Just 4 photos taken on April 25th.

I had more nightmares this night, this time with sound track. I woke up yelling, with an image marked in my eyes, just like when you look at something bright and it stays there impressed in your vision for some time. My reflexion was to put my shoes straight together, they were slightly apart. I'm not sure why I've done it, but surely there is some ( Read more... )

Knowledge Engineering project was delivered +/- 24h past the scheduled time. The teacher assured us there will be some sort of penalty for that. The way she said it made me shiver, as she mentioned there were no original plans for applying any penalties on the subject, so it would have to be discussed with the other teachers. She wrote it in red ( Read more... )

Why dramatize? I mean, we all have to work out our problems. Tight scheduled college works, personal relationships, family issues. Everybody has them. So, why make a drama out of it? One has problems sleeping, thinking on all the things that could be better. That leads to exhaustion, exhaustion leads to non-productivity, non-productivity leads to ( Read more... )

As yesterday ended, I was sure of one thing. I've reached the bottom. Right now, there's only one way to go.

PS: I just love that thick cape above the pudding. Strawberry pudding in this particular case.

I was planning on posting yesterday, by the end of the day, about the 25 de Abril. But I must admit, for the first time in years, I wasn't in the spirit. I kept planning during the last year to gather some of my mother's stories about that day, back in 74, when she was working near Carmo. Guess it'll have to wait another year ( Read more... )

The Probability and Statistics test went fairly good, and then we ran against the clock. The report for Design and Analysis of Information Systems was delivered Monday morning, in paper and PDF. Folowed the presentation for that same subject Tuesday morning, which went quite good, considering our expectations. I skipped the Knowledge Engineering ( Read more... )

Hope this post marks the end of this hiatus. Things have been quite stressful this last weeks. And stress has such an unbalacing effect on me.

Un-motivating week. Knowledge Engineering homework not done, mostly related with lack of brains for doing it under time pressure. Started doing research on Analysis and Design of Information Systems, vague information found. No book available on our department library, no instant chances on getting it through not-so-clear ways, and way too high ( Read more... )

Yesterday we went to Sintra for another walk. We climbed the old tracks through the mountain up to the entrance of Parque da Pena, where we quit our initial plans. Sintra is all privately run now, and walk through certain parts of it require the payment of € 3.50. Even if you live in Sintra you have to pay, only € 1 though. They have ( Read more... )
