March 25, 2005Worst Day Ever!!!Yes! It was a very poopee day! It got better later and into the night though. Anyways, I had to face my one and only formidable and atrocious final for my one and only Computer Architecture class! It was incredibly hard and a bit short of impossible to complete! But I have noone but myself to blame for not studying at the beginning of the quarter and my lovely procrastinating nature of waiting until the last minute! But then again, after seeing how impossible the test was today. I really doubt any more studying would help that much at all! Moreover, for the record, for the past 5 days or so straight, I've been studying, reading, highlighting my thick book from the moment I woke up 'til the time I lie down to sleep (which usually is 6 in the morning!). I think if I were to study this much every day, I'd be well on my way on completing my PhD by now! Maybe I should start working this hard more often, it's a bit refreshing and different than the usual! It was a bit lonely and disparaging after isolating myself from the outer world for 5 days straight. I didn't really speak to anyone nor see anyone in this period of time nor did I even take a slight peak at the Sun once. I almost lapse into a depression! No kidding! The final was spectacularly horrible that I think most of the people in the class walked out asking themselves what the hell was that all about? Some people were asking questions like, "did you guys leave half of the test blank?" My reply was, "Nooo! but I did manage to scribble some nonsense down though!" Seriously, I think I have failed this final miserably! Even Judy, who sat right next to me, she's a Berkeley graduate and a current PhD student at UCI, and she was tripping out over the test too. I noticed her panicky flipping of pages of the final every few minutes. Man oh man, that was the hardest final I have taken, given the fact that it has very little to do with what he taught in class nor on the homework. It's like on a different level that we haven't gotten to or even expected from what we've learned! Worst enough as the final was, it IS the ONLY thing that is graded for the entire quarter! We had optional homeworks and no midterm. So it was a do-or-die situation! Terrible situation! Anyhow, I hope to get at least a B because a B- would mean a fail! Damn graduate school! I hope that I am not the worst failure of all the failures! Oh well, what's over is finally over. Time to move on... Oh and maybe in the next few days, I will post up the music piece that was put together for the dance performance I did with my Latin class a couple of weeks ago...check back later! ------ Comments

Darren, thanks, I hope I did okay too. Derek, good luck on your grades! Procrastination is key! Cedric, the final looked okay at first, but after looking over each problem carefully, I realized that all my studying amounted to nothing! That's what's sad about it!

Bah! There's nothing to learn in CS - all you do is hit reboot. If that doesn't work, reinstall the operating system. If that fails, hit it upside the case. Overgeneralization of CS? Not at all! |
