Fortune of the day: Learn Chinese

Image Placeholder
I didn't even realize I haven't been here for almost a week =P If it wasn't for the time I spend on the computer waiting for the next episode of Fisica o Quimica to finish downloading, I wouldn't post so soon! Well, I am finally done with the first stage of my post-secondary education in Canada =] I should be more excited than I actually am, but it's hard since I still need to get rid of some stress that has been accumulating in me lately. While I work on that, let's relate how the week went.

Monday I had my very first final exams. I was kind of ready for JAC, and I'm glad that it wasn't too hard. I pretty much had to write the same code I wrote on my practices and assignments, which hopefully means I can get an A+ with Peter Liu =] I had a break before the second exam, and for the most part of it I was still suffering from the terrible feelings of the weekend. I was handling the evil impulses way worse than I did on Sunday, but finally I found some distraction to keep me from torturing myself. For some odd reason I was expecting the impossible, and it actually happened. It went well since I was practicing it in my mind the whole day, so the shadow of the weekend was replaced with a sunny warm spring day just before one of the hardest exams I had this semester. I didn't take the time to study for it, but inspiration made me give smart answers to the questions that I didn't know. Hopefully Anthony Austin will give me a B, since an A would be dreaming too high. After the exams I just went to get some food and come home to rest.

Tuesday I went very unprepared for my INT4 exam because I didn't have the energy to spend the night studying for it. I started terribly, and I even thought I was going to fail it. I managed to finish a reasonable deliverable, although I could not test it since I was getting this stupid connectivity error. If Ian Tipson is the person I feel he is, I will not only pass the subject, but also get a B in it. I had about 30 minutes to change my mindset to C++ after the first exam, and it wasn't very hard to do that. Fardad Soleimanloo's exam was very simple, and I even feel like I aced it. If it wasn't for the problem in my group assignment, I would get A+ in OOP was well. I left Seneca and went to TD Bank at Steeles and Bathurst to try to help solving some issues, and fortunately everything went fine. I then decided to hang out a little bit around the area, and my mood went up around 7 points (like when you play The Sims). As a result I got late for Express, but it was ok since Zulema, Lilian, Brent and I went for coffee anyway. We didn't stay out too late, so I actually got enough sleep that night.

Wednesday I was already feeling much lighter, since the hard exams were already done. DBS was a piece of cake, and I feel like I aced it too. However, I'm sure Nebojsa Conkic will penalize me for some stupid distraction since I was the first to hand in the paper. I came home after realizing it was useless to get Sarah Tan-See's help with my OHIP application when I'm not really eligible for it in the current situation. I quickly ate something and then went to St Christopher's House to watch a presentation on how to be a motivational speaker for the United Way. I was slowly pushed into this new extra volunteer position that might consume some of my time later this year, but maybe it will give me some interesting benefits. The presentation was good, and after it I went to Rosedale station to try to solve something at Rogers. The stupid clerk couldn't do anything for me, so I just left the store and went for a walk in the rich neighbourhood. After some moments meandering, I came home and watched the short movie Partially Cloudy again, and then Amelie Poulain =] That was it that day.

Thursday was the day of the last of my final exams from my ultimate semester =D Sounds exciting, but I wasn't really feeling like it was a "ponto final" kind of day. I wrote beautiful essays for Robin Potter to tell me they're perfect and grade me with a fucking B. Maybe an A will come along, but I don't want to think about it. I waited around the college doing some random stuff after my exam, so that Minoo could finish her English test as well and we could go together eat something as planned. Matt and Amy ran away from us (as I thought they would), so we just went to Steeles and Bathurst as opposed to going all the way to Vaughan. We ate at this Chinese buffet that had good food, but didn't really impress me. We left when we had loitered enough, and as I said goodbye to her I went to Superstore to have a sit and try solving the Roger's problem over the call centre. After two torturing hours of meaningless arguments, all I got was a big frustration of not getting anything solved and the bad energy from sex-deprived call-centre representatives (and their managers). I tried hard to keep my mood up after that, but I couldn't, so I just came home to watch this weird Spanish movie I had downloaded some time ago (Quemar las Naves).

Friday was almost like one of the chill-out days I used to have before my classes at UFMG and also before my classes at Seneca. I slept in, had what I wanted for breakfast, and felt no rush until I realized I still have an apartment and a job to find. I decided to start the green tea therapy to hopefully get rid of my pimples, so I drank almost 2 litres throughout the day (which made me go to the washroom all the time). In the afternoon Oli called me to meet him at Kensington market and try to find places for rent as an alternative for looking online. We didn't have much success, but we got an idea of the price range for shared rooms there. When he couldn't walk anymore, we went to this new coffee place on College and Bathurst that was way too dark. We stayed there planning our apartment-hunt steps, and then we walked to the Queen's Park so that I could take the subway and he could go visit a friend. Once I got home, I just watched another episode of Fisica o Quimica and kept chilling out. =]

SeeYa,
Feliploko, who likes you.
