Welcome to Modojo, 
Horrible Weekend
Written by Mana Knight on Tuesday, January 24, 2006
It’s been a while since I’ve written anything in any of my blogs. Well, you can probably guess because I’ve been busy with college, and yes, that is the truth. Some might have had a good weekend, but mine was mostly stressful.
As soon as I finished my last class at 12:30PM on Friday, I went straight to work on homework and my lab report for the class. I ended up finishing the homework, while getting most of the lab report done, before I went to bed at 10pm. I also managed to get some Stat homework done. I only took breaks to grab something to eat, then taking it back to my apartment. I didn’t have much opportunity to play video games, but I did play DDR Extreme 2. I decided to check out the assignments, for CPT 175, to see what the class was doing. Since I already took Visual Basic last semester and knew how to use it pretty well, I decided to see how quickly I could do the prelab and lab. Only took me about 10 minutes to do both. I didn’t go out anywhere, but I did have a few short AIM conversations with friends.
On Saturday, I woke up early, around 6:30am. I spent my day finishing stuff up I didn’t finish on Friday night, along with finishing most of the stat homework done. I spent some portion of the day researching parts for a robotic hen I have to build, for a class. I did spend some time playing Wild Arms 4. I’m still only a few hours into the game, but I’m finding the game to be quite fun, especially the platform elements on the field. Around 7pm, I walked to DDR night, since a friend of mine was going to be there, and we wanted to play some multiplayer games on our Nintendo DS’s. It was a lot of fun getting the opportunity to play someone right beside me, in Mario Kart DS. However, I didn’t get to play long, since I had more researching to do.
Sunday, was just a boring day. I was in my apartment the entire day, trying to research and get what I need for my project done. I was up until almost 1AM, working on it. I was extremely tired and could barely see my PC screen. I only had the opportunity to play Mega Man X: Collection, for 30 minutes.
It sucked because I ended up getting up at 6AM the next morning, to go to classes for 5 hours straight, an hour break then another 2 hours. So, you can probably guess I was very exhausted. Luckily, I feel better now since I’ve finally gotten an opportunity to get a good meal, since I was barely eating for a few days. Although, I might have a déjà vu tonight, since I have to work on the robotic hen even more.
Just to let everyone know, a robotic hen is my ECET 396 project. We do work in a team, of three people. Every person is assigned to a block, such as main controller, motors/sensors, and the power block. I’m doing the power block. The project is definitely stressing me out and making me feel very depressed, since I really don’t feel I’ll ever get it to work, by the end of the semester.
