We did it to ourselves

"We did it to ourselves" is an old saying in Farsi = "Az mast ke bar mast"
There's something between us about our majors. You see ... we joke about which is the better and smarter major, each person says his major is the best and it's just a joke but apparently some people thought differently. We(me and Mohammad) started this thing here when Mousavi's family were living with us for a couple of day(when they got here in C'town till they got settled) We use to joke about it at night after a game of Hokm(Old but popular card game in Iran). Then it got bigger and bigger. everyone was making these jokes and we were all just kidding. but lately my friends have though I'm serious about these stuff. specially Hashem(Shadi's brother) He's studding Engineering(he actually has a masters in architecture from Iran) I was making the same jokes as usual on a message on facebook when he started saying that he thinks I'm serious about these jokes and I'm not joking. ooo come on..... are you kidding me?
Ggggggoooooooodddddd
are you serious? you mean I'm really questioning my own fathers major or my brothers majors? well I have news for you, that brain up there in your head..... you can actually use it..... :D
I wrote "How stupid can I_I be?" on my facebook, And that I_I wasn't a mistake. It's a U. ;)
I was commenting on Shadi's profile yesterday and I was just kidding about the same stuff and some other stuff. we were in a kind of a conversation on her status and she suddenly deleted he status. :O
Today I went to talk to her about it and I asked her whether she was mad about my jokes. and she said no and she was lying(It's always obvious when she's lying) I apologized anyway and she accepted it.
This made me realize not only there are people with low sense of judgment but there are people who get really offended by a joke they can't top(something like kam avordan) and it made me realize that not everyone's Janbe(the sense of taking a joke about yourself) is high. But if Shadi was mad and Hashem was offended then I think i should stop it. That's why I'm not going to make any of those jokes again. even if they say anything. I really was joking but they thought I wasn't.
Anyways exams are over, except HTML(the one i missed the final).I'm taking it on Monday but that's not a biggy. I have to mark Math 221 papers tomorrow morning with Dr.Guillotte at 11:00 till 3 or 4 PM and then I'm free.
I'm thinking about buying a book from indigo, i mean a novel not a computer book. or i might just keep on watching youtube videos for the holidays.

OMG

*This post was written when I was so pissed, viewer discretion is strongly advised Wow
I missed my final exam. Yeah and it's the same course that i missed the midterm. I sent a mail to my prof but he said I have to ask the registers office. :( I think I'm gana pass even if i don't take the test but I'm gana pass with fifty something. I hope they let me take it again.
This Shafighe is killing me he keeps asking for the marks. how the fuck am I suppose to tell him we have exams you idiot. you know what, I'm not gana mark them. instead I'm gana give them their average mark+2 or 3. this way they're happy and i don't have to mark 30 papers.
I'm not doing well with finals at all. although i did better than i expected in Data structure but still not very good. last one is on Wednesday, linear algebra, we all(me, pooria, mohammad, pablo) have to study hard cuz we know nothing about it.
I registered for my second semester. I'm taking 5 courses:
Math 242 (again, I got 53 last time)
CS 241 (digital system with Criss vessy, looking forward to this one cuz Criss's classes are not boring at all)
CS 206 (second part of web programing, the one i missed the final)
CS 212 (none traditional platform programing, it's about cellphone programing but it's at the same time as CS 206 so I have to get their permission)
CS 321 (it's a course about interfaces with David, chair of CS)
I'm not gana let what happened this semester happen next semester, That's the least I can learn from this situation.
Yesterday I almost ran over an idiot teenage which is unfortunate cuz i didn't hit him. this idiot just jumped in university avenue, fucking idiot. At night I went to watch Transformers 3 with ali, pooria, Atefe. And after that we went to Mac for dinner. On our way there we were kinda goofing around and racing, when we got there a car parked next to us. The driver was a girl(around 25) and a guy was sitting next to her. She said:"Are you trying to kill somebody?".
I said:"what?"
-What's your problem?
-nothing
-I got your license plate(this is not my license plate --->)
-so what?(you know what it means in Farsi)
and she left. She was actually a car we passed when we were racing. She can't do anything with those licences. Anyways, after dinner we went to beach with an average speed of 120(speed limit is 80 over there) And then i went to pick Mohammad up from Resolve.
OOO when i found out that I've missed my final exam i went for a ride around C'town and there was nobody to race. where the fuck is everyone? I was driving for like an hour or so but nobody was there. you know racing requires 3things:
1.Skill
2.A good car
3.A pair of balls
but here in C'town you need one more thing, someone to race. fuck this man what the fuck is wrong with people.
OOO did I mention we almost died? we(me and Pooria) went to Shomal(hills in the North-West of Ctown, we just call it shomal cuz it's like shomal in summer)and the road was a little slippery, Pooria was driving a little fast when suddenly a curve was in front of us, so he hit the break and his jeep slipped to right and hit something and then it slipped to left and then it stopped. fortunately we hit that thing on our right otherwise we would be deep in the valley. when we came back home we realised that Pooria had a flat tire all this time and we were driving like this for half hour, we changed the tire and he left. later he said it cost him 180$ to fix his tire.
this week was crazy and i guess my blood's Adrenalin went much higher than ever before, even higher than ridding that huge roller coaster in Montreal.
