Beware the Ides of March
Sunday, February 27, 2005
Yup... the title of this post is a line from Julius Ceasar...
I've been complaining about all the term papers I have to do in March, but now that its around the corner, it's time to suck it up, bury myself in research, and write four good essays. As long as I keep focus, I should be able to pull it off... then its exam time already, and that's third year. Each year seems to go by faster and faster (*o*)
My reading break in Calgary was pretty fun... it was half and half hanging out and studying.
First Friday : Got in late at night, and most of the gang went over to my place. Just did some catching up and played pool.
First Saturday : Slept in :p (my dorm bed sucks so much compared to my bed at home). Went to Jeremy's birthday dinner and church afterwards. Eric got baptized (hehe althought they almost skipped over him) and I spent the rest of the nights with my parents, who left on their cruise early sunday morning.
First Sunday : Started studying... and it snowed in the day ! Drove through the snow for bubble tea later in the night.
Monday : Went to chinook with the gang... we headed to Sheridan's house later for poker and taboo.
Tuesday : Study Day
Wednesday : Visited STS with Tiff and Jason... went for sushi at night (for Jeremy's birthday again). It was pretty ~oishi too hehe (^o^)
Thursday : Another Study Day
Friday : We actually went to the International Bobsleigh Competition @ COP.
It was definitely an interesting experience... they sure like yelling to psych themselves up before a run (@_@). Went to my house afterwards.
Saturday : A church service I was very grateful to attend... Pastor Ryan gave his last sermon as a pastor in our church, and it was sad to see him go. He's definitely a talented speaker, and I'll miss his sermons. I also saw the new First Alliance building... it's huge!
Sunday : Headed back to Vancouver to study for midterms!
I had a lot of good times... but I had to study too. My US presidency midterm was pretty tough.. the other midterms were pretty doable.
Oh yah, I changed up the music section on the side -->
All the sites i used to go to for jpop and mandarin music have died off :(
Right now i'm just looking up songs that I heard on the OC on Limewire, hehe.

Heh, the time between my posts is getting longer and longer...
I'm spending my reading break back at home, which I'm really happy about... I haven't been here since October ! Unfortunately, UBC's break was early this year, so it doesn't coincide with UoC's break :( I also have all my midterms immediately after this week, so I have to spend alot of time actually reading during the... uh... reading break. Aiya... what can you do ?
I spent a little time doing some art... still trying to practice how to draw girls (I REALLY suck at drawing girls). The pic below obviously wasn't done freehand... i copied a pose from the manga I"s (I literally traced it over on adobe). I had fun coloring it in and changing the hair / face / clothes though (^_^). The hair took a lot of hit-and-miss blurring & smudging... one of these days i'll learn how to do it properly :p
I also learned the usefulness of the 'paint daubs' filter... it has a pretty nice effect.
Man, after these midterms it's all, well, uphill from here. I have to start researching like crazy for my term papers: I've never done 4 simultaneously before, so that should be TONS of fun. I already signed up for a LSAT course from April 30th to May 30th, and I'll be taking the LSAT at the beginning of June. Hopefully things will go well... I will probably take a summer school course while I'm in Vancouver. I'll also have to look for volunteer work and a part-time job for later in the Summer (when I'm actually in town).
Last, but not least...
Happy New Year ! (^o^)
