No this doesn't taste like first week

The first week was filled with struggling and frustrations.
and of course, is Very tiring.
our team's been working on the first assignment since Tuesday night.
progress has been made, yet not much, and I started to realize how limited our skills are to deal with all those obstacles we encountered so far. however, good thing is, these problems are all technical. With enough time put in, all technical problem can eventually be tackled. Now the problem comes, can I afford this "enough time"? there're only 11 days left now, and since the approximate total time we're gonna spend on tackling problms cannot be approximated (god knows how long it will take for me to figure out a trick to record user's last signout time e.g.),
the safest strategy we can employ right now is to chiong all the way to finish every task at hand, so that we secure as much time as possible for the next level's challenges.

Hopefully, we will have a working version of FB app by the end.

last time ex-3216 students talked with me, they seemed to convey such concept that this course never provide enough time for an app to be well developed, or even, gets developed. Well now I know this kind of statement has its cause, the pace is way beyond what has been common for NUS students when they get down to projectwork... Maybe that's how they expect us to learn. Learn it fast and learn it efficiently, deploy it fast and deploy it efficiently.

I have to get back to work now.

If you're stuck with some stupid looking problem for hours yet you dont have a slightest clue of what the heck has caused this bloody bloody and you've been googling this problem yet you dont have a slightest idea of what ppl up there are talking about regarding a seemingly same issue, how do you keep urself from going freaked out? well yeah baby I am experiencing this exclusive feeling rite now. maybe the course is a good place to learn controlling one's temper.

    Facebook apps are pretty easy to write. If you are having trouble technically, you may wish to post questions in the IVLE Forum.
