Diary...
Today was great; I felt so good today that all my worries disappeared at that moment. I was at engineering class, my two teammates never showed up; one of them had the oven’s prototype, which, by the way, was poorly done and the other nothing. I had the information in power point, investigation and a drawing in “sketch up”, yup, three jobs, three teammates, wow... coincidence? Nop, did it all, but anyways, I went to class, the other teams where doing their presentations, and I waited, I called my teammates, the one who did nothing answered, telling me the other was sick and he was too busy doing some works in his house, yeah right. So the professor (a she prof.) asked me if I were to do the presentation, my answer was simple: “If my teammates are absent and they didn’t have a care in the world or even being sick, knowing that we have to do the presentation, well, that’s them, I’m still doing it, even if I’m alone” later she smiled and offered me to do the demonstration. And guess what, first time I was in front of the class talking without being nervous or stuttering. It took me 2 times more than the other groups to explain because of the load and enormous amount of information I had with the work assigned to me. When I finished, I asked if anyone had any questions about my work, and one asked: “Where are your teammates? Are you doing it alone?”, I answered “No, it’s just that one of my teammates, apparently is sick, while the other is lost in work at his house” and damn that felt good, now everyone in class knows what I had to go through since the beginning of the class. The teacher asked for my name, I gave it to her, I went to see why she wanted it, I was the only one who had to give her my name, and when I stood next to her, I saw her write in the “assistance paper” beside my name: “Did the work alone” and next to the names beside my present “Teammates” she wrote: “Did not work in the group”. That felt like sweet, sweet revenge; really great and comforting... Everyone was like “Wow! You did everything yourself? Man, I barely did my part in the group” and I said: “Well, I want to pass the class, that’s why I did it. If I didn’t do the presentation I would have failed the class, so, I’d rather do it alone than not doing it at all.”
Besides that, my day was normal, my dad pissing me off... (what a way to start a day, just doing the daily routine) took classes, laughed and cried of laughter in my math class, same as 3 of my friends (we where making fun of the teacher by putting the Chewbacca’s shout aloud in the class xDD), skipped my social study’s class and went to eat Mexican food near the university. That’s all... good bye for today, diary :P.
