June 5

Today is a really bad day for me. I was so happy because, starting tomorrow, it will be my last week of school at LaGuardia! Instead, yesterday I received a letter saying that I am still missing a class in Urban Studies in order to graduate!I felt so bad...First of all, I applied for 60 credits, and 60 credits is all I needed to graduate. I do not understand what I did wrong...Did I pick a class i did not really need? I don't know, the only thing I know is that I do not want to spend the whole summer in NYC for just one class. I hope there is an explanation for all this otherwise, I believe I will just transfer to Hunter without an Associate's Degree. I am just so disappointed now.

May 30th

It's the end of May. That's unbelivable, this month seriously flied. Tomorrow is Memorial Day and instead of the beach/park or whatever else the only things I will see are:
-my couch
-my laptop
-Foe by J.M. Coetzee
-critical essays on Foe
This because I need to finish my research paper (10 pages...)by tomorrow otherwise I will never catch up with the other assignments! Help! Two more weeks and I will be so so DONE! No wait, I still need to take the CPE at the end of June...However, that's nothing compared to my PRE-CALCULUS FINAL EXAM! I got a 70/100on the last exam (bad bad bad!!) so this final will be my last chance!! Next week will be my last week of tutoring for my Italian class, while my last tutoring session for Philosophy will be exactly on the day of their final exam! I feel so responsible, I reaaly have to make sure that they understood EVERYTHING since the final will be cumulative!
I better go working on my Research Paper now...the sooner I finish it, the better!!

The past week has been kind of bad. I spent the whole week studying for my pre-calculus exam however, all this time wasn't enough. I wanted to do pretty well, but there were some exercises that I just couldn't understand. Plus, the night before the exam, I stayed up until 2 in the morning to understand an extremely hard excercise that I was sure the professor was going to give. Well, I got the problem at last, but the professor never put it on the test. I was so upset! I am always like that: I always understand the hard stuff and then, when it comes to easier things, my mind just goes blank...The professor will bring back the exams today and this waiting ruined my whole weekend! I know I still have the final to take, but I believe that my 92/100 avarage is long gone...oh well, it was too good to be true anyway to have such a high score for a math class! The thing that keeps me happy though is that in less than 3 weeks I will be done!!

May 16

Sunday is the day I hate the most in the whole week. In the morning I work, at night I study, and the worst part is that the day after is Monday!! Really, I wish it was always Friday, the only day I do not have anything going on (which is a joke, bcause I spend the whole day studying and cleaning my apartment, but at least I can stay home all day if I wish to!). Three more weeks of classes, one more week for the finals, and then that's it!! The final countdown officially started and I just can't wait...I am already thinking of to celebrate the end of my finals at LaGuardia!! Of course I don't want to make a big hing out of it since it is just my Associate's Degree and it is pretty much nothing compared to all that I still have to accomplish. However, it represents the first step and the fact that I took this step across the ocean, studying every subject in a language which is not my first language well, that is something that mekes me a little more proud and happy about this accomplishment. So lets hang in there and soon it will be time to finally celebrate!!

May 10th, 2010

Mental note to myself for the upcoming month: drink a lot of coffee and take tons of vitamins!!! Today is May 10th and in exactly one month I'll be done with all my exams and all my classes!! Basically, I'll be done with LaGuardia and move over to the next step: Hunter College!!! Oh well, I actually still have to take my CPE since in March they forgot to contact me and that is another thing to take in account together with other 2 Calculus exams, 2 essays, one research paper, and the end of my internship!! I just keep thinking "it's just one month, just one more month..." in order to prevent myself from losing my mind!
The only thing to do is stay positive...at the end, I'll be just fine!!

May 2nd

Last week finished in the best way ever since it was so sunny and so warm!! Unfortunately I had to work, but it was still nice to have the sun out and to finally put away all the winter clothings. This weather however is not good for studying...in fact, all I wanted to do was going out and enjoy my day in the park! But I have several dead lines coming up, such as a research paper for my ENG 295 class and an essay for that same class, so it would be impossible for me to stay out too long since I need my laptop, internet, nad sveral dictionaries!! Good thing is that we are -36 days to the end of classes!! Today it is raining a lot, so it won't be too hard for me to lock my self at home and do my writing...

April 23rd

The weekend is here and I am left with no energy!! The week went by fast and I had (and I still have!!) so much going on! I ended up writing four essays weekly and sometimes my mind just goes blank!! We are half-semester through and I am aware of the fact that the next six week will be extremely hard for me between due dates and exams! I am just so glad that I will graduate in June, so that I will be able to enjoy my summer with no thoughts in my mind!!
