Dearly Devoted Rubie

Coco had been struggling for the last couple of months. First the electrical system, then the escape tube and lately the suspension. On Sunday, I decided that today I would take my car to the service shop to have as much of it fixed as possible.

It all started with a nice washing and greasing, which solved the suspension issues. I guess that something got stuck in one of the shocks and the Karcher finally brought it off. The greasing removed a lot of the noises Coco was making and actually improved the driving.

While waiting for the service guys to finish, we went across the street to have a quote on a board for my back speakers, which were falling from their former support. As the price was reasonable I decided to buy it at once. They had to manufacture it specially for my car so while they were at it and when service was done, Fili and I took Coco to have the escape tube fixed.

It turned out that it was a little loose and had a couple of leaks, so seizing the opportunity I chose to buy a new Miller exhaust, although I wanted a Magnaflow. While at it, my head started hurting for the third time this week. On Sunday I had a very bad headache but today's wasn't that bad.

Well, in the end the car got a lot of things done that it actually needed, but there's some stuff left, like a problem with the speed gauge and the battery charger, but well see about that next week. It has been really hard for me to wake up to go to school at seven, but again: I asked for it.

My classes haven't been that bad, specially Cisco 3. Today I found out that I don't remember a lot of things I should remember about networking, subnetting for instance. I'll try to catch up with that soon.

Tomorrow I'm expecting to go to the Indautor with Carlitos to have the new songs of the band registered so we can start publishing them online, and we're getting ready to record with our new member whose brother is a sound engineer.

Right now I'm so tired, my head still hurts a bit and my eyes are really sore. I think I'm just too tired.

I have actually been here since 7:15, programming under Linux. I can't beLIEve that I actually got up on time. Well, actually I didn't sleep much, just about half an hour. Right now I'm at Data Bases II, just after Distributive Operating Systems. If it weren't for Linux, I'd probably had fallen asleep. I'm taking this time to post because the Oracle service is down and we have to wait until IT restore it.

I don't know what I'll do later today, but I have to take Coco for tire alignment and maybe later I'll get some sleep. What can I say of the Zoo-TV screening?? I was excited, just like I was at PopMart and Vertigo. We got to Dada X when the concert was starting and seeing it with fans made it even better than the real thing.

I remember the last time I had classes on Saturdays, it was last year, this same term. I made an habit of partying on Fridays and not showing up to class, or just coming for roll call.Last night I didn't get much sleep, insomnia got the best of me again.

Insomnia is characterized by an inability to sleep and/or to be incapable of remaining asleep for a reasonable period. Insomniacs typically complain of being unable to close their eyes or "rest their mind" for more than a few minutes at a time. Both organic and nonorganic insomnia constitute a sleep disorder.

Gotta go, Oracle service is up now. Today I'm suppposed to learn how to use SQL Loader.

I have taken this subject about a hundred times. Each time I've either failed it or quit. Tomorrow I have the 3rd test I have the right to take, if I fail it I'll get kicked out of sk00l, at least from the ISC mayor. I'm so nervous and I don't know what else to do.

I keep finding Pau's letters everywhere... i don't know how to feel about that. I'm just too emotional right now. I wish the world ended today, then everything will come to the point it's supposed to be. I said I'll wait until the end of the world, everyone is having a good time, except me, I'm still talking about the end of the world... I'm acting like it was the end of the world.

BTW, that's a U2 song from my favourite album: Achtung Baby! Do yourselves a favor and get a copy. Achtung Baby! also contains what is felt to be our song: Ultraviolet (light my way).

I gotta go, have to finish copying nonsense from my notebook hoping it'll be worth a point in the test.

I'm so sick of my sk00l, I'm so sick of Math and subjects that won't be useful in my future life. I have to finish sk00l though, even if I'm doing it in a slower pace than I should. I have learned more working and on my own than that I had been thaught at sk00l, except maybe for Java and some other stuff like Quality, but the rest...

I once had a web design class, and I knew more than the teacher, the same goes for Linux. I don't know what I'm doing here. I have this feeling of just running away, go home and forget all about today. But guess what, I still have to wait 2 hours to take a test. I'm not learning, I'm just going through subjects getting grades to pass.

I just hope...

When I stared this term, I knew I was going to take the most hedious classes of all. I don't really like electronics even though I'm studying computer systems. I just wanted to say that I'm finding those classes quite interesting. I just hope to do ok and that this feeling will last all term.

I'm also commited in doing all my homework asignments and practice reports, this would be the first time in years!

I'm finiding Operating Systems II (Linux) quite boring because we aren't actually learning Linux, OS I was far more interesting because the l33t teacher showed us AWK, Grep and GCC (although I'm not as good in C as I'm in Java). Last term I failed Prolog, but I'm not taking is this term in order to catch up with earlier subjects I hasn't taken (Dispositivos electronicos, Analisis de circuitos electricos y Analisis de Sistemas y Señales). Then I can focus on Prolog, Assembler and Electronics I.
