Journal Entry 101

Tomorrow's my exam

Viva-voce and practical

On computer architecture.

 

Instruction set addressing modes

Register banks control unit

Arithmetic or logic unit

Chip select input/output devices

Cache memory ram rom

Plexers adders subtractors

Encoders decoders

Shift registers counters

Latches flip-flops and

Binary cells.

 

It's a blurry mess

Inside my head.

 

Then come

Pipelining and hazards

Handler, Flynn, mano

Von Neumann and

Boole.

 

All those miserable dolts

Who make your life

Hell.

 

But the main problem

Is my digestive system

Which seems to have completely

Given up on trying to

Make me feel hungry.

 

Acid's always travelling up to my nose

Dripping with a sour thickness like liquid rotten fish

Throat's choked with yesterday's dinner

Can feel the bile rising through the esophagus.

 

Haven't taken a dump

In a week

Pills syrup exercise

Nothing's helped me.

 

Looks I can just wait and watch

If this disease kills me first

Saves me the trouble of

Committing harakiri.
