Today’s Totals - Jan 26th, 2009
Today was a weird day. It’s kind of a long day with perhaps a couple of high pressure classes. The morning starts with Algebra, followed by Statistics. Neither are particularly tough classes (at least for me). Without a break we go into an Electricity lab, with the nutty professor. It started with a quiz that I think was very easy (just two questions), although we did two labs today, which made it time consuming. It wasn’t too bad, and we got both done (primarily because I answered some of the questions that I could before the lab). We got 9/10 on both previous labs… so I’m okay with that (I didn’t see a 10/10, so that makes me feel okay about it).
The big problem came after the lab. We had an hour and twenty minutes before CAD, and since the lab is empty I decided to head there. Technically you can’t eat in the lab (but everyone does), and you definitely can’t in the open access lab. This was a huge mistake. There were lots of people there and people are trying to complete the drawing for today (which should have been done except for the new stuff today), people wanting to compare sectional views for next week’s drawing, people asking questions about Minitab (out stats package), people asking questions about our Problem Solving lab (due Thursday).
I GOT NOTHING DONE!
I was just going to decompress after electricity and surf the net, catch up on logs, etc. I got I think one post made and never got back to it. I think Mon/Wed/Fri I’m going to take my laptop and then hide from people during my longer breaks. Last semester I took it a couple of times, and I think I had a problem with getting the wireless to work. However, even if I don’t get that figured out, I could have finished my Minitab project and worked on next week’s CAD file. I’m starting to lose my patience a little. To some extent I don’t mind helping people (if I can) since it helps me learn better. However, I can’t help everyone, all the time, at the same time.
There you go, venting over. By the time I got out of CAD (thankfully early) I had a blinding headache. I’m not sure though that some of it isn’t food related. I think next week I need to plan a lower calorie dinner and try fitting in a few snacks as well. Breakfast was at ~7:30am, Lunch was at ~1pm and I left the afternoon snack until I was home ~4:30. So, I’ve made a list of homework to do for tomorrow (to keep me on track). So the plan is to get up reasonably early and do a session of lifting, then work on the school work.
