My life revolves around the uni

I'm feeling very well... now.

(*notices timestamp* Good God, 22:27 already??)

After class, I was fuming at my Inorganic Chemistry I teacher. She berated me for complaining that we don't know the VSEPR theory because we have never been told about it, claiming that she has already explained it twice. I SWEAR TO GOD SHE HASN'T. I asked around my classmates to confirm, and indeed, no one remembers VSEPR being explained, ever.

I knew I'm not crazy.

Speaking of which...


Now I'm sure he's got something against me.

I spent most of my spare time during today's three-hour break with Evgenia, because we've undertaken an Inorganic Chemistry I project together. Today, for instance, we wanted to go apply for username and password to the department's computer lab, so that we could work on our project there.

Anyways. So in three different instances all day, I was with Evgenia, we happened upon Eric (or he happened upon us), and he talked to her ONLY and completely ignored me. It was most blatantly obvious the third time (it's the charm, no?), when we were actually a handful of kids, and he talked to everyone EXCEPT me. He barely spared a glance at me when I said something, and the rest of the time it was as if I were transparent. And it's not like we haven't talked in the past - because we have, and we had actually talked about a lot of things.

I swear there's something really fishy going on here.

And I'm paranoid enough to consider that he may fancy Evgenia. If he does, it will be the headdesk moment of the century. I mean, she's not ugly per se, her features are all just fine - but she has no femininity. The way she dresses, the way she talks, the way she behaves... she doesn't seem like the kind of girl to attract a boy. Then again, I'm not a boy.

On the topic of Evgenia. Now that we've been spending more time together... I haven't exactly reconsidered, but whether you like it or not, when you spend a lot of time with someone, you get closer to them. And, as you have probably realized by now, I'm an open book (not one f-locked entry in this journal so far!), so... yeah. Evgenia is a good girl, really, and it seems that she really likes me, and we can get along okay. It's just - a weird thing. We are very similar, yet at the same time very different. And then there's the thing that she can irk me with her ways sometimes.

Example: I haven't told her about Eric... exactly. Basically, she shared first. So I couldn't NOT say anything, and kept myself to a non-committal "if I had to choose..." Then we sidetracked for a minute, and then she asked me, "So, what are you going to do, wait until he hits on you?" I told her that I had made a few efforts to approach him, but they were all in vain, and then the second instance of Eric approaching the two of us and speaking only to Evgenia happened, so when he left I told her, "see how he doesn't talk to me? What am I supposed to do, force him?"

So I let it seem like I'm not going to bother much (whether I *will* bother much or not is a whole different issue). But she keeps bringing it back, mentioning the nickname she and that other girl Pigi have given to Eric whenever we see him ("The Bold And The Beautiful", because of his style. LOL. Though the amount of times I've heard it makes it old, and I only first heard about it last Saturday, for crying out loud) and doing the wink-wink-nudge-nudge-I-know-you-like-him. Ugh. I knew she'd do that. Good thing I didn't tell her "OMG I'm so absolutely smitten with him." She'd make me die of shame.

(Oh God I hope it doesn't occur to her to mention anything to anyone. Though it probably won't, I don't think she's that kind of person. What's likely is for others to figure it out by the way she talks to me about it/him. Waah.)

Will try to go to bed early-ish today, although I slept like a brick this afternoon - I'd still be asleep if I hadn't set my cellphone's alarm to wake me up at 8 p.m., I think.

And tomorrow I've got Maths, and Physics, and I really should have taken a look at my notes and this couple of exercises we've been given. Oh God.

I fail at life.

Talk to you soon,
Anna.

I'd say something on this whole Eric thing if I had anything to say . . . . you know me, I have less experience here than you do. I hope things turn out well, however that is . . .

Thanks for trying, Doran *g*

See ya,
Anna.

ok, so why don't we just go and hit this guy Eric hard on the head? ah, you know..i've come to the point of NOT trying to understand guys, or even try to get through the invisible barrier most of men build around themselves... just let him be....find youself another guy...he does not deserve you anna!

SUPERAN TODOS MIS LIMITES! me vuelven loca =) y por lo que veo a ti tambien.

ok, i just wanted to say something in spanish, cause it didn't look ok in english. idk, i'm crazy you know =)

good luck hun=)

LOL, they're impossible to understand, aren't they? :p

Y no te preocupes, basta que hables en ingles o espanol y yo te comprendo :p

Thanks!

VSEPR: Valence Shell Electron Pair Replusion Theory

Complicated name for a very simple concept.

Electrons are negatively charged. The electrons from one atom will naturally repel the also negatively charged electrons from another atom. This means that atoms will stay as far away from each other as possible, within the confines of the molecular bonds holding them together.

This idea is used to predict the shape a molecule will take. If you slap four atoms together (such that they are all bonded to each other), they will naturally form a tetrahedron (four-pointed pyramid) so as to keep the maximum possible amount of space between atoms.

Make sense?

If not, an old observation of mine may help: People in elevators obey VESPR theory. Watch for it. They will naturally position themselves so that there is as much space as possible between one person and the next, within the confines of the elevator walls.

Of course, atoms have an easier time moving in 3D. People will not naturally stand on each other's shoulders to get a little extra space. But if Spider-Man was one of the people in the elevator, he would probably end up sticking to the ceiling.

If you need more help, you can read up on it over at wiki:

Now, if only human chemistry was so easy... (Sorry I can't really help there.)

Paul! Thank you for jumping to the rescue as always! :))) This synopsis will be very handy to keep in mind while studying :)

See ya,
Anna :)

Ok 2 comments. 1. ROTFL @ Paul! The elevator example and VESPR theory are TOO FUNNY, but so true. Makes me kinda miss being a scientist just because of jokes like that LOL. But anyway comment 2. Guys. UGH. It never ends. My latest theory on guys is that, if they can't grow up and say, "Hey? You know what? Let's do something sometime." Then they've got serious issues. I make my conversational efforts, too, but if they can't jump on the train and make an effort back, then there's 6 billion other people on the planet.

Heh, I like your theory. It's encouraging to think that it's them who have the problem, and not me *g*

See ya,
Anna.
