I am terribly sorry for the lateness of this. I've been meaning to write it all day, but I've been out/busy with classes and works...
1) Today in programming studio we got our tests back. I didn't get as high as I would've liked, but I still got above average, which in college is always a good thing. They have yet to release the curve, but anyone in the top 60% get A-C's. Shooting for a B, but hopefully a high one!
2) This Monday I have my first Discrete Mathematics test, so I'll be studying a lot this weekend for that. Today was a review day. I got most of the first half stuff, but still need to work on the second half. People volunteered to do problems on the board for points on the test, so I already have 2 points working towards it. =)
3) Tonight I went to this Computer Exploitation workshop/competition. Some speakers from a hacking convention came and talked about security, hacking, and overall computer stuff. There was also a competition in jeopardy style with questions on x86 programming, debugging, etc. I originally came thinking I'll just have fun and learn, but then I started answering some of the questions right. They were really difficult questions too, on stuff I never learned before. And I ended the night with third place! And what's cooler is the top 3 get gift certificates! So yay to that!
Alright, I'm gonna go back to work, and tomorrow I'll actually update on time!!

On time, whoa!!
First to clarify, I typically mean see you next "woobadoowah" meaning next time there's a blog post. However, next weekend, I will actually be seeing you!! Okay, so with that bit o' business out of the way, onto the- THE BIG THREE!!
1) My ECE 190 test actually went better than I thought it would be. I studied a lot and we were given a cheat-sheet so I felt pretty well prepared. The actual test had 6 problems. The first one was just (1) binary representation so that was super easy, I think I got all points for it. (2) Memory was a bit challenging so I'm kind of worried for that. Then was (3) debugging which I think I pretty much got. After that was (4) finite state machines, which I also think I got all credit for. Then (5) LC-3 logic which was all true-false, so I think I got most of them, but a couple were a little weary. The last question- (6) Assembly Programming- was a little challenging, but I think I got it. Fingers crossed to a good grade! =D
2) I got back from my test around 9:30 last night, and then had a four page paper due this morning. So I was up until 3 or so working on that. I somewhat procrastinated on it, but wanted to spend as much time over the weekend studying for my test. And the paper wasn't that bad, just now I'm kinda tired. It was for leadership class and we had to write about different theories/approaches to leadership and discuss our personal growth.
3) After class today, some friends and I went rock climbing at the Athletic Recreation Center (ARC). It's been months since I last climbed, so I was a little out of it, but I managed to go up 3 5.8 level routes. (A 5.8 grade is about medium-hard difficulty).
Well, now I'm gonna get started working on other homeworks. Take care now!!

12:34 O'Clock
I know this is technically 34 minutes late, but I wanted to write this at 12:34. (But by the time this publishes, it'll probably be a bit later than that.) Okay, so with intro's out of the way, let's get onto the Big Three!!
1) This morning I woke up and had kind of a headache. I think lack of sleep and then inability to go back to sleep. So I took the morning kind of easy. Oh, I caught up and watched new HIMYM and new Office (and Community, but I don't know how much you care about that). HIMYM was really good, but you shouldn't watch it until you're caught up. Did you return Greg's DVDs by the way? And The Office, while not great, wasn't so bad. They reveal the new manager, and I won't spoil it in case you still plan to watch it. And Community, though you don't watch it, was really good. Real funny stuff on all three sides.
2) This afternoon I had a ECE review session which was overall pretty helpful. A couple more hours of studying will help, but I'm not so worried about the test.
3) Then tonight, some friends and I went to this Chinese restaurant for dinner. They don't serve dinner at Hendrick on Sunday nights. I got a fried rice dish and egg drop soup. They also give a LOT of food, so I have a lot of leftovers in my fridge.
Hope all is going well, and see you on Tuesday. I'll let you know how my test goes. Bye now!!

Saturday Study Day
Hello, dear readers. Actually updating on time, it's a Saturday. So without further ado, let's get onto, the Big Three! Woo!! (See that rhyming? =D)
1. What's the best way to start out a day? Oh, how about a fire drill at 6:30 am? Woke up with the alarm blaring and then had to get outside. First made sure my roommate and suitemates were on their way out. Then we all stood out in the early morning while the firefighters checked all the rooms to make sure everybody made it. Needless to say, it was not much fun.
2. Second thing is even more not as much fun! This afternoon I both worked on homework and studied. I have my first ECE 190 exam this Monday, so I've been studying a lot for that. I also helped one friend grade some papers. It was a little over an hour of work and he's paying me $25, so it's a pretty good deal! =)
3. I noticed I was highly sarcastic in the last two things, so this time I will be genuinely something good that happened. Yesterday I went out for lunch and found a new restaurant that's actually really good! It's called Noodles Doodles and has cheap, good noodles! Oh, and another good thing that happened yesterday, is I took a quiz I was worried about but turned out to be pretty easy. So yay to that!!
Alright, bye now. See you tomorrow!!

Almost the Weekend!!
It's almost the weekend, woo!! Do you know what that means? It means I can study cuz I's gots a midterm on Monday! Anyways, onto the Big Three! And... GO!
1. Alright, not much of anything super interesting or notable really happened today... I'll just run through each of my classes then. Starting out was Leadership, and we talked about Emotional Intelligence. That's how well you gauge your own emotions and those of others. After that was ECE 190, and we started talking about assembly language programming and input output devices (mouse, keyboard, monitor, etc.) Then I had lunch, and afterwards was Interaction Arts. My art classes today weren't so much fun though... We went through a class room critique on eachother's user interfaces, so not too exciting. Then in Time Arts, we just brainstormed short film ideas to do over the weekend. So yeah, those were my classes!
2. Last night I went to the programming lab to do some homework. It was a nice change of pace to just working in my room or the lounge. =)
3. And then tonight, I did (A) homework, (B) homework, or (C) homework? If you guess D, all of the above, you're right!! Haha, I did basic discrete mathematics, which is due tomorrow. We also have a quiz, so I'm gonna be getting to bed after this.
To all my readers out there, good night!!

So sorry, late post!!
Today is Wednesday, doing a post meant for yesterday, and for that, I'm sorry! To make up for it, I'm gonna do a... BIG FOUR!! (This will not become a thing, alright, just for this post. Tomorrow it's back to the Big Three.)
1) On Monday, I started my new job as an iEFX ELA (Illinois Engineering Freshman Experience Educational Learning Assistant). Wow, that's a mouth full... I can see why they use the initialism. On Monday, it was just introductions, we formed teams, and started thinking about potential projects for the semester. I'm in charge of a group that takes a pre-existing product and improves it somehow (makes it easier to use, more efficient, etc.) I don't have to actually do any work for it, but I just have to watch over and facilitate. Today was my second day and we did more brainstorming on what they want to do. So far they seem to be in a pretty good place, and looks like they have a good semester ahead of them!
2) Normally, I really love my art class. Time based arts deals with film and animation, which are really cool to work with, and a nice complement to my technical classes. However, yesterday in class, we saw this very long, very boring film called Russian Ark. It was all done in a single take- which was pretty impressive. But there was no plot, little character development, and could've been much shorter. Our next project is doing a film all in one take, but at least we're doing short films. I'll post whatever I do, once it's finished!
3) Today I had a lunch with other people in Informatics- information technology. We all had Jimmy Johns (for free!) and talked about the club and minor. Pretty interesting stuff and both art classes I'm taking right now apply for it as well.
4) And then this afternoon, I went for a run with a friend. She's training for the Chicago marathon, but I just went for fun. We only did 3 miles, which didn't feel so bad, and the weather was amazing today!
Alright, well, once again, sorry about the late update. I'll get Thursday on time. TTFN!!

Not-so-Sunny Sunday
Rain, rain, go away, come again some other day. Yeah, so today's a pretty rainy day. Doesn't mean it can't be a good day with plenty of stuff to update for the- you guessed it- BIG THREE!!
1) This morning, Mrs. Quigley picked me up to go to church service. In Jin Nim's sermon was pretty inspiring. I missed the first part, so I was a little lost when she was referring to a story she told. Afterwards the church held a rally to support True Parents after the events with Hyun Jin Moon and the Kwak family were pretty deep. They spoke about absolute love, absolute faith, and absolute obedience- values that are crucial but not really expressed in the Western world. Also it seemed like the story of Cain and Abel along with the prodigal son story had present-day parallels. I'm not sure how things are going to turn out, but hopefully the church can be united once again.
2) After church, I had a video effects workshop. The guy who was suppose to teach was 15 minutes late, and then had to go home to get a cable so we didn't start until 45 minutes afterward! It was pretty interesting though. We went over AfterEffects and he spoke a bit about using the green screen. There's gonna be another workshop next week, so I think I'll be there for that too.
3) And then tonight some friends and I got together and went to Qdoba. It's kind of like Chipotle- burritos and other Mexican food- so it all tasted pretty good. Now I'm back to working on schoolwork. I have a choice of either working on math, extra credit for interaction arts, or get started on a leadership essay. I think I'll go with the math and then the other two. So, yeah, fun night ahead of me.
Bye now!!

Saturday Post
Here we are with yet another update!
Every time I try to use some spiffy intro, but now, I'll just jump into it.
Yeah, so let's go with the... BIG THREE!!
How should I start? Oh, last night, some friends and I saw The Lion King 3D!
It was pretty good. The 3D didn't add too much, but it was cool seeing it in
Theaters. There are so many little jokes I've missed out on in the past.
Or all the complexities of the animation that I never appreciated till now.
My one friend didn't remember the story, so she was shocked when Mufasa died.
It was a fun night overall.
Ending the fun today was just loads and loads of studying.
Love life while you can, cuz in college, the workload really ramps up!
Like I had to write a program in just 1's and 0's, along with writing algorithms.
It's a lot of work, but pretty interesting I suppose.
Excited that I'm done with all my school work for now, at least!
Today I also worked out at the ARC. That stands for
Athletic Recreation Center. The place is huge and they have so much equipment!
Now I'm really tired, but the good kind of tired.
And now I believe it's time to bed. I'm pretty tired and my arms are
Killing me! Alright, well, time for sleep. I just want to wish you
All a good night and update tomorrow! Bye now!!

The Fifteenth Day of the Ninth Month of the Two Thousand Eleventh Year
Another way of saying Thursday! Well, I did have some snazzy intro, but let's just get on with the- Say it with me!- BIG THREE!!
1) Yesterday it was raining. Bleh. And I left my umbrella in my room! In the morning, I went to a career and spoke with some people about possible internships. I looked at Shutterfly (photo company) and Ooyala (a video company), which really interested me. After the job fair, I got lunch and then went to my job training. I start this Monday, so I'll give an update with how that goes!
2) After my job training and class yesterday, I went to the art building and finished up my art project. I thought it turned out pretty well. But instead of me telling you, let me show you and you tell me what you think!
3) I got out of class early today so I was actually able to get dinner! And I'm really glad too, because we had the most amazing dessert ever! Flambe Bananas! It was a sundae with bananas, on fire! It tasted really good, I hope they make it again.
Until next time, bye now!!

Sun's Day
Hello again! It is Sunday, er... Almost over with Sunday. And you know what that means? It means blog update, with the Big Three! So let's get this wagon train a rolling!! Aaaaaaaand, go!
1) Today was a work day. Seems to be a lot of those in college. I spent the afternoon working on my interaction art class, which was pretty fun. I've gotten much better with HTML and CSS. Just a little lesson in case you wanted to know. HTML is the backbone of internet webpages. It tells what content is placed where and whatnot. And then CSS is the complement which styles the information to make it look like the interesting sites we have now. Both go hand-in-hand to make up websites. So that's it with the little lesson of the day!
2) For dinner, some friends and I went off-campus to this Vietnamese restaurant and had pho. It's a noodle dish with meat on top in this really tasty broth. Afterwards we went grocery shopping and I got a couple snacks for my dorm. Writing this makes me hungry. I'm gonna get food after this!!
3) And number 3... Hm... Besides working and getting dinner, I didn't really do too much else today. Oh, I was able to talk with Mehdi. I told you how he came back to home, and now is living in Chicago, but we haven't had a chance to catch up with each others' lives, until last night. It's good to finally talk with him again. He seems to be doing well and plans to go to the Art Institute and then possibly transfer to the School of the Arts (with a much better program).
Anyway, all for now, I'll talk to you again this Tuesday. Bye!!

Saturn's Day
I was about to forget. I was about to hold this post off until tomorrow, but do you know what stopped me? I went onto Facebook and saw one of my readers online. For one of the few times Facebook has actually been helpful. If I had been on Google+, things might have been much differently. Well, without further contemplating alternate universes, let's get onto the... TRES LARGOS!!
Uno) Yo tengo una dia fantastico... Okay, I'm going to go back to English. Today was the Treehouse Society start of the year picnic! This afternoon I went onto the quad and we ate food and played games. Our first game was called Hamburger, and you have to get into groups of two if someone calls milkshake (one person is the cup, the other acts out a straw); three if they call french fries, four for hamburger, and five for cheeseburger. If ever you're caught without a group, you're out! After that we played Ninja. Which I'm sure, er... I hope you're heard of before! I'll show you next time I come home if you don't know it. And the next game we played was Sharks and Minos/tag. After that, everyone was pretty tired, so we just sat around and talked. Overall, it was a really fun afternoon!
2) For the rest of today I worked on homework. I got all my math and ECE and most of my interaction arts done. Not overly interesting, but pretty productive.
3) And lastly, tonight I did a workout. It felt really good, but now I'm feeling pretty sore...
Anyway, until tomorrow, bye now!!

Thor's Day
Hello, dear readers. We're back, and updating on time. Whoa! Craziness, I know! You better believe it! So, with all the fun and frillies out of the way, let's get on to the... Dun da da daaa!! BIG THREE!
1) Yesterday was the Engineering Study Abroad fair. I checked it out and got some info on Japan. Still need to figure a lot of stuff out (moneys!) but it would be awesome to spend a semester or year over there.
2) Last night was also the first Treehouse Society event. It was just an informational, meet-n-greet thing, but still great to see everyone again. We have our start of the year picnic this Saturday. I'll let you know how it goes on that post!
3) And today, as you know with my Tuesday and Thursdays is my busy busy day! I had Leadership- we talked about our core values and what is important to us. Character Counts tries to push forward the leading values in people. Then in ECE 190 we talked about the instruction set architecture of the LC-3. It wasn't so bad, but things are starting to pick up in the class. After that I had Interaction arts where we went over HTML and CSS (both mark up languages used to make websites), so that was cool. And in Time Arts we started stop motion films. My partner and I are doing a 2D, construction animation. We just made all the objects and characters today and will start filming on Monday/Tuesday.
Anyway, that's the run-through my day. Now I haven't gotten dinner yet so I'm getting late night. Bye now!!

Back! Some Things Don't Change.
Well, after being home for the weekend and not updating, we're back! And some things don't change, like my idea "I'll update at the end of the day, but then miss it until the following morning!" I'll work on that and Thursday's update will be sometime in the middle so I don't end up missing it. So, now that we got that stuff out of the way, ONTO THE BIG THREE!
1) I got back Monday night around 11:30. Had a couple things to finish up on for homework, but overall wasn't so bad. I realized I work a lot better in my dorm room than I do at home. I suppose that's since at home, I want to do so much stuff, whereas here, I just have to study/work. Either way, it was great being back for the weekend and able to see some of my readers in person!
2) Yesterday (Tuesday) was my busy day. I have two 80 minute classes and two 3 hour ones. The one good, kinda bad thing is in art classes, I'm completely on top of everything for the next week and a half. We started two projects and me and my partner are already pretty much done with it. So yay to that, not yay to sitting around for a while.
3) And then last night I had a workout. Just went downstairs to lift, so it wasn't that bad. I didn't work out all weekend, so it felt good to be back.
Alright, bye and see you next Thursday, on Thursday!!

One More Day Until I Come Home For the Weekend!!
I believe the title says it all! Tomorrow I'm coming home for the weekend! And I know how most weekends come in the two-pack variety, but not this one! Three days off, three days on for awesomeness!! =D
So, don't you know, let's get a go, big three, yo!
1) Last night I worked out in the gym downstairs. And then for the rest of today my arms and legs were killing me. I originally intended to just spend half hour, but then another friend stopped by and we ended up lifting for an hour. It's a good kind of tired, but I'm still sore... And in related, tonight (Thursday night) I went for a run. It was only 5 miles or so, but the weather outside was pretty hot so it was kinda hard. I can't wait to go biking again though!
2) Today in ECE 190 we talked about memory (computer memory!) and finite state machines. I'm understanding it a lot more, and now this stuff is a lot more interesting- 11:11! By the way!- It's amazing how such complex systems are build from simple parts.
3) And tonight it was a friend's birthday. So we got him a cake and had a little celebration for him downstairs. Nice little break from the norm!
Well, good night and see you tomorrow!!
