| Spring 2005 Semester |
[Jan. 19th, 2005|10:10 pm] |
The first week of class is halfway done. 2 more days til this week is over...16 more weeks til this semester is over...
Hardest class: EK424 Thermodynamics - you know this is gonna be hard when the professor says he gives out a lot of D's
Easiest class: PS101 Intro to Pysch - you know this is gonna be easy when the professor's lectures are directly from the text...you can read the text while the prof lectures
Prediction: Another hard semester...harder material, more stress, longer time needed to study, shorter time available to eat, less time to do fun stuff, ie. __(fill in the blank)__
Goal: To do better academically w/o becoming totally insane |

| Stuff |

After my last day (1/3/05) of working at my dad's office, I had a couple of days to do absolutely nothing but sit around the house and watch tv and other stuff (play the piano, eat, sleep, and internet). It was great. Being unproductive is one of the most relaxing activies during vacations. But then I got f***ing sick 2 days later, Wednesday night. I had a fever of 102 or 103 or something...I dunno what made me sick or what the exact problem was; all I know is that I felt like complete "mierda" (use babelfish to translate that word from Spanish to English if you don't know what it means). I couldn't get out of bed. Then I felt better the next day and bought a suit. Then I went to Annie's birthday dinner in Piermont. It was cool. Then after a few minutes of exposure in the 20-30 degree weather, I got f***ing sick, AGAIN. The next day was wasted, I just stayed in bed again. It sucked cuz Jack had a sweet party in his apt in Westchester. I forgot what happened on Sunday. Oh yeah, now I remember. Saturday was my dad's birthday, but I was sick and it was cold and raining so we decided to go out to dinner on Sunday. I ate baby back ribs and chicken (barely touching the useless sides, ie fries, beans) at Rick's Club American. Mmm mmm mmm. Gotta love good bbq in the middle of the winter. Monday I had a bunch of stuff to do before I went to Philly with Wil to visit Raj. I was still sick and coughing with an abundant number of epistaxis(es)??? (I dunno what the plural of epistaxis is...) The plan on Monday night was for Jack, Ian, Annie, Elijah, Christina to come over before Annie left for Europe, but Annie got stuck in traffic in the city so I was long passed out before she got home. That sucked cuz I never really saw anyone this break. Then I went to Philly (actually Raj just moved out to the suburbs but it's close enough) from Tuesday to Thursday. The first thing we did was go downtown to eat at Geno's and Pat's Philly Cheesesteaks. We went to Geno's first cuz it looked cooler with the lights and all, then we were still hungry so we went across the street to Pat's to compare as well as to fill our stomachs. Geno's was better, no further comment. Then we went around the city, which was prob a bad idea cuz it was raining and I was still sick...oh well...just don't tell my mom... Then we went to this one Persian place to eat appetizers and to smoke some quality hookah. It was mixed with grape which made it really smooth. It was awesome. Then we went back to Raj's and played some drunken pool and then made drunken phone calls and im's. Then we woke up the next day to go skiing (shhhh don't tell my parents, I wasn't allowed to go cuz I was still sick). Skiing was sweet. We were the only ones there and the lift ticket was cheap too. It was Wil's first time skiing. He kicked ass for a first timer. I was a 4th grader my first time and it took me like an hour to get down the main green trail. Every time I go skiing (my last time being 5 yrs ago), I have to relearn how to ski. Then I remember after a few runs. We mastered the green and blue slopes, and Raj almost mastered he freestyle terrain trail, but he kept eating it bad after a huge jump in the middle of the trail. I got some sweet pics of the jump. We didn't attempt any black diamonds cuz 1. we weren't good enough, 2. it was foggy as hell, and 3. there was a big ass sign that said, "NO FALLING ZONE, EXPERTS ONLY. FALLS MAY RESULT IN SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH." Yeah, we decided against trying the black trails. Then we had an interesting trip home cuz it was rediculously foggy, like 25 ft visibility. We also didn't print out reverse driving directions so we played a nice guessing game of navigation. Luckily, we skipped a bunch of turns and still ended up home. Then we chilled for a bit, and decided to take a quick nap before playing more drunken pool. Before the nap, we played with the cat, Piko. I learned a very important lesson when dealing with cats: DO NOT pick your nose and offer the booger to the cat because the cat will attack you. Umm, this was a hypothetical situation btw... Then we took a quick nap, but I never actually woke up from it until the next morning...oops... It turned out that no woke up either. Then we spent the next day singing karaoke (videos were taken, don't even bother asking to see them). Then I got back home late and passed out. Now I need to do some last minute laundry...I think it would be my 10th load of laundry this break. Then I have to do a bunch of other stuff. Then I hope to see some people breifly before I go back to Boston tomorrow for some hardcore studying and academic hell. Oh yeah, finally some great news! Josh is coming back to BU on Sunday!! Party time... |

| Happy New Year |
[Jan. 4th, 2005|09:53 pm] |
It's been a while since my last entry...and by a while I mean 6-7 months. Although it's a new year, I still don't really have anything interesting to write.
I've done 8 loads of laundry since I've come home. I've worked at my dad's office (secretarial work and lots of online window shopping). I've eaten food. I bought some clothes. I got some cool stuff for Christmas.
Time is going by too quickly. Break's almost over, only one more weekend. I'm going back to Boston on the 15th. Unfortunately, I wasn't able to get tickets to the BU vs BC hockey game at the new arena. I just wanna check out the new $100 million+ arena.
I need to start planning out the rest of my break so I can spend quality time with older and newer friends. I have 10 days left to do stuff.
Hopefully this new year will be much better. Ok time to do more laundry. Peace. |

| More than you wanted to know... |
[Jun. 7th, 2004|12:23 am] |
So you know how people write about personal stuff that we don't care to know in their online journals? Well, I've finally come up with my own example:
"So, like, today I took a piss (in the toilet derrrrr). Then my eyez started to burn and I was like, holy crap omg omg omg omg omg omg omg omg omg omg omg omg! OMG it burns!! I realized that I took a piss in a bowl full of Clorox bleach. Ughhhh how gross!"
Ummm yeah...unfortunately, this was a true story (minus the stupid valley girl writing style).
I may write a serious entry next time...actually I probably won't. |

I've been forgetting to update my LJ.
Gosh darn.
I ceased to exist for the final month of school.
The engineering gods kidnapped me.
I had five finals.
They sucked.
Oh well.
I finished finals on the 8th.
I'm done with sophomore year.
Yay.
I've forgotten what I've done in the past month.
I've been back home for two weeks now.
Matt and Dustin came over for the night.
It was cool.
Then we went to Alina's in Philly.
The Crazian was let loose again that night.
It was cool.
I hope to take more weekend trips to various friends' places.
I started work on the 17th.
Not so cool.
Ummm.
Yeah.
Once again I've posted a crappy entry.
IM me to suggest topics about what I should write about.
Ok.
Time for Shrek 2.
Bye. |

| killing off some time by writing like everyone who has an lj (listing every single little thing) |
[Apr. 23rd, 2004|04:29 pm] |
so some interesting things have happened since my last entry:
aside from waking up, brushing my teeth, eating, and sleeping, other things have happened:
on saturday april 17, 2004 at 4pm, my buddy dwight got confirmed and i was his sponsor. what an exciting time for him. then all of us had dinner afterwards. then we celebrated (fill in your interpretation of "celebration" here __________ )
on sunday april 18, 2004 i forgot what i did...
on marathon monday april 19, 2004, we didn't have class for patriots day (no one really knows what this day is or why we get it off, but i'm not complaining...it gives boston and the state of massachusetts a reason to get trashed and enjoy the beautiful weather)
it was a great day for normal people, but for the psychos like me who started, struggled through, and finished the marathon, the weather sucked (please correct this crappy and most likely grammatically incorrect sentence in a comment). it was way too hot and humid.
i don't even know why i ran the marathon. i haven't really run since high school. oh well, i finished the race and that's that. come join me in next year.
while i was running laura said the following happened:
Laura: ok so my friend was watching the marathon
Laura: and this runner was running and all of us sudden he had this huge bulge as the back of his shorts
Laura: so while he is running he reaches into the back of his shorts pulls out his shit and throws it on the ground
^this guy should have won the marathon.
420 was pretty uneventful. i had class. i had to work on a project. the only thing that i can really remember is that some STUPID LADY crashed her car into a hearse while parallel parking. what a @#$%ing dumb@#$! i have some pics of it (and a video of me yelling at her from my 8th floor window)
april 21, 2004 1130h i got a root canal. it wasn't bad at all. it didn't hurt at all. i just remember having a booger in my nose that was numb...interesting feeling.
martin yan (yan can cook) came that night to bu dining halls. i didn't get to see him. boo hoo. wahhhh.
more school work and stuff after that... blah blah blah...i just wasted 12 minutes of my time writing about the past week. i dunno how people can write all their crap in these online journals. it's such a waste of my time. i don't see what's so great about this. however, people are addicted to this for some reason. oh well i don't care. if you really want to, please correct all the grammar mistakes in this entry. this entry sucks in terms of grammar for two reasons 1) i don't care about writing properly for a pointless online journal and 2) i'm an engineer
i mentioned the word addiction in the paragraph above. if you wanna have something else to be addicted to, join www.thefacebook.com it'll waste so much of your time. i recommend it to stalkers and to people who need a excuse to procrastinate (and make "friends" <-- and by friends i mean accepting someone's invitation to be put on his/her "friends" list...i'm guessing more than 95% of the members accept the invitations even if they aren't friends with the person (or even know them) yay friends!)
ok time to go...i wasted 15 minutes of my time when i could have been studying diff eq, prob and stats, microecon, bio, and electric circuit theory...oops... |
