I feel like I've not been getting everything I should have out of this semester. It started well enough, but things have kind of fallen apart. A late assignment. Uninspiring group work. Missed trains. I'm trying to salvage it, and it stands to reason that some rescue should be possible, but it does affect my enthusiasm, feeling as though I'm missing out on a great opportunity for education.
I've been too tired to concentrate during or have plain missed too many of my Natural Language Processing courses. It's partly the consequence of having to take a 4:45AM train there, and getting back to London late on Tuesday night to begin with. It's hard to get to sleep before going to class, so sometimes I try to stay up or just sleep a little, and I end up sleeping through, or arriving sleep deprived. It's awful. And this is otherwise one of my favourite courses in my University career, and the last few lectures are just foggy in my mind.
I don't work well in groups. At least not in school. I have worked well in groups outside of school a lot. I've worked well in groups outside of Computer Science, too! There's too much conflict and unbalanced interest. I'm tired of fighting it, so now I just try to flow and make sure things stay on track. That doesn't work out well either.
I am complaining today, but I hope the last couple of weeks to come will be markedly better. :) Now to go present a week late on a case study.
