Finally OVER! Ola, people! I am back and I have missed my poor, ignored little blog, but I’ve been away on my sacred mountain trip. And when I say sacred, I don’t mean anything even remotely related to religion, ewww. But as I’m sure you know (if you’ve read “memoirs-of-2009-part-2-part-b” you should know), one of my life’s main plans is to start an annual tradition which consists of heading for my favourite mountain resort the day after finals. Well, that’s what I did, details about that coming soon (next post).

Finally back after yet another epic exam, another mythical trial, another wasted weekend. Last week I couldn’t even act like a god over my blog and do admin stuff (I am still new with it, but I wanna add some upgrades, though I will probably ask Peter Steel to help me, his brain is slightly more capable of technical stuff), because apparently, I was no longer eligible for my god damned paid Internet! Yeah, don’t tell me about the unplugging and the replugging of the modem. I did that, probably 10 times. I restarted my poor comp until I thought it would grow hands and slap me. After bitching about it all day to my mum, I finally convinced her to call the stupid Internet provider and make a scandal on my behalf. The reason why I didn’t call? I called the last 100 times the net failed to magically bless my computer with a view upon the exterior world, and I got nothing relevant, and the net just came back eventually. But I did, however, get the annoying question, set on repeat: “Do you have an antivirus?” Oh my God, if I hear that question one more time, I will bite a piece out of my modem, go to one of the main offices in my town and spit it on a desk. Maybe then I would get quality service! But anyway, apparently, there was a huge meltdown or something and it lasted for 48 hours! After that, the net came back, but hey! Am I the only one who sees a problem in all this? I do not live in New York (unfortunately), I do not live in Paris (unfortunately, again). I live in a small town in a small country, and there are 400.000 people here, in total. I don’t see how it should take 48 hours to fix a Internet breakdown. It is beyond me, but apparently, I shouldn’t be so shocked, because one of my friends recently told me that she had to live 2 days without any electricity because of some local power outage. Yeah, in the 21st god damned century! So I guess having Internet is truly a luxury.

The joy I am feeling right now cannot be understood by just anyone. Veterans who returns from the war, having survived physically and mentally, might come close to understanding. I just found out that I passed the first exam of this series of finals, and believe me, it was like World War 3. It was hardcore, rough all the way to the bone marrow. And that 5 I took is more than enough to cause me this extreme euphoria. After rocking to “Back in Black” all night, probably freaking out my neighbours (the ones who weren’t already terrified after hearing me scream like a maniac when I found out I passed), I fell asleep feeling good about myself. Never mind the second exam I took yesterday and which I epicly failed. There were stressing circumstances involved.

Gods of above and below! Yesterday I took the first exam of this semester’s finals! Needless to say it was probably the hardest exam of this series of finals, and probably somewhere in the top 5 of heart-stoppers school has blessed me with through the ages. I am optimistic about it, in my opinion, I so deserve to pass! Seriously, I kind of achieved my goals with this one! After one week of doing nothing but preparing for this exam, I think I’ve earned the right to pass. Pleeeeeaase! Please, pass me! For the love of humanity…and just like that, the score changes: Educational System: 1.000.000+1 – Me: 0.

One of the articles I wrote about college and finals. I am rather proud of it. It has an optimistic tone and I believe it holds a lot of truth and sincerity. Enjoy and comment if you’ve had similar experiences.

2009 was the biggest year of my life. Not that it lasted any longer. Strangely, it was also the shortest. A little confused? So was I when I realized that despite the fact that 2009 held the most relevant happenings in my existence, it faded away so fast, I was completely overthrown. Sad how one appreciates the beauty of things the second immediately following their passing.
