525

Just a number? Hardly a number! Its the number of a course. Its not just a course. Its more! CSCI 525 is a graduate (master's degree) course given in The American University in Cairo.

This course has been the most mind-boggling course I have ever taken. It has been one of the hardest and most demanding. At the same time it has been very displeasing. On the other hand I don't think I have ever enjoyed a course like this. It has been so challenging to the extent my mind was not powerful enough. LOL, I find this relevant to the subtitle of my blog: "An insight into a mind. A powerful tool, but only when tamed". Despite the tiring mind-boggling stress I managed to pull off a good grade in the second midterm. I was pleased with this...el humdulilah. There is still the daunting task of preparing for the final exam which is comprehensive and writing a literature survey paper of the Weighted Max-Sat problem. The person who writes the best paper will win a bump up in his end grade. WOW, I would love that. Fortunately and unfortunately I'm up against a lot of competition and im short of time since I have another final next week.

Life is hardship. If things came easy, there would be no self-pride and success...

Nitros time >>>>>

Its time for Nitrous time. The start of another phase of the project I'm on is starting at work. It is starting next week and unfortunately I have my masters final exams next week too. So i'm in a bit of a swamp... I got a paper due on Saturday, a paper due on Monday, and exam on Tuesday and my last one on the Saturday after that. Ufffff...Its going to be a few days in hell.

There is a possibility I maybe changing jobs. We will see what happens next week as I'm expecting InshAllah a reply from them. Wish me luck everyone! Thanx for the support. I know no one reads my blog but it feels good to report on life's events. I hope to enrich my blog a bit with clips, images, ...etc.

Its now time to push the button and go into Nitrous mode to be able to compress time into my current being and finish studying and work as soon as possible in time to be ready for the finals and deadlines!!!!!!!!!!!

Einstein proved it with his law of relativity. The faster you run, the slower time flies by. So the faster I work, the better Ill do InshAllah!

Korea...here we hum

Seoul is coming up soon. The competition is in two and a half months and no progress so far. We have been putting it off since we are all getting screwed in finals and work. I hope we quit the humming and start something concrete soon!!!!!!!
