Thing #3: Mediocre products

Right, I have a strange mixture of feelings. Yesterday, I saw a woman I hadn’t seen in ages. It was a very strange moment, but indeed it made me smile. I crossed a really bad period of my life with her, so I have special feelings for her. It’s that, and the fact that I once threw her a tequila. Her blouse absorbed it so well, that the scent remained in it for a long time. Really, I’ll never forget a lot of things I lived with her.

But also… I’m mad. My lap’s display started to show a big purple spot. Without a reason, it just broke apart. When it happened, I thought I had made something stupid. Now I know that HP manufactures (100%) of the displays in China. I know that the world is full of fuckin’ chinese shit, but common… What happened to quality?

A couple of hours ago, I packaged my lap in a box which will get to Guadalajara tomorrow. It’s supposed that it will be back in 10-15 days, which I certaintly hope is true. It has just been 2 hours and I already miss it. I can’t use the external drive on the computer I’m using right now, I don’t have full control of it, and it’s painfully slow…

I feel caged. As if I were paying a sentence. A sentence for buying something made by a motherfuckin’ chinese. Divine justice. It’s not like I had another choice anyway…

Thing #2: The ’stupidness’ of ’stupid’ people

I’ve just seen something awesome. It amazes me what people are ready to do in order to get an extra 0.01. I have a class named Organizational Computing, we learn about different numerical systems, numerical representations and the subject will end with Assembly language. Honestly it’s quite boring, but I really like the teacher and it’s the only class where that I take this semester with my friends from systems engineering.

We get evaluated in many ways, one of those is an evaluation-stupidness system, which is worth 10/100. I hate it so much. I asked the teacher at the beggining of the semester, but it looks like that’s the way the whole subject is evaluated, not only by her, but by everyone. Shame on the whole department. Looks like they don’t know that there are better ways to evaluate a student out there.

Anyway, the fact is that every class happens exactly the same. The teacher sets a couple of examples to be solved by us, and then gives participations points to the first ten people. So, everyone hurries and finishes before she even says that anything. A second later, a large quantity of people starts slamming all over the way to the desk. Yes, that’s right. SLAMMING THEIR WAY. Fuck, that makes me mad.

At the beggining of this term, I thought that I had to do the same thing. Later, I found out that I had my participation points from the last three classes, making it enough to get half of the participation total. I made a mediocre 69 on the exam, which by the way, was higher than anyone in my row.

Why reduce again to basic instincts?? It seems as filthy flies, flying over to trash. It’s incredible the speed that the desk becomes overloaded. Quite stupid. i’ll just take enough participations as the last time.

After all, only one of my friends was higher than me. By a fuckin’ shameless 0.1. Is it really worth it?? Common. We’re not animals. We’re not supossed to play dumb. It was funny the first time. Now, it’s just disguting.

**UPDATE** I absolutely love that teacher. I mean, she’s completely out of the standards I have of a teacher. Even though, I wouldn’t like to be in her shoes. The last class, she forced all the little flies to sit and solve a second pair of exercises, before turning them in. Smart move.

I forgot to write something. There’s a blonde ‘LATI’ girl in that class. I had a great laugh when I realized that she formed up before finishing to solve the exercises. Just like the bastards at any gubernamental building. They don’t even know what they have to do, but they are already in line.

It had to be a LATI. I mean, it had to be blonde. Sorry…

The 10,000 things I hate

Commonly, when I’m speaking with someone and something stupid or ugly comes out, I usually say “That’s one of the 35 K things I wouldn’t do/I don’t like/I really hate. One of the last days on high school, I was sitting in front of the basketball court with my friends. Fuck, those days are long gone… It has been less than a year and our lifes have changed completely.

Anyway, the point is that we were calmly speaking without disturbing anyone (Sure thing…) when an extremely ugly woman poped out from nowhere. By the way, she was a good friend of a girlfriend from that time.

She sat in a table in front, with her back towards us. Somehow, we all turned and saw her underwear comming out of her pants. It was awful. Sabrina, the girlfriend of a guy which drank too much RedBull XD said it was “graphic violence”. As usual, I said: “That is one of the 35,000 things I don’t want to see in my life”. I

n that moment, my idea of making up my list was born. I decided to carve a list from stupid things that happened to me. I wrote a short list, but I left it one day in another girlfriend’s house… So it kind of dissaperead.

Last night, I was thinking on stupid things that I had done. That list appeared out of the blue into my mind. I thought that it was a funny idea, or at least it was for me, so I decided it was time to do it. As 35 K is quite a large number, I’m decided to reduce it to 10K. I’ll fill it slowly, perhaps it will be filled before I turn 30…

Perhaps it won’t and I’ll say that not being consistent is one of the 10K things I hate. Heaven knows. Chuck Norris must surely know.
