I saw John Kerry today!!

Disneyland was fun, despite every ride breaking down sometime during the day. Go Mickey.

Happy birthdays to Calvin, Sam (March 26), and Stephen Chang.

Warning: lots of whining ahead >>>

First of all, the physics department never ceases to enrage me. Other than the fact that my grades suck this quarter, the wise physics leaders enjoy making us go to physics class 5 times a week. Which doesnt seem so bad except that at least one of those days is late at night, which wouldnt be so bad but for their habit of assigning rooms that dont fit everyone. Of course, all this wouldnt be all that horrible if not for their enjoyment of putting out a schedule and then changing it once everyone has already planned things out. So now, after all my careful planning, my perfect schedule now has a big red conflict in it. Thanks a lot physics!!!

<<< End whining

Ok, sorry about that.

I visited mt carmel today. It looked just like the old days, except with a whole lot less people, and more parking spots open. I saw Mr. Hepler (Mrs. Hepler wasnt there!) and he actually remembered me. I saw jocelyn and eupheme too, which was fun. They said that i looked older. Eupheme said I "wasnt a teddy bear anymore" !!!! :O I can't tell if I should feel insulted or complemented . . .

I went to Borders today. What's wrong with borders? Borders is fun!! There's books, music, dvds, comics, magazines, anna kournikova calenders . . . Borders isnt nerdy! Its cool! Someone back me up on this :P

Finally . . . Mike . . . has come back!!!!! . . . to Disneyland!!! (impression of The Rock) Tomorrow, actually i'll be going to Disneyland. Should be fun.

Got The Rundown DVD, which is one of the greatest movies since The Scorpion King.

"You threatening me? You threatening me with pee?"

Planning on visiting good old mt carmel tomorrow around noonish. Anyone wanna come? Call me up yo.

Quick recap of the past few days; Wednesday went with vic to UTC. Nothing too notable, except for vic trying to ride a 2 foot skateboard in K-B. Thursday me and mario played our traditional end of quarter round of pool, where he *almost* beat me. Friday did some b-ball with jon, who has a really big house. We made some pretty funny shots.

Weekend did family stuff. We were supposed to go to disneyland on saturday, but changed it to sunday, and then postponed it till next saturday. Instead we ended up going to seaport village and other random places around there. We drove past Petco Park which looks pretty cool.

Not much else going on. See ya later.

Well, one more physics final and then its all over. Then its on to spring quarter "Where it all begins . . . again."

Music used to facilitate studying over the past week+ :
Channel 933
KyXy
Michelle Branch - Hotel Paper
Mike's Rap Mix (mostly Yeah and Slow Jamz)
Mike's Love Songs Mix
Elvis - #1s
The Beatles - #1s

Hotel Paper is a great CD by the way, even when you're not trying to memorize the mechanism of a Wolff-Kishner reaction.

Hey ya!! I took the o-chem final and still live!! Haha! You missed me suckas! Waddup now punks?? Word life yo!! Woooooooh!!!!!!

Another quarter just about done. Whoo these things go by so fast.

Augh, so hard to study ochem these days. I seriously can't do much more than 5-10 minutes of looking at that stuff before i need to stand up and walk around or something. Okay, so not much has changed since the last 2 midterms, but i really can't concentrate on all these enols and enolates and enolations. So much on my mind these days, which isn't good going into a final that requires the use of a lot of your mind.

I've also been skimming random xangas through the web of links that people have. I've found some really interesting ones, and its made me feel like my blog is kinda low on the substance. Then again, i think i purposely make it like that to keep things light and fun. The last thing i wanna do is get all emotional and depressing (mike emotional?).

I respect my mom caring for my health and all that, but peeling the skin off hot wings??

Semi-formal pics up at Mario's. Good stuff. The one with the bodyguards, damn i'm scary :P

Most fun songs to dance to that night;
Yeah
Hey Ya
Toxic
Yeah (they played it twice)

Dang! At work today i was walking out of the coldroom when somehow my arm got caught against the door as it was closing. The handle scraped against my arm and now theres a monster cut on it. It didnt hurt but it looks really bad. Almost like i was fighting wolverine and lost. Ok, not that bad, but i still think im gonna have a hard time hiding this one from my mom.

Come fly with me!!

Last night i went with mario and friends to Revelle semi-formal. Fun stuff!! It was at the aerospace museum in balboa, which i have never been in but was really cool. We actually showed up an hour early, and had to kill time playing all sorts of interesting games. When we got inside it was pretty cool. Not very big, but it looked really nice and there were these huge planes and helicopters hanging above. Our group of 14 were the first people to start dancing, and throughout the night we had a cool circle in the middle. I, of course, was my usual hey ya yeah yeah self, burning up the dance floor.

Anyway, it was noodles of fun. I'll talk more later when i have the energy or when someone puts up pictures i can link to.

"Who is John Muir anyway?"
"I think he was some sort of woodsman."
"Like Robin Hood?"
"No. But he was an outdoors type of guy."
"So he went camping a lot?"

If you think people being pied in the face is funny, see Jan's site for some great pictures. Jan cracks me up.

Ahhhhhh. All my finals are on the first 3 days of finals week! That means even less time to cram! Shoot. Now how am i supposed to set the curve on the ochem final now?

I know my bio section. Turns out i only have to do one, which is cool. What's not so cool is that its at 6:00 in the evening. Ah well. I have office hours too. I think ill make a prediction that less than 5 people will come see me all quarter (victor visiting doesnt count). That'll be either because i'll explain perfectly well in section, or, more likely, nobody ever needs to talk to BILD 1 TA's anyway.

So me and my dad went through all the trouble of getting calvin and sam into the back of my van so we could drive them to the vet to get their stitches removed, only to be told that we needed to wait and come back in a week. So now they have to wear those cone things even longer and my car has dog hair in it.

A funny thing i noticed is how sam has developed a habit of actually using chairs and sofas. He actually climbs up on the sofa in their room and sleeps on it. And in the car he sits on the back seat. Calvin refuses to do either of these. We tried giving him a rug, but all he did was eat it and sleep on the bare floor.

My dad, my supervisor, and mario all had birthdays in the last 2 days. Freaky stuff.

Here's another cool shirt.

In case i havent mentioned already, i get to TA next quarter!! For BILD 1, which is the most basic of bio classes, so you should take it so i can be your TA. You'll be guaranteed an A if the price is right ;)

Spent this weekend babysitting my newly-neutered dogs. Fun stuff, especially how calvin bumps into stuff with his cone head thing.
