First Final Exam at CU

Posted in General, USA, Boulder:Colorado, University of Colorado, Boulder on December 17th, 2007

So it’s 12:16AM as I’m writing this now. I have my first final exam at 10:30AM. It shouldn’t be too bad as we are just doing some group work. Tuesday’s exams will be killers because I have one at 7:30AM then one at 7:30PM. I’ve studied for both briefly but need to read over the notes I’ve written all tomorrow after my exam finishes at 1PM. I’m glad that the semester is nearly over for me. I will have 2 days to hang out with my friends before I get picked up on Friday by Julie to spend time with her and her family before leaving Saturday afternoon. I’ve had a really great time here and I can’t wait to come back. Todor’s friend, Marisol is also here so its going to be great once I finish my exams and we can all hang out before the grueling flight home. Well, until after exams, expect some fun party pics of celebration once I get my head all through this! Wish me luck (though I hope I won’t need it)

For work, we have permission to use these webcam images of Boulder. It is so beautiful.
The link is: http://csel.cs.colorado.edu/~floresjl/webcam/ and here is a little sample to what I woke up to this morning. (Edit: my script may be temperamental at times)

A visit through Todor’s iPhone

Posted in General, USA, Boulder:Colorado, University of Colorado, Boulder on December 11th, 2007

Ever since Todor got his iPhone and with the times I’ve forgotten my camera, he took some photos. Since some of them went back a while, I’m going to post to you some of the highlights and memories captured with that tiny camera. Enjoy!


Testing the camera!


Mohit and I on a random walk through Pearl St.


I was so tempted to buy it, even if I didn’t own a Playstation


Pretending to pack my bags and leave…


The Hookah House, Todor style


Preparing for a ski trip


Chris was cold one night so we shrouded him in newspaper


Such a wonderful attempt at reading that book Chris!

I’m in the process of collecting more pictures from people so come back soon and see if I actually made the effort to put more up :P


14 days to make a difference

Posted in General, USA, Boulder:Colorado, University of Colorado, Boulder on December 8th, 2007

14 days is all I have left in the United States of America. It seems that everything went by amazingly quickly because I enjoyed myself too much. I was looking over some photos when I first arrived and I really would like to rewind the clock and revisit it again. It was amazing how I experienced the end of summer, how it was so hot and dry. And now, 8 days into winter, I’ve experienced the cold snowy weather. I’ve seen the green trees change color and then finally lose all their leaves. So now all I have left is 14 days. Even though I’ve done a lot I still feel that a lot of things are missing in this experience, not to mention the last 2 assessment tasks I have to complete, exams, packing my bags and organizing a lot of other stuff that needs to be taken care of before I leave. So enough about that…it snowed yesterday, just after the campus had dried up from the last fall…it was great. Here are some cool pictures.


Good old Hallett Hall, looking so majestic in this one

Kittredge pond looks so much cleaner when it’s cold

The first significant snowfall in Boulder!

Posted in General, USA, Boulder:Colorado on November 26th, 2007

Here are a few pictures of snow on campus! It was way thicker a few days before I took these photos apparently. It snowed Wednesday last week I think and I arrived back on Friday from New York. There’s not much snow laying around now but it is going to snow again on Wednesday. Visit the gallery here for all the pictures.


This is my favorite picture of the Flatirons


Quite childish, I know…


Snowman!!!
