....I have finally finished about 90% of the programming homework due tomorrow.
And my body has decided that all of the caffeine I digested early should be implemented now, which is why I won't be sleeping until very much later. Which of course is terrible, seeing as I have a 9 am class tomorrow. Which, coincidentally, is the programming class I'm staying awake for.
So one of the things I've learned about being a CS major at CMU is that while it is true that we have the most work (although the Archies and the ECE majors do come close), we also spend a solid 50% of the time complaining about how much work we have, and the other 50% actually doing work. So granted, if we started earlier, we would finish earlier. But being nocturnal actually is slightly more productive, since everyone else is asleep, meaning that there are a fewer distractions. And there's a sense of camaraderie that you feel with the rest of CS (whether they are in your class or not) when the Gates building comes alive at 4 am in the morning.
And as much as I complain about it, I truly love being a part of a wonderful class of Computer Science majors. We're arrogant, annoying, awkward, but (and I'll attempt to be modest and fail miserably) we're also some of the most hard-working and brilliant people I know. And I'm so glad that I get to spend the next 4 years of my life with these people <3
