There was a news article some time ago [link] which suggested that you start the year with 360 "humanity points" and subtract 1HP for every case of "fails at life behaviour" you come across and add 1HP for every "wins at life" story.
If you get down to zero until Jan 1st next year, humanity has failed.

So, since some days have gone already, I'll date everything that happened to this week (I won't do it daily, I guess).

week 1+2:
+360HP (start)
+1 my room feels a lot bigger since I rearranged it
+1 I have a bike now
-1 realised that my maths exam was rescheduled (okay, the original date was Easter Monday but the new date isn't too much better): to one day before another important exam. And I haven't been notified!
-2 Guy from Sri-Lanka forgotten (how can that happen?) in jail [link]
+1 chances are good tI can go to Edinburgh and get an ERASMUS scholarship
=> 360HP

week 3:
-1 I think candidates from the same party should not have such a dirty fight in the media. (referring to Clinton and Obama)
-2 Austrian politician calls Muhammad a child abuser and claims child abuse was common among Muslims. Hellooo???? I can't believe it! (I'm sorry, I couldn't find any English links on this)
+1 people are supporting me a lot with my planning for Edinburgh
-1 opposed to the beginning of the semester, my maths assistant professor told me now I had to attend the whole lecture I wouldn't mind it too much if I had been told this at the beginning (I was told 2/3 suffice), I mean, I do get the full 8 ECTS so I should do the work for them, but it's death to my planning.
=> 357HP

week 4:
-1 it sucks when you agree on a meeting with some people, but no-one comes anyway.
-1 planning a meeting, it would be nice to ask others if they actually have time. (this is referring to a different group of people than the one above)
+1 good Edinburgh news. According to the two most relevant people, I'm allowed to attend the courses I chose and they'll be useful for my later studies (Still no answers from their university though, so I'll resend my email from my university account next week)
=> 356HP

week 5:
+1 a very time-consuming activity which would have cost me 6 whole days has been delayed to summer. As a whole this isn't good but I appreciate because in Summer, I'll be able to do it a lot better because I have more time.
-1 being assigned a talk about a topic you just admitted (and because you did) you don't understand is sort of...annoying
=> 356HP

week 6:
-1 nine people died in a burning house, probably it was burning due to fire raising
+1 the talk about the crazy topic (it was Clifford Algebra...difficult maths which is closely related to relativity theory...) went pretty well
-1 staying up far too late working all day made my cough/cold even worse
-1 my feverish dreams (night after the talk) were about mazy formulas I just didn't manage to understand -very frustrating indeed
-1 I was ill on my birthday
+1 my 1GB RAM (which was broken when it arrived so I sent it in) has been replaced by a new one which seems to work (shoot me, I know I am a geek and yes, the new RAM actually does make me happy)
=> 354HP

weeks 7-9:
-1 having to learn more than 1000 pages by heart really sucks!
+1 I realised, I actually manage to read 13 books this semester. Don't ask me when I did though, because I really don't know.
+1 I have a calendar now, to keep track of my todo list as well as on how much time I spend on productive activities such as...just about everything but sleeping, hygiene and reading.
-1 I bruised my hand badly due to my own stupidity. ouch
-1 the ERASMUS thing didn't work out. I'm hoping for a freemover scholarship now.
=> 353HP

weeks 10-13
-2 how am I supposed to get good marks if I only have one week to prepare for two exams which make 10% of my final mark? (also, the topics are as different as they can be)
-1 Microsoft Visual Studio sucks
-1 the Open Scene Graph documentation is horrible (rather undocumented)
+1 the Qt documentation, however, is absolutely lovely!!
-1 Visual Studio really, really, really sucks. Seriously
-1 ill again, yay
+1 loads of people are helping with this semesters's freshers' week
=> 349HP

___________________________________
10 weeks later (End of May) I'm stopping this. It's rather pointless to do this if 10 weeks are missing isn't it? :-/
Anyway, life has been treating me okay. I had a pretty hard time until Pentecost but it's been pretty relaxed ever since

That's it for now.
