Weekly Update #8: Meh

I guess I am back with this blog because I have to, and I don't want to disappoint Miss K.

Not feeling good, but here's what we saw last week:

What I learned last week in SMRT 140

• Nuclear Energy
• Extreme Quiz of Animal Farm
• The Old Man and the Sea
• Unit 8

Remember I was complaining about how we had to make an essay about nuclear energy and how I was dreading the fact that I had to present, well it happened.

We kept seeing this topic and we did the essay (which turned out to be a lot more than 500 words), and it wasn't that bad. At first I thought it was going to be a boring topic and that I was not going to like it at all; however, I feel like we learned a lot from it. Nuclear energy is not that bad, sure it has its ups and downs, but it is a grat source of energy that can satisfy a lot of people.

A bad thingfrom this presentation was that it got very repetitive, but still, I found it very fun and interesting, plus we got to see me have a breakdown so, you're welcome (sorry about that).

We also had to make an extreme quiz of animal farm last week. IT WAS OF 64 QUESTIONS WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAT?!!!??!¡ Some questions were really specific and I had to look at the story several times. However, the story was really good and I enjoyed it a lot. 10/10 would read again.

Now that we are talking about reading and stuff, we also had to read the first part of the "short" story The Old Man and the Sea. So far I am liking it alot. It is about an old fisherman in Cuba, that has had a bad luck streak and that is not planning on extending it, so he goes one more time and has spend, until now, 3 days on his boat trying to catch a fish. 

I feel really sad about the old man, and how he is trying not to give up. I am looing forward into finishing it and finding out how the story will end. Please don't let the old man die. :(

On friday we started Unit 8, with deforestation. We couldn't finish the activity but it seems like a nice and not so boring topic, so I am not complaining about it ... yet.

The word of the week is:

Livestock

Thanks for reading, and sorry for my breakdown. I love you.

Weekly Update #3: I give up

Hey! It's me again, complaining about my stupid life full of stress and disappointment. How's your life going?

I know you might be thinking "omg this chick is doing her work at last minute as everything in her life again". Well, let me tell you that I am doing this early today (currently 5:27 pm on a Sunday) because I am avoiding other responsibilities as the procrastinator queen that I am. So jokes on you HA!

Anyways, this week we saw the following:

What I learned last week in SMRT 140

Here's a list for you to know what I am going to complain about, enjoy:

• Not so mysterious topic anymore
• Note Taking
• Story about a very stupid man
• Abbreviations 
• Quiz (a.k.a torture)

You read  my mind! Chinese and Western medicine! AGAIN!? We are sooooo not totally done with this topic. I love it, I live for it, it gives me purpose in my life and makes me want to smash my computer everytime I see it on my screen. I really love this.

Leaving the sarcasm behind, we are just reading and listening to the same stuff and doing exercises about them. 

P.S. YES WE ARE STILL SEEING THE GENERAL AND THESIS STATEMENT OKAY?

I know this may sound weird of me, to say something positive, but I think I am actually enjoying note taking. I find it challenging to try and understand what the person in the audio is saying, while I am also trying to write down everything that I am listening to. I think it is refresing.

However, I cannot write about a topic without complaining about somehting, am I riiiiight?

What's with the topics they choose though? Mechanical motors? Really? That's the best you've got. C'mon SMRT staff, I know you can do better.

Here's a 100% real gif of me in SMRT class:

Imagine you are in an extremely cold place with your dog, would you kill it? WELL THIS STUPID MAN I AM GOING TO TALK WOULD AND I HATE HIM FOR THAT.

Okay, so as you may kow my now, we have to read a "short" story every week because I don't know, they want us to suffer. Anyways, this week we read a story called "To build a fire", and it stressed me out.

First of all, I didn't have time to finish reading it, so I was all stressed reading it on recess before SMRT class, so I could send the classwork on time. Second of all, THIS MAN WAS SERIOUSLY SO STUPID!

The story was about a man who wanted to see "the boys" and had to go somewhere but the weather was terrible. It was like a million dregrees below zero, but he had no common sense and still wanted to go. He also had de audacity to take his poor dog with him, to help him, but he treated it like CRAP! AND I WAS ANNOYED. In the end ****************** SPOILER ALERT ******************* he dies. 

I am starting to think they are just choosing very tragic stories where everybody dies, make your bets for next week's short story.

In note taking we also saw abbreviations. It stressed me out because I take more time trying to use the symbols they want me to insted of JUST WRITING NORMALLY.

That's it, I don't want to talk about this anymore because I get stressed and my anxiety and stress levels are on their full potential right now. Here's a pic of my fav flower being 2 KUL 4 SKUL:

We made another quiz, it was all grammar and I didn't remeber anything tbh (abbreviations *wink*). I still tried my best because Ms. Karitza still has faith in my, even though I am done.

Here's an appreciation gif my the most beautiful teacher ever who has to listen (and now read) about my complaints everyday. I am sorry and I luv you a lot.

I am also sorry for the quality of my blog, it wasn't as good as the last two, I AM GOING TROUGH A MENTAL BREAKDOWN, and I  feel very tired and stuff. sorry

This week's vocabulary word is:

DEPRESSED

Thank you for reading, you are a staAAAaar!
