Update: Walking into a Nightmare

That is correct.  I am walking into a nightmare as the week progress.  I know, a lot of people are busy and probably could care less about my problems.  Thats fine.  That's alright with me but I must tell someone about the nightmare I am about to walk into (rather than bug my friend a million times of how I'm going to die from exhaustion by the end of the week).

First on the agenda I have a lot of group projects.  Three group projects is a lot to get done in two weeks.  Not only do I have to make time for my finals (2 next week and 2 the following week), but I also have to make enough time to get the group projects done with my group members.

For one group project I have to create a library database.  It's only simple if ssh shell wasn't so frustrating.  If you make one mistake on a piece of coding, you have to start the entire command all over again.  That's the only part that can make the assignment OMEGA tedious.  For example in order to create a table, you need to create this entire line of sequence:

'Create Table Customer (CUSTOMERID Number(5) Primary Key, CompanyName VARCHAR2(50), LastName VARCHAR2(50) Not Null, FirstName VARCHAR(50) Not Null, Address
VARCHAR2(100), City VARCHAR(50), State CHAR(2), ZipCode Varchar2(10), Phone VARCHAR2(20), Fax VARCHAR2(20), UNIQUE (LastName, FirstName), CHECK (State IN ('MA','HI', 'NH','ME', 'VT', 'RI') ) );'

If I make one small minor error in the sequence above I would have to type it up all over again.  Database 101 is easy to understand, but frustrating at the same time.

Above is only an example.  This is a description of one of my tables:

I finished creating the tables, inserting all of the values, and making the specific queries for the individual assignment.  Now I must do this all over again for my group assignment.  It seems intimidating but I'm sure I'll be able to get it done....hopefully.

Next group project I have to do is create a website and a working shopping cart using sql, php, html, and css.  I have everything done, but I have to figure out how to add a functioning cart to my website.  The entire group project seems impossible, but I'm sure after watching a couple of tutorials, I'll be able to figure it out.

Lastly the last group project I have to create a case file for the MGM Studios, Inc. v. Grokster, Ltd. case.  I haven't necessarily read the assignment yet to fully understand what I am suppose to do for this. But I do know, that I need to finish my debate summary with my group about a debate we had last week.

So after recounting everything, I have four group projects and I haven't even discuss my individual assignments.  I'll cut this short because discussing things further will only create more anxiety.  I just can't wait for the end of this quarter.  Then maybe I can actually get some sleep.
