Starting the Summer . . . . ( >^o^)>

Being lazy and having fun all day was nice... but it's time to buckle down already (*o*). It sucks that gas is so expensive now (~102 cents) cuz i'll be doing a lot of driving this summer...


I'm starting to take my LSAT course a lot more seriously now - first, because I accidently misread the times for my saturday class (whoops), and second, because I got WASTED by the first practice exam. Reading comprehension and even logical reasoning isn't all that bad... but Logic Games are the worst! A logic game usually involves a bunch of different people, items, and actions; a list of rules you have to follow; and you either match the entities, or figure out different ordering, etc. It doesn't sound all that difficult, but you get a really small amount of time for each one... only practice will help with that one.


I've been playing a lot of badminton recently too :p I'm Sloooooooowly getting better at it, but it's alot of fun and it's pretty good exercise. My dad actually bought me a badminton bag on his way back from Davao... too bad I don't actually own a raquet (o_O). Mwahaha.. a perfect excuse to buy a Yonex with the ol' credit card...



And Sundays are starting to become a highlight of the week again with the return of Family Guy (and Stewie!). Last Sunday's episode had Stewie doing the robot, and it was the funniest thing I've seen on TV in a long time (^o^). He hasn't been very evil lately though - I miss the days when he threatened to kill people for putting sprinkles on his ice cream, hehe.


I'll also be house hunting (again) with my mom this coming weekend... hopefully we can find a nice place soon (maybe i'll even get to live there in the summer :D).

Whoops forgot about this thing :P

Wow it's been a while since I touched this thing huh...
Not a whole lot has happened since my last post...
I finished all my essays on time, and my profs were
quite generous with their marks this term ( ^o^ whew!)...
Exams were kind of hectic as usual.. hopefully i'll get
all my marks sometimes soon

I tried studying with a group from Campus Crusade this
year... it actually helps most of the time - you tend not
to nod off as much when there's ppl around who can
hear you snoring ( *___* )

I moved out of my dorm already... that took FOREVER!
It was kinda sad to say goodbye to my dorm mates and
my room, but I'm hoping that we'll find a nice apartment/
townhouse/house in vancouver for next year (^_^)

Heh like i said before, this summer will be quite busy:
  • LSAT Course (which started on Saturday already)
  • The actual LSAT (June 6)
  • Two Summer school classes in July and August
  • Volunteer Work for May and June
  • July = Philippines and hopefully Japan (for the expo!)
  • Catching up on important reading (for Law and Polisci)
  • Start preparing for my bible study next term (I'm planning to help lead it.. hopefully that works out)
I'd also like to get back into drawing... but only if there's time.
It's not much of a priority right now... and I don't really feel
motivated to spend time coloring again (>__<). Heh i'll write a better post sometime soon... I'm just writing a quick one before I fall asleep :p Here's to a productive and hopefully fun summer !

One-Hour Blog

I've been giving myself an hour break everyday (to make sure I don't go crazy from cramming my brain full of research) and today I felt like finally posting up some pictures on my blog (^_^). I also got tired of the winter banner, so I changed it with some random photo - I'll prolly give this blog a proper update once my essays are done.

Not much has been going on besides working in koerner for the past week or so... I managed to finish my poli 220 essay a day early which is amazing, b/c I've never finished an essay that early before (*o*). So now I'm working on my history essay, which will be considerably longer, but the prof has been pretty thorough about how he wants it written, which is a relief. My US presidency prof replied to my proposal, and told me I'd have to narrow down my topic a lot more, even for a 12 page essay. I have a week to write that one, but I'm still having trouble coming up with a feasible thesis...

On friday was Ben's 20th birthday @ Shabuzan - it was pretty fun, and there was so much food!
( > *____*< ) We had all u can eat hot pot and korean BBQ, and it was like an endless cycle of meat and seafood... eat, order more, eat, order more, etc. for two hours. Unfortunately, I forgot to bring my camera to the restaraunt, so no pictures of the actual food (^_^). We still had cake afterwards too:


I also had a quick dinner with Mike and Sherry on Saturday @ Japone. Hehe, I bombarded Sherry with questions about China for the entire meal... if ony she had lived through the Cultural Revolution hehehe (^_^). I haven't been to Japone in a while... I still think they have the best chicken teriyaki ever. It's a pretty small place on Oak and 65th or sth (somewhere between park and 70th), but it has nice decor and good grilled food.

I'm trying to post a few more pictures this time (although I seem to mainly be talking about food...). After all, it would be pretty lame if my blog was nothing but my complaining and venting (^w^). Here's a couple of wannabe-artsy photos I worked on in CS:




The weather really has been nice here lately... no depressing rain, just sunny, warm weather with a nice breeze. At least my walks between my dorm and koerner have been enjoyable ;)
