What does "grade" mean on Linkedin profiles? On Linkedin profiles, in the Education section, when you add a new one, you can put your grade. But I'm not sure what "grade" is. Is it a mark? Or my current level/year at college?

A Thomas Edison's quote — Why is "work" in future tense in the English version? "I have not failed. I've just found 10,000 ways that won't work.” — Thomas Edison The usual translation in Spanish is "No he fracasado. Sólo he encontrado 10.000 formas que no funcionan." "Funcionan" means "(they) work" (present tense) in Spanish. Why is "work" in future tense in the English version? Is there any grammar rule for that? Thanks in advance.

Replacing the context menu I just saw how 500px.com prevents people steal its users' photos replacing right-click context menu over them and I thought "I can do that". ;) I'd have to improve it by preventing message box shrinking on right side of the page.

It's time to get shit done I'm on holidays and I think it encourages me to be lazy longer than normal. Last year, during college, I got a kind of freelance job with some classmates. It was offered by a professor of us. The job sounded exciting. Maybe because it's an actual, "real world" job and it's about one of my hobbies: web development. The thing is that the project's deadline was extended much more than I expected. Now I'm working on holidays and I realized that it's not such a interesting project. It's pretty boring and stressful at the same time. Not to mention how low is the pay. However, I commited to finish this project and I will. I just have to overcome procrastination and get shit done. ;)

I feel much better now As I said in a previous entry, I had a nose surgery. An endoscopic sinus surgery, to be more accurate. It was necessary to treat my sinusitis. And, until yesterday, I felt a little uncomfortable because I can't breathe through my nose. But today the doctor has removed the plugs (Merocel packings technically?) from my nose! Now I can almost breathe as normal as ever! In no time I'll be recording short videos in English to practice my speaking (and hopefully you'll help me to improve it). ;) I want to hear/read what you think about that idea! Thanks in advance!

A video a day for practicing speaking I had an idea: make a video a day of me talking to the camera in English and uploading to YouTube. I wonder whether you would be willing to give me some feedback on those videos. Hopefully, this would help me to improve my speaking and to overcome the fear to the camera. :P Thanks!

Today I woke up without motivation Three days ago I had a surgery of the nose. I can't breath through it, neither workout. Anyway, the main problem is I feel unproductive and unmotivated. I have work to do and many side projects I want to complete, but there is a huge lack of willpower. I hope this entry break that feeling.

Introducing myself Note: I will have an English exam tomorrow. I expect that this text help me to introduce myself orally. My name is Valentín Costa. I'm 22 years old. I was born in Gualeguaychú, where my family lives, but I live mostly here (in Concepción del Uruguay) because I'm currently studying Information System Engineering at National Technology University. It's my fourth year at college. I live in an apartment with two friends: Federico, who was a classmate on high school, and Gerardo, who we met him at college two years ago. Both of them study Electromechanical Engineering. I spend my time reading and watching videos about my biggest hobbie: web development. I really enjoy to code and design web stuff that can be useful for other people. I started to learn about it when I was 13 years old. I'm not a sportsman, but I try to stay healthy. I go running four times a week with a friend of mine. I will appreciate any suggestions and corrections! Thanks.
