Cynthia , the substitute , and Landsberger continues to cuss.

Ok Lots of stuff.

First of all, comments are back up. If you behave yourselves.. Robert.. I will keep the comments on. Note: It is heavily moderated. New comments are not posted unless approved by me.

Comments are interesting, but keep it civilized, people.

1 - Primero - Ichi - Ek

On Saturday, Cynthia was in a car with (I think) 4 other people w/o a seatbelt, and someone cut them off when they were entering Interstate35, and their car spun 3 times and flipped over. Cynthia was thrown from the seat because the door came open (no seatbelt). Nevertheless, she is very lucky to have escaped with minor abrasions and a cracked vertebrae.

Of course, many people will say "thank god she survived". Um wait a minute. If "god" caused her to live, then he probably caused the accident too. Anyway. Buddhists rock. One more thing, if you're in the hospital, and you get better, it's the DOCTOR not some divine being that cured you.

I went to see her Monday and she was fine - as in... talking a lot. Of course, I have complete faith in the medical services, although Brackenridge hospital is nothing like Medical Center of Plano or Presbyterian Hospital of Plano. Oh and Plano is getting a Children's Hospital. A big one. Awesome. (http://www.childrens.com/).

2 - Dos - Ni - Do

I had this weird substitute today for math models. He was really excited. He'd ask a question, and then pause. When someone meekly said the answer, he'd go YES OF COURSE YES YES YES. I was freaked out. Also, I could not study for my Japanese test because of his enthusiasm. [please refer to my schedule for times]

Speaking of which, I'm not sure how I did on that one.

3 - Tres - San - Tiin

Today in nuclear seminar, after class ended, Landsberger started cussing.

Landsberger - The Indians and Chinese are STEALING OUR JOBS

Me - Um... Umm... [Do I leave or what?]

Landsberger - My son started complaining, " 'Daddy, all the Korean kids study a lot more', Then I said, "No f***ing shit, son, you think they want to go back to North Korea?"

Me - Um.. Umm... Koreans are good looking. [Of course, I was thinking this]


lol.. Very interesting. I was going to post some pictures, but blogger picture service is not working.

New Movie!


Wah. I haven't watched a full movie in a while. A WHILE.

Anyway. It was worth it. Perhaps you guys should check it out. - I have it.

I freaked some people out today. It was interesting to see the looks. They had all these strange questions. Guys! It's just an efficient way of making the best decisions.

Japanese test on Tuesday - shouldn't be that much of a problem.

Here is the short list-o-things to do this week:

  • Drogas
  • Applewhite gift/email
  • Quantum homework
  • Organic homework
  • Math models homework
  • Organic Stilbene lab write up
  • Organic lab - prep write up
  • Japanese draft
  • 日本語のテストがあります。ちょっと勉強する。
  • Kanji review
  • Lab safety meeting
Of course, when I say short, I mean I can finish all of the weeks' work in a day. THAT's short. Awesome. A nice relaxing week before spring break. Naturally, anything may pop up at any time.

Can't believe it's already March.. hmm.. I remember March being important somehow....

^.^ = dog
^v^ = parrot?
^*^ = airplane?
^~^ = ?

send me your comments. [email plz]

A whole lot of nothing

A day in the life of....[me..]. Here is a short chronicle of what happened.

730AM - Wakeup, mull around in bed for 30 minutes. I think this part is one of the highlights. Just sleeping in bed with eyes open thinking.. "If I wanted to, I COULD go back to sleep".

8AM - Shower, etc, etc. The usual.

837AM - Time to go to class.

9AM - Lab starts

1PM - Lab ends.... (4 hours later..)

1:10PM - There's some festival in UT today, a bunch of little kids are running around. Relatively, I'm about 4 times taller, and I walk fast. I felt like I was going to run over some kids. Then I saw Christian and them at the Ant booth, and I jacked some food - 2 bags of chips, two cookies and a coke to be exact. I think they were saving it for me.

1:20PM - Head over to Patterson. Today was different from the usual lab work. I was plating bacteria today. Interesting? I think so.

See, the bacteria live on the surface of the ant, so when you first take the ant out, you have to kill it, so they don't move around when you're trying to scrape the bacteria. Of course, with so much ethanol around, it's interesting to let the ants sip ethanol from the end of a tweezer, and get drunk..

Yes. So I inebriated 4 ants today. They walk funny when drunk too!

Also, I witnessed how strong ants are. We always see these things as carrying watermelons (in cartoons) and stuff, but perhaps it's not that far off. When I was trying to feed it ethanol, the ant would bite the end of the tweezer. It's not hard to yank the tweezer from its jaws, but you can really feel how strong they are. Same with their legs. Wow.

So 4 ants later, it was around 4:30PM

5PM - Head over to my room, check on my computer (remember my computer bag broke.. so it has been sitting in my room).

6PM - Go to HEB with Tiffany. HEB is a difficult place to shop. Sometimes I think communist places are easier because they tell you what to eat. I go to HEB, and I'm like... what... groceries... do... I... need.

So what did I buy?
3 Oranges
Bag - o - grapes
Maple Syrup covered cinnamon rolls
KIKKOMAN TERIYAKI SAUCE
KIKKOMAN INSTANT MISO SOUP
...lol
and... tortillas.

So I got back around 7:20PM.

And I've been doing homework since then.

Yep. A whole lot of nothing.

I think I'm going to change my layout of this blog soon. Perhaps over spring break

Oh yeah! This is the last week before spring break. That should be nice. I need a break... to catch up on work..lol

Night of free food and oof - I am so full.

It all started last Monday. Cynthia invites me to VSA, and I see the March Masti flyers everywhere. One thing in particular catches my eye - FREE FOOD.

So it's decided. Me and Mr. Chan, hitting up VSA.

We show up in VSA and they mull around for 30 minutes; nothing happens. Then.. someone says "FREE FOOD IN BUSINESS ATRIUM". Omg.

We made out of there like lightning. Free food in atrium. When we got there they marked our hands so we wouldn't come back for seconds. Ok.. I guess that's fine. After filling (half filling?) our stomachs, we run to VSA for more food.

At VSA, they hand us plates of noodles, shrimp, tofu, chicken(I think..lol), and egg rolls. After eating in VSA, we make a quick exit, and head for the business atrium ONCE AGAIN.

When we get there, we have to wash our hands, because hello?, they marked it... Mine comes off instantly. INSTANTLY. Unfortunately, Mr. Chan's marks do not come off so easily. Hence, he does not get additional food.

Also.
I AM GENETICALLY BRED TO OBTAIN FREE FOOD.

I quickly go back there with my fresh hand and obtain a mark and another plate of free food.


...


I almost feel bad now. Almost.

Also, Robert saw a guy who looked like Vivian Lee (Jonathan's sister)!
A GUY THAT LOOKS LIKE VIVIAN LEE.

Even the facial expressions were the same!

lol.

I found this link yesterday:
http://www.craigslist.org/about/best/sfo/66795671.html

I will now post some highlights.
  • They’re relatively low-maintenance. Most can be fueled on pizza, Twinkies and Mt Dew. No complicated dinners needed here, so if you’re not the best cook, eh. Can you order a pizza?
  • Although he may not want to go to every outing with you, you can arrange swaps, as in, you’ll go to his Gamer Con dressed as an elf princess if he’ll take you to the ballet. Plus, if he doesn’t want to go someplace with you, you won’t have to worry much about what he’s up to. You’ll probably come home to find him asleep on his keyboard in a sea of Mt. Dew cans with code blinking from the screen. It’s ok. He’s used to this. Just toss a blanket over him and turn out the light.
  • His friends aren’t jerks. I can’t stress this enough. You’ll more likely get “Omg! A GIRL!! Can I see?!” than “Hey hot stuff back that ass up here and let me get some grub on...” They’re awkward geeks too and will, 9 times out of 10, treat you with the utmost respect and, more than likely, a note of awe. A cute girl picked one of their clan to date? It could happen to them! Hope! Drag some of your single girlfriends over, open up a pack of Mt. Dew, crack open the DnD set and get working. Nothing impresses geek guys more than a girl who can hack-n-slash (well ok maybe if she can code... a geek can dream). <-- this part is true.
  • They’re usually very well educated. Physics majors and the like. See #5. You won’t have to listen to him blathering on about his car (ok maybe a little), he’ll have loads of other interesting things to talk about. Politics, world events, how much the chicken burgers down at the local place rock, so long as you douse them in hot sauce...

YES!! YES. See that last one? So awesome. Now go read the rest of that link.

I think I'm an interesting button to talk to. That is, when I feel like talking to people. Oh, and email will always be responded to, but voicemail? snail mail? .. probably not.

???

Backpack broken... about one and a half weeks ago, a zipper broke off. I was like "ok.. there are two zippers, I'm still good".

Last night, the other one broke off. Now I can't carry my computer around anymore. I have to use this backpack that says FUSION 2001 and things like "Lockheed Martin" and all these company names on it..

Now that I think about it.. where did this come from? All these defense manufacturers are on it.
\I found out that some arabian guy is on a scholarship from some oil company. Damn it. How come I can't get an oil scholarship? ... I want my school completely paid for too. It's because I'm not middle eastern...


Wait a minute. I think I'd rather pay for school than be middle eastern. Yes. And all the scholarships are "NEED BASED".

FOR EXAMPLE:

(ESA-BIRDWELL) William Reagan Birdwell Jr. Memorial ScholarshipFor a current film major at the University of Texas. Applicants with a minimum GPA of 3.0 but not exceeding 3.5. Applicants should be involved on campus and demonstrate leadership, service, and integrity. ($1,400/1 recipient)

You don't have to read all that just the part that says "minimum GPA of 3.0 BUT NOT EXCEEDING 3.5"

AND THIS IS FOR A FILM MAJOR. NOT EXCEEDING 3.5? OH NO. GOD FORBID "FILM MAJORS" SHOULD DO WELL IN THEIR CLASSES.


\that will be all.

bwahahaha

[From Orgo II]

Iverson: What's an interesting word to use these days? What's the 'cool' word?

Someone: "TIGHT"

Iverson: Tight.. ok. Well, this is a really "TIGHT" leaving group.

hahaha

Oh and I got my organic test back and HE LOST A PAGE OF ANSWERS.

Here is my prompt email.
Yes. This is how things go.

Finally figured out how to do widescreen in my ipod. Awesome. More later.
