Why My 5.13 Problem Set Took All Day

Why My 5.13 Problem Set Took All Day Ive always been a procrastinator. Ive procrastinated on such tasks from toddling around on the carpet and thinking I suppose Ill try walking later, to my second-grade phase of Why learn to tie my shoes now? I have like, four more years before it becomes socially unacceptable to wear velcro. I have never, ever been one to get anything done before its due. Im well aware that this is one of my greatest flaws, and will probably be my downfall one day when Im ninety-two in a backless hospital gown thinking, eh, Ill breathe again in an hour or so. Inhaling is soooo much effort. At MIT, though, Ive tried to remedy this countless times, because time management is such a necessity. Sometimes I tell myself that if I get it done now I wont have to worry about it later, and when I worry about it later I inevitably worry about it much more than I would have if I had just done it now. Other times I try scare tactics and write notes to myself IF YOU DONT READ THIS CHAPTER RIGHT NOW, ILL NEVER SPEAK TO YOU AGAIN. It hasnt worked so far Thursday was the day before my 5.13 (Organic Chemistry II) problem set (pset) was due, and it took me all day. It wasnt that I didnt want to do it. Organic chemistry is probably one of my favorite subjects drawing those little arrow-pushing mechanisms warms my heart like a big hug from Bryan Nance (not that I ever get hugs from Nance). But if you were here, youd see that there was no possible way for me to get done before 4 AM. Heres exactly why it took me so long: 9:30 AM: Wake up, particularly early because no class until 12. Trek out to the suite kitchen to begin problem set, hoping to get about half of it done before 5.13 recitation. 9:40 AM: Just remembered opened a bag of sugar yesterday, and Burton-Conner kitchen particularly prone to ants. 9:43 AM: Finding tupperware to put sugar in. 9:45 AM: Wonder vaguely why anyone would be awake now, especially to put sugar in tupperware. 9:46 AM: Keeping ants out of sugar is important, anyway. (While writing this just now I got up to clean my whiteboard, and then thought about making pancakes instead of writing this entry. I was almost halfway to the kitchen when I remembered this entry was about procrastination.) 9:53 AM: Back to pset. mCPBA is the most commonly used peroxyacid to turn alkenes into epoxides. 9:54 AM: right?

Decide to start earlier next week. 2:05 PM: Off to Steam Cafe (to which people submit their own recipes), on the fourth floor of building 3 for really excellent Indian food. Crack open the pset once again. 4:45 PM: Almost three hours of work. Celebratory email-checking! 5:05 PM: 5.112 office hours at ESG with Mindy, the other chemistry TA. Discussing why helium is not found at high abundance in atmosphere decidedly more fun than epoxide chemistry. 7:15 PM: Last students finally leave, and decide to make quick pasta for dinner with Phyo, another TA and 10. Lament over not having any time to do problem set. 7:35 PM: Teaching Seminar, a required 6-unit class for all new ESG TAs. Discuss different teaching approaches and what not to do while attempting to inhale dinner and remember whether oxymercuration of an alkene yields syn or anti stereochemistry. 7:37 PM: Anti. Definitely anti. 8:40 PM: Call from Yuting, who wants to work on the problem set. Hike over to Next House (ex-home that is still home to friends met last year) to collaborate and finally get this thing over with. 9:05 PM: Crash on a couch in the lounge. Pull out book. 9:07 PM: Javi pulls everyone in the hall into his room to watch his very independent, very underground film for his media studies class called The Thing That Happened to Moji. Taking place entirely in the hall bathroom, the film centers around the thing that happened to a freshman named Moji (who mysteriously NEVER APPEARS), and the people who discuss it whilst brushing their teeth and doing other various bathroom-type activities (i.e. Did you hear what happened to Moji? I heard she had to go to the hospital. You had to be there; it was AWESOME.). 9:14 PM: Remember its parents weekend (students parents are permitted to visit and see how dedicated their children are to their problem sets) as Laurens parents walk into the room. 9:19 PM: The punchline of the movie, delivered by Lauren: Im pregnant. 9:20 PM: Lauren immediately turns to parents: ITS A JOKE. 9:21 PM: Realize nobody actually knows what happened to Moji and feel slightly disappointed. 9:35 PM: Back to problem set. 9:37 PM: Freshman wanders into hall looking for Moji. Immediately ask if he heard what happened to Moji. 11:28 PM: Matt Cohen, Dance Troupe dance partner and friend, wanders into the lounge. Happen to let slide the fact that Matt can shimmy like Shakira. 11:29 PM: Everyone immediately begs Matt to shimmy. 11:32 PM: End up dancing with Matt. 11:45 PM: Decide dancing was a productive, well-deserved study break. Back to problem set. 12:55 AM: Karen brings out cannolis from Mikes Pastries. 12:57 AM: Study break to discuss the cannoli vs. eclair. 1:32 AM: Problem set. 2:33 AM: Starting to get sleepy from waking up early. Ten minute power nap. 2:43 AM: Problem set! Preparing thiols using sodium hydrosulfide has poor yield; thiourea better choice. 3:03 AM: As (most) everyone has gone to sleep already, finally able to get work done. 3:05 AM: Last problem. Celebratory dance party. 3:30 AM: Eighteen hours later, problem set is FINALLY finished. Head home to crash immediately. 3:34 AM: Quick email check. No, there is no biochemical engineering program at MIT I lied, theres 10-B (chemical-biological engineering).. I dont know what I was thinking. Thanks, Peter. 4:41 AM: ..er.. quick email check? Fall into bed, with only seven hours before needing to wake up again and turn in the problem set that took all day. 4:42 AM: Problem set is.. where exactly? 4:45 AM: BRIEF PANIC ATTACK. 4:47 AM: Remember gave to Shen to turn in, thereby bypassing waking up another hour earlier (and probably, putting flour in tupperware) 4:48 AM: Mental note to put flour in tupperware. So the pset got done, as it always does. But its days like these when I feel I should probably print out these blog entries and turn them in with my exams, so theyd give me a day instead of the allotted hour. Even still, though Id probably end leaving the testing site to check my email.

The Wrath of Poseidon in Odyssey Essay - 1951 Words

Throughout the Odyssey, the struggles of Odysseus are revealed to the reader through the well written epic. His journey is very difficult and he is haunted with the loss of his entire crew and seemingly impossible task of getting home to his family. While journeying homewards, Odysseus makes the mistake of harming the Cyclops, who happens to be Poseidons son. Poseidon is so angry at Odysseus for the harm he inflicted on the Cyclops, that through the influence of all powerful Zeus, he punishes Odysseus along with his other children, the Phaeacians, who can be seen to parallel as well as contrast with the Cyclops. When he first sets out on his journey, Odysseus is setting out for war and by the time that war is over, he wants nothing†¦show more content†¦Once they have successfully blinded the Cyclops, they ride out on the goats bellies to safety. It is here that Odysseus truly angers the Cyclops, by taunting him from safety on the deck of his ship; this causes the Cyclops t o fire rocks at the ship, missing every time. When the Cyclops reaches his breaking point, he raises his arms up to the sky and prays to his father â€Å"Hear me Poseidon †¦ if I really am your son and you claim to be my father grant that Odysseus, raider of cities, Laertes son who makes his home in Ithaca, never reaches home.† (Homer 228). Charles Segal states, â€Å"The spoken word of the prayer, the invisible and distant fulfillment, proves, after all, the more effective instrument of revenge.†(504). This highlights the fact that, with the wrath of the Poseidon placed upon him, Odysseus will have much more to overcome than just plain brute force of the Cyclops himself. Stavros Frangoulidis infers that it is this prayer that, â€Å"Marks the beginning of Odysseus’s troublesome journey back home and, therefore, his odyssey.† (45). It is at this point in the epic where the anger of Poseidon is unleashed on Odysseus, and from then on, the journey i s nothing but a struggle. He is trapped by the goddess Circe, who turns some of his men into pigs. Then, he is forced to make a trip to speak to theShow MoreRelatedTheme Of Violence In The Odyssey1025 Words   |  5 Pages The Odyssey by Homer is a literary classic that presents many themes about the natures of both man and god.
