Cutie Patoties
I know I should be listening in my accounting class but I have gone to a crash course and earlier I went to the accounting class of another teacher (who seems to be better). so now I'm pretty much exhausted and don't want to listen in class. WELL technically I am listening, its just I'm not listening very well. Usually I sit in the front of the class, but today, I'm in the last row with my friend, Miss N (she won't be named to hide her identity) since she isn't listening in class either. A while ago; she was reading comics(?) on her iphone and now she is studying her crash course book. How exciting.
So the above, is a picture of two dogs I found on facebook. HAHA I would laugh if one day someone goes on my blog and says..wtf...why are the pictures of my dog on my fb. Okay, that is probably unlikely but LET A GIRL DREAM. OKAY! ... Sorry If i don't make sense because yesterday, I refused to go to bed until I finish chapter 8+9 for economic statistics. I did it, but as a result, I am beyond exhausted. A part of me just wants to lay my head on the table and sleep, but I know I can't do that so to stay awake, I am currently writing this blog post.
I know this post sucks, but have some consideration for poor little mingo. She suffers. Suffers studying for exams.
(now miss N is playing fruit ninja on Miss M's ipad. .... so obvious lol)
Man, University is tough. I'll go back to listening in class. GOOD BYE!
Study hard and good luck!

What's romantic to you?
A gust of excitement rushes through my veins as if the mere touch sent electrifying sensations throughout my body. What a grandiose feeling I say to myself. I need to know why it is so.
Ok, I was exaggerating there. Too much coffee? I think so.
But in all honesty, I was taken aback because let me tell you, this book was not seen for so long I thought it was gone by now. Apparently, it was sitting there because my father just doesn't believe in using an online dictionary. What a fool, I say.
Anyway, yesterday (or today at midnight), I was just browsing through the pages and I land on this particular 'word'.
Leander. Now, what kind of word is that, you may ask yourself. Well I posed myself the same question and here's what I got.
Le•an•der [li'ændƏr] n. Greek legend. a lover who swam the Hellespont to visit his sweetheart, Hero, every night until he finally drowned. See also HERO.
and so I proceeded to also see HERO.
He•ro ['hirou] n. Greek mythology. a priestess of Aphrodite, whose lover Leander swam the Hellespont every night to visit her. One night he drowned, and on learning of his death, Hero killed herself.
And there I was mouth agape, asking myself if this was legit. Is this romance for you? Is this, in the slightest, romantic, to you? If you ask me, my answer would be a flat no. I think it's stupid. I think it's damn stupid. And crazy. And creepy.
This love seemed more like an obsession and it's something I would not want to experience. Ever.
You want to email me? You want to text me? Call me? See me?
Fine. Just as long as you don't swim a body of water and drown while doing so.
That's where I draw the line thanks.

HATE
There are two things that are getting on my nerves
1) How blogspot makes you do some.. human verification when I write a comment on a person's blog ( makes me NOT want to comment on people's blog)
2) Twitter...always fails.. like It never works..I hate seeing that stupid fail whale
But you know what makes me laugh?

Time Flies
Wow, time really flies. I find October didn't go by very fast but november is like..flashing before my eyes ( I know it's still early november, but I just realized my individual Social Media Assignment is due..in one week..) That's not good because I only wrote one post for November thus far..and that won't be very good for me nor my grades. har har har. But Yeah. A lot of things have changed. I dyed my hair black the other day. Dear lord, I look so emo I can't even bare taking a picture of myself ( fret not..tho..u shall see the emoness probably in a later post). Sometimes though, I can't even bare looking at my hair in the mirror, I feel like I'm suddenly extremely gothic. Oh dear. Anyways, these past few days, I took some pictures but I was sooo lazy I forgot to do a post, here you go a few pictures to describe my last few days/weeks because pictures means more than a thousand words.
This is my dog..ginger..fashionably wearing a pink scarf around her neck..She was cold that day |
When I'm feeling down, I look at this and it makes me laugh..a lot |
Another picture of my dog..w/o a scarf on..pity |
This is nancy, you have seen her before, I think we were going to do the IFA post class questions |
Eileen, doing a funny face. She is cool like that |
Nancy loves her white iphone 4G( NOT S) lolz |
Eileen likes her blackberry so much she needs to show it off in her pic as well and jessica chan in the back |
I forgot..I went to swurl ( a frozen yogurt place)..sorry about it being half eaten...i pretty much suck at taking pictures before I eat food |
I think this might be another day we went to swurl (cause i love swurl alot lol) unless..It's the cup of my friend's... LOL I don't know. |
This is a blurred picture of jessica haha. we were in the..mall i think hanging around..eating pad thai ;P We like Thai express haha.. fasttt fooodd |

Halfway point changes everything (MIDTERM POST)
I got all my grades back recently and I think it has finally settled in... I can't get 90%+ in my classes anymore... or at least the chances and usefulness of that happening...is quite low (since an 85% is a 4.0 GPA)
look at this...
I asked my third year friend about the grading policy if you have a 79%... Do you get a 3.6? a 3.5? a 3.3? ....
Apparently if you have 80%, you get a 3.7...but once you get a 79%, you get a 3.3 GPA.. T__T A- to B+.... because of ONE PERCENT.... If you get 79, you might as well have gotten 75% cause you get the same grade... If you get a 90%, you might as well have gotten a 85%... Everything seems somehow..so unfair 0.0
What does this show?
I'm fighting an impossible battle T___T
I WISH THEY DIDNT ENFORCE A 65%-74.99% GAHHHHH!!!!!!! Because it kinda demotivates me for some reason... but honestly if you had to ask me what was the biggest regret of my life university life?
It's going into that stupid Honors Program.. Am i retarded? A bad GPA in an honors class is USELESS! If your GPA sucks, you're doomed because no one CARES THAT YOUR in honors if you have bad grades! WARNING FOR ALL STUDENTS IN CEGEP: TAKE BIRD COURSES :/ and bird programs
Since the honors courses are year-long, it is apparently really important to do well in the first semester because the second half of the year is a lot harder than the first half...so you need to have at least a 90% grade average to get a good/average grade for the whole year...
AM i making sense? I'm kinda tired T__T so I apologize for any nonsensical comments...
Point is, I found a video that I think is kinda...interesting..
It talks about the grading system in Mcgill. IF you're interested! Check it out
CLICK UNDERNEATH lol..I can't add it onto this blog post cause it's not even a youtube video T__T lol
MCGILL GRADES VIDEO BOO HOO
PS. sorry if you guys didnt care about anything I wrote about in this post...
look at this...
Grades | Grade Points | Numerical Scale of Marks |
---|---|---|
A | 4.0 | 85 - 100% |
A- | 3.7 | 80 - 84% |
B+ | 3.3 | 75 - 79% |
B | 3.0 | 70 - 74% |
B- | 2.7 | 65 - 69% |
C+ | 2.3 | 60 - 64% |
C | 2.0 | 55 - 59% |
D | 1.0 | 50 - 54% |
F (Fail) | 0 | 0 - 49% |
