1 number closer to a score.

I totally forgot about a January update so i'll make this a long one. Since the last update i had 2 and a half week of winterbreak followed by three weeks of spring semester. This semester I am reminded of why i hated biology. I have not taken biology since freshman year high school and I avoided taking IB Biology in Senior Year. Even though I don't like it, I wish I could learn more about it. For the first time in a long time, i'm reading the textbook not because I have to, but because I want to. I never do this for math, history, or english unless it was for an assignment. The rest of my class are pretty good, math seems to be easy to understand since I already took IB HL, the same goes for Chemistry. My communication class is kinda fun especially when the professor starts laughing at his own jokes. The class laughs along but not because the joke was funny, but because he sounds funny.
Today was another day of snow shoveling similar to the one in December, also a sunday if im correct. But this winter storm was much worse and there was so much snow behind my family cars. The plow truck didn't do much on my street and only opened up enough room for 1 car to move through. Thank God i do not have school tomorrow, February 8, so I can have a special relaxing day and then go eat with the family at night.
Today was also the Super Bowl, however, I don't watch football. I assumed the Colts were going to win seeing as how they were just there recently. I checked the score in the third quarter and it was 13-17 Colts lead. I was thinking, close but expected, and then I updated myself on the final score and saw the Saint's score totally flipped. 31-17, holy crap. GG saints. Both of my sisters probably would'hv wanted the Colts to win, but they weren't able to come home and watch it with me due to the snow.
Still watching a crapload of anime, thought I was going to be watching less cause of school but i still manage to finish series within a couple of days. I'm such a loser, what was i doing before without anime? Napping probably. I think watching too much of these anime is isolating me from reality and is changing my preference on few things. I need to get back out and enjoy life with some real people, like bowling with some friends.
I still feel like a kid, its hard compare myself to my oldest sister when she was my age. At the time I was only 13 yet by then she experienced so much more than I have now. I feel that I am too sheltered compared to them. Also people say I look like i'm still in highschool. Is it cause i'm not built? Or maybe the lack of facial hair. My manager saw me come to work friday morning and shes like, "What are you doing here? Aren't you suppose to be in highschool?" And i was like whoa how long have you been my manager. (A while actually, in fact, we had a conversation about senior prom last year). It seems like from age 15-18 every year comes new priviledges. 15 we were excited to get our learner's permit. 16 We could get our driver's license. 17 we could buy r-rated movie tickets and Rate M video games. Age 18 we can sign our own documents, buy porn, cigarettes, lottery, join the military, bear arms, etc etc. What comes with 19? Just the sad reality of your teenage life ending...Even though i still feel like a kid, i'm getting old.

Farewell 2009

It is the end of a wonderful year, full of so many great memories. I wanted to list the great memories but i would just be restating all of my previous post. But this year will have a great impact on my life. Life after highschool is no longer the same. I feel that I am at a point in my life where I could not possibly ask for anything more. Here's to one of the best years of my life (so far). Happy New Years and best of luck for 2010.

Christmas!

What a relaxing break it has been. Since the last update, i've eated nearly 50 wings from Buffalo Wings Factory (in two days), spent almost 200 dollars in holiday shopping, watched 70 episodes of anime, shoveled nearly 3 feet of snow around my cars in the parking lot, worked about 5 hours at bertucci, played tennis while there was snow outside, played lots of video games, visited various malls, and enjoyed priceless hours with my family. I got back my grades from first semester pretty soon after my break started. It goes:
Calc 1:A
Chemistry:A+
English:A-
Astronomy:A
I was so suprised i got an A in astronomy because i did so badly on the unit exams. I think he either dropped a test or curved everyone's grade, i almost regretted taking that class if i were to end up with a B. Overall, i was very satisfied with my grades for first semester considering the effort i put into it. The best part is, i still have almost 4 weeks of winter break left!!! I imagine that its only going to be filled with more video games and anime. And maybe a little working out.
For christmas i got 150 dollars cash from my two sisters, and black and white chucks. My parents are going to cover my tuition for spring semester and my oldest sister is planning to take me laptop shopping. 2009 was a great year and holds so many great memories. From 18th birthday, prom, graduation, myrtle beach, virginia beach, first semester college, halloween, thanksgiving/blackfriday, and now christmas. Probably the best year of my life so far....

Winter Break!

Wooooo Last day of fall semester class today! Today I had three finals, an astronomy final at 7:30 AM, math final at 10:30 AM, and chem final at 12:30 PM. Had to wake up at 5 AM and it felt great. It sucked to take all three exams back to back but now im done and i dont have to come back till Jan 11! My overall thought about college after one semester is that it is pretty awesome. You control when you go to class, you always have friends to hang out with (if you have friends), and theres so much more time to do other things. Next semester i'm going to have every friday off and monday/wednesday i will be home by 2 pm. Even better semester, cept in the end i will have to worry about 4 finals instead of 3. Today i think i lost so much hair. While doing all of my exams my hand was scratching and rubbing my hair so much, that i found so many strands of hair fall on my test. I think i have bad test anxiety. Also since the desk are so low i have to look down so much and it hurts my neck. I hope this doesnt happen again next semester. Now looking forward for an awesome winter break, the first month long winter break. Going to do stuff with friends, work out, play some source, do some shopping. Hope everybody will have a great holiday!

Post-Halloween Update.

Somewhat of a good week. I had two exams, both of which i felt i only got a B on. I haven't gotten the result yet but i know i missed at least 6 wrong on the astronomy exam on a 50 question. That means at least 12 points are lost meaning i lost the A and can only hope for a B. However for chem i got 3 wrong(i think) off the 20 question exam. But when the professor sent home the grading scale he is using, he said 85 and above is an A. So if i only missed 3, i got the minimum A! I think thats because half of the class is failing. My chemistry class is so huge, like 260 kids?, but only about 150 show up each time.
For the first time in a long time, i am really getting stressed out by Bertucci's, almost makes me want to stop working. Co-workers are whining and acting so selfish, and I am the one trying to please everyone. Covering shift, closing more, doing more work, just because I am too nice. I can't even get a request to get halloween night off. I had wrote it in the book over a month early but nope, didnt get it. However 3 other co-workers got that night off, wtf? I should be one of the most reliable and favored employee there. Why am i getting screwed? this isnt the first time it happened. One weekend, 5 of us requested the same weekend off, including myself, and i had to not only work through it, but work two double shifts back to back. I had to miss out on two graduation parties. But i wasnt so sad about that because i didn't really want to go to these parties that badly and working that weekend was actually pretty fun. The cutest waitress was asked to work with me to fill in the absent workers, and we had a pretty good time. (don't get any ideas, shes 20). I've been working here for nearly a year and a half now, it has become a part of my life. I've been so accustomed to everyone and being there weekly, that i don't want to get a different job yet. The extra money makes life so much better than mooching off parents. Gas money, food money, and independent spending. I don't know how much longer i will work there, maybe if i save enough money up until the end of summer 2010, i might stop working.

Halloween was pretty good, even though i had to work. The restaurant was so dead, so the manager cut me off early. All my co-workers heard about my denied request for halloween off and all let me leave first. I worked from 5-6:30, and they let me leave! First time in a while i had something to appreciate my co-workers about. Also i guess working that night gave me another good thing, since my manager apologized that she didnt let me off, i forgave her and asked her to put this into consideration for my next request for thanksgiving weekend off. That day i want to use all my money and shop like crazy. Give myself a reward for not shopping in a long time and working hard to lessen my burden for my parents. After i left, me and the guys went to eat at Buffalo Wing Factory. Great wings and Chicken fingers, but i didnt really like the service there. Twice i've been there and i swear both were not perfect in getting what we ordered.

Now that october is behind, we can look forward to November and December! The holiday seasons, a great time to realize the friendships and families we have. Can't wait to see what we do for Black friday and how we spend our thanksgiving break. Theres only like 5 weeks of school left this semester. Got to stay focus and get the straight As.

Midterm evaluation
Astronomy 103:A
Gen Chem 211:A
Math 113:A
Eng 101:B+ (Of course....)

Time to get back on track.

Its only been a week since my last update but i feel like writing more to my nonexisting audience(cept the friends who are following me). I am beginning to use this blog not only to talk to my friends who are following me, but also myself. It is easier to see my thoughts and to get whatever i need out of my system without it really affecting anyone. Which is how i like it, expressing myself without affecting anybody, unlike those loud mouth people who has to get their point across to everybody. U know what im talking about, the ones that update their status or facebook with something like, "FUCK THIS SHIET" or "FML" or "WTF". No one gives a shiet about ur story and if you don't feel like talking about it, dont put it in your status, where everyone can see. Why should u notify people that you are angry or or sad, this only get people to grow concern of your case and cannot resist to be curious about it.
ex.
Status Update: John Smith is FUCKING ANGRY
Pocahantis: Whats wrong?
John Smith:I don't want to talk about it

Now what was the point of that? If you don't to talk about it dont announce it, simple as that. Let me ask you guys, have i ever let my emotions take me over? It seems that i am emotionless or calm most of the time because i do not let my emotions affect people who are not important to me. I hide it, store it inside of me and let it build, just like my gas after eating at chipotle. But unlike gas, my anger or sadness just goes away instead of exploding. I created an image of myself as a nice and calm guy. Sometimes people see it as apathetic or insensitive but thats how i like it. I do not let many things affect me as it does to other people. I can't understand why people are not able to do that and has to make a big deal of everything. Anyways enough about that. I didnt write all of this because of something that happened recently, its just always been a pet peeve of mine for a long time. Just needed to find a way to explain it to myself.

I am writing this blog in the middle of my 4 page essay. Now i am 2.5 pages in progress but decided to write in here to relieve some stress. School is the same, i am still spending more money on nasty over priced food at mason. I have been neglecting my summer resolutions which were:
-No soda/less Sugar (Had delicious rich Godiva Chocolate last night)
-No Fast Food (Had Papajohn's pizza, popeyes, Taco Bell, chick fil-a,)
-No Starbucks (actually i am successful with this one)
-No Bertucci's (Had pizza last week)
-No eating after 9 PM (ate 30 minutes ago)
-Have at least 1-2 hours of exercise daily
-Eat Breaskfast (this is still holding up too)
-STOP EATING OUT. (Fail 3 times a week)

I need to refamiliarize myself with this and get back on track. I don't know how much weight i got back after losing nearly 10 lbs this summer. Apparently an accurate scale doesnt seem to exist within my reach. Time to get back on my essay now. Only the draft is due so it doesnt have to be perfect. As soon as i hit page 5 i am going to save and print. For those who actually read this, this might be something new about me that i haven't really told anyone.

October Update

Wow school is going by pretty fast. Finished with the 5th week of school, about 1/3 through the semester. Im so thankful college uses the 10 point grading system where 90 and above is an A. Got a 92 on my Astronomy exam, 92 on my chemistry exam, but wtf, i got a 79 on my calc exam???? Calculus, after taking HL math, should be the easiest thing. I was so dumb cuz i made alot of stupid mistakes on the exam. I knew everything, so i skipped alot of class and i guess wasnt really preparing for the test. Oh and another thing, taking test in a cramp lecture class is the worst. It is so uncomfortable taking a test with someone 3 inches to my left and to my right. Also with such a tiny little desk. I could not stand it so i finished my test within 30-40 minutes and left early. Now the weather is getting colder and im still finding it hard to add exercise to my schedule. And i continue to waste money on food at school. This is not going as well as I would like. Life would be so much better if i didnt have a job, have loaded parents, and have a super fast metabolism and naturally get buff like black people do. Now im gonna save up and invest money in home equipments for working out. The gym at school isn't really fitting my schedule. Now just waiting for halloween and wanting this semester to be over....
