I went to see "In The Bedroom". It was bad. I didn't mind the fact that it was slow-placed, and some of the actors were okay in it. My problem is that the movie has no point. The ending is kind of predictable, and the overall story is not interesting enough. Why was this movie made in the first place?!

Talking about 'your life with food'? And you're paying to take this class?! Just say whatever bullshit comes to your mind, and you'll probably be fine. And I can relate to not liking the people in the class. I hate most of the people in most of my classes. I don't know why. It may have something to do with the fact that I hate most of my classes so I project my anger mentally onto the people. There are so many faces I'd like to punch, it's unbelievable. Why can't these jerks understand that I'm the smartest and the overall number 1, and go hide in a hole out of my visual range?
I have a test in Physical Chemistry on Monday. Right now, I don't think I'll do well. I can't distinguish between the formulas I'm supposed to use. I have a salad of isothermal and adiabatic expansions, reversible and irreversible processes, work, internal energy, enthalpy, van der Waala and ideal gas behaviors in my head. OH! Did I mention that on top of everything else, we must know almost all formulas by heart??? There are at least 30!
In Organic Chem, I'm finally starting to understand a bit of how I'm supposed to interpret nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectra. I'll 'only' have Infrared (IR) spectroscopy, and Mass spectometry left to understand.
And what's up with net people these days? About 90% of the blogs I'm reading are filled with angry statements. Wait... so is this one. What's wrong with me?! I don't have time to stick a finger up my nose and complain!!! BACK TO WORK! EVERYBODY SHUT UP OR BE NICE!
I love youuuuu. I love eeeeeverybody. Have a cookie!

haha, that's funny. My old music room didn't have any windows, I wonder if it did we could have made it vibrate... hehe.
My classes are ok so far. I'd love to keep this schedule because it's working out well. Except I hate english class still. ugh. the first homework assignment was to write an essay on food. i hate writing essays. ugh! especially in that class she wants us to talk and i'm shy. i don't like to talk much about "my life with food" or reading any written papers aloud. i don't know anybody in that class and it makes me so uncomfortable for some reason. all my other classes i know at least one other person previously and it feels good to know i have someone to talk to.
anyways.
back to more essays.

This is yet another post about my music class. Today we were lerning about rhythm when a man walked in and asked if someone has found his jacket. It turns out that the teacher knew him (everybody knows everybody in the music building--it's creepy). As we found out soon after, he is supposedly one of McGill's top singers so just to piss him off, the teacher told him to teach for the rest of the class. Needless to say that whenever he would start singing, the windows would vibrate. It was like the opera, but really really loud because the classroom was relatively tiny. It was so cool. This is the weirdest class I've had in years.

Music class was cancelled today. I was disappointed, but at least I'll have a bit more time to catch up with the huge number of exercises I must do. In Organic, we're studying all sorts of methods that are supposed to provide us with clues about the structure and mass of molecules. It's so boring! Plus, the teacher cannot explain well this section at all. Everyone was lost and gradually falling asleep.
I've got problems in Physical Chem also. Some of them are not obvious at ALL. Find how much time it takes for a person to die by carbon dioxide poisoning while being kept in a sealed room of a given volume. They also give you the person's lung capacity, and the rate of respiration, and the % of oxigen absorption, and I still can't figure it out, and I still don't care, and in the end all I want to do is pee on the fucking textbook and set it on fire...
But tomorrow I'll go to the pool. I'll stay 1hr30 cos I'm furious!
Funny things I saw written in bathroom stalls over the years:
1. Bathroom tennis: Look Right (you look right) Bathroom tennis: Look Left
2. It's my first time! Can you wipe my ass please?
3. What came first? The chicken or the egg? Ans: SHIT!

So, today was lab 2 in Organic Chem. The tension between me and the asshole TA was kept to a minimum as we barely spoke to each other. I had to ask a question, but after it was received with a condescending ''yeah, hi?'', I just replied ''yeah...'' and dropped it. Anyway, I didn't bother to hand in the first lab since it was a 'practice' one, and it would have been graded with a 'pass' or a 'fail'. I chose not to waste my time with this type of nonsense.
In my Chinese Culture class, the readings are more and more complicated. The words don't make any sense. Those philosophers should have been forced to get real jobs!
I'm naturally behind with my assigned problems in Physical Chemistry, but one day I'll do them. I promise. Today we had a new set added to the previous one. It made me nostalgic. That's how I used to deal with my assigned work in my previous Physics classes also... Awww!
You know, I was thinking: What if I REALLY started to study at some point? Wouldn't that be wild?!

They're done! This is the LAST season of The X-Files. The series will end in May with episode 201. I feel so relieved they finally decided to quit pissin' off the fans. Maybe Mulder will come back for the finale, but since Duchovny said "never again", it prolly won't happen. I'm happy. It's weird. Now, I WANT to see all remaining eps to see what will finally happen!!! I hope Chris Carter won't mess up the ending. It would be so cool if in the very last scene Scully and Mulder will dance as they did in 'Post-Modern Prometheus'. I'm sooooo excited!

oh doctor is right. four days left of vacation and i'll be back at school monday morning. wee. it's about time to get away from home again. oh, and the hall director of my dorm called to offer me a new roommate. lol. she first called and i wasn't home so my mom told me about it. i thought i was gonna get kicked out or put on some dumb curfew schedule because of my current predicament... but it was nothing like that. apparently after the hectic time of people moving in and out and around, there is more space available. so they're trying to split up the triples into doubles and i'm out of my room. into another one somewhere but i don't know yet. i hope my roomies understand. i hope i still get a fridge. i wonder how pissed my roomies will be when i take my tv with me. and i hope my new roomie isn't a nightmare, it'd be nice if i knew her already. i'm rambling. oh my!

That's deep man. Unfortunately I'm not able to find the words to express my true feelings like that so everything coming out of my mouth is senseless babble.
I added a link to your friend's blog. Hey kiddo! =) I'm too lazy to go edit the actual link page, but since he's linked up here I bet our 2 visitors will see it here better than taking the extra click to the links page. Or something. Anyways.
Too bad you're not online so we could have our weekly X Files criticism/discussion time. hehe. There are people still finding our blog after asking Google if Annabeth Gish is a lesbian or not.

First week of university is over. I should feel like I'm moving forward, but in fact it's as if I'm standing still. It's boring, and I have no motivation left. It's the same as it was back in cegep (college).
And I had hopes for things to happen. There were a billion doors. Every door was one hope. And after I opened the first, there was nothing but another one behind it, and after that one... yet another door. You open and you open, never reaching the end, and always being disappointed. And when you're tired, so very tired , you get to the last door. Behind it, there's just a wall. You can't go on anymore, and you're too tired to go back. You sit down and wait patiently despite the fact that you're a very impatient person. You still have one hope left; you dream that there may be someone on the other side, someone strong enough to destroy this wall and find you...

LOL! The 'someone thinks I'm nice' message was not intended for you, but I sure am flattered by your kind words. I don't think I'm even worth such praise. I'm kind of embarrassed. I think the same way about you. You're really one of my best friends! Feel very good about yourself. I'm a total bastard, and I don't make many friends because I think I'm better than everybody.
My China class is a load of bullshit. That of course means it's quite philosophical. While I do understand what's going on, I still believe philosophers should get their asses kicked for wasting my time with their pointless and pompous blabber. Music class is turning out to be more difficult than what I was expecting. I really don't know much about music at all! And I thought I knew everything (LOL)!!!

I just missed you! Okay well the time of this entry will prove that it is looong after you know you logged off.
I'm glad you're getting thru uni so far. Now you know how expensive books are. I'm trying to unload two books I couldn't buy back at half.com or someplace. Miss Jenson sounds cool. Uni's have a variety of people and professors, it's funny. Oh and I should say, "I told you so!" but I didn't tell you anything before, but all music teachers are kooky. Group singing is always a disaster, but it leaves everybody laughing and embarassingly glancing at each other.
Now that you've dropped Cognition and replaced it with a Chinese culture class, are you still getting enough credits? I'm sure it's not as bad as it sounds. That should be an enlightening class.
Oh and by the by, of course you are nice! Did I not tell you that either? (uh oh, i'm gonna get personal...) For the last two or three years I've known you so far, I'm glad we're still keeping in contact. You've helped me through a difficult time in my life, a.k.a high school, and after all that you're still here! So from me to you, thank you for being supportive and friendly to me. And yes, you do help people! Even a smile or nice gesture, something little and it may seem insignificant, you've already made some sort of impact on someone's life. I think I'm starting to make no sense at all.

Guess what?! My Terrestrial Planets teacher is a transvestite (or transsexual, not sure)!!! I'm NOT joking! I couldn't believe it myself and I was there. Radu was with me too. We both thought she looked a bit funny. Her face was especially masculine, but then she introduced herself. She even showed us pictures from years back when she used to be a man, and told us that she's not ashamed of who she is. She also told us that the man thing 'didn't work out'--LOL! Isn't this the coolest thing ever??? I was completely scared at first, but then it became obvious that she was just as normal and coherent as anybody else. What's most important is that she's really into the stuff she teaches. Miss Jensen also promised that she'll never fail any of us so that means she's not evil (phew!). You can see who she is here (there are tons of links to her other pages too):
http://travesti.geophys.mcgill.ca/~olivia/olivia.html
She recommends using Netscape because she absolutely hates Microsoft (ROFL!). I told mother and Sabin (bro) about her, and they're afraid... sooooo afraid... Hehehehehe.
And yet my Terrestrial Planets class wasn't the funniest. It came in second after my Basics of Western Music class. You should see this woman who teaches it. She seems completely lost (although she's not), she's always squinting, and she won't shut up about how little people care about her class. And then we sang! Thankfully, it was group singing. She would play notes on the piano, and we would try to reproduce them vocally. Sometimes she'd drop the whole exercise, and she would start playing whatever came to her mind (like the 'Star Wars' theme--LOL!) without worrying about her totally confused (and amused) class. I can't wait for Thursday!!!
A bad thing happened too. I had to drop my Cognition class because I needed prerequisites in order to take it. They made a mistake in the calendar, and so I had no way of knowing. Plus, the teacher said we'd have to read about 120 pages per week. So yeah... no, I don't read. This motha fucker is outta here!!! I took a class about Chinese culture, which is given at the same time. I hiope it'll be ok.
And you know what? Someone thinks I'm nice ;)

I had my first university class today: Physcal Chemistry for the Biological Sciences I. It turned out to be a mix of Chemistry of Solutions and General Biology II. The book is 147$. Mother was 'ecstatic.' The class was huge. They've of course overbooked. I didn't have the Organic Chem II lab. That starts next week. I have to buy a lab coat. Cool? Geeky? I don't even know anymore. I found the cafeteria (one of many) and the bookstore and the library (one of many). I also got a student ID. The girl at the registrar's office was so nice! Thank God, last week's bitch was absent... or DEAD!
Tomorrow I have 4 classes. The day will be long, but I have reasons to be happier these days.
You know how I've been going to the hospital every Sunday for the past year? I've never really known why I decided to volunteer, why every Sunday morning I would wake up, go meet old people, and patiently help them get to the chapel for the mass. I still don't know for sure. It doesn't make me feel better inside. I still feel the same way about it as I did on my first day: it's something to do, to keep me occupied. And it's sad. I've seen my grandmother's eyes more than once in there. I've held my grandfather's hand quite often too, but they were never there. They're far away... and I may never see them again. This experience brings me sorrow when it doesn't leave me apathetic, yet I won't quit. I don't know why their 'thank you's don't make me feel happier. Maybe it's because I never really talk to them. I never really get to know them.
I recently met someone over the net who has allowed me to get close, just as you have or maybe even closer. I'm beginning to know this person, and we talk. This has something to do with my volunteering. This person suffers from a grave illness, and I finally feel like, just by talking, I'm really helping! I don't know for sure if I'm trully doing any good yet, but this sense of accomplishment was never present in my volunteer work. I guess that getting to know someone a bit more makes a huge difference... Since our coversations never turn this serious, I'd like to put a 'thank you' here :) To me, at LEAST, it means a lot.
Tomorrow, Radu (my best friend by circumstance) is coming to visit me at McGill. I can't wait to show him everything because he goes to Concordia, and I'm better than him (HHHA!). I look forward to having an accomplice while making fun of the artsy university students.

*This bastard is going to university!*
I spoke to the advisor. She told me the schedule was fine. I passed all my cegep classes (even Physics with a wonderful 68). I didn't do ANY work this past semester. In Biology, I didn't even read the material for the second half of the semester, and I still finished with 83 (!!!). It was so great! Since my average for all my science classes is 87, they may even give me an 'Honors' mention LOL. Good thing I had great marks in tha beginning cos I screwed everything in the end. This is so like me :)
So Monday it starts!

I'm going to McGill tomorrow to find an advisor and ask questions. I hope I'll find someone competent. I'm still very lost, but I've managed to find all buildings I'm supposed to go to on the map they gave me. I'll also look for classrooms tomorrow IF the advisor tells me that the subjects I registered for are OK. If they're not, it'll be a nightmare.
I'm excited!
