Learning Journey!... http://learning.marcosbento.net Sun, 23 Nov 2008 15:55:00 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.6.5 en Classes started a month ago http://learning.marcosbento.net/?p=9 http://learning.marcosbento.net/?p=9#comments Sun, 23 Nov 2008 15:55:00 +0000 marcosbento http://learning.marcosbento.net/?p=9 As the title states, classes started a month ago… and as you can see by the lack of posts, it has taken all my spare time!

Initially, the idea was to take two courses this semester, but it proved to be too much. Adding to that fact that one of the courses wasn’t actually nothing that interested me, I decided  to follow with only one course. Even only having only one course this semester, working 40 hours a week and having to spend more time to study is being hard.

Currently, the main objective is to make “Transactional Systems” to the end. After 4 classes I already read eight papers and presented on two of them.

Let’s see how this goes until christmas break!

My subscription was ready more that 10 days ago, so I continue to way.

On my last check the do-or-die date is scheduled for September, 12th. On that day I hope to have some good news and more paperwork to fill out!

Information of available courses is very few, and news from insiders show some lack of organization! As usual…

But, there’s always a but, the date was delayed for another week. Now, the Last Call is due on September, 7th!

The only possible thing to do is wait!
