Student Work Day – Day 15-22
The last couple of days have been pretty good. The essay due Monday pretty much took over my study hours until I finally turned it in yesterday, but that's OK. In Computer Science we got a cool assignment that I was really excited about, but I don't really know if I'll be able to implement as much extra stuff as I'd like to. :-) Otherwise, things have been relatively uneventful, work-wise. I played Left for Dead and raced Portal with friends on Friday night, and didn't work five hours on Sunday like I meant to (only three) because there I was invited to a Thanksgiving Feast at a frat, which was prettyy yummy. You can't complain with free food (that isn't pizza) anyway. :-D
Tuesday went fine, except for some inner emotional resistance on my part when trying to force myself to go out to the Math Support Center and get this chapter cleared up for me. I knew that I was avoiding this task because of some perceived difficulty, so that meant I needed to get on it (sigh), but I still didn't want to go, which is interesting. Procrastination is on some level caused by fear, but I (mostly) conquered it today by going out and finally starting that assignment due next week.
And Thanksgiving Break is here! While sorting out my calendar for the last couple of weeks, I decided that I'll definitely be doing work over break. I was hoping to get in 27 study blocks (50 minutes each) in, which would be about the same as if classes were still in session, except with some extra time because I won't have to worry about attending lectures or walking around campus...but this is probably being way too idealistic. One hopes? (My goal for next semester, by the way, is to be able to fully enjoy Spring Break!)
So far I have 8 study blocks logged. Hmmmmm - well, my CS assignment was much shorter than I anticipated, which leaves much more time for studying for finals! Yay?
