122 @bloodsy: Naaah! You're fine :)

@xemo: I've been looking for an app like that actually. Gonna see if it's available for my OS <3 Also great tips! That's what I do too!

@ruki: Good luck with the driving!!! And I'm sure you're gonna figure this out! Actually...from the awesome sketches you showed us, I think you should become an animator!

@angel:
Okay! Noooow! We're going to estimate the number of hours you have each day. I'm doing it with the numbers that I know are true to me. They might be different for you. I'll also tell you in the end how I got these numbers to work for me. Tips and tricks ;)

On average, the school takes about  7- 8 hours a day (including commuting) and you need 8 hours a day for sleeping
2 hour of eating
That's 8 + 8 + 2 = 18 hours
You have 6 more hours.
I usually take 2 more hours out -- since I know for a fact I don't focus enough and I'll spend a lot of time wandering around aimlessly. And it's also a good buffer in case something goes over time. Also you have an hour of stuff you need to do daily right?

So you have 4 hours per school day to study + have fun, right?
For weekends, you have 8 hours for sleeping + 3 hours for eating/showering/etc + 1 - 2 hour of family stuff -- So you have anywhere between 8 - 10 hours of activities

Now, for each day from 1/30 to 2/28, I would do something like this:

Friday 1/30 (Remaining: 4 hours)


Saturday 1/31(Remaining 8 hours)


Sunday 2/1 (Remaining 8 hours)


Monday 2/2 (Remaining 4 hours)

...

And so on

Movign forward, anything you schedule, you take out of the list.

After that, you look at your deadlines first!
For each deadline you haven't planned yet
- Start with the closest one first
- Ask yourself: Is it really important to me or not? If it is ... move forward
- Now look at the closest day with remaining hours, can it fit in there? Can you block some time on that day for it?
If so, add it under that day and reduce the number of hours on that day by the number of hours needed for that task

Once you're done with that, check the weekly things. Limit those to 3 hours a week or max! Put them in their dates and reduce the time remaining on those dates.

The daily things you wanted to do, we already took care of them in the 2 hour buffer remember, so just ignore these for now

Now, look at the important stuff, you know how long each should take give or take, put them in their dates (try to estimate which is more urgent and schedule them first) and reduce the number of hours on those dates.
Of course things that should take place at school wouldn't be included in the hours since these are after-school hours, so for now leave these aside.

Now you shoudl haev a list of dates with number of hours of free time on them + things planned for the month. (almost all of the things now -- with the exception of the things you wanted to try, things taking place during the school day + daily stuff)

Tell me if you get stuck at anything. The reason I do things this way is that it got automated and I don't have to think much about it.

122 Hope it helps bloodsy :)
Girls, read this if you're interesting in Engineering or Technology or Computer Science or just want to nkow more about prgramming in general:http://us.ohmydollz.com/board/viewtopic … 61#p295961

122 oh noooooo!!! Totally broke?

122 ouch! That is expensive. THere're usually cheaper stores though. Sometimes.

121 HP can be pretty sensitive, but it usually is one of the better brands. Dell can be so ... problematic. Lenovo, believe it or not, is pretty sturdy and good, but usually expensive.

121
I grew up around Dell, so dell for me. Arlington County also only supplies Dell computers and Chromebooks. Take home laptops and Computer Lab computers have always been Dell.
Though Freshman now get Macbooks >.>

Twin, why not try looking into a small store that would fix it. Usually people put ads to fix electronics on Craigslist.

Darky - So I'm making the schedule, but how would I put homework into it? Would I estimate the time it would take me to finish in general?

121 Good luck bloodsy :(

Angel, you have two options:
1. In general estimate a number of hours a week for homework and use that while scheduling
2. The one I usually prefer while working is if it's been a few weeks since the semester started, I would estimate the number of hours earh course needs a week.

So, say if I know Math needs about 2 hours of homework and 1 hour of studying a week, then I count 3 hours
CS needs about 7 - 8 hours a week. Then, I schedule that.

In other words, I count them in the weekly portion.

A few things to take care of:
- Always add at least 2 more hours for study period that don't apply to any course in case you need extra time
- Don't just estimate homework. You need to study things as you take them so you don't get stuck while studying for exams. That way you always have a buffer.

121 lol! Ghost bloodsy! booooooo

121 I love the smell of wet paint actually!

119

lol Neri and in with you on loving chemical smells. Gotta keep me away from sharpies in fear of smelling them dry >.>

119
I actually have a list
1) Sharpies
2) Pine Cleaner
3) Nail polish (certain brands >.>)
Not complete list of course but...ahahahaha And they probably are not okay for me to be inhaling, so I don't go out of my way to smell them (MOST of the time ^^")
