So if you ever think that taking 3 programming classes, plus a physics class (that is all programming itself) don't. Save yourself the time and just buy a 4"x4" and shove that up your ass. It's about as pleasant as the homework load you'll get. I'm taking CSC 333: Languages and Machines, CSC 335: Databases, CSC 465: Networking, and PHY 324: I forget the title name, but it's all assembly programming with a microcontroller.

So aside from the 4 finals I have to do in 4 weeks I also have an assload of homework/projects.

• In CSC 333 I have a compiler due this morning that is still not finished. I have a paper over a language that I haven't looked at yet that will count as our second test. I have have another homework assignment that will add the ability to use user defined functions to our compiler, and I have a group project in that language that I haven't looked at yet.
• In CSC 335 I am going to have another book assignment in a week or so. I also have a group project to design a database and a frontend application along with 76 pages of documentation. This database will need to adhere to some standards that we might get to in our next lecture.
• In CSC 465 I will probably have another book assignment before this semester is over. I have a test in there in a week or maybe this week, I can't remember. I also have another project to do. It is either research 5 questions (that probably aren't talked about in our book) and write out mini-essays for them each, or do a programming assignment. Normally I'd be excited to try this kind of assignment out, but with the time constraints, lack of teaching ability of my professor and the huge load of work I have this isn't going to be fun. We are to write our own networking protocol (i.e. write our own TCP). This must be done in C, and it has to be tested/used on a *nix system where we can acutally change the networking protocol that we use.

This, needless to say, has me stressed out and seriously considering quitting one of my jobs. Luckly I keep remembering that I am in debt and can't quit either of them. While my posts are few and far between, for the time being they might be fewer and farer between.(Don't worry Jon I'm still working on some problems for ya I just need to take the time and write them up.)

For some good humor: My hero.
