SOS

Okay.
I know whining about how I hate school right now won't do much good but... Oh God I can't help it!

Tuesday.
First examination of the week was a disaster. Really. I couldn't imagine anything being more messed up than that exam in comm. system design and analysis. Just thinking about the exam questions make my stomach churn. And thinking about how I answered those exam questions makes me want to dig a hole in the ground and stay there for the rest of my life. It was a total mess! I now officially hate satellites! And elevation angles. And azimuths. And Earth stations. I hate them. :(

Thursday.
ECE Laws wasn't one of my favorites either. First item was ENUMERATION (55 pts.) wtf!

This time, weekends aren't as appealing as before. I still have to squeeze the following to my ever so precious 48 hours where I can just relax.

Okay. So here are the things that could potentially ruin my life.


1. Inverter circuit
2. Boost converter circuit
3. (stupid. stupid.) Stepper motor controller circuit (I'm still clueless about this one, don't have any idea what this is all about)
4. Microcontroller lab report for Look-Up Table using 7 segment LED display
5. Report for Microcontroller Laboratory Project No. 1 (7 segment LED with increment and decrement)
6. Report for Microcontroller Laboratory Midterm Exam. (Number 3)
7. Microwave Link Design Project
8. Prepare for Long exam in Power Electronics
9. Project on Navigational Aids Lecture Part I
10. Project on Navigational Aids Lecture Part II
11. Powerpoint presentation for Thesis Proposal defense next Thursday.

sigh.

If anyone's planning an escape route from all these, please, please, sign me up! Or I might as well consider digging that hole and staying there- not forever but until next weekend. After all, I still have my life to live. I am just so not up to it right now.

Give em and break em

Okaaay. Here's an update:
My i-feel-so-bad days were long gone and my life's now back to normal.
Not purely normal, I guess. For the 'normal' me is typically sleep deprived. But for the past week I've had lots of time to sleep, despite the deadline for one of our thesis proposals which I've put upon myself.
The result:
The oh so good feeling of not becoming sleep-deprived AND an unfinished proposal.
There you go- the best thing about self-imposed rules. You can always break them. :)
Archie and Merce are coming over tomorrow so we can work on our other two proposals and the microwave link project. God. I feel a lot better. That's loads better than doing it all by yourself at three o'clock in the morning while everybody else is sound asleep.

Note: I am definitely not feeling guilty about sticking to bed instead of doing my proposal. I'm almost done with the first chapter, I assigned chapter two to Billy and I need to talk to Merce and Archie about chapter 3 so I'm not doing it yet. And besides, chapter 3 is really short.

***Missing daddy.

Wednesday, August 6. Archie accompanied me and my family to send daddy off at the airport.
Daddy has been through a lot for the past year and I hated to see him go. There were no angel figurines this time. Only a lot of prayers that he comes back home in good shape.
I miss you daddy.
