3 days, 1 emotional rollercoaster

I've been "back" in my student life for 3 days since this week-end... And since then, I've laughed so hysterically in the library that I was in tears holding back my laugh- I was reading a book about stupid things students have written in school papers. The funniest, though, were the excuses parents wrote for their kids. And some school rules were pretty funny, too.

I've been a pain to the cafeteria about the prices. In the other university in the city, a sandwich is 1,85 euros. Here, the same sandwich is sold 2,30 euros!! It's the same organisation, it's not like it's an independant cafeteria. The prices should be the same. The lady didn't even believe me. She was so dubious that I even doubted myself, until I realized that I'm sure about the 85 cents bit, and it can't be 2,85 euros, because that's more expensive than a whole meal with a Resto U ticket. And I'm not about to pay more for a sandwich than for a whole meal, and I obviously ate sandwiches often last year. So I'm right, she's wrong.

I've been trying to plan my month of October, but it keeps getting more and more complicated, and I'm just not sure of anything anymore.

I've also figured out the social security, finally. At least I think/hope so.

As I said, I've received my scholarship, which was blissful... Especially since most students don't get their money in their account until the end of every month, and I get mine right at the start!! Some don't even start getting money until December or January... So that was a pleasant surprise.

Last night was the Agape barbecue, lots of people came :)

And let's see... I fainted on Monday...

And yesterday with Gaelle, we had a Windows/Microsoft bashing party in class lol... I think the teacher likes listening to us. While we're trying to figure out our Java together (we're supposed to work together) it's also kind of funny to listen to us, because she's constantly comparing it to C and complaining that it's not C, and I'm always complaining that we're not using Eclipse, so it doesn't pick up typos until compilation.
Fun :p

Hi Alessia- This is long, but I think you might enjoy it!
HELL EXPLAINED BY CHEMISTRY STUDENT

>
>The following is an actual question given on a University of Washington
>chemistry mid-term.
>
>The answer by one student was so "profound" that the professor shared it
>with colleagues, via the Internet, which is, of course, why we now have
>the pleasure of enjoying it as well:
>
>Bonus Question: Is Hell exothermic (gives off heat) or endothermic
>(absorbs heat)?
>
>Most of the students wrote proofs of their beliefs using Boyle's Law
>(gas cools when it expands and heats when it is compressed) or some
>variant.
>
>One student, however, wrote the following:
>
>First, we need to know how the mass of Hell is changing in time. So, we
>need to know the rate at which souls are moving into Hell and the rate
>at which they are leaving. I think that we can safely assume that once a
>soul gets to Hell, it will not leave. Therefore, no souls are leaving.
>
>As for how many souls are entering Hell, let's look at the different
>religions that exist in the world today. Most of these religions state
>that if you are not a member of their religion, you will go to Hell.
>Since there is more than one of these religions and since people do not
>belong to more than one religion, we can project that all souls go to
>Hell. With birth and death rates as they are, we can expect the number
>of souls in Hell to increase exponentially.
>
>Now, we look at the rate of change of the volume in Hell because Boyle's
>Law states that in order for the temperature and pressure in Hell to
>stay the same, the volume of Hell has to expand proportionately as souls
>are added.
>
>
>This gives two possibilities:
>
>1. If Hell is expanding at a slower rate than the rate at which souls
>enter Hell, then the temperature and pressure in Hell will increase
>until
>all Hell breaks loose.
>
>2. If Hell is expanding at a rate faster than the increase of souls in
>Hell, then the temperature and pressure will drop until Hell freezes
>over.

>If we accept the postulate given to me by Teresa during my Freshman year

>that, "It will be a cold day in Hell before I sleep with you," and take
>into account the fact that I slept with her last night, then number two
>must be true, and thus I am sure that Hell is exothermic and has already
>
>frozen over. The corollary of this theory is that since Hell has frozen
>over, it follows that it is not accepting any more souls and is,
>therefore, extinct ... leaving only Heaven, thereby proving the
>existence
