[/b]And Beatles' box set too. Hehehe. I couldn't resist. I always whine about the lack of space in my place and so on, but I keep buying some stuff I really shouldn't. But I didn't have any of the Beatles' albums on CD so it does justify my purchase, doesn't it?
DOESN'T IT?

I'm putting a lot of clothes, books and cds aside to donate to an institution I trust in. I want to finish that before going back to the cloister. It's been more pleasant to sleep in the cloister than at home, so messy has been this place lately. I've been gathering more stuff than I'm able to place here. There are heaps of things on my bed and I have been sleeping on a lousy old couch.
So I launched this YARA 2009-2010 plan: it's the FRUGAL YARA REFORM BILL.
You're a lover of women now! I mean, not that you weren't earlier, but now it's writen there under your name. By women you mean me, of course. "Women" as a metaphor of my overwhelming beauty - I'm like the pure Idea of Beauty which has its various manifestations in the many pretty women all over the world! ; -))))
@
Catqueen, it's not really a WOW. It's more like an "ohh!". I miss teaching. I started teaching music when I was 15 because...well, it was either that, or I wouldn't be able to afford my studies! ; -)) Now my work and my studies prevent me from resuming my teaching activities, which I enjoyed so much. I was recently engaged in a project aimed at teaching music, Portuguese and Maths in poor communities, but there has been some fighting going on between the organizers and the whole thing came to a halt. A stalemate. I hope they find a way out of it because it's such a great project, despite the fact I took part in it. ; -)) It really was, a lot of great people and some great results and experiences.
Well, there's no use crying over the split milk. Is that the idiom!? :op

i hate this semester.
and im about tb break some terrible news to my best friend, should she actually take the time to listen. all signs point to i have to tell her though...
catqueen · Member since
Oh Yara, hope you are able to teach again, judging from your posts I'd imagine you're a lovely, encouraging teacher! Hope the project works out too! And yes, you should definately have gotton the Beetles box set! :)
Joxer, feel free to ignore the personal question, but are you a butcher or something? Or did you just happen to be defrosting a lot of meat when you posted? :) It definately sounds more... interesting... then going to a gym, although you may have more work explaining it to the neighbours!

just seen the first Rocky movie too many times than is probably right to..
if you've seen it then you will recognise my references to the meat on the hooks and the chicken chasing,although Vince McMahon did it better for his 1999 Royal Rumble training ;-]
*hums Rocky theme and gets back on his rowing machine for another workout*
edit:
dont have to worry about the neighbours,to say we are all a bit 'wonky' in this house is an under-statement lol
[the house has been converted into 4 flats/apartments and we all are a bit 'earthy' and 'tree huggy' in our approach to things] ;-]

TREE HUGGY. Hahaha. I actually wrote a message on a piece of paper and glued it on the trunk of a tree which stands on the yard just behind the building where I study. It said: "Hugs for free". I even drew an emoticon-like face to make sure no one would take it too seriously. I got punished by the administration. ; -)) I'm one of the best students when it comes to scores and so on, but probably the second or third most-punished too. ; -)) Hehe. But this was such a silly punishment. Wasn't it?

Precisely.
Enjoy this sort of thing while it lasts... It's a journey, make it a fun/hard-working one.
I hate it when people complain about their days at College. I've picked the course I've always wanted to do. Why the fuck would I go round complaining about it? If people don't like their course, then LEAVE IT. No point in suffering and wasting time, right?
I don't really want to be at College in 20 years time or something. By then I should be at some kind of peak in the career I plan to work hard and become. So these years are vital and important. It prepares you for the "real world".
I know SO many people who've told me their stories about wanting to study and it was TOO LATE. I'm definitely not making the same mistake as they did.
....
I love my weekends too though!!!!! ;)

i complain, because im doing something i know i dont want to do. its not that simple just to "leave it". we have to take courses that are required by the state- half of which have nothing to do with our actual degree. but in order to get the degree, you have to take the classes you dont want. i think its a silly concept but they try to make people 'well rounded students'....all fine and well, but if they dont care about it, whats the point? maybe people like me would be more focused if we got to do the classes that were more into what we want to learn!
i wish there was more classes i wanted to take. some have been pleasent surprises- ethics, philosophy, forensic psych...those were all fun! but i havent really enjoyed my classes, since its not so much following what i want anymore. like all my literature classes? i never wanted to do them, but in order to suffice my major, i have to take them. believe me, i wish i could leave them. but im so close to being done, i cant! it would be stupid of me to quit now.
maybe the other countries are lucky and are allowed to 'build their degree' as what jessie was saying.
i like my college, its a good college. the campus is lovely, and calm. if i never went to college- i wouldve never seen europe!
its the actual academia i have never been cut out for. and some people just arent! but unfortunatly, society tells you you have to have that expensive piece of paper to get you places in life- even though i see plenty of talented people be pushed aside because they dont have that stupid piece of paper- yet they were lucky enough to be born with the talent. is the US the only place with this problem? i didnt feel that so much in europe!
im just hoping im able to find a job that i will be happy with using my language skills- at least to pay the bills until i can really do what i want.

Yay, i found out today I'm finally back to college at the end of this week! This whole working-and-studying thing is hectic, but I can;t wait to get back. (Hehe, watch this space, in about a month i'll be bemaoning the homework! I love the actual classes, and i do find the reading interesting, but after working all day it is a little disheartening to come home and have to study. And I might as well switch my voicemail to 'i am not available. I would love to go to your house/out/swimming/or whatever you are doing, I am studying'. I'm sure my friends think i just hate them!)
Joxer, thank you for clearing that up! I have never seen any of the Rocky movies, although i have heard about them... so i know they are uniquivically the best, most amazing and wonderful films ever made (next to the Godfather, that is). :) And I'm so glad treehuggers still exist en masse somewhere, they're pretty rare in my neck of the woods! Although I have a friend who spent a lot of time in Cornwall in her teens and she's a total hippy, I love her to bits! And Yara, i hope they left the sign up, surely it's only effect would have been to make people smile?!
