Defeat Acceptance to the Professors

Submitted by rant.cpp

I have two tests back to back, two programming projects due, and homework due, all next week. I haven't procrastinated; I've been on my a-game. Every professor just piles everything on all at once.

I am mad, simply because everything is piled on at once, and I will not have time to give everything 100%.

I accept defeat for the week.

Sorry, dude. I feel you.

2. Boscorelli

Jeesh, one of those weeks. I hate that feeling where you've given 100% but only get done 50%. What the heck are we supposed to do, you know?

3. Sully

I'd say, if you've done your best, you should be satisfied and be happy with yourself. After all, you can't give it more than 100%.

The Birds do Thus

I slept all day,
The birds do thus
That sing a while
At eve for us.

To have you soon
I gave away—
Well satisfied
To give—a day.

Life’s not so short
I care to keep
The unhappy days;
I choose to sleep

Wonderful poem. That sums up this thread. How can I follow that up?

6. CamMeLot

Those are some wise words. Yes, we should just not worry about the unhappy days.

Well, i think it misses a little. not sure if we are sleeping all day.

8. Boscorelli

No, no. He's saying that you should be satisfied that you gave a day (tried hardest). and if you are still unhappy, just sleep it off.

don't core dump on us dude.

As someone who is a few years out of college, let me tell you, life only gets busier. Develop techniques to deal with the stress now and you'll be one happy and satisfied dude later on.

The trick is... sometimes you just have to let it roll off... like water off a duck's back. Ranting on anger sites always helps too [smiley=wink]

I can't tell how long ago this rant was left but...

If it's still relevant, you should let your profs know. Often times profs will work with you if you're facing a particularly rough set of circumstances. Chances are at least one of them will consider giving you an extension. Best of luck, regardless.
