Hectic Hecticness

It has been such a long week, luckily the week's done but the work isn't. After the 2 free days the University gave to us due to the heavy rain and not coming in on Thursday, I feel like this week was endless. On Monday I had to take a killer Italian exam (though it was...I suppose, easy since we were able to use the book and dictionary) and I arrived almost 15 minutes late *sighs* On Tuesday I had no idea we had a quiz in Annie's class, so that really took me by surprise unfortunately, but the material was basically everything she has covered up 'til now. I had a literary essay that was due today for English 300, plus I have to do a library search (so I can add references) for yet another assignment for the same class, two assignments actually...on two different authors: Toni Cade Bambara and Gabriel García Marquez. I had a quiz in mom's class today on Machiavelli, which was easy. My English 311 midterm is scheduled for next Thursday, plus we have to show Annie our class portfolio ugh...>_< which is...not up to date...- -;;; On Monday I have a test in Philosophy 312...yeah...I'm swamped with work, I can't wait for next week to be over and done.

Oh, we also had a Spanish test last Monday and it was done in group. It was basically everything I learned during Eng. 224 last semester, so it was easy ^_^ Oh my God, I was paired up with two girls so we could do the test, well...there was one part where we had to do brainstorming (tejido de ideas) and write a paragraph on Fauna. Okay...that was pretty easy right? And we all know what Fauna is, hehehe...Well we were brainstorming "amphibians, mammals, reptiles, birds" and the animals included in those categories. Well one of the girls told me "Fish, where do they go? Mammals?", my eyes just popped out...I started gasping and hiperventillating. Ada Hilda asked me "Naya, honey, what's wrong? O.O" and I just started stabbing my chest with my pen...she got worried and told me to go over to her desk and I told her what my partner said and she just started laughing, bien linda...como que es Ada Hilda ^_^ hehehe...the test was fun.

On Wednesday, we had our Italian class at the computer laboratory. Hehehe I love arguing with the computer in the Tell Me More program ^_^ I've already used this program before with German and French, this was my second time using it in Italian =P I always argue with the computer since it always comes on to me, asking me if I'm pretty, young, single...*laughs* I always tell him "What would my husband say? XD" and he just changes the subject. Well, at one point the program froze on me and Carmelo (who's working in the lab with Lizardo) had to go and help me, well...for those of you that don't know; Since I started in the University last year, Carmelo has been teasing me about my height. He calls me tinkerbell, gnome, elf, dwarf, shorty, midget...yeah...'cause he knows that I'm always trying to look tall XD

At any rate, Carmelo fixes the program and I start doing the "Fill in the blanks" part of the program: Io, Il, Noi, Voi, Esse, etc...I started complaining that Carmelo messed up the program because at one point one of the excercises was: Io sono basso, mientra chi voi siete alti. I am short, while the rest of you are tall! The professor came to me because I cried a little and asked me: "Dulce mio, what's wrong?" "The computer hates me TT_TT he he...says I'm short..." "Ahhh...mala computadora! Le debo meter un puño, no? ^_^" and he patted my head!!! ^//////^ So cute and sweet!

Speaking of sweet professors, Annie was very nice and sweet with me today ^_^ something which is not really very common. Today was so much fun, she turned on the antique overhead proyector and she stared at it and said: "During the last class I saw a massive spiderweb under the mirror of the lightbulb...I guess I burned it when I turned it on o.o" so she turns (or tries to turn) the light on again and suddenly when it finally lights up, there appears a beautiful spiderweb "Oh look, it's still there. It's nice with all that detail and stuff..." and I say "Wow O_O It's beautiful" and I'm trying to see it by stretching on my seat TT_TT and she's like "I know isn't it? Come on, ven aca alfrente if you want to see it upclose ^_^" I shot up from my seat and contemplated the spiderweb and she was smiling at me ^_^ hehehe. Of course, what's Annie without a few insults? "It's amazing...how such a small animal can work to create something so beautiful while you guys..." *insert sarcastic smile here* "Let's leave it at that...we have to teach you guys to think since you won't do it for yourselves, and besides it's not like that spider has to take linguistic classes."

All in all, it was a tough but fun week ^_^ Thanks to those proffesors that manage to put a smile on my face and of course thanks to the support of my beautiful shistas ^_^ I love you all!

PS: I just realized that the last day I wrote was on the 24th ^//////^ No wonder I took my sweet time updating again ^_~ hehehe

24...the best number ever ^_^
