Huuuge post!!
This week was so busy I can’t even begin to tell you. So I’m going to try my best at documenting some stuff that happened ok?
It all started on Tuesday (Monday was a national holiday, so no school!!), I woke up at an ungodly hour to be able to go to a conference about Flash for iPhone at UIA. Now, UIA is really not tat far away from my college but the traffic to get there is just CRAZY!! We ended up arriving at 9:30 instead of 9 because of that.
Shana Pol and I on Javi’s car.
The conference was good. It was directed at designers so we did snicker at some programming things because they are not THAT hard for us. It was fun n_n. On our way back Shana Pol and I rode with V (our programming evangelist / professor / buddy), then I changed my clothes for our projects presentation and went to class.
Once in class, I didn’t pay much attention. I always get nervous before thesis presentation, and this one was a big one. So yeah… after that I met up with the Mecatronics and we hung out while the other teams finished their presentations (we were second). After a while we started getting really nervous so Alekz, L and I went upstairs to wait for our turn and in the meantime PC, Chuy and Chon were presenting. They were asked to step out after their presentation to be graded and PC was feeling awful. Poor thing :(. We talked a bit, he’s soo cute, even when he’s sick.
It was our turn and we did awesome! The presentation went by in a jiffy and we totally aced it! I was really happy n_n. The Mecatronics aced too and Jerry and I got crêpes to celebrate! I had soo much fun with them :D.
The day was not over for me… I still had to sit my Information Security practical. I was in the team with Alekz and Shana Pol. Five hours later we finished, printed everything and our Professor told us that it al seemed good. I really hope it is good because that little exam is 30% of our final grade.
On Wednesday I went to school at my usual hour (9 am). I ended up in a traffic jam which made me very late. I barely made it into the classroom when Javi tells me: “We have oral exam now!”. Oral exam? I didn’t even study! My notes are complete crap and I barely know the subject that we are studying!! Oh God! Oh God! Javi went in first and I was madly reviewing my notes (the few ones that I have), then it was my turn. The professor asked me very easy questions and the ones I had wrong he took as right because “you don’t study telecommunications”. I got an A on that as well n_n. What a relief!
On my next class I did a little presentation and left early because I had to go to a congress at the Military School of Engineers (Escuela Militar de Ingenieros). We went along with V and Carmen, they were going to give lectures and Alekz and I were tech support XDD, which means that we passed slides and showed some demos.
That place is impressive. This is te ceiling of the room the conferences were given:
It is blurry because I have a very unsteady hand :P.
The room was huge and the militia were incredibly well behaved and made interesting questions. Before we went in to help, they fed us a very lovely meal in the most elegant dinning room ever! It all was very beautiful and the food was delicious. We had lunch with the sub-director of the School and some other important looking people.
The lectures were really good, we had some technical issues but nothing major. At the end, we were approached by the students (it was AWESOME), who asked a lot of questions about our projects. I really didn’t know how to answer a lot of them but it felt really great. It literally made me feel on top of the world.
Oh yeah!
Alekz and I at the hall the conference was held at.
Outside!
Waving flag!

I don’t remember much of it because it all has been a blur. This week made me realize that I’m doing something that is worthwhile and that I really am on the right path to… something. I don’t know it all has been so exciting, but still I want this to end and maybe sleep for three days.

Fue una semana realmente intesa, hasta para mí que no llevo proyectos! al menos todo salió muy bien y ya tenemos de claificación en sistema 10 en seguridad y en el práctico ya tenemos 10 también, así que sin el final ya tenemos 8!!! Me hubiera gustado acompañarlos a lo de los militares pero el examen de buendía no me dejó :(

Estuvo muy chido el día de los militares, hay que regresar el año siguiente xD

No se porque pero esa última foto me hizo viajar através del universo y todo fue claro para mi y…..definitivamente podrías ser Cyclops y tal vez sea por eso que me dan miedo esos evil shining eyes XD.
Wooow! Te sentiste bien rockstar eso es bien chido. Yo a lo más que llego es que a mis compañeritos de clase se les dificulte algo y me pidan ayuda, nada tan pro como enseñarles proyectos a unos militares.
Lo de dormir por tres días suena muuuuy bien
