EPTMark Weighting?
45% Final
25% midterm
30% problem sets
There are 4 problem sets. I got 1/60 on the problem sets. I only handed in the first and I wasn't aware of how much they were worth.
I didn't go to all my lectures. Often I just stayed up late either working on stuff or watching videos or playing league of legends. I'd wanted to quit LoL as I said in one of my previous blogs but didn't find that I was able to.
But the lectures were hard to learn from anyways. A lot of people didn't go. The Professor was hard to understand as everything she said was complicated and only the first few rows could see the equations she was writing on the board.
How could I have been so stupid?
The problem sets were by no means easy, the first one took me an entire night just to do, and I got a 1. But I still should have done well on them. I should have just asked other people in class to show me how to do the problems.
I don't like my school, but this was definitely my mistake. I was in the clear. 3rd year computer engineer. Weed out classes gone. And I failed. This school is hard and doesn't teach the dumb students (like me) enough, but it's definitely good for the super bright hard working students.
My friend is smart. When I told him he asked me "why didn't you just copy someone else's problem sets?" Honestly, it didn't occur to me, and yet it took him two seconds to analyze the situation.
I wish I could say I'm just an honest student, but I'm not perfectly honest either. I just didn't see the opportunity.
I still have to tell my parents. I dread this the most.
What am I gonna do in the future?
Physics of the Earth is not offered over the summer.
I don't know if I have to take physics of the earth again because I failed. If not, I'll take something else for the credits.
It likely does not have equivalent courses offered at colleges.
1. My friend raised another point. Maybe I can just take 6 courses in fourth year.
2. Otherwise I could take an arts and science course this summer and decline a position for internship and possibly a 1 year internship in the states. I'd have to work here in Toronto for the summer though I do have a position lined up. Then I take physics of the Earth over again in fourth year.
3. I could try to take an arts and science course at night this summer at home, and transfer the credits over. Then I could take physics of the Earth over again in fourth year.
4. I could try to do a year long 12 month internship now instead of a 16 month one and then take an arts and science course the summer preceding fourth year. Then I take physics of the Earth again in fourth year.
5. I could work the summer at home and then come back for my coop year (if I find one here) in Toronto. Then I could do an arts and science course as a night class over my coop year.
In the future I'm going to write down all mark weights on assignments into my PDA so I never get fooled into thinking they're worth 1.7% again.
In the future all appointments on my PDA will be on repeat alarm. This'll make it impossible to ignore them. Then I'll just keep being reminded of important tasks everyday so I can't forget them.
I'll start tracking every single day. How much time I waste, if it's within acceptable bounds, when I sleep.
I'll probably still play video games unfortunately. But I never want to get to a state where I prioritize play over work like I did this semester again.
TL:DR
+ Show Spoiler +
I'm dumb. I failed another course. Failed Calc 2 in first year and made that up in another school in the summer afterwards. End of the world. Asian. Fuck fuck fuckity fuck.
edit Aug 14 2012: I still watch too much league and now avengers and I procrastinate on everything I do. I'm doing so badly. Every day I'm just hoping the next day will be better. I have things to do. But I procrastinate. I don't even think about procrastinating at work. I just do it when I get home.
