My first class is at the Business School and it was with freshmen. I was the “oldest” (I mean oldest in the context that they are in their first year while I’m leaving this December), the girl sitting next to me was really nice and we got along nicely, my teacher looked scary at first but I hear that she is super nice. The class itself sounds really boring but I can bear with it :D.

After that, I made my way to the Lab, said hi to my peeps and my professors, we shared some jokes and then I went to class. This class is my favourite of the semester, it is called Programming for Mobile Devices and I’m super happy with it. We are only 3 people in the class (my friends C, H and myself), the mood is super laid back and I’m really excited about the subject, plus our professor is cool and knows loads about it. I’m excited to program in Java again.

Class ended and I went to get tea with R, we have different classes at the lab (there are 3 simultaneous classes in the different rooms we have available) and we agreed to get tea so that he could tell me about his trip to Israel, Syria, Jordan and Greece. We talked until I had to go back home where I passed out and slept until it was time to go back to college.

Just so you know, I’m a super lucky girl because I only go to college Mondays and Wednesdays :DDD. I had two other classes that were so boring, I want to erase them from my mind. I just need to mention that my boots did save my feet from getting all wet on Monday :D.

This is what I wore on Tuesday (my final schedule was defined on Tuesday night):

Yup, heavily post-processed cell phone pic :D.

• Stripped grey top from H&M
• Turquoise cardigan from H&M
• Skinny jeans from Pull and Bear
• Pink chuck Taylors from Converse
• “don” necklace from Arely
• Grey headband stolen from my sister

On my nails I’m wearing violet/magenta nail polish from Bissu:

Believe it or not this heavily processed image portrays how the nailpolish looks IRL, not like the pictures on my nail polish post do

Make up was:

• Concealer
• Mineral powder foundation
• Pink Guerlain lipstick
• Soft gray mineral eyeshadow
• MAC mascara

Wow, this post processing makes me look incredibly white. My skin is more like light caramel, so my foundation has a lot of yellow undertones to keep it looking even. Also, I love hot pink lipstick :D.

Just for fun this is how I’m wearing my toenails:

Sky blue (barely noticeable) on the left and Maxwell Studio purple on the right.

And a close up of my Converse shoes, they are my favourite pair!

I got my feet wet yesterday because I decided to wear my gladiator sandals and it hailed at school (when I got there it was sunny, hence why I decided to leave my boots at the car). The parking lot got flooded and I drive for an hour and half to get home. I hate the rain! It makes everything more chaotic traffic-wise, and the roads get full of holes and stuff.

I’m going to do a post about my post-processing experiments and reveal the secrets behind this pictures (all taken with my Samsung Jack).

Once I get the hang of my school routine (waking up at 5 to make it in time for 7 am class is not my thing anymore), I’ll get back to blogging as often as I usually do.

Kisses,

Julie.

Ok, enough of my tantrums u_u. I’m getting ready for flooded roads, rain induced traffic and my school flooding so my mum bought me some rain boot (wellies) today.

They are so cool!

Steve Madden rain boots

They were $899 MXN which is about $70 USD. I really like them, they’re nice to look at, comfortable and match most of my wardrobe :D. Now I don’t have to worry if the school gets flooded (I can leave them in the car and go get them as soon as it starts raining or something :P).

Here is a random picture of a salad and one of Maximus

Grapes, lettuce, pear, kiwi, tomatoes and some random dressing

Happy Weekend everyone!

Kisses,

Julie.

I did this one out of a whim and damn, I wish I could wear something like that IF we get to have a graduation party:

Dream Prom by JulietteMaxwell featuring Paris Hilton shoes

You can hover over the image for product information, isn’t that like super cool?

Damn, I want those shoes. I saw them at our local Sears and they are $1,500 MXN. Too expensive for me right now, but summer sales are not over yet and maybe with a good discount…

For some reason or another, I can’t make this image centered like I usually have my images. It’s driving me crazy! I guess that after dealing with HTML and CSS all day for the last couple of days, I might have developed a tick or something. You know, when your eye twitches because something is not working out as it should… yeah I’m like that right this instant.

I’m thinking of maybe starting to write my posts in both English and Spanish, like in StyleScrapbook.com. I’m still undecided because I rant a lot and I DO hate translating with all my soul, but it seems that some people might benefit from it. It would also help me improve my Spanish writing skills (which are super awful, I’ve always considered my writing to be better in English than in Spanish). So here’s a nifty little poll, please vote on it and we’ll see what happens next:

So yeah, I have nothing else to say for now. Have a nice Thursday!

Kisses,

Julie.

Product Information

Ok, after fighting with the HTML on the Polyvore image, this is what I want:

• 2 pairs of shoes, some wegdes and rainboots (my school gets so flooded when it rains, it’s crazy)
• A gray summer dress
• Lipgloss (my favourite is Beauty Rush by Victoria’s Secret)
• Platinum eyeshadow (I have my eyes set on Tiara by Sugarpill)
• Ray Ban Wayfarers (I have knock offs, but I want the real deal)
• A gray leather jacket
• Studio Ghibli goodies: Howl’s Moving Castle + Princess Mononoke + PONYO + Spirited Away
• Also: House of Many Ways (Howl’s moving Castle sequel)
• A pint of lemon sorbet (the one in the picture is mint, but  couldn’t find lemon ice cream that I liked)

There’s another part to the wish list, I couldn’t fit everything there, becuase there are too many things. Yep, they are geeky and techy things, what did you expect? XDD

I think that my selection is pretty weird considering that I really don’t like, nor wear, florals. Still I love how they style their blazers and super tiny skirts. I sometimes wonder if those girls step out wearing no pants. I like shorts and short skirts but I like to keep myself with enough coverage and not flash anyone by accident. Also, I really hate the non prescription glasses ¬¬.

Do you like LOOKBOOK.nu? Is it too hipster for you?

Kisses,

Julie.

P.D.: the photos link to the original LOOKBOOK.nu post.

So Daddy took my sister and I to one of the biggest malls here in Mexico City (Santa Fe mall) and I bought some ballet flats that area so boring I didn’t feel like photographing and these:

Mary Janes! They look green-ish in the pictures but they’re actually gray. The heel is not very high and I can actually walk on them, the best part is that my foot stay inside the shoe because of the strap!

I also think that I found the perfect way to take shoe pictures XDD.

I have to go do homework now.

So here are some looks I’ve done on Looklet and some sets I’ve made in Polyvore:

Soft n Sweet by JulietteMaxwell featuring Tory Burch shoes

Meeting with a client by JulietteMaxwell featuring Emanuel Ungaro jackets

Party Sequins by JulietteMaxwell featuring FOSSIL watches

So, how you’ve all been?

You have to press a key twice to write

Anyways, as predicted, the bad weather ended on Friday. Oh yeah, after a most terrible rain on Thursday, Friday was full of clear skies and sunshine see?

That little white thing-y is the moon at 9 am on Friday

Now this is what I call a nice Mexican Winter. Cold in the morning, hot during the day and cold at night again. Of course loads of sunshine (enough to make me grunt and whine but I love it!).

You know what I seriously dislike?

I really don’t like it when the professor says that they’re going to send info for the homework and send it late. I mean, if they want the homework done on time (in this case Friday night), then they should send the info before that and not late (like Saturday night). At least it was easy and fast to do, but still, it really irks me to end ¬¬.

My sister arrived really mad on Thursday, my mum told me that it was because her phone had broken down and being the “nice” sister that I am went to ask her about it (you know, see if I can help or at least Google the help) and she yelled at me. I just backed the hell off and let her be. The next day, my mum gave me her cell and after trying a lot of stuff, I had to format it to get it to work (it’s a Windows Mobile phone, I haven’t had that problem with mine). She wasn’t grateful but at least she wasn’t yelling anymore. Meh, I’ll never understand her moods.

Maximus is so cute :3

And I have proof! Here:

Here he is spying on the neighbors, in case they are doing dodgy things

Here is sulking about me taking pictures of him (he doesn’t like pictures and he was moving a lot)

This is his “I just woke up” face

Getting ready to be chased around the backyard So cute :3

Oh yeah, I’m totally one of THOSE dog people.

Tomorrow is Monday and I don’t have class until 4pm, be jealous! XD

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!

  CrazyEyes!Julie running around snapping pics.

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.

I think that I’ve got it easy though. My thesis is in teams of three and I have to say that my team pretty much rocks. We all work and we all pay our part of everything. Yeah, we have our little fights but what team doesn’t fight once in a while? On our next stage of the project, we got our spiders to move, multiply and increase in size! It’s awesome! I wish you could all see it but right now everything is kind of secret and a bit tangled up.

I recently did a presentation on ITIL. It was boring as hell and I didn’t get a thing. The professor interrupted us a lot because he had to explain what we had to explain. It was a complete disaster… I did get a bit by the end but overall it was a total train wreck. To make matters worse C and I were teamed up with this guy that just thinks out of this world. I bet he’s an Aquarius :P, Aquarius have that kind of out of this world thinking thing. He really does get on my nerves… *shudder shudder*.

The brother, C, R and I have to make an online store as our final project for our e-commerce class. The deadline is in two weeks time and yes, I’m freaking out… a lot. I trust the boys but I really get anxious about deadlines. I seriously need to stop obsessing so much about time. I mean, it’s good to be punctual but it’s not good when you yell at your friends because of a deadline. That is not cool at all :/ and, yes, I’m guilty of doing that.

On Monday I got to use Alekz’ big-ass laptop. I like it but not all the time. I mean the huuuge screen is cool and everything but I don’t know, it’s too big for me. I’d like that big of a screen on a desktop. For laptops I’m totally fine with my 14.5 inch screen. But movies in his laptop pfff, they look A-W-E-S-O-M-E.

Yesterday I had an OCD attack. I had just come back from college (it was like 5:30 pm) and I looked around my room and saw my desk, my couch and my desk full of stuff. I had to clean! So I put all my clothes away (unorganized, that is going to be another episode) and got a trash bag and threw away all the papers and wrappings that I didn’t need anymore. It took me like 3 hours to clan everything (I kept getting distracted) and when I was almost finished with the desk… I noticed a lot of dust on it. I wanted to go downstairs for cleaning supplies but my dog was asleep and he’s a very light sleeper and putting him to bed again, no thanks. So I made do with I had, which was a rag and alcohol. I cleaned it up a bit. Today, I woke up and got my cleaning solution and scrubbed my desk clean, yes, it felt much better that way n_n.

Talking about yesterday, when I was running around having a complete freak out, I saw amplifiers and microphones set up outside the lab. Then I saw Jerry and Teddy Bear carrying equipment and I went to ask them what was up. It turns out that they were going to play as the closing for the Mecatronic something. They were really good and Jerry rocked out! Teddy Bear almost passed out because of his nerves but he sang just fine. Abi was recording everything and I was really excited about the whole thing. It was totally worth it spending 2 more hours at school just to see them play.

So next week:

• Projects Second Presentation
• iPhone workshop
• Military congress
• Apache Web Server Presentation
• Second NPP partial
• Practical Final for CCNA Security

Oh yeah, coffee is my best friend now.

I’ve been getting really into Glee. I love it! Have you seen it? Who is your favourite? On that same note, what’s your favourite TV show?
