Retro's Life:

Now the summer vacation is coming to an end. No more fun times anymore, it's just time to hit the books and start to say hello to exams and quizzes. *sigh* do I love summer vacation. Who doesn't like it? I'm sure there are over a million people who love it and hate it. Well it's their choice, whether or not to like it but does that mean that we should like doing quizzes and tests. Of course not!

Oh man, this is one of the saddest days in history, since the summer vacation is coming to an end. Why do all good things come to an end? By this coming Sunday, it's time to say hello to the new semester of college/university and start suffering.

Are You Busy?

Yes I have never been so busy in my life until now. I swear to God, these are one of the busiest days of my life. Well let's see, I had a math midterm yesterday and I think it went well. This Calculus Midterm is supposed to be a midterm that has things like "solve the following equation" or "find the limit of 5X-5/X when the Lim of X is 5" well guess what. That was mostly a lie. The calculus quiz that I had was more like a definition exam rather than a solving exam. At least 70% of the paper was just answer the questions, 10% of the paper was write your name and 20% of the paper was solve a few questions that makes about 100% of the paper. So expect to get a 100% as your grade. Wrong, we're talking about calculus here. Expect at least a grade of D or even less. There is a 0.0001% chance in getting a B grade in this subject. But it is pretty funny sometimes but it's a burden on people's heads.

Now getting back to how my life has been so busy. Man there is not enough time in the week to finish everything and there is NO time to even breathe this week all thanks to these F***ing midterms. This is a burden on my head. With all these crazy assignments that we're getting from the professors and these stupid midterms taking up a lot of our time. There is NO time to do anything. Unfortunately I have to stay awake till God knows what time until I finish doing my design project (which is due tomorrow) and I have to finish the remaining part of my freaking biology and get this, I'm having a big huge headache all at once. I just can't concentrate anymore. I've been studying since 4PM till 7:30PM then I took a break and then I continued from 8:30PM until now. Imagine this my brothers are having more fun than me. One of them is having midterms but he's lucky he only has the easy exams left and my big brother has nothing to do but chill until the end of time. My mom was busy talking on the phone with some of her friends. Why does everybody get to have fun except C.U.D. students. I heard that even students at A.U.D are on vacation at the moment. They are enjoying their Spring Vacation while the rest of us are just killing ourselves with these bloody exams. 

I believe the Minsitry has nothing to do other than just torture us. They don't think we're human beings. So I think they must believe that all the students are robots because we have nothing better to do other than studying. The main reason why I think that they are like that is because they have nothing better to do and they must also believe that we (students) have no feelings.

So I guess they are enjoying the wonderful weather we are having in Dubai while the rest of the us are being treated as robots :(

I wish that there was a long set of holidays and the ministry would say "Enjoy your 1 week vacation and go ahead and enjoy this wonderful weather that we're having at the moment. Try and enjoy it before it gets too hot until you can't breathe!".

Also Expect a major update as of this Thursday because I will be posting some new posts as well as a different template. Well there is going to be some changes around here. There will be an announcement made tomorrow night about the blog update. I will be closing the blog for a few hours. When I say closing the blog I mean I'll be giving only a few people access to it the rest of you won't be able to view it until the blog has been modified.

My Midterm Schedule:

Say It Isn't So:

stress is being entered into our lives again!

Oh No, don't tell me that it's here. I don't want to hear that it's here. No, somebody please pinch me I must be having a bad nightmare. The MIDTERMS are here :(    : (     :(     :(

Man this is so unfair, the weather just started to get better and there is one thing that is spoiling it is these f**king midterms. Come on the ministry of education is going nuts. No wonder the roads are empty through out the weekends because everyone is stuck at home suffering*.

Well my exams are hopefully going to be finished on Thursday. I'll post my schedule on the next post.

* Note: the word suffering is a replacement word for study. I'm sorry but I hate the word study.

Also you would have noticed that I've changed the template of my blog. This is a temporary template, it will be here until the midterms are over. Then it's back to the blue template :)

Midterm Awareness Week:

As you can see that the Midterms for most of schools & universities are going to be starting really soon. All what I can say is that people have already started getting stressed out & some of them are worried about them. Oh well these are the breaks. If you feel like you're going crazy because of the midterm awareness issue then go ahead and press the imaginary Panic Button :P

Also I would like to inform you that I will not be posting a lot starting from Sunday the 15th of March since I will be in the middle of midterms. 

Final Exams = Stress

This is how the typical student is nowadays :P

This book is meant for everyone who is stressed out!

My Final Exams have just started and I am so nervous. With all this stress around here, what am I suppose to do? I try to ignore it but it's hard. I want to procrastinate but I can't because these f***ing exams are in the middle of the way. Also to make things worse, one of my best friends just had surgery - Don't ask. And I have to go see him but I can't see him today because of my stupid exams. So far I just finished one exam and my next exam is at 3:30PM. I will now be posting my exam schedule on my blog.

Announcement:

The site will be updated every few days but as of today. Dido week will be postponed till next Sunday on the 19th of October 2008. The reason is that this week I'm going to be having a few problems blogging because I have to study for my big test on Psychology on Tuesday the 14th of October 2008. So I won't really be online that much and also I discovered something new on MSN. XTR you already know about it. But on Wednesday, I will be so busy in classes till God knows what time!
I wish it was the weekend again!!!!!
Don't we all wish that?

Trying to survive the day

Oh God, today I had such a long day. Let me tell you what happened. I woke up at 9AM (since my classes began from 2PM - 7:30) and I did my boring homework (ugh). Then at around 11Am I had my breakfast (I had some cereal only) then at 12:45 (I had my lunch meat stew) then at 1:20 I left the house and went to class. The English teacher was babbling something about organizing your paragraphs and all that crap. Then after that she announced the "Homework".
And she said 'I want you to solve the following pages 101, 102, 103, then I want you to write a sentence for each of the following things. I DON'T want you to write me an essay on this. Understand?". Then after that I went home for 2 hours because my class ended at 3:30PM so what was I going to do. So I went home and listened to Dido - Grafton Street again :) and I did some other things (like dealing with nature). Then I went back to class and boy, did I enjoy the traffic -_____-
The traffic was SO bad. Imagine this there was traffic on Al Wasel Road all because everyone was looking at the tow truck tow somebody's car away. LOL :0P
Then I reported it no "Non Virgin Radio" and the guy asked me what's my name and I was like blah blah blah, then he was like do you have ANY song you want me to play for you? and I was like yeah, sure why not. Let me listen to any song by Britney Spears (because I know Virgin is too gay to play Dido) and they said yeah OK. We got a new song by Britney Spears. It's called "Womanizer". LOL and I was like "woo hoo" (I didn't sound so excited) and the guy was like you don't sound very excited (DUH) and I was like no I'm just tired (which is true) but I can manage.

So then after that I arrived to the university (at exactly 6:00PM) and what did I do, I went to class. Dealt with the work then I went home and NOW I'm blogging and listening to "My love" Dido - GRAFTON STREET!!!!!
I seriously can't stop listening to it. I swear it's so amazing. The song, the lyrics and beat to it is really good. Dido if you're reading this YOU ROCK :D

I really wish that Dido would view my blog then I would be like so happy and all that :D
but enough la la land chat. It's time to get back to reality.

Oh yeah I tried singing Dido - Grafton Street Listen to me sing
"....No more trips to grafton street, no more going back....and no more standing quietly at your window..... AND TIME WE ALWAYS LOSE IS FINALLY FOUND HERE WITH YOU....MY LOVE I KNOW WE'RE LOSING BUT I WILL STOP NEAR BY YOU..................I'll do my best to come....no more lalalalalalala la la la lalalalalalalalalalalalal and no more saying Good Bye for the last time again LALALALALALALAAAAAAALAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAALAAAAAAAAAAAAA!

How's my singing?

Current Status: In Class

I am now sitting in class, doing nothing but surfing the internet. Since the class did not even start :P
My class schedule is pretty crazy sometimes. Like for instance: Sundays and Tuesday I have classes till abut 5:30 on normal days but when it comes to Mondays & Wendesdays it's from 2:00PM- 9:30PM. Thats like a lot of hours, don't you think?
Well my class starts like in half an hour, so I will be surfing the internet till then. After that I will go to my next (& last) class (Thank God :P ). Then I will go to the supermarket & get some things for the house. Then go home and chill. Oh yeah and do my home work !

Exciting yet Nervous: part 1

OMG I am so nervous in exactly 20 minutes I have to go to my university for the orientation day, Oh God I am so nervous, what am I supposed to do there? The people I meet, will I be able to make friends? Oh man, I am so nervous. I got to calm down........STILL NERVOUS.......Better try and be myself when I go there. Try not to make a scene. Oh lord have mercy. I got to chill.....but not too much. What am I doing here blogging when I should be going. The thing is at 11AM lol its 10:12AM hehehehe lolz
Well anyways Yalla let me go. I will blog about the next part soon. Part 2 coming up.

Life is really hard to follow when...

Life is really hard to follow when you get your grades back. I just received my grades in a specific subject AND I am really UPSET! I spent 3 hours just solving and solving the same questions and I got the worst mark of my life. This mark is totally inappropriate. I wish I got a better grade but I got a lousy low mark. so thats it I hate my life! I feel like I've been cursed or something. And I guess its true what they say about studying a lot. I have studied a lot for that quiz and I still did bad so then the formula for that is:

STUDY=FAIL

I'm not blaming the teacher for this at all so (Teacher please do not get offended by this post). This formula is true and it does exist. This formula goes to each subject except religion subjects I guess.
