I spent more than four hours to think about what is happened to me during this semester. I had lots of depression and emotional issues. I changed direction of my previous writings about two months ago, and now I don't write anything there. I think that my emotions affected a lot because of my workload and problems of this semester. I thought hard about the causes and effects of my decisions during the whole semester. I think that my performance was not satisfactory at all. I could do many things that I didn't do that. I tried to figure out what did I do with all my time.
Time for applying to companies for internship positions (job search, resume writing, applying, interview prepration, interviews,...) (5-12 days, I can't remember)
Time for creating this blog (about 3 days)
Time for helping people with email (excluding my blog comments) (I answered more than 200 emails, 200 * 10 min ~ 70 hours ~ 4 days)
Time doing nothing because of depressions (I don't know, maybe more than 10 days)
Time for finding an American friend (I really don't know)
Time for thinking about Angelina (I really don't know)
Time for potential research (3 days)
Time for dealing with uncertainties for the internship positions and research possibilities
The time that I didn't expect but I used well:
Time for learning Android programming (about 2 days)
Time for learning JSP (about 2 days)
Time for my course projects (about 5 days more than my expectations)
Time for obtaining information regarding new Apache products (about 2 days)
Time for learning information about medical gadgets (about 3 days)
After this analysis, I understood that why my performance was not satisfactory. I lost my balance this semester, and the above completely shows its effects. However, if I pass my two qualifying exams this semester, I still would meet all my goals of this period.
I need a better plan for the summer. This time, I spent lots of time out of my plan. I still need to spend more time to define better short-term goals.
