wow, you actually have a planner and you study? the last year of my college life, my co-conspirator and I would party or go make a run to Toys R Us to buy something to distract us during dead week while everyone is pulling all nighters. We ended up doing the same if not better than the ones that studied all night.

And I sometimes to this day have dreams of still being in college and having to take finals that I have no clue what the subject is about, or my counselor telling me that i dont have enough credits to graduate!!!

College was fun, but i dont miss the classes.

Not retarded at all. I've made similar lists when I have certain periods of HIGH obligation, and I NEED to make sure I dont forget anything, and manage my time wisely.

Also it's satisfiying to see the items gradually checked off, until you can breath a sigh of relief.

And within each category, subcategories are included. Granted I've had a team working on it and with me adding finishing touches but now I have to send it to DC and possibly brief over VTC. Other people are interested as well since an organic (Iraqi) Intel organization is vital to using the Iraqi populace and conducting their own raids to destroy the terrorists/insurgency after US Forces leave.

But at least I can say I made a difference in the world as I work with these guys everyday and have been here since 2004 building, restructuring, and modifying their Intel apparatus to the state it is in today. Not perfect but it will require about another 3-6 years before its good.


Trying to construct an effective organization from a corrupt, defunct and power hungry previous institution is a mind-boggling task.

Same here. I looked for a good few minutes to try and figure out what mistake or whatever was on that list before I scrolled down. Now I feel like an idiot...

Must be nice to get a whole sheet of paper. In my computer classes we were only allowed half of an IBM card. For you younguns', that's what computer programs were entered with before the modern computers. They wer about 4" x 8" and had holes punched in them using Hollerith Code.

This is my first class so far where we're allowed to have a "cheat sheet". It's really a joke. My teacher could care less if we actually learn anything. He actually is a dj here, and he gave us his website. www.nathanmusic.com I don't know why he's teaching, money on the side I guess.

My instructor's thinking was, if you wrote and rewrote all you needed to know onto the back of half the card, by the time you got to the exam you didn't need the card. No one in the classes ever brought one in.

Yeah back then it makes sense. I learn a lot by copying things. The problem now though is that you can just take all of the power point slides that he has uploaded on his site and paste them all into a word document. Then you just have to delete all the spaces and make it 8pt font size.
