Feeling pretty shitty

I'm seriously considering not handing in this assignment worth 5.5% of my mark. I could still pass the course if I don't do it, but the final exam will have material pertaining to the assignment, so I'd take a hit on that. I might be able to pull off 70% if I skip this assignment.

I'm fine when it comes to learning stuff in lectures, but when it comes time to actually apply it all, I get nowhere. Unfortunately, CS is all about applying what you learn in class. Can I even last long enough to get a degree?

Since I can't get fucking anything done on this assignment, I shuffled my courses around so that I can take five terms of four courses, instead of four terms of five courses (I'm still convinced that two degrees will somehow be better than just one). Maybe I should look at what my course load would look like with just one major.

I've decided I'm gonna buy the Incredibles DVD when it comes out, and watch it this weekend in the lounge. Maybe I can convince the dons to order pizza of my liking this time.

You know, I'll bet if I died in my room, no one would find out for at least a week. No one comes by, and if they did they would knock and go away if I didn't answer. My mom would phone and think that I'm just out or in class if I didn't answer. I'll bet I could go two weeks dead before my mom would phone the residence to get someone to check my room, or perhaps I would be drawing a stench by then...although my room and the hallway tend to have a stench anyways, it's just a matter of which is stronger.

Here's hoping the stress from the assignment doesn't kill me. Here's hoping that next year is infinitely more fun and easy than this term. Here's hoping that they turn Operating Systems into a baby course where all you do is circle "windows" or "MacOS" based on a screenshot.

Seriously, handing in less than half of this assignment is looking like a really good option.
