Struggles

I believe that nobody reads this blog anymore.
reason(s):
1. This blog has been abandoned for a long time.
2. Its owner only writes about school and nothing else.

Still, I want to say that this has been a painful semester.
night after night my teammates and I stayed in school.
I think I must have wrote more than 10000 lines of code.
The number of report pages exceeded 500.
And a final presentation rehearsal spanned 7 hours with the final presentation hitting 3 hours.
What you've just read is not a myth, it is a module. One module.
Together with a honors year research project and two other modules, a perfect hell was conceived.
In retrospect, I learned a few things,
- clever and bright people may not make the best teammates.
- never use windows vista + eclipse for development. Horribly slow.
- tough men may last, but tough times may last even longer.
- Murphy's law always hold. perfectly fine programs crumble during presentations.

I m tough but I have broken down a few times amidst these tougher than tough times. The next things coming up is an exam and finally operationalizing my research. If you read, pray for me. I need lots of luck for the next few months.
