How do you feel right now?

[Giba7]

well it's nice to be optimistic but good to have low expectations!! and then you're pleasantly surprised more often!!

But try to remember that you got a "pocket full of rainbows and a sky to put them in so blue" (Soul Education) haha! It sounds corny as hell but it makes me happy. Jay is good with metaphors

oh and I'm all better!

First time i buy Adidas (and brand shoes for a looong time ago). First time i really care about my shoes. I still the same and it still only shoes made by an Indian child but... there's something magical in, now i understand the fascination that Jay have for the threes-stripes brand

[Giba7]

nice shoes

And now i feel like if France will go far at World Cup to be stolen by Brazil and Referees at the end of the competition..

[caroli]

I feel very very very tired of studying and I need vacations right away...

[Giba7]

@Caroli -are you almost done?
Take a break! Go to the beach!

[caroli]

Well, the regular exams are over but now I have two special ones by the end of the month.. I am planning on doing a combination of beach and books (the B-B plan!) but these exams are very important and I can't fail them, so in top of this I am NERVOUS! hard life.. civil engineering better be worth it!

[MissLisa_since1999]

omg, exams at the end of July! Why are those exams so important? (more than the others?)
But hey, it's ok, you've always had awesome grades, why would you fail now!... Good luuuuck veteran!

[caroli]

Thank you! These exams are very important because these subjects are the hardest and the most important for the future...If I fail now I have to repeat everything next year and seriously, no one deserves that

[MissLisa_since1999]

Aaaw Portuguese university is tough!

[caroli]

I believe any engineering university is tough

[MissLisa_since1999]

Yep sure, but they could give you a second chance...!

[caroli]

No need of that! I nailed both exams and I'm now FREEEEEEEE! Got my degree, heading for the masters!

How do I feel right now?

GREAT!!!!

I have been a vegetarian since November 2010, and I recently made the transition to becoming a vegan over the weekend of July 10th...and I almost immediately felt 100% better!! One of the things that vegetarians tend to over compensate on is dairy and carbs. Well, I'm pretty convinced that one of the reasons I feel so much better is because I kicked the dairy. And there are really a TON of places (stores and restaurants) that cater to vegans. My favorites stores here in the states are...

Whole Foods
Trader Joes
Sprouts
Fresh & Easy

Anyway, that is how I am feeling right now!

[Giba7]

I missed it -@Caroli that is fantastic! you are a graduate?
and your'e going straight for your Master's? Best way to do it! Congratulations!
so what type of engineering is your goal? the only kind we have here in the D are car engineers!

@Erin -good for you! that is challenging but I'm sure it's healthier.
I have given up meat or dairy, but not all at once!

[caroli]

Civil Engineering - buildings, bridges and tunnels!

[cacouna]

Sad and terrible because I have lost my loving aunt. I have quit lots of things to be with her till the D day...even this site, which I rarely visited. Now that she's gone...I feel so empty. Taking care of her during the past months with love...was extraordinary....spent good times. I have never felt so much love and suffering. How could this be, how can we feel love, happiness and suffering at the same time...but the LOVE I felt was stronger than anything else...

[joliefille]

Dear cacouna -

I am sorry for your loss. It is the cycle of life; please be happy that you were there with her in those last moments and try to remember that perhaps she is at peace now instead of struggling to live. I lost my dad a year ago after a long battle with cancer; I was devastated, depressed, beyond hurt - a raw, painful hurt - as if my heart was just ripped out of me. However, I know this sounds corny but Jami's "Never Gonna Be Another" helped me heal and realize that my Dad was finally at peace and it made me appreciate and be so grateful for the time he had here. The special moments with my family and me. How my amazing, talented, really brilliant Dad - who is no longer suffering - made so many positive contributions to the world and impacted people's lives.

Lastly, he taught me this quote: "Think of all of the beauty still left around you and be happy." - Anne Frank

(I know it is not the best Jami song but for some reason it kept me from just crying at random times uncontrollably in the car and gave me a sense of calm and peace about his death. I finally came to terms with it.)

[Giba7]

aw Cacouna, I'm so sorry for your loss.
you gave of yourself, and you'll always appreciate that.
She showed you love, and I do believe she is still around you.
I'm sorry Joliefille -I didn't realize it was only a year since you've lost your dad.

we need to grieve and music is the best way to express it.

[Giba7]

what is it with public bathrooms and me?
I was changing with the door locked.
someone outside had jiggled the red "occupied" sign to green, and the door popped open.

how would that sign say "occupied" if it was unoccupied?
idiots
