Watch it, loved it :)
Watching it made me realize how much I hate people with bad attitudes...Mainly those who look at themselves as above others. I just hate that ;x
That filthy white american trash of a boxer (not being racist. just hating on this one character!)
I HATE THAT GUY! XD Served him right to lose!
Poor fat guy ;( I didn't want mr. fattypants to die :(
Last one...Class is over today
I love how class is over today.
I hate how I have an exam tonite...and I haven't started studying.
Like seriously? FUCK STUPID TEACHERS THAT SUCK. SCREW THEM.
School NEEDS to be over...before I burn it down...literally T_T"
I thought I don't get pissed easily...but there are actually a few types of people who tick me off FAST [I'll list them some other time when I have time...I already put it on facebook haha]
Anyway...last class blog!
"The End is Near."
I can feel it now...it's coming!
Sooooo close yet so far...totally imaginable, but not very tangible.
I wanna go!

Bah...This "Manufacturing Consent" movie is 3 hours long T_T So long. I just got home at 9:30 from CLASS x.x"
http://www.hulu.com/watch/118171/manufacturing-consent [can also be found on veehd]
bleh...sucks to have a 3 hour night class...
Anyway, some of the articles I read were really interesting but totally irrelevant ;( So sad. Anyway time to figure myself out after this LONG MOVIE is over...
UPDATE: Hmmm It's 3:42 I think I fell asleep during the movie :I it got dull at some points haha...well I read some interesting books...
Some Chomsky Audio/Video: http://www.chomsky.info/audionvideo.htm
UPDATE (again): Fufufufufufufu....7 am already XD...I guess I can run on 2 hours of sleep now o.O [watch it hit me hard later...haha]...The reason I've been taking so long is that I've been so melded into explanatory writing that I kept thinking in that direction. However, once I decided on a standpoint, the cloudy sky cleared! YAY
UPDATE (BLAH): k...8:40. Sleep time ^^
UPDATE (Nvm...): Not worth sleeping now...haha I'll just sleep after class today
Edit/Update: I just passed an office in Bennett...haha someone's last name is actually "English"...Same floor as us "Jim English" -- I did a double take ^^"
Surprisingly not tired at all...don't feel like sleeping/napping.
Nother Update:

"Have Fun During Fling Peeps :P"
Just shouting it out! Have fun guys!
I won't be partying it hard like everyone else, but I'll be enjoying the lull in school life.
I'll check out all the events that'll be going on though ^^"
We'll see how much work I do this weekend (Of course, I'll be editing my Judgmental and Simple Syntheses for my Final Portfolio)
"Spring Fling~"
For a sober weekend it was pretty fun. Honestly I feel like not being drunk lets you remember the good stuff...like what drunk people do XDDDD
Anyway, I went to the carnival, tried my share of fried oreos, cooked a lot, ate a lot, walked around a lot, dim sum on Friday, and drank random virgin concoctions and juice :D
Love my Chinese snacks...that I ate all so fast T_T fail...need to go to Chinatown again :(
"Monday ^^"
Felt like Sunday was my tired day lol I'm so awake ><"
I'm cleaning my room for fun haha
So much laundry x3 I'm glad I have the skill of multi tasking ^^ And folding laundry is totally mindless anyway, so I can just enjoy myself watching movies or other stuff at the same time ^^
"Finals"
Argh...can't believe I have a Final next week T_T....
Plus the Final Portfolio...I'm glad I had most of the papers already edited awhile ago...now I just need to do final reread and grammar/style check for each paper. The only two papers I may want to rewrite are the judgmental and simple synthesis...Well, not 100% rewrite, but just to make it more of an acceptable level..
I've been more picky with my writing lately...hopefully it pays off in the end...
I haven't started studying for the exam yet...I should start ASAP. Less than 7 days left ;(
"BoO"
Blah...Finals are inching ever so close...
I hate how my BPUB 203 final is at the same time as my last ECON050 Class...this always pisses me off! They always have retarded times for Finals...
Gah I can't wait till school is over. I want to do WORK WORK not School Work...
I don't believe in examinations. Especially those of which teachers think it's smart to count a single multiple choice at 3 points each while a short answer is only 1 point per answer.
I SUCK AT MULTIPLE CHOICE. GOD. Why can't they just grade it more fairly????
"Final Portfolio"
After my conference, I feel pretty good about my Final Portfolio. All there is now is a few more adjustments and then final touch ups.
Actually, I wish there would be more time to do more with what I have. I feel like I could edit all of my other papers and make them so much better. For now, I’ll have to suffice with just polishing the judgmental and complex synthesis and the position paper.
However, I can't wait until school's over and summer vacation starts! I need a break from studies haha.

I'll be learning some golf too ^^ It'll be fun haha!

Surprising to see how slow the end of the year is getting...
I can't wait until next week!!! I'll be moving out and then heading off to FL :)
I'm also planning on getting contacts ^^

"Chinese Flight Attendants"
First: ARGH I HATE BLACKBOARD! I SUBMITTED THIS BLOG AND IT DIDN'T GO THROUGH AND THINGS GOT LOST LOST :( MEANIE BUTTHEAD STUPID BLACKBOARD! [Haha...excuse my childish rant...]
This is all I can remember (as I wrote it 8 hours ago...It was such a good entry T_T):
When we were talking about air lines in class, it reminded me about Chinese flight attendants...
Basically, a Chinese flight attendant needs to meet minimum appearance requirements which include: attractiveness -- no ugly attendants, no fat attendants, age cutoff (24), height (must be AT LEAST few inches taller than avg Chinese, 5'4", thus you must be at least 5'7" and 5'9" tends to be the optimal, super model, height), weight
Flight attendant training takes 10 weeks for a new recruit, and 2 days annually is set for training in service and safety procedures for an existing attendant.
Take a look at this article: http://www.gadling.com/2007/11/24/want-to-be-a-chinese-flight-attendant-don-t-bother-if-you-re-no/
In China, flight attendants are iconic fashion statements. Their requirements are similar to that of a super model. An attendant must wear knee length skirts, heels, have their hair tied back, etc. Chinese passengers even associate airline quality with the quality of their flight attendants.
Pretty interesting/funny article: http://articles.latimes.com/2007/nov/20/world/fg-stew20
This author mentions that Chinese flight attendants "look eerily alike." If by "alike" s/he just means their height, age, and beauty s/he is right on the dot. It would be significantly "EERY" if they actually all had the same face...
IMAGES: http://thechive.com/2009/12/02/in-china-becoming-a-flight-attendant-is-serious-competition/
Becoming a flight attendant in China is highly competitive. They must go through a very extensive physical screening process that looks at teeth/smile, posture, attractiveness, bodily odors, other biographic info, etc. Even the first picture of the previous link focuses on a "prettier" woman while blurring the rest of the "less attractive" women. (This woman's face is eerily symmetric...)
If you think about it these attendants are pretty much there for their sex appeals. Obviously, Chinese airlines are highly consumer-friendly, appealing greatly to tourists.
"This Weather"
It sucks. sucks. sucks. sucks.
The housing really needs to turn the AC back T_T...I still don't see why they put the heaters on in OCTOBER...
Anyway...exam coming up...so hard to think about topics to write about in WRIT when mind's stuck on international economics XD
"Heat"
Making me sleepy...I heard the AC's not coming on until April. That is the most retarded thing I've ever heard...what the hell are we paying for then? To boil to death???
They do realize that a lot of people really can't function in the heat right? At least in the cold you can bundle up. But in the heat, there's a limit to how much you can take off...
This reminds me of how they turned the heat on in October. Who's running facilities? People afraid of the cold?!?!?!
"Studying"
Does anyone else share the immense laziness to study?
It's this heat...making me lazierrr and totally dysfunctional :(:(
I have an exam tonight....still haven't started studying for it! Wish me luck~

Hi Alex,

"Hi!"
Guess what? I didn't start any research yet! I haven't read anything, I don't have any sources, I have no idea what's going on. I haven't even read Public Opinion Yet!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
...
Haha...April Fools :)
In reality, I'm excited to write my judgmental synthesis :)
I've stuck to my exercising every other day schedule (YAY) so I feel healthier~
"So...Hot T_T"
OMG It's soo hot x.x" I passed out b/c of it for THREE HOURSSSS
hahahaha -sigh- o well food time!
Hope no one else has this issue with the dumb heat...when will U**** become smart and learn that AC is cheaper than having heat on?!!?! People can always bundle UP but there's a LIMIT to stripping down. If U**** REALLY wants to turn "GREEN" then they'll stop using heat completely. It's really not necessary...It has been so hot this entire winter that I haven't even worn a single sweater yet! I brought every single one home last break because they were so useless
"Wow."
This week will be so hectic haha! I better start managing my time more wisely haha ;P
This heat is reallygetitng to me, though...I don't get how anyone can survive this weather :((((
Anyway, I hope everyone's having fun in the sun! I know I'm not haha :)
"Life as a W******* student..."
Guess what? It's 1 am...guess where I am? In a stupid GSR starting a meeting...
Sounds fun, huh?
I have come to hate huntsman over the course of just a few months ;-; It seems that nobody ever has time until 11 or something at night...
So hot.
"Yay ^^"
Complex down...Proposition down...ONE TO GO! Judgmental synth ;)
I'm sure that I'll have the most fun doing the Judgmental ^^ It's on a cool topic, and I have friends in the field who can give me tips and first-hand accounts :)
Lately I've been writing in Two Reason form a lot...I just like using it...Hopefully that does not have an effect on my grade at the end haha...
On a off-topic note, I'm going to Hershey Park on May 1st :D Perfect day to go ;P Right before exams, but giving a few days of study too :P
"It...Got...Hotter...WTF!?!?!?"
I absolutely hate this atrocious heat. The heat is seriously a wave of death...
Yesterday I was so overheated that I had to take multiple cold showers in order to keep my body temperature at normal...
Very bad weather. I need my AC nowwwwwwwwwww...I still can't believe how stupid U**** services is...They are so inefficient...that's probably why housing is so expensive...They do not know how to efficiently allocate their sources. They should learn that, in the cold, people know how to keep warm by wearing extra blankets and extra layers. If they're the crazy people who like 90 degree heat through the entire year, instead of bothering all the roommates with heat, they can just wear extra layers...I mean, I haven't touched a single sweater since coming to ****! They over heat everywhere.
AC is cheaper than heat anyway, so why can't they just turn the AC on? People who like the heat will enjoy the heat, while people who despise it (or can't live in it) can have their ACs on. If this imbecility continues again next year, I will talk to some higher ups.
U****'s goal of achieving "greenness" will definitely not happen until they learn how to stop using heat so much.
"Fun stuff."
How are people doing with their Judgmental Syntheses :)?
I'm enjoying my research hehe ^^
Taking a few movie breaks here and there...
"Whoo~"
Haha the picture changed again :D
I'm excited for this summer. I got a job doing something similar to what I was planning on doing, anyway.
I'll be working my own hours and basically starting my own social enterprise :P This will be fun!
"Blah..."
Total Writer's Block yesterday! haha...
So hard to focus my mind recently...got too much on my mind haha :P

Haha...that was random :o Have a nice day everyone ^^
"Hi!"
Guess what? I didn't start any research yet! I haven't read anything, I don't have any sources, I have no idea what's going on. I haven't even read Public Opinion Yet!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
...
Haha...April Fools :)
In reality, I'm excited to write my judgmental synthesis :)
I've stuck to my exercising every other day schedule (YAY) so I feel healthier~
"So...Hot T_T"
OMG It's soo hot x.x" I passed out b/c of it for THREE HOURSSSS
hahahaha -sigh- o well food time!
Hope no one else has this issue with the dumb heat...when will U**** become smart and learn that AC is cheaper than having heat on?!!?! People can always bundle UP but there's a LIMIT to stripping down. If U**** REALLY wants to turn "GREEN" then they'll stop using heat completely. It's really not necessary...It has been so hot this entire winter that I haven't even worn a single sweater yet! I brought every single one home last break because they were so useless
"Wow."
This week will be so hectic haha! I better start managing my time more wisely haha ;P
This heat is reallygetitng to me, though...I don't get how anyone can survive this weather :((((
Anyway, I hope everyone's having fun in the sun! I know I'm not haha :)
"Life as a W******* student..."
Guess what? It's 1 am...guess where I am? In a stupid GSR starting a meeting...
Sounds fun, huh?
I have come to hate huntsman over the course of just a few months ;-; It seems that nobody ever has time until 11 or something at night...
So hot.
"Yay ^^"
Complex down...Proposition down...ONE TO GO! Judgmental synth ;)
I'm sure that I'll have the most fun doing the Judgmental ^^ It's on a cool topic, and I have friends in the field who can give me tips and first-hand accounts :)
Lately I've been writing in Two Reason form a lot...I just like using it...Hopefully that does not have an effect on my grade at the end haha...
On a off-topic note, I'm going to Hershey Park on May 1st :D Perfect day to go ;P Right before exams, but giving a few days of study too :P
"It...Got...Hotter...WTF!?!?!?"
I absolutely hate this atrocious heat. The heat is seriously a wave of death...
Yesterday I was so overheated that I had to take multiple cold showers in order to keep my body temperature at normal...
Very bad weather. I need my AC nowwwwwwwwwww...I still can't believe how stupid U**** services is...They are so inefficient...that's probably why housing is so expensive...They do not know how to efficiently allocate their sources. They should learn that, in the cold, people know how to keep warm by wearing extra blankets and extra layers. If they're the crazy people who like 90 degree heat through the entire year, instead of bothering all the roommates with heat, they can just wear extra layers...I mean, I haven't touched a single sweater since coming to ****! They over heat everywhere.
AC is cheaper than heat anyway, so why can't they just turn the AC on? People who like the heat will enjoy the heat, while people who despise it (or can't live in it) can have their ACs on. If this imbecility continues again next year, I will talk to some higher ups.
U****'s goal of achieving "greenness" will definitely not happen until they learn how to stop using heat so much.
"Fun stuff."
How are people doing with their Judgmental Syntheses :)?
I'm enjoying my research hehe ^^
Taking a few movie breaks here and there...
"Whoo~"
Haha the picture changed again :D
I'm excited for this summer. I got a job doing something similar to what I was planning on doing, anyway.
I'll be working my own hours and basically starting my own social enterprise :P This will be fun!
"Blah..."
Total Writer's Block yesterday! haha...
So hard to focus my mind recently...got too much on my mind haha :P
After my conference, my mind is starting to clear. I found the path and now I'm going to pursue it :)
Let the writing adventure's begin! (haha corny)
I'm going to start off with watching the film, Manufacturing Consent, by Noam Chomsky :D
Boom
God...I want my pens, t-shirts, dsi, and stuffed animal ;(

Class posts before spring break~
"Morning"
Oh my...this is getting to become a habit -- not blogging at funny hours XD
Anyway, I'm thinking about how to start studying for my midterm on thursday...
How do we study if we don't have any material for the class, or if we have no practice exams? Basically, you don't. Our teacher seems to be encouraging us to study at the last minute. FAIL.
"Harvard Professors"
From what I've seen so far, I hate Harvard professors. First, they suck at teaching. Second, they don't know what they're talking about. Third, they're either really old or they just aren't able to answer questions. Fourth, they use "uh and uhm" way too much --it's HIGHLY distracting. I can't even understand what's going on half the time b/c of the "uh uhm" crap every other word (sometimes 2-3 in a row!)
I know I shouldn't generalize, but GEEZ
Furthermore, I hate BPUB203. Anyone reading this shouldn't take it. The professors basically give you a practice exam, expect you to understand their POOR and SHODDY and AMBIGUOUS and UNCLEAR phrasing...then they won't answer ANY questions about it. GET THIS: they ALSO won't give ANY answers to the practice exam. I mean, COME ON, how do we know we're doing it right? How do we know if we've grasped the ideas correctly...if they suck at teaching?????
"AHHH"
Noooo my pretty record of blogging every Sun-Th is broken :(.
Now, every time I look at my calendar (until month passes) I will see it :( :( :(
Anyway...posting today en lieu~~~~ I had an evil exam yesterday night and ended up studying all day/night so I forgot about blog~
"Exams"
Hmm why can't I start studying :O?
I just watched Shutter Island, From Paris with Love, When in Rome, and Jumanji!
Personally I was disappointed that Shutter Island's trailer made it seem more like a horror while the actual movie itself was more based on psychology/detective work/psychotherapy. However, the movie itself was pretty good.
The title of From Paris with Love seems to be more a romantic type, but when I watched it, it was more political/action/terrorism.
When in Rome was a comedic romance story.
Jumanji isn't a new release, but it was quite an interesting movie.
"Lol"
http://alllooksame.com/exam_room.php Check it out -- pretty interesting (you need an account, but don't need to provide your email)
Ready for the BPUB/OPIM exams ;)?
"Hectic Week"
Wow...I was so enveloped in focusing on other things that I totally forgot about blogging yesterday!
Hmmm well, it's 2 hours past yesterday, but I'll write another one later today!!!!! Got to make up for it!~
Anyway, I can't wait until Friday~~~~~
"Book Review"
I thought it would be hard to write a book review, but it seems that it wasn't that bad~
I have to give Lippmann some credit for making it easier because he had some strong arguments.
With this week, I can't wait until spring break!!!
I'll be volunteering for ECAASU 2010 :) If anyone is here over the weekend~
"Happy Spring Break"
Hope everyone's enjoying themselves over the break :)
I was volunteering for ECAASU 2010 this weekend haha :)
Met AJ Rafael, Magnetic North, Hari Kondabolu, among others x3333
Fun times :)

"Webmaster"
Yup...webmaster of **** Asian Review...YAY! Not.
I just spent literally ALL DAY on the site...Dreamweaver helped out a bit haha...Time to think about homework...IN THE MORNING!
This was seriously the busiest weekend of my life. Meetings upon meetings upon meetings. You get the point lol!
"Money."
Just got my credit card in the mail today. Activated it, too.
Also made a paypal account...and now all that's left is to call the bank to get access to my savings account.
Joy for turning 18...hahahaha.
Snow Day!
Love how we have no school :) Apparently this is a first in a long time ^^ I guess I'll be thankful that philly fails in snowy weather haha.
Hopefully they don't shut down dining halls AGAIN. It's not THAT hard to drive in snow...! Just be careful~
Anyway...I should head off to bed soon haha xD See you guys on Monday! (ENJOY YOUR DAY OFF)
I believe I will try to finish the Public Opinion book tomorrow (maybe)
"Hmmm"
Lol 4 am.
It's not insomnia~ But yea, I'm glad I have a 5 day weekend ;)
Hope other people are enjoying these days as much as I am!
See you guys in class on monday (most likely!)
"Happy New Years / Happy Valentines Day"
大家新年快乐！祝你们幸福健康！Happy New Years! Wishing you happiness and health!
Also, Happy V-Day :)
Funny how VDAY has to be on New years. Feel sorry for chinese people (in China)--they have to spend it with their family instead of confessing! Haha.
Anyway, hope everyone has fun plans for today. I'm thinking about going to Chinatown and also an event tonight.
On the V-Day side, that's for me to know ^^. Hope everyone is enjoying this pseudo 5-day weekend! I am ;)
Monday's going to hit me hard? Maybe haha! See you guys in class :P
"The onslaught of MONDAY"
I think I'm ready for school~ Haha
Public Opinion was so long haha ><" I'm more of a novel reader. More into fiction than historical facts and things like that.
Does anyone have friends in the U.S. Military? I think that it's sometimes a good thing, and sometimes a bad tihng. You get a really caring and nice person to talk to, but when he/she has to deport, it's so sad/lonely -- like a part of you is leaving!
Well, then again I treat all my friends as very close people :P Maybe it's just me.
"Packaging"
Fail...the blog I just wrote disappeared. Here's how it was...kind of:
Anyway...I move a lot, so most my packaging is for the purpose of moving conveniently.
I don't really see the point in having things that take up space for no reason.
The only thing I can think of ever keeping is decorative boxes for putting things in. Some mooncake boxes come in beautiful red boxes that open up to gold fabric with 4 tin? boxes with very traditional painted lids.
"Hi peeps~"
Yesterday, I just came down with the serious bout of insomnia haha XD
I just drank a can of Coke Classic - Original Formula. It tastes so different haha! I think the coke now might be sweeter, don't know.
Anyway, I'm about to head home all by my lonesome :) wish me luck in getting back to my dorm in one piece! :)
See you guys later in class today!
"Hahaha"
Woot! First time I'm actually writing a blog not at odd hours of the morning haha~
The 25 minute thing was interesting. That's all I can say haha. It only takes me ~10-15 minutes to write 3 paragraphs, AFTER using a lot of time thinking my whole essay through.
The only problem that I had was processing the words in the prompt -- for some reason I had to read it a few times over lol...
Midterm Portfolio time <3 Hooray~
"Ahhhh"
So much stuff going on T_T
Apparently the OPIM dept SUCKS. I officially hate it. Apparently, they only let you take the stupid exam day of -- or you get an I or F...on the transcript...I OFFICIALLY SAY "EWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW"
My teacher's like "you should see if you can skip class/leave early"
Psh.
"Bleh"
P.O. was ok...
I'm not going to start complaining about all the crappy things that have been going on recently lol...
Something about propaganda...people should check out http://www.nbcphiladelphia.com/around-town/archive/Army-Arcade-Recruiting-Kids-in-Philly.html
Some people may have fun.

"BLOG BLOG BLOG!"
Blog, Blog, BLOOOG!
Almost forgot the blog! Anyway, anyone who is reading this must be wondering what I'm doing up so late--it's 3 AM!
Well, first off, I'm talking with a friend that is overseas -- time zone difference can be a PAIN!
Second, I was trying to get through a lot of the pile of reading I had to do >.>" I got through half of BPUB 203 and all required readings for WRIT 023 aside from PO (I'm wondering if we're just DDO-ing each chapter of Public Opinion...? It wasn't explained)
Anyway...3 AM seems to be normal for me -- I have late morning classes (10:30) which are right over the bridge from Harnwell --> JMHH, how lucky :)
Time to sign off for this post, see you next time!

"Work @ SFCU"
Work is going to start this week! I'm half excited, half paranoid about their point system. They make all of our schedules back to back to our classes, so how do we get there without being late? Especially since they also want us to wear dress clothes...
0.5 points received for tardiness, 1.5 for an absenteeism (or over 20 minutes tardy), terminated after 3 points reached. That kind of means that, after 6 tardiness less than 20 minutes or 2 tardiness over 20 minutes, or 2 absenteeism (among other things) will get one terminated.
I may seem to be complaining here, but it seems that sometimes you can't get out of class "10 minutes earlier."
Anyway, I'm looking forward to working there, and will be informing my manager of the implications.

"Reasoning"
Ross and Faris both made many valid points about the differences between examples and reasons and the types of reasoning.
I found that it was difficult thinking about a proposition for a two reasons paper about reasoning. When first reading the articles, it seemed that Ross and Faris covered most of the ground on the topic. I knew that I could spend extra time thinking in order to figure out something they missed, but there wasn't enough time.
Thus, I turned to Age of Propaganda because its chapter was very interesting. It did not yet cross my mind that I could write about a topic of my choice, as long as it was related to the class. Next time, I'll start with creating my own topic in which I am more interested in.

I think it's fair to say "HELP" lawl!

"Writing Inside Out"
After today's discussion of the PW excerpt, I recalled the techniques of writing I learned in high school. Not only was I taught to first write the body before writing an introduction, I was also taught to edit my papers backward, starting with the last sentence.
I've also been given the opportunity to break free from the "five-paragraph" templates. In my senior year, I decided to take Individual Literary Analysis, a one-on-one session that met once every cycle to discuss books. It was a very flexible course, allowing me to choose most of thet books I wanted to read, and letting me write about whatever I wanted to write about. Each meeting, both an essay had to be written and a book had to be read. For each book, I had to write journals marking my thoughts, questions, and interesting facts.
Because of all the flexibility I had in my writing experience, many of the skills I had learned pertained to those I have seen in PW.
"Group #4's Top 3 Generalizations"
Mass media’s contribution
Is mass media responsible in altering the public’s opinions/perspectives?
TV is the most effective way to persuade audience because it retains the audience’s attention through both visual and auditory stimuli.
TV is more easily accessible
Images created by advertising
Is it ethical for advertisements to use certain images to their advantage?
Advertising uses sexual appeal, animals, babies, and specific target words like “new” and “easy”
Advertisers take a risk when they use celebrities in their advertisements because it pertains to a specific target audience.
Persuasion
Is violence in media directly influence aggressive behavior ?
Crime rates have increased since the introduction of violence in media.
People are impressionable beings, no matter the consequences.
After today's discussion of the PW excerpt, I recalled the techniques of writing I learned in high school. Not only was I taught to first write the body before writing an introduction, I was also taught to edit my papers backward, starting with the last sentence.

ALL about this weekend?
Class Blog:
"ALL about this weekend?"
First off, I got an internship at the SFCU as a part of the Information Systems Committee and as a Teller/AE intern. Yesterday at 6 pm, I met a few interesting people. I enjoyed talking with board members and I'm excited for training this week. A word of warning -- Don't wear heels in the rain when walking on locust! Watch out at the bridge :)
Secondly, I've finished compiling the murderous schedule of Spring 2010 complete with assignments, readings, exams, breaks, and other due dates/important dates. Before doing this, it seemed like I had a HUUUUUGE, GIGANTIC, ENORRRRMOUS load of work to do -- and seemed to be behind in the ones in which my books have not yet arrived. However, after spreading everything out, things seem more managable -- hopefully it is! We'll have to see as the semester goes on...
Third, is anyone taking notes as they read? I'm finding it something I would be doing -- only if I knew if it actually helps. This semester is full of surprises and busier scheduling!
Finally, this isn't QUITE about this weekend, but I've been going to the gym as many times as possible during the week for 1 hr at a time. Since I've just started after ~3 years of not much exercise, my body has been slowly catching up by forcing me to sleep more. However, I think in about a week or so, I will start to reap the benefits of keeping healthy! If anyone would like a running partner during the week or swimming buddy during the weekend (I'm not that good at swimming!) for motivation, shoot me an email ^^. I hope other people might take my example and start living a healthier life!
I believe I'll sign off here~ Have a nice week everyone!

HAHA LETTER TO THE PROFESSOR
YAY I got bored...time to bombard my professor with clarifying questions :D? See below:
Dear Professor XXXXXXX,
I hope your weekend has been well. I’m writing to ask several questions:
For the blog, I missed 2 required blogs (Wednesday the 20th and Thursday the 21st). I have written blogs on optional dates. Can I write extra ones right now to replace the 2 missed blogs, and guarantee that I will not miss any more, or will I be penalized for missing the blogs on the specific dates?
On the Schedule you provided, I’m confused about what “Topic Readings” refers to. Is it everything listed under the “Read” section? AP and PR are both online books, so should we just bring our laptops for that? For articles such as “Reasons” by David Faris, should they be printed out?
While reading Public Opinion, should I be taking notes, and if so, what information should I be writing down?
Under “Write” for each day, does that refer to things that are due on that day? If so, what time? For example, for Jan 25th, “Write” has listed “Three alternative propositions for possible papers responding to the reading(s).” Would this be due before or after class on the 25th, and would the “reading(s)” refer to “AP: Age of Propaganda” and “PW, 80-96”?
Under “Submit” for each day, should the assignment be submitted before or after class? For example, on Feb 1st, “Submit” has listed “Revision of Two Reasons, and revised outline to Blackboard.” Would this be due before or after class on the 1st?
I think that’s all for now!
Thanks for your time,
K2K

Hah...Epic FAIL!
"Total Blogs"
If we were supposed to start blogging for real after wednesday, I think I only missed two -- Today, I've written many blogs to make up for that. After today, I expect I won't be missing anymore :) I hope other people who had the same problem with blogging may want to blog more to make up for it -- Maybe we should ask the professor about it in class.
I am so gonna fail school ;D

Yay...More Blogs 4 School xD
"Bones"
I've recently been watching the tv show, Bones, it's really interesting and engaging. It's quite intriguing to see people solve murders just by looking at bones. Thanks to anthropology, it's possible.
"Blogging"
I wonder when we're being graded on these blogs. I know I've accidentally missed a few, like many of class members have. However, I think I'll just post a few more blogs in order to make up for the ones I'm missing -- and then guarantee that I'll try not to miss anymore after this first week.
"Movies"
Has anyone seen any good movies lately? 2010 seems to be a year for a LOT of good new releases. Some include The Lovely Bones, Alice in Wonderland, The Lightning Thief, etc. I already watched The Lovely Bones. However, I had not yet finished the book, so I can't decide which one is better. The only thing that the director was risking on was the portrayal of "Heaven." This is because each person has his/her own view about what "heaven" should be. Thus, the director's portrayal may not be the same as any one reader's image of heaven.
Anyway, I can't wait to watch the new releases! Hope other people are also excited for them.

Geez...never knew my body could handle so much!
Waking up first thing in the morning on Sunday, playing Piano?!?!
Then eating a small brunch...
End up going to the gym to try out: Zumba (1 hr...or more?), Hip Hop (also 1 hr-ish), then Rock Climbing (Went all the way to the top, as usual ^^), then ATE A LOT =D, Chilled, went home & shower & chat with friends haha :D
Anyway...Slightly sore (not too much) after all that :D
~Kinda hungry so I'm gonna stop here!

YAYYYYY WRITING SEMINAR! not.
Okay, here's how it goes. I have to write a 3-line blog per day, from Sun-Thurs. How Fun!??!?! XD
Well, to bore you guys, I'll be double posting :D One here, One there :D Feel free to read if you want XD
"Writing"
Hi all! I do not have much experience in writing blog posts, but I'm happy to have this opportunity to try it out! In ninth grade, I started co-writing fantasy/fiction. Mostly focusing on imaginative and creative writing, my friends and I were able to create worlds of life with just the use of words. I find this truly fascinating. Over the years, I have been on some websites, trying out text-based role playing. Depending on the subject/topic and the participants, sometimes a very entertaining story unfolds. I believe writing is a way to express feelings from author to audience. To be able to convey one's feelings on paper with just ink is remarkable -- people on the other side of the world can pick up a piece of your writing, read it, and feel what you feel. Although it is impossible for readers to all feel exactly what the author intended, it is possible for the author to bring emotion to his/her readers. I find this fascinating.
"Facebook"
Facebook seems to be following Google's trend in becoming a word in a dictionary. People all over the world are now saying "Facebook me" this or "Facebook me" that. Although Facebook is quite an easy way to bring together friends and contacts, I don't see why people spend countless hours at a time on it. Personally, I just check once or twice a day, more if there's something important that I was discussing. It has become more of a daily "check my email" routine, in which I sometimes don't go on at all. I question the value/use of some of the components of facebook. Facebook home seems to broadcast every single friend's status/change in relationship/etc. Who actually has the time to go through all of them (especially people with hundreds, thousands, or even hundreds of thousands of friends)? To me, Facebook is just another tool to connect with others, not something I would spend countless hours a day on. I understand people have different interests, but Facebook seems to negatively affect some people, taking over their lives.
Anyway, thanks to anyone who reads through this whole rant, I chose this topic because a friend of mine spends a minimum of 6 hours a day on Facebook :P. Happy commenting!
"Snow"
I've been surrounded by snow a lot -- big hills of cold, white, fluffiness just in my backyard. However, as a child, I've only experienced the joys of sledding down a white hill after waking up early in the morning and screaming "SNOW!" at the top of my lungs. Only recently have I discovered that I could ice skate without falling over on a pond across from my friend's house. Exciting thing, to be on ice for the first time, and nearly dying from the rivets and bumps all over!
Though I've had fun with ice and snow, what I really want to try is snowboarding and skiing! I don't know why, but the thrill of cutting through the wind at high speeds down a steep hill is very enticing to me. I plan to try it out sometime in the near future ^^.
