Why college is fun (not)

selenayI have spent the day buried in extremely dull documents on software requirements, so my brain has started to go fuzzy. On the upside, I have actually got some documentation started on my research project. On the downside, I have a lot more documentation to write and only two weeks before I need to submit an assignment with a lot of it in. This is on top of the assignment in one of my other courses that involves an essay on video streaming and a whole bunch of network simulations. Guh.
At least the paper I was writing yesterday got submitted. That's one out of the way.
I really wanted to spend the afternoon reading fanfic because Lobelia Sackville-Baggins has two new parts of Code of the Brandybucks up at West-of-the-Moon and I've been trying to find time all week to read them. College, though, seems to feel that learning stuff is more important. Maybe I can make it my treat tomorrow afternoon. An afternoon of hobbity goodness as a reward for a week of SQL, Java, UML and hex. My life gets more exciting by the day ;-)

Want to work on a fic archive? I can totally help you out on that... I would love someone with some Perl knowledge to help me out with this one archive I'm associated with...
Hope things calm down for you, anyway. You must be on a different academic schedule if you have assignments due in the next couple weeks--here, it's finals.
Welcome to LJ! I'm a newbie too.

Date: 2004-05-14 04:19 pm (UTC)Ah, I see I made a dumb move there :-) I do my best to stay away from aiding and abetting archives because the archivists generally have spiffier knowledge than me. And I have no clue about Perl :-( At the moment, anyway. I said the same thing about Java two years ago.

I'm on a strange, bizarre schedule that means college starts in February and ends in October. Wait, December this year 'cos I have a research project :-( I'm just getting into my stride when everyone else is celebrating finals and the glory of summer vacation.

Thank you :-)
