So I admit I'm a

So I admit I'm a whiney bitch. I'm sorry for this. If you're not sure what I’m talking about, read the post below about why Engineering blows.

Yet, all my being a wimp aside, and knowing that I won't transfer out or drop out or fail out or even get lower than a 3.5 by the time Freshman year is over, at least admit that Engineering blows.

It's Monday night, 9:45PM, and I'm blowing off WNUR so I can study. Granted, I should have my wrists slapped for being some sort of hypocrite and not doing the work I have and instead posting on this website, but I'm making this one quick. Imagine this post not as a post for me to whine with, but as a post about what I’m up to. Because that’s what I used to post about, just what’s been going on. Now you know why I stopped posting, because the same is always going on.

Basically, tomorrow is a midterm in Honors EA4, a.k.a. Honors Differential Equations. I have three or four weeks of material to catch up on. I’ve done none of the homework, because we don’t have to turn it in. So, tonight I will do about 4 chapters worth of diffeq’s, from 2nd order to resonance and what not. Tonight I will not sleep.

Wednesday, I have due the usual Honors EA3 problem set which tends to take a good 5-10 hours depending, plus the usual ECE problem set which usually takes 1-3 hours. Also, Tuesdays I have class till 4, WNUR till 6:30, and Peer Advising till 7:30 or 8:00. This is why the homework is started so late and why (if you recall) Tuesday I will not sleep.

Thursday I have my EDC design proposal due and an Honors EA3 quiz that night. I’m done with shit on Wednesdays by about 7:00, and then it is cram time. Wednesday I might sleep.

So Friday is lab time, so when I’m done with that quiz on Thursday and yet another meeting, it’s usually about 9 or 10 at night. Most people are heading out to clubs, the keg, or to a party, and I’m in my dorm room doing ECE lab. The last time I fell asleep at five on accident because I couldn’t physically sustain myself (as usual) but this time I hope not to sleep until it’s finished at whatever time that might be.

So, best case scenario I don’t sleep till Wednesday night … We’ll give that a 48 hour awake period. Worst case scenario, I don’t sleep till Friday night. We’ll call that 96 hours.

I love this cycle. Oh, and today … Emma had a pool party back in Louisville and actually IM’ed me in order to invite me.

John.
