Abandon All Hope




There are some very rewarding parts of being a CS student. Like the privilege of taking classes from Dr. M who can smell good dry-erase markers. Instead of trying the markers out on the board, he can simply take a whiff, and instantly he knows if they are good or bad. That's cool.

However, it's also a lot of work. This weekend, I spent a disproportionate amount of time writing a kernel priority-based task scheduling algorithm. In C. Bleh. When I wasn't doing that, I was sleeping, cleaning the apartment for spring cleaning checks, or working on my side project -- virtual memory implementation. In C. Bleh too.

Good news, however. I got into MIT. Now I have to decide between UCSD, OSU, and the MIT/Harvard MEMP program.
