The most saddest day of my college/academic life

November 30, 2007

Today was awful!!!

I didn’t have breakfast and I left to school really early.

Yesterday I spent the day studying for Calculus until I understood everything that WE SAW IN CLASS!!

Well,

IT WAS ALL FOR NOTHING!!!

The exam was the most difficult and confusing exam that I have ever done!! All that I studied wasn’t there and I just felt awful after.

I cried all the way back home because of the frustation that I felt.

I can’t believe they would do something like this.

I’m going to fail the subject, now it is a fact.

I’m going to lose my scolarship and be grounded forever!!

Things I love Thursday

November 29, 2007

As every Thursday, in pure iCiNG fashion…

The list of things I’m grateful for…

  • Maximus being fine, even though he still has a cone on his head.
  • The fact that I did really good on my probability final.
  • The fact that I finally found the formulas that I need for my Calculus exam.
  • That my mum had fun last night during the Chayanne concert.
  • That I have a whole day to study for Calculus.
  • That I have Liz, Sara, Arely and Diego as friends.

Kisses,

Julie.

Probability was a success!!!

November 28, 2007

I did really good on my exam. All that hard work really did pay off!!!

I’m soo happy.

My only worry now is Calculus. My college future depends on this grade. I cannot lose my scholarship.

I’ll try more EFT today to get my Calculus frustration out.

I’m going to rest and sleep a bit. Study during the night and all of tomorrow. I hope I can swim, not sink.

Kisses,

Julie.

Studying for Probability

November 27, 2007

Today I had my Digital Communication delivery. I handed in my project, answered three questions about it and left school.

I fell asleep until right now, because I spent the whole night thinking about how much I need to get in order to maintain my scholarship. I tried EFT to feel better but since I didn’t follow dear Gala’s advice and didn’t drink a lot of water I felt awful. For those who don’t know about EFT (Gala can explain it better), it is a technique used to “nullify” the feelings that some memories, worries or problems cause you in order for you to be able to leave them behind and move on. Since EFT releases toxins in your body, you need to drink a lot of water before and after you do it in order to flush them down (yes I use in order to a lot!).

Right now I’m studying for my Probability exam. I hope to get a 10 again. I need it. It is not so diffcult but it sometimes can be very tricky, specially the first part of the course. I’m going to study.

If you don’t see me tommorrow, that means that my brain exploded.

Kisses,

Julie.

Update on Maximus

November 27, 2007

He’s fine!!!! Well as far as a dog with a cone on his head can be.

He didn’t have a tumor, it was a ball of fat. I’m so relieved!!!

I love my Maximus.

Pictures:

Attacking his giant stuffed horse.

Resting with my sister.

He had just arrived from the doggie salon.

Playing with his stuffed lion.

Lounging in the sun.

In a total pose, he’s such a show off.


Wishful thinking, to get the ball or to not get the ball?

I ♥ Maximus.

Physics day.

November 26, 2007

Today I had my Pjysics exam and what I found out is that I’m a complete idiot!!!!

I had the most idiotic mistakes and I’m kicking myself like mad!

The good thing is that I only need a 6.8 to get an 8 in the final grade so I’ not so worried. Besides I’ve got an 11 mistake margin.

I hope I can get more than 8 though. I need to get my average up in order to retain my scholarship.

I’m soo worried.

Maximus is going to have an operation, he has a tumor on one of his paws. I’m worried!! I don’t want him to die :( .

He’s my first dog ever and he’s a very sweet animal. I adore him like he was my child.

Kisses,

Julie.

Finals day two: Physics

November 25, 2007

As I told you yesterday, I’ve been studying for my Physics final. I need to get a great grade in this one in order to regain my spot as the Russians favourite student.

I’ve been studying my butt off this time and I’m looking forward to a 10 in the exam.

Next on this week:

  • Study for Probability Exam, hopefully with Diego.
  • Repeating my amazing perfect score of last period’s Probability Exam.
  • Do my Digital Communication exam and hand in my project.
  • Study like mad in order to get a 6.3 in Calculus.
  • Do my Calculus exam.

I’m looking forward break, I need to rest.

Kisses,

Julie.

Sooo tired

November 24, 2007

I’m really tired. My parents’ party went up until three in the morning. 

I had to step in as DJ because they brought really bad music. Luckily our stereo can connect to the laptop and we have a wireless network here. I had to be downloading music in the spot like mad, it was crazy. They anced, singed, played and screamed like this was a Parade or something.
I had to have three glasses of white wine and a vodka with cranberry juice in order to numb my nerves, I was getting very stressed
There was a lot of food (a Lasagna that was just to die for!!!) and a lot of people that I don’t know. I tried to learn their names but seriously I didn’t care about that. I’m not keen of knowing my parents friends. It is a long story but it has to do with religious beliefs.
Anyways, I slept until 11 o’clock and right now I’m watching the newest Barbir movie. After grabbing something to eat I’m going to spend the rest of the weekend studying for my Physics exam. 
Kisses,
Julie.

Is the last day of class and I’ll fight if I want to

November 24, 2007

Today, in my opinion, was a waste of time. It would have been better if I had just stayed in bed all day (which I did whe I got home from college).

I’ll tell you the whole story…

It all started at 5:10 am when I woke up, brushed my teeth, cleaned up, got dressed, got my hair done and my make up done. I grabbed a bite to eat and I left home.

I arrived at 6:40 am to school and went straight to the Engineer Building. I was wearing my Regina Romero boots and walking in heels for me is not that easy and I almost fell on my face one time n_n.

I saw Rafa and Beto doing their Probability homework (they have a different professor) and I was waiting for Liz so that we could go to our class. We went to clas and waited… and waited… and waited until it was 7:20 am, in my college there is a 20 minute period of tolerance for the professor to arrive to class, so we left and went to the upper leel of the library.

I practiced my Photoshop colouring skills while Liz and Alekz studied for their accounting (sp?) class. My laptop battery got eaten up and no, I didn’t have my A/C adapter with me. After they finished studying we went to the Cafeteria to grab some cupcakes while Shana Pol told us about crazy made up religions such as the Religion of the Pink Invisible Unicorn and the Pastafarians. It was funny.

After grabbing the cupcakes we returned to our home away form home (ergo: Engineer Building) and went to Calculus class.

I swear that if I fail that class I’m going to fin that idiot that calls himself a professor and get him so hard in the balls that he will have to have them amputaded (sp?) in order to be able to pee in peace.

This class was a total mess (and YES, I have pictures).

Last class the professor, we’ll call him stupid owl, told us that if we gave him our notes of the semester we would get an extra point on the 20% percent that belongs to participation and homeworks. Then he brought our notebooks and told us that no one had gotten the point (I got half a point which was fine by me).

Two girls in my class got very mad because they really needed the point and then they asked the professor what criteria had he used while grading the notebooks. Both their notebooks matched the criteria perfectly. The point is that they all got very mad, started yelling and we didn’t have a class yipee! (yes, I’m being sarcastic).

Pictures:



I’m afraid that stupid owl is going to grade my exam in a very fucked up way and fail me. I mean how does he expect us to demonstrate something the way that he thinks it? I’m no bloody mind reader. If he doesn’t teach us stuff then he shouldn’t be grading that badly.

I hate him and hope that he never procreates, his children don’t deserve to have such an idiotic father.

After that horrible class, I went to my service and my boss wasn’t there. Then I talked to Sara and came home.

I fell asleep and didn’t wake up until now to write this entry. I think that I should go and get ready for some party that my parents are having. I much rather stay here and write more *le sigh* but life is not fair….

Kisses,

Julie.

Last Physics Class for the semester

November 22, 2007

As I’ve said before, Physics is my favourite class of all. It was kinda sad to have the last class because next semester is the last that I’ll have with Prof. Alexander Reshetkov. He’s my favourite professor because he knows his subject perfectly, he is funny, not bad looking, he has a heavy rusian accent and he has a perfect blackboard organization.

Last semester he took us to climb the Nevado of Toluca, which is an inactive volcano in Toluca. It was a very long walk, but totally worth it. We climbed until we reached a height of 5,223 ft and the view from the top was completely beautiful. The pictures are available here and here. I look terrible in all of them, climbing mountains is not very glamourous.

Today I wore:

  • Black three quarter sweater that Liz brought me from Spain
  • Pink Mini skirt from Mango
  • Black Leggings from Mango
  • Black heels from Brantano
  • Black Sunglasses from Shasa

I don’t know what Liz was wearing. I hung out wuth my friend Sara for a while, we haven’t seen eachother for almost three weeks and I forgot to bring her the books she lend me yet again.


This is the University’s Sushi stand, TASHI. I haven’t had any yeat but everyone is just crazy about it.

Kisses,

Julie.
