calm after the storm

After the crappy start of the week, the rest of the week doesn't seem so bad..

I accidentally emptied my saving account into my brokerage account.. I only meant to stick in half of my savings, and did it twice. Oh, and the stock market took a hit today. Thankfully my brokerage account didn't lose value.. but now I'm poor cause my money is kinda stuck in there for a while. But it's a relief that it's not losing value.

I really don't have any homework for the rest of the week and next week. This gives me time to...

Sleep. I can take naps again. I still fall asleep in class though.. so it's really not caused by sleep deprivation.

Go out. I actually get to spend time outside of my room. Though being in my room isn't too bad either cause I'm roommate free for a weekend. Last time I was roommate free was for a night, and it was the best nights sleep I had in a long long time. Now I will have a whole weekend.

I also have time (a lot of time) to just relax, watch TV, and exercise.

Side story: I went out for a fundraising social... thingy. Some guy came up to us and asked for 50 cents for a cup of coffee. Since I had 50 cents in change and don't care too much for change, I gave it to him. In return, he gave me a sea shell. It's kinda pretty. Serves as an interesting souvenir.

Sure, its not a perfect day, but its nice in comparison.

craptastic week so far

Well. Midterms week started out well with a huge backlog of work from Chinese New Years Eve (學業近步 everyone) which wasn't even spent well. My mom got a 15 minute long dinner with me and my sister before we rushed back to finishing work.


My CNY money pretty much got wiped out by my credit card debt...and it took a chip outta my savings too. Horray for $200 textbooks.

My Chinese New Years was spent with three lovely ladies. :P Otherwise I would've spent it by myself staring blankly at my physics book. I was still hungry though. :(

My physics midterm did not go well. Everyone near me didn't seem to do so hot either, seeing how they all had different answers for everything, none of which looked remotely close to what the correct answers are (mine didn't look anything like the correct answer either, we're all sinking in the same boat together).

Happy note: I got my math quiz back, full points. Yay! Though like 90% of the quizzes I went through before finding mine also had a perfect score soo....

I have an essay to write. I am not happy. I do not like writing essays. My rough draft was completed 10 minutes before I left for class for it to be uselessly peer reviewed. Peer review is such a useless form of feedback. Not to mention that you'd think that people who passed out of writing 1 would be able to write better than.. what they're writing.

My physics discussion had the normal arrogant TA replaced with a very picky demanding also quite cocky substitute TA. I think I'm going to go back to my original discussion section. That TA was nice.

I got a few (yeah, more than one) blisters on my feet from flip flips. My hand got kinda cut up form something (I honestly did not even notice until the blood dried up).

A few other things have been floating around in the back of my mind too. I'm just going to lock them away and hope it doesn't turn into a tumor or something.

martin luther king jr. weekend update

I finally framed my horizontal formal pictures. It happens to be above where my head is when I sleep. Hopefully there's no earthquakes when I'm sleeping. I still think the bottommost picture is a horrible picture. Oh well. Good memory.

I washed my doggy! He's clean and fluffy now. Here's a random picture of him.


I finished repairing my subwoofer. Read here.

I washed my car (again) and am in the process of painting my car (as of right now, letting the paint dry). It's as good as it's gonna get. Read about that here.

Oh, and I forgot to bring my phone charger home so I'm hoping 31% 15% battery life remaining will last 1 more day. Haha. and my phone died and I had to borrow Connie's charger and charge it at 天仁's. :P They never gave me back my stamp card D:

My mom got herself an iTouch. She gave me her old 3rd-gen 8GB nano... now I'm used to having 2GB that I only use half of.. time to figure out what to do with the other 6.5GB.... On a side note, writing Chinese on the touch is fun.

My bail refund finally came. My bank account is going to be happy as soon as I deposit the check. happy.

flippity floppity flip flop plop

I broke my right flip flop. It sucks. I wore them to paint senior parking spots (so they're all spotty and stuff). Oh well. It's bound to happen sooner or later.

Walking back to my dorm with only one flip flop was... an experience. It wasn't too bad when I was on the streets.. but as soon as I got near the lagoon it was pretty nasty.. and the path next to the lagoon has some pretty sharp rocks. So I had a layer of gunk on my foot by the time I made it back to my room.

Lesson learned. Don't walk near the lagoon barefoot.

winter quarter is busy

and it sucks.

oh, not to mention I went out 2 out of the 3 days so far.. hmm..

being busy still sucks though.

That’s weird, there were only two of them when they got in on the first floor

A bunny’s a critter that’s fuzzy and warm

And prone to some mischievous pranks
A bunny will get his friend drunk at the dorm
Then tag, with a Sharpie, his flanks

A bunny might wrap a commode in Saran
Then wait for somebody to spatter
His pants and his shoes and the floor of the can
With the erstwhile contents of his bladder

Bunnies are constantly goofing around
They’re like practical jokers from Hell
Their favorite is piling themselves in a mound
In the lift at a store or hotel

They’ll pile in the car ‘cause they think that it’s funny Completely ignoring the notice That says “Max Capacity: Seventeen Bunnies Signed, yours officially, Otis”

I like bunny shirts. This one's cute. My mom thinks I'm weird for buying so many bunny shirts.
I like the color of this one too. :D

happy new years!

Lamest holiday ever. It just means it's time to get a new calendar. I hate getting new calendars, I usually don't get around to it until mid-Feb. when CNY comes around and asian banks start handing them out for free. I got my '09 calendar already though: China Airlines. Props to my travel agent for getting it to me before the new year actually started.

Now for some new years resolutions..
1. Run/work out more often. I swear. Losing weight while feeling squishier SUCKS.
2. Wake up before lunch. (does not apply to weekends and holidays)
3. Spend less time on facebook. It's a drug. It's unhealty. It's unproductive. It makes you fat.
4. Spend less time in front of the computer in general. I swear if it's not facebook, it's something else.
5. Be nice to my dog, or people, but mostly my dog.
6. Stop buying t-shirts.. I swear my hangers just seem to disappear.. Sweaters too for that matter..
7. That exercise thingy is still bugging me.. Less potato couch, more flying killer bunny.
