Gross Couple of Days

Really, it’s just a shitty few days in all honesty. Not only do I have class (ugh) but I have class with that God awful professor (again so soon?), but I also have some work due today in my Information Securities class and tomorrow I have a project due in my Cryptography course. I’ve been working hard on that project but I still have quite a bit to finish up, including a report on it. And to make matters worse, we have to present our project to the TA for the course tomorrow and Tuesdays are usually one of my days to not leave the apartment. So no fun at all there.

Other then that, I haven’t really had a whole lot going on, except for my intense fear of failing out this semester. The classes are quite boring (which ticks me off because I was actually excited about taking these courses before the semester began) and quite ridiculous. So now I’m worried about failing and I only have four more courses (two this summer and two in the fall) to finish before I graduate with my Bachelors. I think I’m just starting to get in that “worried” mode. Where I’ll be worrying about every little detail. I used to just want to make better than D’s in classes, but now that I’m so close to getting my Bachelor’s with a 3.75+ GPA, I feel a lot of pressure to try and finish with a 3.75+. To accomplish this, I’ll have to make an A in every course left (I think). So there is quite a bit of pressure to achieve that.

During class today, I noticed all the incoming freshmen that were starting Speed School in the fall, coming in to schedule classes today. I feel sorry for those poor bastards. They have no idea what lies ahead of them (a ridiculous requirement of a tablet PC, sub-par teaching, terrible English) and they are just happy-go-lucky. It’s funny though, because right now they have no idea that about a third of them will have dropped engineering as a major by the end of their first year. Oh well, at least they’ll know the joy of engineering for that first year. Then they’ll move on to bigger and better things, possibly even better schools. Oh well, I guess I need to start paying attention in this class.

  1. Sorry you feel so blue. Don’t worry about classes. You’re a smart kid, you’ll be fine.

  2. Yeah. Unfortunately, I feel that I will need to have more luck than wit for these classes.

  3. This is where I remind you that these are the best years of your life. It’s all down hill after college. Now doesn’t that make you feel better!!!

  4. Haha Thanks. If these are the best years, I’d hate to see what the worst years are going to look like. ;)
