No matter how easy it seems like it will be.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>I can honestly say that I have spent more time in front of a computer on the Engineering campus in the past 3 days than I have spent sleeping, eating, and in other classes combined.  No joke.  Take tonight for example.  By the time I get my retarded self off this computer and back to my dorm, it will be 4 am.  I have class at 8:25 that I can&#8217;t miss, because I have to hand this project in then.  So I&#8217;m planning on about 3.75 hours of sleep tonight.  And I spent 5pm to 7pm + 9pm to 3:30am ( = 8.5 hours ) working on this project today alone (well, this sleep cycle alone&#8230; hasn&#8217;t been the same day in hours.)<\/p>\n<p>For anyone who wants to know what kept me up this late, my completed report is located <a href=\"https:\/\/mywebspace.wisc.edu\/mccambridge\/blog\/report.pdf\">here<\/a> (2.5 MB PDF, you&#8217;ve been warned).  It probably won&#8217;t make sense without the problem description, but I&#8217;m too lazy to find the link to that right now.  Oh, and if you do actually read it for some obscure reason, I apologize for the 8 scanned-in pages that are huge and nasty-looking.  That was the last thing I did tonight, just in case the TA loses my paper or something; I&#8217;m not doing this again.<\/p>\n<p>So don&#8217;t be like me.  Do your work when you&#8217;re intended to.  You&#8217;ll be happier.  And sleep more.  And babble less.<\/p>\n<p>G&#8217;night.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Never start a 3-week project 3 days before it is due. No matter how easy it seems like it will be.
