this just in: sev is incredibly nerdy

[seventhe]

So I was making a schedule up at work, while waiting for my batch to finish up. My real goal with it was to try to figure out how much time I would have for homework - where it could fit in, and what things could potentially get in the way of it. So I made up a schedule, blocking off the time I spend at work, doing other things, etc. It turned out pretty cool.


You'll have to forgive the awesome quality due to screencapping.

I lumped in time for getting dressed, eating breakfast, and driving into "associated with work" and "associated with class", namely for honesty's sake. I don't want to look like I work a 12-hour day. But I do HAVE a 12-hour day, 4 days a week, because it isn't like I can just NOT DRIVE TO WORK. The "associated with" sections aren't exactly optional.

I blocked off 6 hours initially for homework. I think that's optimistic. But for a 6-hour class I thought 6 hours on assignments was a good start. I am assuming that as the semester goes on I'm going to be losing some of that "free time" and maybe some "sleep".

I did mark up what averages to 8 hours of sleep a night. I realize I don't always get that much. This part is flexible; I can stay up late if needed, and I can catch up on weekends if I want. But I've noticed that when I'm not getting this much sleep, I get sick. Seriously, frequently sick. So the goal is to stay as close to that 8-hour-average as possible.

The gym numbers are also an average, or an "ideal" maybe. I'm sure I won't be able to stick to it as well as I'd like. But that's my workout plan right now.

OBVIOUSLY, stuff is flexible. The only gym thing that can't be moved is yoga because it's a class. The errands/chores can happen at any time that day that's convenient. I can stay up if I need to. This is just a generalization.

Please notice, this is why there are nights I just don't even turn my computer on. I don't stay up late writing, I don't browse LJ/DW, and it's because there are days I just don't have enough time to do so. Those little scraps of free time get to be MY time.

Also the cleaning is a little optimistic, lol. It looks like I clean a lot but really I just do what I have to so that the kitchen doesn't rot out, and catch up on the weekends. Ha ha ha. FML.


So that's my life this semester!

LOL SCHEDULES ARE FUN

Reminds me of how like, at work I've somehow become in charge of timelines, because no one else wants to take the time to schedule shit? Hint: IT IS NOT THAT HARD.

Now I'm in charge of putting schedules into gcal! XD

[seventhe]

Man, my phone has not been syncing with GCal lately and it is really making me mad. :(

[renay]

Your schedule is epic :O I would be too terrified to do that with mine.

However, you forgot to schedule "doink" and "doink panic fuck fuck fuck". *so helpful*

[seventhe]

Replace anything in blue with "DOINK? FUCK FUCK FUCK MATCHING EMAILS FUCK. AND COCK JOKES" starting in March!

[renay]

I just wanted to see "FUCK" on the graph. Also, I read this in the tone of that one Hyperbole and a Half post on adulthood and responsibility.

I WANT A REFUND, MYSELF.

[seventhe]

AS DO I. THIS IS PRETTY UNFAIR, LIFE. CAN I GO BACK TO BEING EIGHTEEN AND NOT GIVING A SHIT.

You just wait. I'll make a version for DOINK in which the cells actually spell out "FUCK!!!" -- which will probably be representative of my sleep schedule at that point *g*

God your Excel cracks me up so hard ♥

... I think you're officially my hero.

I love it! I've been wanting to make myself a schedule like that too so that I can actually see how much time I have for practicing, which is always less than I expect. I like the humor in your schedule too! (hee hee 'I'm Drumk')

Just make sure you pronounce it the British way: shhhedule.

[jennyclarinet.livejournal.com]

er, "I'm DruNk"

[jennyclarinet.livejournal.com]

I'm not actually drunk, I was referring to early Sunday morning part of your shhedule!

[first-seventhe.livejournal.com]

I figured that's when it usually happens, no? XD

That was kind of my goal - see how much time I have, and then I'll know better how I want to use it. Assuming I can keep to a workout schedule and a homework schedule, this is what I have, so that I know what happens if I want to go somewhere for an evening, or practice drums, or just crash and watch movies. :P

Ha ha, I made mine, and it's just what I expected: impossible. The main problem is that I have to drive too much - more proof that I need to move south closer to all the places where I work. I didn't even have a place to fit chores/errands. Yikes.
But it really showed me that I have to try to get to bed an hour earlier and get up an hour earlier.

It was a great exercise in self-discovery though. Hopefully it will help me get more disciplined with time, seeing how little of it I actually have.

STARCRAFT LOL. Hey, I didn't know you played Starcraft. I don't, but I'm amazed you do.

[first-seventhe.livejournal.com]

I actually really like Starcraft, Warcraft, and other games of those types (AND PLANTS VS ZOMBIES!!!!). I'm just not in those fandoms, hahaha.

[salarta.livejournal.com]

That's something I'm not on. :) I played the original Starcraft, and I played Warcraft III, but I've never once cared about World of Warcraft and I hope to never get into playing it. :) Also not really interested in Starcraft II either. But if there's ever a time where we're both playing the same games and there's a possible multiplayer component to it, I'd enjoy playing with/against you/your cat/your pants.

[first-seventhe.livejournal.com]

I've actually never played World of Warcraft. (Although I have played great ungodly gobs of DIABLO II, will not lie.) I played the heck out of Warcraft III, though, and I am now playing the heck out of Stacraft II. I really prefer the multiplayer in those games to any other aspect, too.

Damned yahoo mail putting my notification in the spam folder.

Someone I know has been obsessed with World of Warcraft in the past. That's all I'm saying there because I just noticed this entry isn't locked and I don't want to say too much personal stuff in a place where everyone can see it. :)

In many games multiplayer is definitely brings more joy than just playing it alone. I tend to play most of my games alone though, even when I have multiplayer options. Sometimes even if I start playing multiplayer with someone, I end up having to finish it (if there's a start and end to it) by myself. It happened with Resident Evil 5; I was playing Professional with someone, I was waiting for him to finish it with him, he decided to finish the whole thing by himself, I ended up finishing the rest of my end a year later.
