So it's been one of my major goals to finally get to know my family better. I know a little bit of my ancestry, but people in my family seem to have children very late into their lives. Late as in mid-forties, sometimes later. Thus it only takes three generations to breach a century in my family. My grandpa was born in the 19th century, and he died ( Read more... )

So today, I've started teaching myself Objective-C. Python was a bit annoying, but I figure this one is more likely to be profitable.

iTunesU was a bit time consuming and annoying, my e-book for python was just a pain to read after a while, so I've traveled to Barnes and Noble and picked up a book on it. Meh, I'm not a big fan of how arrogant and ( Read more... )

Today was busy. What a Wednesday!

So, woke up at 8:30, went to 9am class. It was okay.

Returned to the hall, quick shower.

Printed out the segment of my script that was going to be workshopped today.
Grabbed some props to bring.

Note to self: biking with a balloon tied to you looks funny and warrants lots of staring. Especially when said balloon is ( Read more... )

Uggghh what a Tuesday!
What on Earth prompted me to think that taking Advanced Production, Japanese 2C, and 2 upper div econ classes in one quarter was a good idea at all?!

Four and a half more weeks.. That sounds so much longer than just saying I'm over halfway through week 7.

Accidentally dozed off on the couch after filming yesterday. That was ( Read more... )

Today was largely uneventful outside of the pep rally for the men's volleyball team.

Figures that the one photo of the band is a ridiculously unappealing image of the brass section hitting a higher note, so everyone has these scrunched up faces of fury.

That UCI vs USC game was intense. I highly respect both teams and forcefully remained respectful ( Read more... )

Hello and welcome to Mar's summer break day 1

So yeah.. My last week has been more or less terrible from sleep deprivation, public transportation, private transportation, work load, and all sorts of whatnot.. But I'm still feeling fine over all of this.

I guess I've really mellowed out a whole lot more than I thought I would. Yeah, I have those ( Read more... )

Ahaha I'm updating mar talk via NHHS interwebs.

So yeah highlights over the last while

Tanked at the yoyo competition, but I was perfectly fine with that. Stagefright is really something I need to fix. I used to be terrified of answering questions in class, but that improved over time. So I can assume that if I keep putting myself on stage, then the ( Read more... )

And now for a more recent mar talk

Awww wound up with a B in Japanese session I
Ah well, it's a language class. I struggle in those, so I'm quite happy with this. Hopefully I can do better in this next session.

Flores Sensee is a fair bit more intimidating than Kimura Sensee, but I gotta say that she does have that I'm-overwhelmingly-adorably-Asian ( Read more... )

So yeah.. So much for updating everyday. Well most of the days missed can be summed up as follows:
Woke up at 5:30AM
Got to train station at roughly 6:25AM
Found a nice spot on the metrolink
Studied/finished hw on hour long train ride
Arrived at Tustin station at roughly 7:45AM
Biked the six or seven some odd miles to uci
Get on campus at roughly 8:15AM

Hello all, today was rather relaxing!

I dozed off on the couch at like ten pm... Most comfortable couch ever... Woke up at like eleven am today

First couple hours of my day were spent fiddlijg about with my aunt's iPad... Which I have covertly named "marPad" because I am a total narcicist. It's a bit weird that she can afford to buy a 32 gig ipad so ( Read more... )
