Training regularly and maintaining a study/work schedule...

if i can get back to this..i'll be happy..if thats shit...well..then its shit

Not bad.

No offense, TA, but you act like engineering is the hardest degree in the world. Whenever someone posts their major, you say "engineering is so much harder." Therefore, you have no time. I am in a doctoral program, take classes, have a practicum, do research, etc, and still make it to the gym 5 days a week.

I have a friend who is in med school studying to be a cardiologist, which is 100x harder than engineering, and he makes it to the gym 4 days a week.

ive found my ability to concentrate has actually declined sharply over the years. i cannot get through even 15 minutes of hard focus anymore without my brain wandering off/shutting itself down. i blame the internet and this modern era of 'instant-ism'

1) dont study at star bucks..
2) force yourself...if you pick up a 900 page book and set a deadline..where you HAVE to finish it in 10 days...TRUST ME...you'll concentrate
3) find a study partner...someone competitive..someone that  will rag on you if you score below him or make fun of you and call you a dumbass if you fall behind in your reading

worked for me...my partner is an honours electrical engineering grad from UMCP....i've learned soo much over the past year just trying to hold my own against him...and i'm barely scraping thru..but i'm doing it!

if i dont believe what i'm doing is cool and tough..then whats the point...

medicine is harder than engineering..maybe....ca rdiology..definitely..bu t pre nursing..like that dood...nah..dont make me laugh...i wasn't making a sweeping judgement..that post ws directed at him...

but i firmly believe...physics phds top the list...a physics phd can be a cardiologist...not the other way around

1. i never studied at starbucks
2. thats the problem, if i try to do that i just think 'fuck it!!!' and dont do it even if i HAVE to. im amazed i made it through college, i didnt even buy textbooks my last couple years cause i knew i wouldnt read them anyways. i didnt even take notes at all cause i didnt have the attention span.
3. study partners...could never take it seriously.. i would get what i needed out of them then contribute little myself lol. i didnt care what they got cause i knew i was smarter than them anyways and 'grades' didnt mean anything to me as far as that goes lol

I've always wondered what it smells like in those Free relay clouds. 

Clean cold and sterile like a server room?  Or like cinnamon rolls?

a frame cloud is just a buncha switches spread out over a large geographical locations...but belonging to the same ISP...

i'd figure they smell like the last engineer working in that room...

in which case..prolly like curry!

dont you not have to work because your family has money or something? why are you busting your ass toiling away at that crap when you dont have to, haha if i were you id take the path of least resistance, maybe get a part-time job somewhere just so i was 'doing something' and making enough to pay for basic stuff here and there.
