Whew! What a couple of weeks! The worst is that at least the next one looks as bad as the previous two ¬¬.

I’ve been extremely busy with college. As you know, I’m taking 7 subjects plus thesis plus social service plus scholarship service. So yeah, I’m busy and overwhelmed 90% of my time.

First homework. Like seriously, everyone left me a lot of homework to do, as if they just got together and decided to screw us with homework on the same week. What’s the deal with that? (BTW, it’s also my fault for not being organized at all and leaving everything for last minute).

Then exams. I’ve been having my first partials for like the last 3 weeks (in my college we have first partial, second partial and finals). I’m not doing very good T_T. That’s really bad, I really don’t want my average (GPA) to suffer. I have two other exams and some other programs to make. I’m having so much trouble with programming lately.

Finally, thesis. We spent the last week preparing the document and getting everything ready. On Tuesday, we had our presentation and evaluation. We did good but we could have done better. Still we got an awesome grade and some observations to make our software better.

Yesterday was Día OV at college. It’s the day where high school students come over and they get to have a glimpse of what the majors have to offer and they get to talk to us and just get a feel of what it will be like when they get to college. Originally, I was going to go early to attend a Drupal workshop and study for my exam but in the end I was staff and got a bunch of cool stuff XD. It was fun, Alekz gave a lecture and a workshop and we got free 4GB USBs. I also ate a lot of sushi, the best Mexicanized sushi ever!!! It was surimi, cucumber and cream cheese with chipotle. It is called Acapulco and oh so goood!!

I also got a bit of eBay addiction. I started small, just buying silicone cases for Eric (my iPod Touch) and Jasper (my BlackJack II) then I started buying dresses and hoodies and am on the lookout for the perfect leather/liquid leggings. I’m still missing the leggings but I’ve made a dent on my savings which is not good at all T_T. I’m trying to control myself but with things THAT cheap and free shipping, it’s very hard :/.

I’ve also become addicted to iPhone/iPod Touch Apps. I haven’t bought many (just two: Emoji and Knights both for $20 MXN), but I really like Apps from my favourite websites and social networkng sites like: MySpace, Facebook, Twitter, Tumblr, LiveJournal, Style.com, WhoWhatWear and so on.

Here are some sites that I think really need iPhone Apps or at least mobile versions of their websites. Mainly because they are blocked at college and I can’t see them on my cell phone:

• CollegeFashion.net
• SeaofShoes.com
• NubbyTwiglet.com
• QueenGilda.com

Well, the others just left my mind but those four are the ones that I frequent the most. I want to make and iPhone App for Hot Mess (just to see if I can) but I like the MacBook to make it. Maybe if I use VirtualBox and Mac OS… I’ll have to look into it.

I’m going now. I’m studying ACLs and VLANs while watching the Sortilegio finale, then Love Actually and bed.

P.S.: I hate that the eBay App is not available on the Mexico App Store ¬¬.
