Can't Say I Wasn't Warned

What I know is this is not a planned post. I don’t know if I am ranting or just trying to prove a point lol. Before getting into level 400 I always thought people were exaggerating. Even for my department, I felt the way they talked about it was too much. In my school, we are hardly stressed in my department. The other departments go through days of countless presentations here and there.

They go through unplanned quizzes and all that but for my department, none of that shut happens. But then I wouldn’t say I wasn’t warned about level 400 either. I remember depressed telling me that I wouldn’t enjoy level 400 as much as I thought I would cause it was gonna stress the hell out of me. Mind you, am not one of the people who is bent on doing everything to perfection but then I can’t say I am not stressed. Today has been my toughest day yet this semester and all I can say is that the peeps were right(zoo will be proud lol)

For the past weeks, we’ve been dealing with a presentation topic. This sem we are doing comparative programming language and as such the lecturer tasked us to present on Python and Haskell. With python, it’s easy and not very sophisticated, Haskell on the other hand is what has caused all this drama. Before this course I never heard of Haskell programming language mainly because it’s hardly used.

Imagine never hearing about a programming language but then having to make a report on it. Much worse, having to compare the two of them. I took on most of the work( not to show off lol), and then, later on, regretted doing that. I had sleepless nights cause I procrastinated a lot. In the end, I had to combine doing my project work, preparing the slide show for the presentation which I wasn’t sure of and also preparing for a mid-semester.

Well with the project I ended up not going to meet my supervisor cause my system is not ready yet. I didn’t wanna end up going there and then having to explain myself to someone who’d probably not even listen to me.

With the slideshow, I managed to finish it but then we didn’t even present that day. I didn’t sleep the whole night cause we were supposed to present the next day. But fortunately, on my side, we did present today and as such am free like a pineapple.

I had to study a bit for my mid-semester. I can say I had only 1 to 2 hours of sleep yesterday. I feel like these days I am taking in a lot and it’s not cool. Yep, I agree I didn’t sleep a lot in the past but it’s getting worse by the day. Am not trying to exaggerate or say something you don’t know already but Mehn am tired lol.

Wish I could finish school already. Am not prepared for what is coming but I know it’s coming.

Ah it’s always tough when you get hit with a curveball like that but it does help keep you in your toes!

You were so fortunate to be in a department that does not stress you. From your discussion, its seems you are a narcossite (Computer Science under-graduate). Our stress was a sttressmaniac. Somehow we made it out alive.

I am so sorry about the presentation, the unknown programming language, exam and all that stuff. I suggest in all, you somehow find a little more time to sleep. Otherwise, it will have a physical toll on your mind and body.

Well I was able to do the presentation and we did have the mid-sem.
As for the sleep part I did try and I slept a lot yesterday, I slept a lot today as well.

The stress is too much man. But the good news is that, all shall perish after a couple of months.

What kind of system are you building(web/app)? With what languages? If it falls in my domain, I can intervene

Yep we will finish sha. Am using python, it will be ready soon so don't worry. Ill bug you when I need help in the future.

Wow, great to hear. All the best man
