were the ugliest of all. Here's what happened, as far as school is concerned:

March 24th-28th: Departmental Exam Week
I had my 2-part ALGOCOM exam for Monday and Wednesday, THEOCOM was on Tuesday and Thursday, and INTROOS that Friday. Yes, it was awful. I had an exam each day of the week. And to top it all off, the exam (yup, another exam) I was supposed to take for the company I was applying for (for my practicum) fell on that same week (Thursday). As a result, I missed the second part of my THEOCOM exam. I asked my professor if she could let me take a make-up exam for it and she was kind enough to agree, scheduling it the day after (Friday). So I had 2 exams that Friday, plus I attended a symposium for SOCTEC2 because we were required to do so. It was scheduled in between those 2 exams so maybe you can guess what I did throughout the duration of it -- SLEEP. Thankfully, everything turned out okay.

The weekend after that was also stressful. I had projects due to coming week and I'm juggling them all at once. My fault, I know. I wasn't even able to attend Church and do my duties there because I was running out of time. Gratefully, Pastor Jon was considerate about it. He even gave me some readings entitled "How to Win over Stress" and "When You Are Under Pressure". It didn't cure my panic attacks right away. But it gave me hope. And hope is not something you want to not have.

March 31st - April 4th: Project Demonstration Week

This, for me, is the ugliest week of the term :)) I have 3 project demonstrations due that week. Monday, I took the 2nd set of exams for my OJT application. Tuesday, I submitted and demonstrated my machine project for GRAPHIX. Wednesday we presented our topic for the ALGOCOM Symposium. I think our group has the LARGEST number of attendees so you could just imagine the horror me and my groupmates went through. Haha. Thursday was my break day. I have nothing due that day. Friday, we had our project demonstration for INTROOS. We were asked to familiarize ourselves in using a different operating system (Linux/Unix) by performing basic operations via the terminal window. I chose Ubuntu because Jay already has a cd of it so I didn't have to download it from the net. It turned out pretty okay.

Now I'm relaxing a bit. Enjoying the little me time that I could possibly have before I start studying for finals. So there, I just gave an update on how I wasted the past 2 weeks of my life with school. Hahaha! As much as I want to stay as far as possible from it this summer and just have fun, I really want to get my practicum over with. So job openings, anyone? Talk about desperate. XD



Tilt your head.
