75% Done With Finals!

Today marks that we are both are 75% done with finals. Only one more to go. So far, my first final was math, Linear Algebra, which was a good final. Our teach Rafail just changed the numbers on the sample finals online. In fact, on some of them, I don't even think he changed the numbers at all! They seemed very familiar! Hehehehe.
My next final, Cell Bio was a nightmare! My teacher likes to do a lot of "which one is false" type questions. That pissed me off because you might know two that are true, and the other two you don't know if they're false, or you just don't know enough details about it. Well, some were okay because I knew which one was really false. Uhg! It sucked! I feel like I could've guessed, and my score would be the same as if I tried. My eyes were starting to go blurry after an hour and a half of reading her questions!!!
Then my third final ws Statics. That one was great because it was open notes/books, and I just did many example problems in my notes so that I was prepared. But I got stumped on the last potential energy problem. It has a circular shaped rod, which I couldn't figure out the equation for in the time they gave us. There were no problems like that in the book either. Maybe he pulled it out of his ass.
And finally, yesterday night, we went to the gym a little later than usual, around 8:30pm to go climbing/exercise. Some fat bitch at the front desk asked us,
"Are you certified to go climbing?"
"Yes."
"Well, it doesn't show on your membership that you are certified. . ."
Blah blah blah, so she had to call some other trainers and all of them weren't certified to certify us! We have been clibing there for the past two months, and now some fat bitch tells us we can't go (and we were certified to climb in the spring). So finally, we came back after 1/2 hour, and the cool guy just waved us through, and told the fat bitch it doesn't matter, we come here all the time to climb.
We ended up climbing for about an hour, and I finally got over the hump in the rock that I could never do! Romy had his new climbing shoes on too, and he liked them a lot.
Thats it!

Somebody Shoot Me!

Who the hell cares where the rocket's new center of inertia will be once its fuel is exhuasted!

Rock climbing @ XtremeFitness

Today, I finally remembered to bring the camera with so we can take some pics of us climbing. This wall is in the back of the gym we have a membership to. It is actually not so high, about 20 feet only, but its fun because the wall is actually shaped like a real rock, so in some places you can grap at a fake rock hold, or you can try to grip the rock itself.











Above is Romy climbing, and doing his hanging stunt. He can climb every part of the wall, except this side-route, which is pretty tough. There is an automatic belay machine that pulls out the slack when you climb up, and lets you down slowly when you jump, or fall off the wall. I like it, except that is is positioned about two or three feet off the wall, and it keeps pulling you back off the wall as you climb. But its better than a person belaying you because the person sometimes lets you cheat by helping "pull" you up.










Next is me, and I am working on getting over the hump that is created by the "natural" rock. It is tough because I am kinda hanging backwards, plus the rope pulls me backwards, and I kinda have to jump to reach the next hand hold. The rock cut my finger in that picture (it sucked!). The second pic is me on the easiest route. It is like a warm-up now, but when I first started, it was hard! Hehehe I can't believe it was so hard before!!!

A Night at the Ice Hotel

I never thought that I would ever stay at a Ice Hotel. I only see them on TV, and they're always in far away places, like Sweden, Iceland, etc. But man, did I get a suprise!
Browsing through the weekly TravelZoo Top 20 e-mail, towards the bottom of the list was a special offer by the Ice Hotel - Quebec, Canada.

$99 Arctic Fox Special per person per night

Woah! I was so amazed, and I could NOT let this chance pass by! So I booked one night @ the Ice Hotel for me and Romy during spring break.
This hotel is rebuilt every year during November-December, opens in January, and melts back down in late April. It is made purely out of about 11,000 tons of snow and 350 tons of ice. Inside it is decorated by artists, so each room is unique. Oh yeah, and all the furniture (including the beds) is made out of ICE!!!
This picture is of the ICE Bar, where they serve shots of Absolut vodka in carved out ice shot glasses.
Of course, we'll write more after we survive to tell about it!

Climbing Harness

Today, and yesterday, I am feeling sick with a cold or something. Its started with a sore throat, and then progressed to a head ache and runny/stuffy nose.
I am also very sore because I was exercising, doing squats and lunges, and I wasn't used to it. Now my body doesn't feel like healing my muscles, because its concentrating on getting rid of my cold!
Yesterday, I won the climbing harness I was looking at on Ebay. I won it for $1.04, with $8 shipping. It is size small.
My muscles are getting stronger, which is good. Tonight we went climbing at the Y again, and it was tougher than normal because I felt weak, but I still could do everything I normally can do when I am feeling good.
Tomorrow, Romy is going to help out at the climbing wall for some program for little kids. I think I will clean, or do some studying for finals!
