Countdown to Crisis: Hell Week Edition

The comic book cover over here says it all: Welcome to Infinite Crisis - Hell Week edition care of yours truly, Marty the ECE student.

As of 7am this morning, with a chat with one Lorlynn Mateo, I have started my crisis countdown. I have stated in said conversation, a list of things to be done by and exactly 7 days. That's right, everything that needs to be done will and should be done in exactly a week from when the countdown started. So let's begin. Match-ups please.

Day 1: Thursday -- Crisis Begins

Today, the Electromag menace rears its ugly head once again as I am given the news that the 3rd exam might possibly be, counted by percent not by letter marks. In simple terms, my pre-conceived C has turned into a D. I had thought that I could breathe easy but now it seems that I have to take a retest on Saturday to make up for lost points. Aside from that, two papers to write and a finals to "look forward to." Motherfucker, I thought I was already safe from it. Damn, what a prelude.

The 6 hour break was spent between playing Magic and building the 111 circuit. The 107 project was done but our prof didn't show up to check it so... damn. As for the 111 circuit, the circuit is pretty easy to build but the design is getting really tasking. If those damn PLDs can even hold up to par to what they're supposed to do then we'd have no problem but since they can't, we have to learn to use another device, a ROM. Damn, as if my head is aching from using Shift Registers already. (Pardon the technical terms, just part of the course) I hope everything turns out better tomorrow when we check the circuit again. Please God, I need to set at least THIS at ease.

Now, as the hours tick down to the final hours of the first day of Crisis, I have day 2 to worry about. Day 2 contains an ELC 111 test and a thermodynamics final exam as well as finishing touches on both 111 projects. Aside from that, I have to study for the Saturday retest and get my hands on a copy of notes for the history finals as well as reschedule our project defense on Monday. Crisis alright.

Bring it on.
