{May 9, 2009}   Relay @ UMBC

……..one of the things I miss ever since I got to the US is just taking the time to take a walk and just think and reflect a bit and things that have been going on in my life.

So the relay for Cancer Awareness on Friday night was perfect. I had planned to study physics that night but couldn’t study more than two hours and I was dead beat but I didn’t wanna sleep. So I headed to the Retriever Activity Center where we had groups who signed up to relay the whole night until 7am.

It was actually more of walking instead of jogging but we had poker game, basketball, volley ball and tents and music all night. The Office of Student Life had volunteers lined up to walk every hour so I joined my boss’s team and after playing some volley ball I started walking.

Thought a lot of things through……what went wrong this semester…..how next semester is going to go…….you name it and before I knew it it was 3:00am. I needed to go to bed —–> I headed to my dorm.

It was a really pretty night and I thought it was weird that the birds were chripping like it was morning at 3:00am ……But it was fun ………NOTE TO SELF…..to do relay for life next year together with a group of friends…..that  would be so awesome.



when I was little I used to watch this show about the life of this girl named Oshene, and there was this part when her brother is leaving her(or dying I don’t recall correctly) and then she says ‘Oh Brother ….., I cry for you……please don’t die and leave me here’……..but ya……so that is kinda how I feel about Physics right now. I did wayyyyyyy past terrrible on my exam on Monday and I thought sice I had done so well in the past that it would defnitely help. But …….NO……and that is how low down I went that I can’t even sustain the damage and now in order to get an A in this class I need to get 93 % minimum on the final ………and The FINAL is comprehensive and on the same day I have a chemistry exam that is also comprehensive of two semesters and …………welll………..I am a dead person…….I don’t know how I’m gonna pull this off…..I scared and stressed as hell………

Took a breath calmly……..and I only have one choice ……I give it all I got and just pray to God it works out well int he end. And if not …..I guess it becomes a lesson learned for the future.

WISH ME LUCK!



{May 3, 2009}   Metamorphosis

Against all the odds in the world …like my physics exam on Monday, my english presentation on Monday, my english essay due Monday and my computer science project …………..I went to see a theater ‘Metamorphosis’ that has been showing for two weeks at the theater in on campus and yesterday was the last day and …………I had plans to go and watch it with my friend for more than a week ago.

The show was scheduled to start at 8 but around 7:30 I started to have doubts about going………I kept wondering if I should study or if I should go……..? ……….and so I started wishing that my friend wouldn’t show up so that I can make him a reason for my not going. But he was on his way……..so there it was settled I had to get up and go.

But it was so ooooooo…………. cool …….sooooo cool and the performers were outstanding and I was so surprised when I saw their profiles out side of the theater and I read that they are students at UMBC. It was 90 minutes long and I was smiling the whole time because their whole setting, their acting and their stories were really well thought out and organized and some were even really funny but everything they showed was very interesting and everything was really good and I was really amazed. Me and my friend were beyond words …… we didn’t expect it to be this good and it was just awesome. The organizers should be so proud of themselves.

~~~~~~~~~~~I ‘m still mesmerized and some of the scenes actually play in my head.

Getting back from that and staying up till 5am to finish studying Physics was totally worth it!



It is 3:40 am in the morning and I am still struggling with mastering physics online assignment!………

I am running out of patience, I have been sitting here for the past 3 hours and I only got to do 3 questions………. it’s getting on my nerve      !!!!!uhhhhhhh…….

Here is the thing, finals is in fifteen days and I have a presentation next monday, an essay due on monday as well and a physics exam  and then next friday I have my chemistry exam and then I have my computer science project and I have to study for all my finals ………especially chemistry because I have to study both last semester’s and this semester’s chapters…..ahhhhh……….Okay I need to calm down.
