Yes, I know it's been a while
As I was doing research for my thesis on the differences in business method patent laws in different countries, I found that different nations often emphasize aspects of law (obviously to portray what they think is important for the betterment of society). An interesting fact that I found was that the U.S. in one of the only countries that has the ( Read more... ) -
all nighter
My signals test is today and I am petrified. I definitely should have worked harder this entire semester. On the brightside, the sun is coming up! It makes me just want to bust out singing "The Circle of Life" from the Lion King, but I will contain myself seeing how I might permanently damage the fragile minds of the few people that have joined ( Read more... ) -
I got an appointment with the investigator!
I know it sounds like I'm getting arrested or something. The investigator is actually just giving me an interview for a security clearance so I can work! I have been scared that I would not have a job because my clearance did not go through all semester. I just have to get through this one interview! They actually have to hook me up to a lie ( Read more... ) -
(Untitled)
What a coincidence! My professor was talking about how a lot of business ventures are more dependent on luck than anything else. His lecture was so close to the message of Matchpoint, that I felt like it was deja vu. I've always been a firm believer in self-determination, however, our lives cannot be solely governed by ourselves as we are ( Read more... ) -
I can see the light
This weekend was pretty fun. I went shopping with Tiff on Friday and bought some great clothes. I almost bought a pair of Rainbows and a PSP, but then I thought of my less than spectacular grades and decided not to. The PSP might actually make me fail all my classes. On the upside, I will have to be here for the last semester of my fourth year ( Read more... ) -
my entire life fits in 2 dvds
My computer is officially dead. I went to Best Buy yesterday to buy an external battery which still did not work. The computer guy said that the motherboard (haha, sounds like the mothership) is broken and is fixable but it would just be more worth it to buy a new one. So, I will have to continue my midnight stays at the stacks (I should ( Read more... ) -
working out my badunkadunk
Today, I went to the AFC to work out on the elliptical machines since my knee has been bothering me for quite a while (I like running better). I didn't bring anything to read, so I'm just looking around at all the people using the weight machines. There was this small Asian man on the pull down machine. So he does a couple of pull downs really ( Read more... ) -
grade improvement
You know how when you are looking through a big pile of homeworks in search of your own, you can't help but glimpse at other people's scores as well. You notice that the people that usually get the best scores are those with names that are hardest to pronounce, and are usually an English translation of their name in another language. So, in an ( Read more... ) -
barely alive
Lately, I have been having all these bad dreams at night, mostly about school (i.e. alphabet soup of variables and subscripts; trying to run away from scary man in corvette while naked with a towel in stadium parking lot at night; 50 cops hiding in the bushes jumping out because I am going over speed limit). So, what do these dreams tell me ( Read more... ) -
it's 5am
It is almost 5am and there are 5 people at stacks. Hah, what a coinkidink. Enjoy yourself.
