Good-bye for now

Sorry blog...I must abandon you for a couple of weeks. Midterms, assignments and stupid Java quizzes await me.... Wish me luck!!

Yes!! I think I had all this array crap down for tomorrow's quiz. I just hope I won't freak out and forget everything I've studied so hard for tonight...

A first year's worst nightmare

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I can't stand it anymore!! My crazy next door neighbour is at it again! Okie...not THAT but it's something almost just as a annoying. Those damn bagpipes! I want to just burst in there right now and smash it to bits. OMG that droning is drive me insane... Yes my next door neighbour is a music major and I hate it. Help me I have too many damn quizzes this week to deal with this!

A rather unproductive day, yup that's me!

hmm...maybe I should finish up that lab report for APSC 100?? hmm....nope I think I would rather blog about my super unproductive day. Although I've managed to complete almost no work as of yet I did however spent most of my day watching debate. Strange, you say?? Actually not quite so...I never realized how debating could be so interesting until this afternoon when I watched my good friend Siyu at it. Siyu's a friend of mine from my days at York Mills and this weekend he was here at Queen's representing UT's engineering debating team. *sniff sniff* I wish more of my old friends would come visit me...I'm feeling so lonely =( Siyu's an excellent debator so anyone going up against him best beware! So what fascinated me most about debate is the formality of it all. At the start of the round, the spectators in the room all rise as the procession of debators, the timekeeper and the speaker is lead into the room by a person carrying the "mace" which is this giant club that he bangs on the floor as a ritual before the group marches in. Then as the sides come out to make their arguments, they refer to people is ways such as "Mr. Speaker", "honourable" so-and-so and "members of the gallery" (I was a member of the gallery!! =P). But above all, my favourite part of whole proceeding was the table slapping. OMG I loved it!! It sure as hell beats ordinary boring clapping! =) I thought before that slapping tables or in some cases, the side boards of the balcony in Grant Hall was a practice reserved for rowdy engineers but not so! It was very entertaining to see old guys, 50-60 year olds doing the same thing. All of the speakers were extremely gifted in my opinion because it's definitely not an easy task to be thrown a topic and a viewpoint (that might not correspond with your own) and be required to defend it after only 15 minutes of preparation. If I were in their shoes, I probably would have pissed myself within five considering how much I hate both confrontation and public speaking. Good job everyone especially to Siyu and Nan! This has definitely been an experience (I mean watching a debate) I recommend to all of you out there! =)

Physics is Phun!

The week is finally over and I made it out alive! Calc quiz wasn't that bad and physics was just hilarious today! Besides being an actually pretty interesting lecture today, what was even more entertaining was the person sitting next to me, Jackie. hahaha...life would be dull without her! Apparently Jackie seems to have an attraction for smelly feet as she always manages to seat herself right in front of people who like to put their feet up during lectures. Today, it happened to be not just one, but the people on both sides of her were doing it! Meaning one had their feet up on MY chair!! Oh well...it doesn't bother me as much since most of the time, I lean forward to take notes (see! who says I don't pay attention in class??) but Jackie on the other hand....she couldn't stop squirming! To make things even more interesting, I happened to notice that the girl sitting in front of me had an extraordinary long fingernail on just one of her fingers and that reminded me of something Phong once told me. Do you know what the best use of a long fingernail is?? They're great for nose-picking!! EEEEWWWW hahaha!! ahhh....physics is so phun minus the actual physics =P

I hate Java!!

Did I ever tell you how much I hate java?? What do I care about if...else if...else if (times a million)...else statements or all that boolean crap?! It's not like I'm going into comp eng...what a dumb course. As soon as I'm done with this course I'm never looking at another java code ever again. *sigh* Java is the devil and has ruined my life... =(

midterms and lost backpacks...

Yay!!!
One down.....and who knows how many more to go! I hate midterms but then again who doesn't. I just came back from the first of my two algebra midterms ten minutes ago and had I not be so stupid, it would have been 20. The midterm was pretty alright by the way...I think I might actually have done well...surprisingly. Since I started uni, it's not often that I see good mark coming back to me. ANYWAYS!! As I was saying...I finished my exam 15 minutes before the time was up and having checked it a gazillion times already got up to leave. As I walked out the door, something didn't feel right...I knew I forgot something... Oh my scarf!! So I went back inside, told the proctor that I think I may have left something and went back to my seat to look but it wasn't there. So I didn't leave anything afterall. Already I felt kind of bad for making Jackie and Leeann wait for me. So we're heading back to res, chatting about the exam and then it hit me. OMG MY BACKPACK!!!! And by then we were already about half way home!! So poor Jackie...she got dragged all the way back to BioSci with me to retrieve my poor abandoned backpack. Then it occurred to me that the exam might be over by now and the proctor is about to leave so I had to run all the way back there and arrived in the room totally out of breath. The proctor was just laughing when I told her what happened. Man I feel dumb...I am truly stupid kid #2.
