Bufff, paso
Dec. 13th, 2006 11:28 amOK, after some deliverance, I'm almost sure I'm quitting for this year to Communication Networking. It's just... overwhelming. Mostly because of the practice work. The first four practices are not that hard although the TCP socket ones hate me, but of course, the one with all the marks is the fifth one, which is just batshit crazy. Like, you have to simulate a fucking TCP/IP architecture (with clients, servers, routers) using Java sockets. Including protocols, address tables, subnetting masks, fake IP datagrams... The full explanation is 16 pages long! And I have to hand it on fucking end of January. January.
The theory is rather long to memorize (14 units WTF?!), but that's the least of the problems. The fifth practice, dude. I can't have it done like that. I've wasted a month just trying to get the simplest UDP datagram sent to an echo server.
And I still have a messy OS1 practice we just started today to hand in a similar date (and mind you, I want to pass this fucking course THIS YEAR so badly), I'll be using a lot of December on the OOP optative exercices, and we also have to have the OOP final practice to do on teams (which has too much of required documentation to be desired.)
And there's theory to learn for the finals on February. And I should really do exercises and problems to understand Operative Investigation. I have issues when it comes to convert a problem in words to equations.
So in short, I'd rather work on other things that aren't that complicated in comparison but I can't leave them for the last minute.
I'll try to finish the optative four practices before dumping the course, though. TCP, you so annoying.
(WTF FMA RAW CHAPTER?! COME OUT ALREADY!)
