Throughout my 2nd semester, I heard from my seniors that the 3rd semester is a real pain in the ass. And although you would have night-outs, they wouldn’t consist of hanging out with friends, like the ones i had in my in the first year, but rather of coding in the lab. But until now, the going has been rather easy with not much workload. I have still found more than enough time to indulge myself (read watching F.R.I.E.N.D.S, playing DotA, and other stuff). But as the majors approach, I am really beginning to feel the heat. So this is my situation for the next two weeks:
1. CSL 211 (Computer Architecture) Assignment with deadlines on 28th October, 4 , 11, and 16 November
2. CSP 301 (Design Practices in Computer Science) project on task scheduling for which I already submitted the documentation on the 26th and 27th. The final code is to be submitted on 11 Nov.
3. HUL 237 (Contemporary Fiction) presentation on “Forgiveness and Guilt” on 2 Nov for which I am supposed to read books relevant to the topic and cite them.
4. CSL 105 (Discrete Mathematics) assignments. One was given today, which the professor says is tough, so much so that he gave us until the last working day of the semester (that will be like 19 Nov or something). There will be another assignment that will be given in the period between that.
5. EEP 201 (Digital Electronics Lab) for which I have to make a project on an FPGA and I have chosen to make a two player cricket game.
6. EEL 201 (Digital Electronics) – have to catch up on the last 3 lectures where they started teaching hardware descriptive languages.
Apart from this, I also have to appear for my Maths and Physics SAT on 7 Nov and am yet to decide on a date for TOEFL.
And needless to say, I haven’t started working for any of the above things. The curse of the 3rd semester has finally shown up.
Number 4 – CSL105 Assignment is an eyewash – Naveen Garg is making a fool of you as always by saying its “tough” (???) – it couldn’t have been easier I tell you – it’s infact even easier than the first assignment – Srijan even calls it “obvious”
