| This past week has been hectic for me. I’ve been trying to juggle with school, work, tutoring, club meetings, peer advising, teaching, and applying for EAP. Ugh! Don’t get me wrong, I love everything that I do (well, most of it at least). But I get drained out like those poor greens in a salad spinner. There’s always so much to do. In the past, I’ve considered myself to have pretty good time management skills. But those skills seem to be losing their touch, and I’m always ending up with a crap load of shit to do. My bed time has been bumped down 3 hours. That may not seem like much, but I can feel the difference. Oooh yea~! *kevin’s face crashes into the keyboard...zZzZzzz* @)$%**!#&!($@$&!#lalA;JEIeb!*!&#@$Kak@*AJDO#! *drool* OK! I’M AWAKE! I’M AWAKE! Where did all my free time go?!!!?!?! I can’t even run upstairs to blow kisses to my roommates anymore. If any of you four are reading this, you know I love you. In the mean time, warm up my seat on the stairs will ya? It’s the second step down. Man, why do kids who don’t do shit in school have a RECESS BREAK and we don’t (I do love kids though). I want to have time to watch my movies/anime/TV shows, read my X-Men comic books, and to call my family and friends more often. I also want to be able to go to the gym, so I can look like mini Arnold Schwarzenegger. And OMG! I’ve been missing all those OPRAH specials! *sobs* No seriously, so many “good” shows are TV right now. I recently got Comcast cable and I barely spend enough time with it. Truly, a sad story. I want my HOMEBODY life back! Sorry. I just needed somewhere to vent... | | |
| Two nights ago, I had a dream that I was on death row. It was quite frightening. I remember most vividly that I was calling my family to say good-bye to them. My sister asked me, “when are you coming back to San Francisco." I responded, “I don’t think I can ever come home again. The next time you’ll see me is when I’m buried in the ground.” Something sad and cheesy like that. Man, those words were so powerful. I swear I was crying like crazy. I forgot how I was going to get executed, but I think it was through lethal injection. The physical atmosphere and emotional intensity were so realistic. The thought about waiting for your death to come was unbearable. It’s like you know you’re going to die soon and all you can do is wait for it to happen. Ahhh! Finally, the day of the execution came. As I was getting strapped onto my death bed, a riot miraculously broke out. Prisoners were all over the place, and so, they had to stop my execution. Phew!
Being the paranoid person that I am, I went onto www.dreammoods.com to check what it all meant. Here’s what I got:
Execution: To see an execution in your dream, denotes that you will suffer some misfortune from the carelessness of others. To dream that you miraculously escape your own execution, signifies that you will overcome your enemies and succeed in gaining wealth. | | |
| You know what would be an interesting movie to see: Where in the World is Carmen Sandiego? And you should already know who would be perfect for the role. haha. I’m sure you guessed it. Yes, Angelina Jolie. I can just imagine her wearing her red fedora hat and her red trench coat jumping from country to country. Sadly, not a lot of people know who the infamous Carmen Sandiego is. Even so, I think it would be awesome to see the mastermind at work again. You know who else would make a good Carmen Sandiego? Catherine Zeta Jones. Am I right or am I right? | | |
| Superman has returned, and I witnessed his arrival last night. The movie was great! I’ve always loved Bryan Singer’s films, and once again he has proved to me that he is a remarkable director. He really has a touch for filming superhero movies. Overall, the movie was strong and well organized. Singer succeeded in capturing the essence of the theme, and the special effects he used were fantastic! There were a lot of cheesy parts in the movie, but I liked that because they created a nostalgic and reminiscent feel of the old Superman movies/series.
Brandon Routh played an awesome Superman! Although he’s not a super-experienced actor, I still think he did an impressive job in playing the role of Superman—from his dorkiness as Clark Kent to his wittiness as Superman. The only problem was that he needed to be a lot beefier. Gotta see them abs you know! My friend even said that, “in some angles, he looked like he had a beer belly”. Lois Lane was cool because I like Kate Bosworth. But for some reason she wasn’t “Lois Lane” enough. You know? During the entire film, I kept picturing Teri Hatcher as Lois. Seriously, I kept saying to myself, “but Lois Lane is suppose to look like Teri Hatcher…”. Haha. Kevin Spacey was cool, but not cool enough. The Lex Luthor in Smallville seemed more suitable for the role. Superman is truly a hero, and the movie did well in portraying that. | | |
| Finals are coming up. Yikes! I’ve started reading some lecture notes, but nothing’s sticking. I always procrastinate on studying cuz if I study too early, I start to forget. Yup, gotta study the night before so it’s all fresh on my mind. However, in Psychology class, I learned that distributed learning is most effective when it comes to studying. Come to think of it, I must agree with my professor. It does make sense to break down studying in chunks. This way, the material you study will keep building up on top of each other. It’s like baking a 5-layer cake. Each layer gets you closer and closer to completion. At the end, all you have to do is review your notes, as opposed to cram! cram! cram! OMG...just like cake...
My original summer plan was to stick with my current job, find another job outside of campus, and get an internship somewhere in Sac. None of that worked out, so here's my new plan: stick with my job and take summer classes =( I wasn’t planning on taking classes at all this summer. I wanted to relax and make BIG MONEY! *sigh* But then...I was talking to a few co-workers and they told me that if I’m not a student (as in registered to take classes) while working on campus, a huge chunk of my paycheck gets taken out (12% and not including taxes!). I was like, WTF?! I got really annoyed with that cuz I was hoping to work super hard and earn lots of money. So yea, I randomly signed up for two classes, one for each summer session. For session 1, I’m taking “metal shop”. For session 2, I’m taking “beginning jazz dance”. I’m actually really excited about taking these classes =) It would be awesome if I could also find an internship. I applied to some companies, so hopefully I’ll hear from them soon. | | |
