So, my midterms are starting tomorrow. I have 5 exams before Eid, which is going to be on the 6th of November, and 4 after.
Bye bye, for now anyway.

Strong Sense of Smell
Today was just like any other day, wake up, whine about the fact that you exist, go to school by a bus filled with hyperactive monkeys (yes the kids, even though it's only 7:35, they have no problem screaming and jumping), sit in the damned class room (here, in Jordan, or my school the students are divided between 3 sections or 2, and THEY are the ones who stay in the classroom, and teachers move from class to class for each period), wait for the next 6 hours to be over, and then go home in the same bus with same but more hyperactive monkeys with much, much louder shrieking voices.
But a few things, as usual, stood out. What are you supposed to do when a teacher comes in and asks after a while: "Does anyone smell gasoline? or is it just me?" Of course, you start sniffing everything around you, including the windows, until you've experienced every smell EXCEPT gasoline. OF COURSE IT'S JUST YOU! I wouldn't elaborate on it if she had stopped asking and saying: "i still smell gasoline," i swear to god it would've been better if she'd said: "i hear voices," i don't know why, but that somehow makes more sense.
Something else, we have this thing when one girl or a group of girls do something wrong, or frowned upon, or forbidden (not religiously speaking, or even lawfully actually), the teacher has to call the principle so that she would scold the WHOLE class, no exceptions, and at the end of the whole thing she would just start staring, i would assume she would be thinking of a punishment. Seriously? I think, i just THINK, you could have figured that out on your here? Just maybe, the whole 3-floor walk from your damn office to our class.
The thing is when EVERYONE gets scolded or scorned or whatever you want to call it, and the people who had absolutely nothing to do with it tell her "why are you yelling at us????" She would just answer: "the guilty one know that it's meant for them". What if they didn't? It's not a freaking Supreme Court! What if the class was just filled with a bunch of ignorant show-offs who might have been day dreaming throughout the whole thing, and didn't catch one freaking word?
Looks like this year is going to be one hell of a show. I just want the next two years to be over, and i still have a whole half a year till senior year. Yeppee!

Lunch, 21-10-2011
Yesterday, we (me and my brothers) decided to make mini pizzas, seemed like a good idea until we realized we had no idea how to make the dough. Of course the first thought that came was just to look online, instead we decided to get it from a bakery, ready and much safer to eat than the one we might have made.
They turned out fine, the orange stuff is out own version of Margarita pizza, we just mixed whatever cheese we had, and... well... there were a lot since Ramadan (Note: never EVER let your grandfather shop in Ramadan while he's fasting, everything looks so glorious and cheap, not to mention the fact that he forgets he already has half of that stuff).
I saw the Tree of Life yesterday (i did it for Sean Penn, not Brad), at first i didn't understand one thing, i mean it was going back and forth in time, and the weird images of a small flame or light, but then i realized it was showing the galaxies, and volcanoes erupting and all that, it was pretty good.

School = Social Disconnection
I haven't been here for a very long, long, LONG, time. My last post had been on the September 16th (yes, i just checked). The reason: the first part is school, the other part is because i'm lazy, simple as that. School is the main problem really, i haven't been on tumblr for 5 freakin' days! This is called a disease, it means that something is wrong, that you probably ran into a wall just for the sake of getting a a brain injury. i really nothing that interesting to put here, but i'll put anything anyway.
So, i think last month, i made this little pouch for my external hard-drive, and apparently I've only gotten to take a picture of today, (again, lazy or just not caring anymore), and i also made these many flowers, or motifs or something, and i have absolutely NO IDEA what to do with them. i thought about making a Garland, but there was no color coordinated, or even a shape or a theme, and some of them were too big for a garland, and too small for a coaster or an oven mitt, but, then again, what the hell do i know?
Anyway, there was also a problem that i wish i didn't have. it's that moment when Google FINALLY launches an iPhone/iPod application, and you can't sign into it. REALLY? Does Google hate me that much, what did III do??? See, now, the thing isn't that it won't open or it just gets stuck, it's when you sign in, Google has to ask if you're allowing the application to use your email or something like, or to get into your Google account, when you do that (allow it, as in approve to give the permission), something else shows up tells to to copy a CODE to paste somewhere in the app, it says "copy this code, go back to to application and paste it there". WHERE exactly????? when you go "back" you get the same start up screen ([Sign In], [Sign Up]).
I eventually gave up, just convinced myself to get over the fact that the app works for other people, and not me. the thought is still irritating.
Well, that's it. oh, and also, i hate everyone in my class with a few exceptions.
