Sometimes…
Sometimes it’s not stupidity, or ignorance, or shortness of time, or laziness, or lack of energy, or apathy, or antipathy, or a “lack of interpersonal skills”, or immaturity, or incompetence, or arrogance, or any of those other things that makes a team project fail. Sometimes you just overestimate the ability of your teammates to work independently. Sometimes it’s just that moment when you realize that you have 6 days and that the other members of you team simply do not have… it. That thing that enables someone to be able to sit and code for hours and produce something that works and compiles and comes close to doing what it…

Dilemma du jour
Do I spend cash to buy books cheaper online and hurt my immediate car-buying chances (since I’ll have to wait until a couple of weeks into the term to receive my refund check), or do I use the refund check in advance (a nice, nice thing they let us do) in order to get the books (at full-cost) in the bookstore here, but keep a higher likelihood of getting a car over break or shortly thereafter?

This one takes them all.
I am hereby not allowed to sleep on Thursday nights during weeks 3 thru 10 of a term, unless I can get more than 4 hours of sleep that night. This is second goddamn time I’m either slept through my alarm or that my alarm has been set improperly or that my alarm has snafu’d. On a Friday morning.

Like my Fundamentals take-home test, which I ran down to the prof at 12:00 (it was supposed to be due at 08:00 if you missed class), unshowered, uncombed, un-anything other than panicked. The test still had 45 points…
