I am an Asian-American college student majoring in Technical Communications at the University of Washington. My Spring Quarter 05 Schedule: posTComm, TC 403, TC 407, ARCH 251, ESS 495.
All I need to do is find a PAID summer internship and I'm set!
Someone in one of the e-mail lists that I belong to e-mailed everyone these "Amusing Haiku Error Messages", all related to computers being stupid. I thought a few were pretty good.
Windows NT crashed.
I am the Blue Screen of Death.
No one hears your screams.
Chaos reigns within.
Reflect, repent, and reboot.
Order shall return.
Yesterday it worked.
Today it is not working.
Windows is like that.
First snow, then silence.
This thousand dollar screen dies
So beautifully.
A crash reduces
Your expensive computer
To a simple stone.
Having been erased,
The document you're seeking
Must now be retyped.
Serious error.
All shortcuts have disappeared.
Screen. Mind. Both are blank
I need any kind of distraction to keep me from doing my homework (HW).

Awwww, :( why is EVERYONE I know having relationship problems? You have to admit though, a lot of good poetry comes out of it. Heart aches, one of the best muses out there.
Ironic Song of the Moment: Popular-- by Nada Surf. Lyrics
"For I know the plans I have for you, " declares the Lord, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future."--Jeremiah 29:11
The pain that comes out of each relationship serves to make every subsequent one that much better. It's hard yes, but embrace that pain, you'll never know just how blessed and great you have it when you finally meet your other half if you haven't suffered and had your heart broken. Soft, cooling balm works the best on a burn.
Day After You open your eyes
It's the first day without _______.
Can I get through this day?
Can I get through this life?
Everything I had
I saw in _______'s eyes.
But God had other plans
His Plan is perfect,
If I have been called to endure this pain,
How much greater will the blessing be,
Just let _______ be happy.
It wasn't perfect,
But the love was there,
We shared some love
And that love will always be with me.
Your love will always be with me,
But I must go on...
There is someone else waiting.
I'm sorry to all those who are going through an emotional crisis, this poem I hope can give you hope and I just wanted to express how empathetic all of this is to me. It's the first poem I've written in months, so :) forgive the lack of defined style. Don't give up and face what you gotta face.
WELL, guess I'm still alive after taking my first college Physics Midterm! It actually wasn't that bad, I did kind of run out of time, but it could have been much much worse. Thanks to the advice from Steve (George's roommate) I think the test went pretty well. And the emotional support and encouragement from Dan and Alex were great too :) Ahhhh, I'm so loved! Steve told me that since he's taken a couple physics classes and tutored a bunch of physics students, that the best thing to do is do the free-response questions first and then do the multiple choice. Which makes a heck of a lotta sense, since you have at least 1/4 or 1/5 of a chance of getting a right answer instead of like 1/infinity. And actually I did have to sorta guess on the last couple multiple choice questions, but I think the ones that I had to guess on, the total point value was like 6 or something....I'm pretty sure the test was out of 100.
One "funny" thing that just managed to happen right before the class/test started: I went with Ellen to the U Village to hang out and talk and she got me a peach smoothie and I carried it into physics and sat down and was getting all my stuff out, and there was this guy who was next to me who was from the previous class and was getting his stuff in order and getting out of there. I'm still not sure if it was my fault or his, but all of a sudden *PLOP* ...smoosh. Yeah, my peach smoothie decided to take a suicide leap off the corner of my desk. Couldn't stand the pressure I guess...the container busted a hole on the bottom so I had to keep my hand underneath it while I ran out and threw it away, then I had to go search for a bathroom and grab paper towels and I spent the first 5 minutes of the class trying to contain the spill while everyone else was filling in the bubbles for their name and student ID. Well, I guess it was a good thing in the end since I probably would have taken precious seconds away from doing the test if I stopped to take a drink, and it wouldn't have fit very well on those crappy little puny pull-up desks in the lecture hall. I feel pretty good though, for sure I'm not going to waste the weekend worrying about that dumb test. I don't feel altogether too tired either, thanks to that very nice hour and 45 min. nap earlier today.

I want to put a link to this from my AIM profile but I can't because I have too much stuff on there. So I thought I'd just move them here.
I have a BookCrossing Bookshelf which you totally have to check out, there's a cute picture of me in braids and I just think the whole concept of BookCrossing is awesome. I have yet to 'set free' another book but hopefully I will soon! It'll probably be The Color Purple(What's this book about?).
So I realized that Blogging is a really good way to keep in touch / update everyone about what's going on with me....especially if I don't talk to them often or don't see them. :) My reasoning is that this is ACTUALLY going to save me time. Anyone who cares or is bored can just read what I blog and then they don't need to IM me. It's like I'm mass IMing!! Diane can attest to the fact that IMing takes up an incredible amount of time and it's so hard to stop. Conversations can last for 2-3+ hours on IM and if they had just been over the phone, they would probably only last 1 hour max. Okay, so I came to this realization from reading Steve, Zach, and that one time of Christine's Blogs. They're all cool friends and it's interesting knowing what's up with them whenever I want instead of having to ask them and then them giving me this hour long lecture about what's been going on for the past two months so they can tell me about what happened yesterday so I'd understand. I guess Dan isn't going to benefit much from this, I tell him everything so reading this would just be review for him. Maybe I'll just blog when something funny happens, like if Diane talks in her sleep again :D. I wonder where she is? I haven't seen her all day since I woke up and she was still sleeping. She pretty much 'kind of' got up when I left. Well anyway, yeah it's getting to that late time when I should go take a shower and go to sleep. Ahhhh...Physics Exam tomorrow :( I wish Dan could take it for me :). I Love you so much Dan!!! :-*
