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!
The math final went well. I finished with an hour and 20 minutes to spare, and then I spent another 1/2 hour checking over work and then finally I couldn't stand it anymore and I left. It was in a medium sized lecture hall auditorium. Slightly bigger than my physics lecture room, but about half the size of my chemistry lecture hall. Phew, at least I'm done cramming integrals for now. Can't think of anything else to say at the moment.

Not having physics lab is SO great! I get a break from having to do them for about three weeks. Then it's 122 labs :(. So I was just with Diane and George and a bunch of other people at the HUB playing DDR. Even though I'm pretty sure everyone reading this would know what DDR is, here is a link to a page that explains what DDR is and also some videos of hella good DDR players. I really sucked it up. George and his friends were good though, but at one point, I had my face buried in my cardigan and was practically suffocating from laughing into it. This was because:
#1) Their hands are positioned really really oddly when they play and the 'dancing' on a whole looks extremely silly.
#2) Never stand less than a yard from guys playing DDR because it smells SO BAD. What's with guys and sweat? Ewww.
Hey, as a little note, if you're reading this, take the poll.

Yesterday was interesting. I almost forgot I had to volunteer for Phi Eta Sigma but I went and we took a bus down near the Seattle Center and went to this TV station, KCTV. We sat around watching a TV which of course was playing the channel and we watched part of "One Stroke Painting" about making a 'pond' room, and part of a show about glass breaking. Anyway, then they tell give us all these instructions on how to answer phones, we were there to take pledges from people in the US and Canada, it was JUST like it is on TV, there were those rows of long tables and people sitting by a phone and near the front there was this man and this woman who talked during each break and said how if you pledge $50, you can get a As Time Goes By Mug, $60 As Time Goes By Video and finally with a $70 pledge you can get the As Time Goes By DVD. Obviously, this was the show that was running while we were there handling the phones. I just happened to pick the one seat that was behind the woman who spoke and so every time there was a break in the program, they would show her talking and I would be in the background. And yes, this was a live stream. They actually interviewed the girl that was in charge of us all, and after that one of the phone calls I got was like, "Hey, I used to go to UW too! What's your major? Are you a freshman? Good for you!" I had NO idea going into the volunteer activity that I was going to be on TV, live, answering phones like that, with no make-up on. NEVER go into telemarketing, it is seriously the most stressful job ever. Besides the fact that I was on TV, live, had to write down 16 digit credit card numbers, and listen to Canadian people give me their weird names and addresses, in the middle of it all, there was this huge group of kids that came and stood off to the side and stared at us, they were apparently on a field trip. And the freaking people didn't feed us until like 3 and I got only 2 bites of oatmeal between like 11 AM til then so I was starving. The TV station is kind of part of PBS I guess, where they don't have commericals, so they make money by fund raising items like that.
Then when I finally got to get back at like 6ish, I did Chemistry off and on until I finished it, then spent the rest of the time talking to Nick, who was hanging out in our room reading. :) He even says himself that he has no life now that the CS game that Diane and him were working on frantically this past week or so is finished. It's actually a really rad game with a great interface, you should have seen the 1.0 version. Anyway, yeah, here's a cool site. Everything2.com I went to sleep at 4:30. I feel kind of weird.

Waahh, what am I still doing up?! Web design is SO addicting! Please check out the comments link that's at the bottom of every new blog, LOL I just spent like an hour or so making the smilies page pop up in a separate window. And it finally works I think. And I'm happy :).

I feel today has been a good mix of hanging out and being productive. I got woken up again by a phone call, this time by Justin, then I went and did laundry. Man, I had SO much clothes, it must have been at least two weeks worth of clothes and it took up three loads, one color/heavy clothes, one jeans/pants, and the other for whites/socks/underclothes. I gotta tell ya, it was somewhat of a workout lugging all that stuff down there and then lugging it back up, but hey, you know me, I'm superbuff ;)! Then I spent the rest of the day hanging up clothes and cleaning our dirty dirty room.
The fun activity of the night was rad. My good buddy Mike, whom I haven't seen for about five or six years, came and visited.
Brief background info: Mike and I were good friends back in sixth and seventh grade when we both lived in podunk Laramie, WY. He moved to FL and I moved to WA pretty much at the same time, within about half a year of each other I think. Amazingly, we've kept in contact since then and we each have a pretty good, vague idea of what the other has been up to since then. I am just out to Asianize everyone! :D I introduced him to bubble tea and ;) because I'm 'cruel' like that, I told him the tapioca pearls were fish eggs. And yes, I had a terrific time laughing at his reaction. AND *shock* he's never had pho!! Anyway, he's still a fabulous story teller, ask Diane, she was laughing so hard at dinner that I think she was crying! It's crazy that I got to hang out with him, I guess I kind of never expected that I'd ever see him again and he seems pretty much the same, just taller. :) Maybe someday that means I'll get to see my good buddy Craig whom I've also kept in touch with who still lives in Laramie. And maybe, just maybe, someday the whole football club will get together and we'll play a rousing game of tackle football or smear the queer, just like the good ol' days back in 5th grade. :) ahh, never give up childhood.
Whoo, now for some hardcore HW crunching....or not.
