My idea of a Ideal week

This is how I would like my general life to be for the next couple of years.

Monday - Work Hard day

Get to the gym(morning or evening),
Do some serious coding/design/planning at work, hopefully on something new, something that has not been carried forward from Friday.
Get back home from work, get a healthy dinner, watch TV, go to sleep.

Tuesday - Work Harder Day

Get to the gym(morning or evening),
Do some hardcore coding/testing, read about new technologies if time permits.
Get back home from work, visit a temple, get dinner, read a book, go to sleep.

Wednesday - Work and Communication day

Get to the gym(morning or evening),
Coding and other work related issues, update resume if possible/necessary.
Talk to family, visit a friend maybe/social networking. Get back home, get dinner, watch a movie and off to bed.

Thursday - Take it easy day

Get to the gym(morning or evening),
Take work lightly, socialize with work people(an hour of sports maybe), a lavish lunch maybe. Get back home, get wine/beer, watch a movie maybe. Eat light and go to sleep.

Friday - Work Hardest Day

Get to the gym(morning or evening),
Work, work, work and work.
Eat out, get home, maybe video games, go to sleep.

Saturday - Party Day/Go-out

Complete house chores(grocery, cleaning, car-wash etc etc).
Gym(if possible)
Video games, and when sun sets booze and rock n roll ;).

Sunday - Relax and Hobby Day

Read, sleep, eat, sleep/shop/hobby/movie/beach, video games, sleep :)


Lets see if i ever spend a single week like that :).


Ciao

Operating Systems

Now its official and formal, I am doing terribly bad with the only course of this semester CIS 657 Principles of Operating Systems. Two mid terms and a project have been total disaster for me.

Honestly speaking I am not afraid to do bad(A mistake is the second best way of learning as long as you don't repeat it), neither am I amazed by the fact that I am doing bad, but I am totally perplexed about the the question "Why am I doing bad?".

I am not dumb(IQ of 133, current GPA 3.5), to say the least I am fairly decent with C programming, I have already studied two courses of Operating Systems in college. I am working hard, I attend class regularly and I even understand most of it in class. And still I am doing terrible in the course.

God, please tell me why am I doing bad.
