What I'll be listening to this whole month

Why can't I just accept that having my cat bathing on my desk while I'm studying is completely normal?

Slap in the face

Hello!! This has been a quite busy week and today I'm so exausted that I can't do anything other than blogging and sleeping.

College has been even more challenging than I expected it to be. I've never been much of a social person and now I belong to a class of 60 lovely, caring people, not to mention a whole family of hundreds of Biological Engineering students. It's really new to me, but I'm loving it. I really have to dedicate a post to my new relationship with people... but not today, sorry!

On what comes to tests and evaluation, things get a bit worse. I know from the beggining that I should aim as high as possible - and I'm also aware that I am far from perfection. I knew I wouldn't be the best from the first day to the last, but I did not expect things to be THIS bad. I may be overeacting (I don't think so, but it is possible, I admit it), but this first test (Algebra, last Tuesday) made me realize how hard I have to work to get to where I want to be. Just another thing college taught me...

What about writing a letter to your future self?

If you have never tried this, you really should: http://www.futureme.org/

It's so weird to place your present self before a future self you don't know, and realizing how you expect it to be... You certainly want to be skinnier, to have better marks, to have a nice job, or something else... Will you really be like that?
And what will your future self think of your present self?
Weird... but interesting.

College: first week review

Looking back to who I was a week ago and who I am now, I can only say :O

This first week was something I had never experienced before. My feet sank on disgusting mud, I screamed until my voice was gone and I wore the same t-shirt 5 days in a row. I feel like a man now.

Of course this first week of college was disgusting, unpleasant and tough. But it was also the funniest and the most instructive I've ever had in my life - and I really mean it. In five days I was taught that sometimes priorities change and it no longer matters if you're sweating like a horse; and that nothing is ever too tough for you to do it. As long as you want it, you can always go a little further: scream a little louder, run a little faster or try a little harder. Always.

Deep Breath

Hello, hello...

A lot happened these last days and I'm not sure if I even know where to start... Well, I guess I would have to say this before anything else:

YEAH, I'M IN!!

GET READY, BIOLOGICAL ENGINEERING...

I'm sooo excited, I have no idea of what's going to happen now! I'm in, okay, but that's only the beginning. Now I'm going to a place where I'm no longer an high-school teen... just when I started to learn how to be an high-school teen. I suppose it means I'm ready (and I do feel ready) but, still, it's somewhat scary. I don't know how students are, how teachers are, how I'm supposed to be, to study, to work... Definitely scary. But, on the other hand... it's a fresh start!!! New people, new challenges, new everything. New me, I guess. I love fresh starts and I'm sure I'll love this one even more.

Now, before going to college and developing into a new and better self, I would really like to finish some of the things I've been trying to do all my Summer holidays - and, guess what... I have no time! I had three months and, nine days before college starts, I remembered I have no time left. Summer holidays are always the same... So, now more than ever, I'll be so stressed that I'll finally be able to do in a couple of days what I couldn't do in three months (three months!!). I don't know if it works the same way with you, but there are some things I can only do under pressure. Free time makes people lazy :P

Did you know...

... Muse's lovely song "Bliss" actually refers to a theory Matthew Bellamy has about the evolution of mankind into a man/machine hybrid?

Yup. I'm surprised as well. Bliss is one of my favorite songs by Muse (love the beginning!) and it sounds definitely adorable. However, according to an article NME Magazine published, including an interview with the band, the song refers to a Matthew Bellamy's belief that mankind will evolve into a man/machine hybrid and that it will be possible to download personalities into your own, therefore obtaining "all the peace and joy" in someone's mind.

Lovely, isn't it?

P.S - Love his hair in the video clip. Stunning!
