2009 Mid-Year Vacation

Today was our last exam this semester, it was about “Internetworking”, the exam was AWESOME! I really loved it especially the first question. Once I read it, I cared about nothing may come in the rest of the questions :D. I should be having almost 1 month to a month and a half as a vacation. It’s really full of stuff to be done, and should be done. From different perspectives, technically, socially and for the future this vacation should be a life changing one, it’s the last chance just before graduation and should be efficiently used.

Technically, I should be finishing JAVA, the standard edition at least. Without stopping my work, so both will run in parallel. We have some work to do in the GP, actually a lot of work and stuff to be checked, where will we but the components and how the system will look like.

depiak, we have really prepared for a lot of sessions, although I will have no great participation because of my university military service and I will be travelling to Cairo for the rest of the vacation just after I’m done with this military thing, but generally I will do my best with the great foundation this vacation isA. Ahmed Soliman intends to resume the Algorithms course, so if I had the chance to complete it – or I didn’t have it -, I should be reading the book he told us about, I know this will really be great for my future career, so this should be considered in mind.

I think about starting with python, I have never read, or started with it, and I have heard that it’s very popular and important in some future job vacancies. So this adds another task this vacation to the technical side.

I should be working more and more on my soft skills, a lot of books really need to be read, starting with “The mind map book” by Tony Buzan, and to “Seven habits of highly effective people”. I also have to read more about memory and how we can get the best use of our brains, I’m loving reading about such stuff, since I started with the mind map book after MIE 2008 summer training. We can add to this “Fast Reading” as a topic to look for, I think it will help serving the other pre-mentioned stuff.

Some opened vacacies of work, here in Mansoura and Cairo are in my mind now, I will try messaging them for an internship vacancy during this vacation. I don’t rely on this, but I just have put it in mind too.

One more thing, that I will “try” to start a diet :D  , I know this might be somehow possible, but I can just balance the equation with going to the GYM with Biko .

Wish me luck

PS: I forgot to add that I’m thinking about the “Begin” move, if you are interested message me :).
