Happy New Year #2022 Noisers! ๐Ÿฅ‚ Yesterday afternoon I improvised my own single karaoke until my mom kicked me out of her speakers to put a New Year's conference before dinner.๐Ÿ˜‚ Then I sat on the computer to chat and to spend time with my friends. And after midnight, I didn't want to go to sleep, so I watched "Matrix: Resurrections". I ended up sleeping at 3:00am and waking up at 7:00am. And I'm not tired... yet. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚ Nevermind, not that I have much to do today. The entireโ€ฆ

I'm fixing my schedule with all my subjects, courses and activities. It is not finished yet. It's a little hard to figure it out, because some professors tend to change the hours or the days on the first week (or even in the middle of the semester) based on the needs of each student. It drives me crazy sometimes, but it is also a privilege we have for being the smallest department in the faculty; hopefully each class has between 1 and 5 students enrolled. When I arrived atโ€ฆ

That little ball was too slippery! It fell and I was like "Uh-Oh-... Frozen, Sand, FROZEN!".๐Ÿ˜‚ We were looking for the ball several minutes with no success. Bryan wasโ€ฆ

Today was my first training day of 2022. Almost all the machines were occupied, so it was just a soft routine. Luckily, I did the warm-up at home. I think people have started to work on their New Year's resolutions. Nevermind, they will quit by february and I'll have all the space for me again. ๐Ÿ˜‚ I'm joking, I wish all of them to realize their goals. I'll just have to get earlier. And now it's time to keep coding. I got my favorite snack. It is peanut butter filled chocolateโ€ฆ

Hello, noisers! I come with some bad news today. When I was jogging this afternoon, a little piece of something went into my eye. It doesn't come out neither using water nor my own finger. So, my mother talked to an Ophthalmologist we know from Twitter. He's always nice and willing to help people. And he works in a close city. I sent him all the information and pictures he asked for and... Well, I gotta go to the hospital emergency room first time tomorrow so they can removeโ€ฆ

@AlmostSand

I couldn't get to the hospital today because of transport. I knew this could happen because it's Sunday; there are no buses and the ATM's are out of cash. I wrote to Dr. Law and he says I can go tomorrow as long as it doesn't hurt. I just have to keep using the drops. I asked if I could go to a local hospital, but it seems that the lamp and the equipment necessary to remove it, it is only available at that hospital. It doesn't hurt, I thought I wouldn't be able to sleep lastโ€ฆ

@AlmostSand

Mission accomplished! I went to the hospital today. The object has been removed. The best part is: No one had to touch my eye! At least not by using any kind of tweezers. It was a funny scene: I got to the reception to get on the list, and the doctor who put me on the list, a young female resident named Nixa, was the same doctor who treated me. She poured some drops into my eye and then looked at it through the optical instrument (I forgot the name) โ€”"Ok, the object it'sโ€ฆ

A new semester has begun and my phone and inbox noticed it. ๐Ÿ˜‚ Since I woke up this morning I haven't stopped receiving emails, messages and calls from my professors, classmates, senpais and kลhais... Sending and asking for names, phone numbers, email addresses, manuals, study guides and slides... The only thing missing is my senpai, calling to ask if I'm really going to Caracas to get that Pokemon milkshake. ๐Ÿ˜‚ It's not the usual mess, but it means more students were able toโ€ฆ

This week really got me tired. College, my mom's computer monitor getting broke... Now I found out that my AVIRA antivirus is adding programs without my authorization (it added Google Drive Desktop App yesterday when it updated). I'll have to change it. I'm thinking of AVG antivirus... Maybe? What do you recommend that is not invasive? I already tried Panda. May you leave your suggestions here while I write a post that isn't a complaint. ๐Ÿ˜‚

@AlmostSand

The harvest has begun. The hills have been burning all these days, there is a lot of smoke around and soot falling everywhere in the town, so I'm being extra cautious with my eyes. I got these safety glasses to go jogging and I use my mask almost all the journey. I have to sweep the house more times a day than normal. This is just a sample of what I took yesterday from the backyard. I guess these are the cons of living in a town surrounded by sugarcane plantations. Even whenโ€ฆ

@AlmostSand

Thank you all of you who have answered to my Antivirus post. I'm trying the AVG, and if it doesn't work, I'll try with Avast and Kaspersky.๐Ÿก Also, I have reached 250 subscribers and #LingoNoise has reached 23 subscribers!

Today my cartography professor congratulated me for bringing some interesting information to the class. "I am glad to know that you read about it and already know the applications of the subject"โ€”, he said. Well, considering my mother was the Cartography General Manager a few years ago, I feel like I'm almost bound to know about it. But if only he knew how much I hated that stuff when I was in High school. ๐Ÿ˜‚ Geography, to be more specific. I remember that each class, we hadโ€ฆ

Finally Friday! I never thought I would be so tired after the second week. Some professors are trying new modalities, so basically, I'm having tests every week, instead of every 3 weeks as it was usual. And I'm not the only one going crazy, my mom's SIM card suddendly stopped working for no apparent reason and there are no available SIM cards in the Service Provider office.

23:56. It's almost monday here. Hope you all had a good weekend. And I wanna thank to those who sent me kind words yesterday. I really appreciate it. I'm feeling better today, more quiet. Did you know that black coffee without sugar helps you heal when you're sad? I found that out two years ago, it's very effective, I would like to know why.

How are you, guys? I'm thinking about how to skip class next Thursday at 6:00 p.m to attend a course that, coincidentally, has a lot to do with that subject. It's a free class that will no longer be available after that day. But I can't ask my professor to suspend the class because we already lost one last week because of an internet failure. And I don't want we end up having a content delay because of me. ๐Ÿค” I wish I could attend both classes at the same time. I needโ€ฆ

You're not gonna believe how lucky and unlucky I was today at the same time. ๐Ÿ˜‚ Professor V cancelled our Cartography class this morning, so I was able to attend the ArcGIS Masterclass as I told you I wanted. BUT, the Masterclass was also cancelled TEN MINUTES before its start because the speaker got sick. He had a sore throat. So, the Masterclass is going to be rescheduled. I hope they pick a day that I have free. In other news: I bought these cookies and I thought theโ€ฆ

Today was a quiet day. I had an extra class to compensate the one it was cancelled. After that I went to a new store and bought some flour to make pizza; I also saw cereal, cookies and something called "Moodtella" that were cheaper there. I can't wait to comeback there and buy everything that has chocolate on it. ๐Ÿคค I also could finish a Database SQL course that I had paused for a few months.

I was wondering why is it so hard to meet new people?

Before all this quarantine, at least I could talk to people I saw almost everyday at college or in the bus... But now... Even with my friends, it's hard to have a whole conversation.
