Sunny Morning

Joe (my Operating System professor) didn’t show up for class today, so we were dismissed. I am wondering around campus and don’t know what to do. today is pretty nice, sunshine everywhere. it has been rainning on and off for almost 2 weeks seems like, and finally we got some sunshine. i am supposed to preparing for my exam tomorrow but somehow i just don’t feel like doing it. i guess warm days make people lazy, or maybe it’s just me.

this semester is almost over and it went really fast. i usually have some memory about each semester i spent here, however this semester seems somewhat empty. not many exciting things or maybe i just forgot about them. i somehow felt like i am living in my freshman year. my hair is getting longer and i tend to wear dressy clothes again. during my 2nd and 3rd year i wore nothing but jeans and t-shirts, but yesterday when mengmeng asked me, “why do you like to wear leather shoes?”, i thought i am back to my freshman year again.

this friday SeungGwon and i will have dinner together with James, and i will see the dogs again, maybe i should buy some dog cookies for them. SeungGwon’s gonna borrow his old car to drive to UIUC to see Aya, and i hope he can keep awake the whole time when he is driving, as a matter of fact he must do so. last night we were discussing about what kind of women we like and start looking for pictures on the internet to show as an example. He likes those girls that looks very pure and cute, “good girl” looking and seems  very good to be housewife. while i tend to like those with big eyes and wild-looking. like the japanese girl in the movie “Kill-Bill”, i think her name is Go-Go Yubari. i don’t think this is her real name though. but anyway, she looks extreamly cute to me. maybe SeungGwon’s more mature than me (well, definitly yes), and my taste probably will change when i get older.

ah, her name is Chiaki Kuriyama.

Tuesday

Last night SeungGwon and I went to see Russell Crowe’s “Master and Commander: The Far Side of the World”. It was a good movie but not great. SeungGwon seemed enjoyed it a lot. It did show tons of male spirit, which can teach a person how to be a real man. However, it kept reminding me about other movies while I was watching. The customs and the fighting scenes reminded me about Mel Gibson’s movie “The Patriot”, and the sailing scenes reminded me about George Clooney’s “The Perfect Storm”. It just doesn’t have its own unique character. Surprisingly the movie rating is extremely high. If I’ve known the movie was like this, I’d rather spend my 6 dollars on Will Ferrell’s “Elf”.

Today went pretty good so far, RWS showed us the entire homework solution in class this morning, and you bet I copied everything! Haha! However there is a test coming on Thursday, but I don’t think it’ll be too hard.

I had Sushi for lunch and it tasted kinda watery. Maybe the fish is too old or something, but hopefully I will be okay.

Anyway, my lunch break is over, I’d better get back to work.

Updated Photo Album

After almost half a month, I finally added something in my photo album. Go check it out. A little note here, in the addition, only the sunset and devil’s den are my pictures, the rest I found on the internet, however, since I don’t know who the authors are, I cannot give credit to them.

Since my birthday, I haven’t really done anything. Well, I finished 2 exams and I haven’t got the results yet, hopefully I did okay. It has been raining those days and I have been very lazy. Now it’s a slow Sunday night, well technically Monday morning, I am listening to bluegrass and writing this thing.

Last night I was talking to openice through QQ for almost 5 hours. Basically we were having a discussion about the existence of God. It went pretty intense and interesting. One thing made me glad is that she really cares, no matter what she believes right now, not like some other people I have talked with, they don’t even give a damn. So, I think I am gonna do my best to explain things to her and provide her opportunities to know more about God, although I am still having difficulties understand things and me myself haven’t been born again yet. However, I felt extremely useful since I could be a media or a tool to pass God’s words to her. I had the same feeling when I was donating blood, thinking about how many people’s life my blood will save. Ah, sweet morning.

Thanksgiving is coming and I am going to Huston to see MeiYien with a bunch of friends. I am really looking forward to that and I think I will also have a chance to see the ocean. I haven’t seen the ocean for almost 3 years. Last time it was January of 2001 I think with Michelle in LA. It was after dinner I think and it was pretty dark and cold. Hopefully this time I can see some sunshine or maybe I can take some pictures of sunrise or sunset over the sea, that’ll be awesome.

Before that, I need to finish reading a book and writing a book report for my western civilization class, and a BIG test for my POOP class. POOP = Perl Object Oriented Programming, just in case you were wondering.

Talking about poop, I read an article tonight about how to prevent water splashing from the toilet bowl when you poop. I cannot believe someone would take the time and wrote more than 50 tricks to do that, and I also cannot believe someone would spend more than 10 minutes to read it, well, like me. Haha. It was fun though.

SeungGwon and I didn’t go to dinner with James this weekend since James had company coming to visit him. I kinda miss Kate and Rudy a bit, and I remember we were talking about whether Max could live pass Christmas, I hope he could.

After thousands of invitations from me, SeungGwon finally went to ISCA with me this Saturday night. Ha, I felt very successful and I cannot wait to tell this to MeiYien. He seemed enjoyed it although he was a little nervous. I hope he could go more often later on. And it was such a pity that Aya didn’t get to go when she was there. Hey Aya, next time you come back to Fayetteville, you need to go to ISCA with me, you hear me? Yeah, I am talking to you. ^^ SeungGwon’s been having problems with his chip, and it doesn’t seem to work right. He’s been pretty depressed about it, and keep talking about being kick out of school and going back to Korea. I just wish he could take it easy and be patient about it. Or maybe he’s kinda stressed out since he’s graduating in a month. Wish him good luck.

Talking about weird things, my ex-ex-girlfriend (haha) just emailed me out of the blue, after not contacting each other for almost 3 years. Well, I think it’s probably the best to keep things the way it has been for those 3 years.

Happy Birthday

I turned 22 today. It went pretty quiet and smooth. I went to dinner with Mengmeng and SeungGwon at Penguin Eds, and then went watch the movie “The Matrix Revolutions” at its premier. It was a great movie, although I didn’t fully understand what happened to Neo, what happened to Agent Smith, although Matrix has turned from a Sci-Fi movie to a more Action-Adventure Movie, it’s still a good movie. All those are not bad for a 22 years birthday, but the one thing I like most is all the greetings I got from all my friends. Made me feel so warm inside. What does it mean to turn 22? Where am I going from now? I am not so sure. Have I become more mature from last year? Definitely yes. Think over this past year, I don’t ever wanna go through it again.

So, happy birthday!
