Psst...want to hear an awesome way to manage your life? I will tell you, it worked for me. It is very simple, not like those other systems you may have seen before. ( Here it is: )
Sounds like you need an outside hobby... I don't know how most CS majors do it. Drop the LUG stuff, and like go hiking or something. And uh yeah, 6 courses in a semester is ill-advised, you should know that by now.
It is not so much the LUG stuff actually... it is really more me just not doing stuff I really ought to. But yeah, more outside activities would help, and I could probably start eating a little better.
When I read the short version of the method, all I could think of was structured procrastination. This is also known as the "nothing gets my room cleaner than a paper due tomorrow" phenomenon. The idea behind structured procrastination is that not all procrastinators are lazy, we are just avoidant. If you give us a better task to avoid, we will finish everything else in an attempt to avoid it.
Also, I see nothing wrong with those grades, but as a student im mediocre at best :)
I do that too, but this has been a case of me simply not doing whatever it is that I need to be.
Yeah, and I would personally be OK with them too (after all, I do have a company that already wants to hire me for life), but for two reasons. First, my membership status in the MTU Honors Institute (which, quite frankly, I am soon to not care about--too little benefit for far too much work) is based on a continued holding of a 3.5GPA or better, and I am currently at a 3.3. If they decide to check at some point, I am out. Second, though there is a stated "Whatever you get, so long as it is your best work, is fine" policy by my parents, it usually boils down to anything lower than a B is a travesty. This I can deal with, but I would rather not...I do not want to have to add my parents to an email blacklist...
I don't know about the others, but 70 or 80 percent in CS2141 and CS2311 really isn't good. Those are both basic courses and they build up, so if you're not strong in them, you're going to do very badly on the ones afterward (which, if I remember right, as a CPE you have to do Comp Org and probably Intro to OS as well). And especially for 2311, the key point is mostly just going at it. It's kinda mathy.
You should really try sleeping earlier. If you find that you have a nice torrent of ideas then, sleep earlier, think about them, and then you'll have time to wake, write them down, and still sleep enough.
As for doing homework... just do it. It's gonna be mean and evil, but you'll have to man up and do it sometime. xDDD

I could try that.
Yeah.
(sorry I missed you this morning--last night was quite a late night, and I think I may be coming down with something)
