Studying for chemistry and still some of us haven't finished biology's assignments

[aollerv-blog]

Before I go, I wanted to talk about something I'm passionatr about... clothing, specially this type of tshirts and urban wear. Letter to my parents: Many people think like the following "people buying these type of tshirts are crazy, and just like to waste money" these people after they say that will probably go spend money on something they adore and thad makes them happy, and even some rich people buy some stupid painting for millions of dollars. Let me explain, this isn't a tshirt for me, it's so much more than that, as those millionaires see those paintings as art I see this too as art and I know the backstory to the tshirts, so when I say I want the tshirt, I'm not buying an overpriced tshirt, I'm buying a piece of art, from a culture I love and also I'm getting a piece of art with a meaning, with a backstory so when I wear it, i feel cooler, because I bought a tshirt that didn't just make me look cooler, it also added to the things I want to say with my clothes, that you don't get it, isn't a reason to call it stupid. - Alejandro

The Art of Loving

This is the book we started reading today in Spanish class. It is written by  psychoanalyst and social philosopher Erich Fromm and published in 1956. So far, i´ve only read like 8 pages but im liking it. ´´ It wants to convince the reader that all his attempts for love are bound to fail´´ Says Erich in the introduction, when i read this i knew what the book was going to go on about in the first few. We are bound to ´´fail´´ in love because we have a misconception of what love is, this idea created by romanticism that says we are going to find someone special and that we are going to marry them and live a happy life with them, that we just have to accept how they are without any critic, that they are perfect just the way they are. This is the failure Fromm talks about, failure because you are most likely never going to find someone that is ´´the one´´ and that is just going to connect with you in a spiritual way. Nowadays  we want to think of love as finding someone perfect just as they are.

 This is something that is said a lot of the times in arguments between lovers: ‘If you loved me, you wouldn’t try to change me.’

Today is the day that I'm so happy but also I have a lot of homework but since I'm happy i don't really care. Look at this graph, it's so pretty. Now that i've finished math and both Biology practices I'm preparing myself mentally to read Duleidys' book that I don't even know the title to. But I don't care, because I finished the second Biology practice 2 days in advance. Good night y'all

Exciting IB Week

This is the week that's going to take my life. Since sunday I slept 3 hours each night until yesterday, that I slept a full 9 hours because I was too tired. For the next Tuesday we have a Social Studies project, in this investigation I'm analyzing how the development of the tourism sector influenced the growth of our economy during Joaquin Balaguer's 12 year government. Also, we have a math project due the same day, but this one is almost finished, at least... This will be a really tiresome weekend, worst than the week has been. Hopefully next one isn't like this and hopefully next weekend I'd love to have no homework and go out a lot.

This picture reminded me of when you see an old friend and tell them: "Man, we need to get together" and the friend goes "I'll call you tomorrow so we can hang out".

This is the script I have to learn for theatre. It's a really cool comedy play. It's about a teacher that makes herself to be really tough and bad, but in reality she loves teaching and loves children, and the student knows it. The act is that the teacher and the student are negotiating the terms for the student, Mr. Montgomery, not to tell his classmates about the real face of the teacher. I'm presenting it as the student, and my classmate Michelle is the teacher. We present next week.

Who Dambisa Moyo?

Dambisa Moyo is a Zambian woman that has been named by the Times magazine, one of the 100 most influential people in the world.  Dr. Dambisa Moyo currently holds a PhD in Economics from Oxford, a Masters from Harvard and is the author of three New York Times Best Sellers.

She is a member of the board of: Barclays Bank, Barrick Gold, Chevron and Seagate Technologies.

Dambisa Moyo is the living proof that if you want to succeed you need to put effort in it and it will happen eventually.  She is from a very poor part of the world, where women are treated as less and look where she has gotten.  So don’t get discouraged whenever someone tells you that you can’t do it because he/she is wrong, you can do anything you put effort into.

Today was the excursion day of the cultural fair and it was awesome. I assisted to “El barrio chino” with my biology teacher Miguel Angel Sanchez and we walked the entire hood, it is nasty but we need to understand that it is culture. We ate at a restaurant and i ordered chow fan it was an ENTIRE plate of rice mixed with meat i felt like i was gonna die but i survived.

New Project

A long time ago, actually not that long because it was only like 3-4 years ago, I learned to program in the language called C++.  With this programming language I made a lot of stuff that helped me throughout the school year, like a Physics Problem Solving program that made Physics’ homework a lot easier and some fun projects, like a dice program for a game I was working on, and a guess the number game, entre autres choses (I don’t know if the french is right, but it looks cool).

So, today I downloaded the platform that I used to program on and got really motivated to start again and maybe learn another language so I can finally make my dream come true.  That dream is to make a game of my own.

I would like for you guys to comment down below some ideas for some simple games to get my programming rhythm back up to where I was, and maybe if you want to make some repetitive assignments easier we could talk about pricing.  Well, hope you’ll give me some ideas, I really need some motivation to get back at it.  Please comment or write me an e-mail if you want a more personal thing done.  Hope you’ll help.

New period of evaluation, new group, Ravenclaw now is constituted by Gabriel Sanchez, Paula Veras, Alejandro Oller, Raul Burgos and me, Fernando Tavarez, getting along with new people is something that is going to be great and will make us grow as a group, working together with different type of people we can say that is an other day at the offices, we need to deal with some kind of people that sometimes we dont like and having the opportunity to every period change groups will make us understand each other and develop as persons tolerant and pacient.
