Hello there! Firstly, apologies for this being a couple hours late. But as a wise monkey once said, it doesn't matter! It's in the past! So moving onward, let's do the... BIG THREE!
1. Today a group of friends and I went to curtis orchards. Over there they have apples, pumpkins, basically everything when you think of "autumn." It was really fun, I didn't buy a bag of apples (mostly because it cost $9 for a little bag), but I "sampled" different varieties and they are really good. Then we went pumpkin picking. Now, I decided to either go the super huge, or super small route. No where in between. And since the super huge ones are more expensive, I got the tiniest pumpkin they got, and plan to carve it. Wish me luck! After the orchard, we went back to this grove area and had a fire with hotdogs. It was a good day. =)
2. But the day was not over yet! That night, two friends of mine who are in a band were playing a concert. So a group and I got together to help support them. My friends were actually pretty good- guitarist and bassist. But after they went on there was- can you guess it?- If you said death metal band, you'd be right. I don't really understand the appeal of loud unintelligible lyrics being screamed over drums and guitar. At least it wasn't as bad as the time we listened to death metal in the library, haha. (And by "we" I mean one of my readers and I.)
3. After the concert, we (And by "we" I mean the group of friends I was with) went back to a friend's apartment and we just hung out and watched anime. That's actually the reason for this post being so late. No access to a computer! Haha, well anyway, I'll catch up with you later today. Take care!!

Thursday, On time!
Whoa, stop the presses, stop the world! A post, at a reasonable honor, actually on time? Could it be true?! You better believe it! Cuz it's here. And the Big Three are coming at you right about... NOW!
1) Yesterday I updated my ipod to iOS5. On the plus side, I got a ton of new features, but on the negative side, I lost all my music... Which kinda sucks, a lot. But at least now it runs faster and when I redownload stuff, I'll only get the songs I want. One of the features I really like are the notifications and to-do list. That's actually helped me be more productive!
2) Today I got one of my tests back, the one for leadership. I got 149/150! I really hope my math test is that good. I'll find out tomorrow!
3) Today's my long day for classes. I had Leadership (which I got my test back, which I talked about), then ECE 190. In that, we talked about C functions. I understand it for the most part. Once we get into pointers, then I'll have to start paying a lot more attention! This afternoon I had Interaction, where we're working on a gesture based user interface for an MP3 player. It's pretty fun to see what others come up with. After that is Time Arts, we all made different soundscapes so today we did a critique on it.
Alright, now this is a shout-out to one of my most dedicated readers out there. Could you look through the pictures on the family external harddrive and email any pics that have myself teaching animation to me? Much thanks!! Until next time, bye now!

Getting back into the swing of things!
Hello, sorry for the late update! Last night I was really busy and then today I haven't yet had a chance to update, but now I do, so I will!
1) Last night, my roommate, a friend on our floor, and I went over to Taco Bell at midnight (since both of them haven't ever had it before!) And then Luai (my roommate) and I were talking until about 3 am or so. We talked just about life, our ambitions, values, that deep kinda stuff. It's good to get to know him more and become closer as opposed to just two people living in the same room.
2) Then after staying up so late, I forgot to set my alarm clock. And this morning I had an important adviser meeting that I couldn't miss. I woke up exactly 20 minutes before the meeting and was able to make it on time! I don't know if it's just my biological clock, or someone up there loves me, but it was really amazing!
3) This afternoon I had my ELA job and then discrete mathematics class. My group is still waiting for materials to come in, so today they were pretty unproductive. We went to the computer lab and they did some research online, but there wasn't overly too much for them to do. Hopefully next week they'll be ready to get down and do more work!
Anyway, sorry for the lateness and I'll be on time tomorrow. Bye now!!

Last post before coming home!
Alright, Thursday! That means blog update time, and blog update time means Big Three!! Let'sa go!
1) So I took my leadership test this morning. It was really, really easy. There might've been one or two questions I was a little weary on, but for the most part, I got them all. And I'm sure I got the big-point written sections correct, so happy for that!
2) Yesterday you undoubtedly heard that Steve Jobs passed away. He was a genius and visionary and will definitely be missed. I'm really curious on where Apple is gonna go from here. Steve was such an integral part of the company, yet they already have a structure set up to continue going on. I saw this movie- Pirates of Silicon Valley- last night in commemoration of Jobs. It was made in 1999, so the movie was before the booming success of Apple, but still was an interesting story on Apple and Microsoft's beginnings. Maybe we can watch it when I come home.
3) Then today is my long day for classes. They were pretty interesting. In Interaction we talked about gestures and semiotics (study of signs). Then in time arts we talked about sound and music. Interesting to think about all the background noise we ignore throughout most of the day.
Anyway, see you late tomorrow (or one of my readers, that is). Bye now!!

Some creative, witty title that has to do with Tuesday
I say, "Hey! I'll be gone today. But I'll be back coming around the way. Seems like everywhere I go, the more I see, the less I know. But I know. One thing. That I love you!"
Yes, that song has been stuck in my head all day. Pretty good song, so I'm not really complaining. Anyways, without further side- er... top- chatter. Let's go with the Big Three!!
1) On Monday, I had a test in Basic Discrete Mathematics. And it turned out to not be as bad as I thought it would be. A lot of the difficult concepts that I was kinda shakey on- Bernoulli Trials, Bayes's Theorem, geometric progression, etc.- weren't even on the test. So yay! to that. There were still a few kinda tricky problems, but I think for the most part, I did pretty well!!
2) Last night, Steve and I went for a run together. It was the first one in a while. It's still somewhat weird not being his roommate, but I'm making an effort to still stay connected. We did four miles, so that wasn't so bad. And we were able to talk and catch up. I want to try to find the perfect balance between meeting new people and keeping up with current friendships.
3) This Thursday, I have a Leadership test. I'm not so worried about it because a lot of the questions are fairly intuitive, but I've still been studying a bit for it. Hopefully it'll be like my math test and not as bad as expected!! =)
Anyway, I'm going to bed. Kinda surprised I actually made it in! With six minutes to spare!! Good night!

I apologize in advance if this post is kind of short. I've been studying all day and want to get to bed early (since I have a discrete mathematics test tomorrow), but I know I can't go to bed before writing the BIG THREE! So, here we go!
1) This morning I studied and had tea. My friend back home had given me a bunch of tea, but I haven't really been drinking it, so I thought to start now. =) It was really good, a kind of orange spice tea. I really enjoy chai tea though, that's my favorite.
2) Then this afternoon, 10 points to whoever can guess what I did! If you guessed homework and studying, you'd be right! I finished all my math homework, and then worked on my ECE lab. I still have to the the machine problem, but that's not due until Wednesday, so priorities, right? Sundays tend to be fairly productive days.
3) And then tonight for dinner, a bunch of friends and I drove out to McDonalds to eat. We wanted something fast and cheap, so what better place than the golden arches. Unfortunately, most of the conversation was about Supersize Me and the large calorie count of the food, so that wasn't too appetizing. We did get a couple of pieces for the monopoly game. I remember back when we used to be really into it.
Anyway though, time for bed. Talk to you, my dear reader(s) on Tuesday and I'll let you know how my test went. Bye now!!

Hello, it's Saturday which can only mean one thing! Update!! So here a-we a-go!
1. This afternoon was Arboretum Day with Treehouse Society. We all went to the Arboretum- some of my readers know the place- and played kickball, climbed trees, and went by the Japanese Zen Garden. My team won the kickball game, but it was really close! 12 to 11. And guess who made the winning point! =) Then when we climbed trees, guess who made it to the top! Well, I guess that wasn't a competition, but it was still an amazing view. And then we walked through the Japanese garden. It wasn't nearly at the level of the one we went to, but still was very pleasant. It was great seeing the Treehouse Society people again and just hanging out.
2. After the Arboretum Day, I spent the rest of the afternoon studying. I have two tests so I have to get ready for that. Tomorrow will be even more studying, so I have that to look forward to. Woo!!
3. Then tonight, some friends were going to an observatory a couple miles off campus with the astronomical society. They invited me to go with, so tonight we drove out to star gaze. I am so glad I went, the sky was absolutely amazing. It was unlike anything you see in the suburbs or even while camping. We had telescopes and were able to see jupiter! Along with three of its moons. It was a really amazing experience seeing the vastness of the universe and all it has to offer. Truly amazing.
Bye now, see you tomorrow!
