Hurdles in the life of a Chemical Engineer

Run through every hurdle life gives you and reach the finish line.

No longer a wannabe Chemical Engineer.

I've GRADUATED!!!

Thanks to my family, my mom,dad, sisters, dogs, friends and everyone else that supported me.

Best part of my commencement was that they sang "You'll Never Walk Alone". Since I'm a Liverpool fan, it is very fitting for the occasion (Too bad for non Liverpool fans~).

That said, I'm finally a Chemical Engineer. It's time to change the blog's name from "Chronicles of a Chemical Engineer wannabe" to "Hurdles in the life of a Chemical Engineer"

Still receiving calls from "senior graduation"

So since I last posted about this, they have been calling me over and over again and I've been ignoring their calls over and over again. What if it were an important call?

Well, usually they would leave me a voicemail (health centers, ISU billings, etc.). These people on the other hand, just calls and when I ignored them, they move on to the next person on their call list and try calling me again the next day.

I wonder how long they can keep this up. All I have to do is just push one button to ignore their calls.

And, if it's REALLY important, they would've called twice. So I would know when to pick up and when not to.

Aqua - Turn back time

If only I could turn back time. Do all the things I could've done.

I would if I could but I can never get back the time I lost.

It's time to graduate and move on.

Graduation :End of class

Today I attended the LAST class of my undergraduate years and possibly my life.... and I fear in the future I will have dreams like the one above.

Last day of class. Ever.

Last day I'll be having classes before I graduate...

Quantum Mech at 10-11am

I won't be having anymore 'classes'....

Nerdgasm in human sexuality?

Studying for my Human sexuality exam and getting too distracted by technology news (reading comments about 'nerdgasm'), I wonder why isn't there a term for nerdgasm; The affection humans give towards technological advancements.

Not to mention news of Japan marrying a manga character/ video game character or even inanimate objects... What does that categorize as?

Edit : Paraphilia (The general term used. I still can't find the specific term for such cases)

And, this question appeared in my final exam =.=

I wanted to answer paraphilia but I keep thinking there's another term for it. I looked around and found nothing... So I guess that's a -1 point for me...

The final dead week.

Lab Report due Friday.

Homework set for Quantum Mechanics due Monday noon next week.

Human Sexuality exam either this Thursday or Friday next week. Intend to do it this Thursday since I know by Wednesday next week I wouldn't be able to study at all....

Calls from senior gradution

It's the 3rd time, 3rd semester in a row these people have called me.

Last year I talked to them for almost 30 mins wasting my minutes. It's so hard to hang up since they're so nice. I managed to get this dude to stop calling me after ignoring enough... They even managed to get my phone number, name and address... scary... all they need is my credit card number and they'll be filthy reeech!!!

Last semester, I think the same dude called again. I told him I'm not interested. He repeated the same damn thing he mentioned the semester before. "If you can't pay $1000, how about $500, $100? $50? $25? $10, $5??"

I asked them tell me where the office is and I'll pay there. I think they wanted my credit card number or something... I told him I'm busy and hung up.

The next few days, everyday, they started calling me. I refuse to pick up their calls. I know it's their job but they won't even tell me where their office is? Sounds a little strange... and that said, I wanna say a "FUCK YOU" to ISU for releasing our student information.

So these phone calls have been going on for almost two weeks. I decided to tell them I'm not interested at all... yet he STILL tries to get me to give them "cash"....

I refused to pick up again and again and finally the calls stopped.

This semester it happens again. I got an anonymous call last night. A girl was on the other side acting all nice, asking how was my day and asking where i live and stuff.... I knew what was coming..... and I was right... it's the so called "ISU graduating seniors" people again.... I didn't want to hear anymore of this shit. I told her I was busy and she said she'll call another time.... I didn't care at that point since I know my phone number was about to be cancelled. BUT, the phone number wasn't cancelled.... so I expect to receive another call later around 6pm-ish...

I'm gonna try asking info off of her this time instead of the other way round. If I can't get any information, I'll probably give a fake number to call (867-5309), tell her it's the wrong number over and over again, or start reporting this harassment to the cops.

I'M FUCKING ANNOYED WITH THESE PHONE CALLS. STOP CALLING ME!!!

Inception Insleeption?

The past few days I'm having weird dreams.

Normal font = Reality

Italic font = Dream

I'm somehow in my old school lining up at the assembly and they told us to sit down on the floor. I sat and doze off.

*Alarm rings*

I woke up to snooze the alarm and went back to sleep.

I realized that I was dozing off and wiped the drool off my face since I was in a public place with my friends looking as well as others and teachers.

*Alarm rings again*

I woke up to snooze it.... and went back to sleep.

Somehow I ended up in the classroom. I then realized that this is a dream. I screamed out in my dream, "This is a dream. It's another nightmare of me returning to school."

Obviously no one believed me in my dream... but it didn't occur to me to materialize stuff while I could. Instead I kept telling myself "Wake up!! Stop dreaming!!!".

I ran outside the classroom trying to exit the school compound...while flailing my hands around and running towards the exit like a lunatic. After all I knew it was a dream. Who cares what happens or what others think of my actions. I bumped into my Maths teacher Mr. How and he directed me to meet a professor who is a chemical-bio engineer in his office. That's when I totally played into the dream. I forgot that I was dreaming and talked to the professor like I was still in college and about to graduate....

Feels weird how your mind wanders while you're in a dream. One moment you knew you're in a dream, the next you just play into the situation your mind sets for you.

Cake?

I've speculating on whether to post this sooner, later, or never... but decided to publish this now since all of a sudden I'm craving for cake.

Recalling back in 2006 or 2005....

I had to buy my own birthday cake and light it up myself...

This year.... no cake.

Though I did eat someone else's birthday cake and ate a cake for dessert... I don't think it counts...

It finally happened. A birthday where I never had any cake or candles to blow since the day I was born.

Note :This post was made on 22nd Nov 2010 set to publish exactly 3 months from now.

It's okay. Cakes aren't everything...

So there's my emo rant. Now if any one actually reads my blog and feels pity. I request a BlackForest cake. Thanks in advance
