happy halloween!

happy halloween!

i’m glad it’s tuesday. i

i’m glad it’s tuesday. i only have one class and work. ) what a relaxing day. yesterday at around 9 p.m., i was watching “3rd watch” on tv. then i noticed there was a fire alarm sound. i thought it was part of the show because it is about paramedics and firefighters. anyway, the show was interesting. stuff about the september 11. it was sad. anyway, so finally i realize that this fire alarm is in my building so i put on a wool coat since i am in my pjs and go outside because you never know if it’s a real fire. after standing outside for fifteen minutes, the firetrucks didn’t leave. instead, about ten of them went inside in all their firewear, so i guess there must have been a small fire or something! we waited outside for an hour about. it was weird. when i finally got back, 3rd watch was over. ( isn’t that great? well, none of your are commenting! i feel so sad. oh well, it just shows how no one really reads my blogs. p oh yeah i’m aware of how ugly my dreambook is, i don’t plan on trying to fix it since no one signs it. well i’m off to get ready for class.

today was the worse day

today was the worse day ever! for the few people who read my boring blogs pretty regularly, you guys are all aware that i have three exams today. actually i might not have mentioned that i have three exams today, but anyway, i do! so i wake up at 9:50 am! i sit up and i am freaking out because my accounting test is at 9:30 a.m. so i get up and go to my computer and write an email to my professor. since this is the first time i’ve ever missed a test, i wondered what i would say in my email. should i say i woke up late, or should i say i was sick. i debated for awhile since the bathroom was occupied. i decided to be truthful because my professor seemed somewhat nice. after sending out the email, i decided that i might as well go to class and speak to him about my problem. i got to class at around 10:10, five minutes before the exam ended. i informed him of my situation, and he said i could take the exam in his office! so we go to his office at 10:30 and he gives me the entire 45 minutes for the exam! some other girl missed the exam too, so we both took it. he was so accomodating, he even closed the blinds for us. now i almost feel bad for missing his classes. i will attend his class more often now. he seems like such a nice guy. during the test, he checked his email and then asked me if i was the one who emailed him. and i was like yeah, and he started to laugh. hehe. i was pretty disoriented in that email, but anyway i’m glad he was so nice about this whole thing. he’s like it’s ok, this happens to everyone sometime in their life.

i missed my chinese class in order to take this exam because i figured my chinese professor will be more forgiving. she hasn’t emailed me back yet, but i’ll go to her office at 3:30 to see if she’s there and drop off my chinese hw. i don’t think i failed my philosophy exam. i might have passed. the exam was exactly like the study questions. my philosophy teacher came in late, so we didn’t have that much time. my intros and conclusions sucked big time, but i hope he doesn’t really mind that. anyway, i should go study for my chinese quiz just in case she will be there. ok, well that’s my babble for now. )

today is study day. i

today is study day. i got up at 10:30 am and started laundry. it should be done soon so i can begin my hardcore cramming. :/ oh yeah my roomie was going to dump her boyfriend yesterday, but it didn’t happen. if a 26 year old guy told me he was moving to pittsburgh because he wanted to be with me, i definitely would be scare. that is freaky. she’s only known him for like five months. anyway, i personally feel he is no good for tania, but that’s just my opinion. if he moves here, he better get his own place, because he is not welcomed here! ok well i have to go tend my laundry. i’ll blog later when i am procrastinating. =p

today wasn’t a very interesting

today wasn’t a very interesting day. i had work as usual at 12. i shelved some magazines and books. then my boss told me i could do my homework. i finished my chinese homework and was waiting for the guy working at the front desk to leave so i could work. i was sitting at a desk in the back chatting on aim because there was nothing to do. finally like an hour later, it’s 2:00 p.m., and eric (i think that’s his name) leaves and i’m all ready to go to the front desk, but these two other co-workers take my spot at the front desk. i just sit in the back chatting for an hour. it was pretty boring. i even started to plan out my spring semester classes. i’m not sure if i’ll be able to fulfill my chinese minor’s requirements. blah. i’m so sick of taking five classes per semester. ( right now i’m taking a short break from my stats homework. i have so much work to do. ugh. anyway, i’m watching game 1 of the world series. the diamondbacks just got two runs. ugh! so bad, i think i’m bad luck for the yankees. i just won’t watch. the score is 3-1, diamondbacks. we can make a comeback! ) i know we can. i really hope so. i also have to do an old accounting hw because i didn’t even know there was a hw due on friday. blah! ok bye. i’m so stressed out. i have two exams and a quiz on monday. :/

it’s friday. i’m so tired.

it’s friday. i’m so tired. i don’t feel so good. this cold weather is definitely not helping at all. so cold :/ i’ll have to drag my butt to class. i guess i’m glad it’s friday. i’m going to go watch “america’s sweethearts”. maybe that’ll cheer me up since i’m so blah. oh well, sorry for the short and boring blog. everyone has bad days.

this weekend is going to

this weekend is going to suck. the new stats homework is due on monday. i guess i’ll be working on it friday night. i really want to see the movie though. ugh. so many decisions. ( i have work in ten minutes. grr. well i’ll blog more later when i’m procrastinating. :/

stats homework was crazy. i

stats homework was crazy. i went to stats class late, ooops. we were learning real statistics! z-scores and stuff like that. kind of pointless since i already learned that in senior year. anyway, we’re supposed to have another homework, i really hope it’s not due on monday. i might die. i just checked if bilonick posted the hw, but he hasn’t. argh. i just want to see how bad it will be. after stats, i went straight to the gym to work out. then i ate some dinner and came back to shower. during my shower, i realized that it was wednesday, and therefore it was felicity night! woohoo. so i watched felicity. ben and felicity are back together! yay. hehe. well, i better go do some philosophy reading. ( laters.

i got to sleep at

i got to sleep at my friend’s room on the sixth floor. it was great sleeping on a nice hard floor. haha. i woke up at 9 am and went back to my room to sleep. i missed my comfy bed. i slept until like 11 am. so nice. i had no classes today because stats lab was cancelled. woohoo. i just had work and this dumb study abroad thing that i sucked horribly at. i had to talk about my trip to shanghai. i hate public speaking. i fear it so much. :/ now i’m working on my stats homework. it sucks. i was going to go work out, but it’s raining, so i’m going to work out tomorrow after stats class. i must! i feel the fat forming. ( ugh. ok hmm….what should i babble about. oh yeah so the yankees beat the mariners 12-3. woohoo! go us. now it’ll be their 4th straight year at the world series. ) well i better get back to my stats. i felt like procrastinating, so i blogged.

i want to say thanks

i want to say thanks for jeff’s support. his capitalization in his blog makes me feel uncomfortable, but that’s ok. jeff is a grad student, so he’s all grown up and uses capitals. hehe. that’s the difference between undergrad and grad. ) jeff was my moral support when i was writing my three philosophy essays. hehe. even though he didn’t help much, his presence relaxed me! hahaah. anyway, so my roomie took me out to dinner, in order to show how grateful she is. hiphiphurray. p i had some beef chow fun. mmmmmmmmmm. ) there’s a yankees game today, and if they win, they’ll be going to the world series for the fourth year straight! woohoo. go yankees. i love jeter. p i only have one more night sleeping in some friend’s room. i’m so excited. this time tomorrow, i will be able to come into my room without calling for permission. woohoo! i’m excited. p i better go back and do some stats homework and find out when i can go to my friend’s room. haha. ok laters…

Hey this is Jeff. I

Hey this is Jeff. I unilaterally added myself to this blog because, well just because. Anyway, I guess Terry has been kicked out of her room for the weekend because some people have no decency. The room mate has her boyfriend over. Why can’t he get a hotel room? Why is it the other room mate’s responsibility to vacate so the girl and her boyfriend can fornicate for the whole weekend? Personally I wouldn’t be so giving as to let a room mate kick me out of the place I pay good damn money for. If I were the boyfriend I would spend some cash and get a hotel room. Have some respect people. Out.

hi i’m at work on

hi i’m at work on a saturday during mid-semester break. what a life i have! well a girl’s gotta make money in order to go shopping like every weekend! haha. i’m sooo bored at work. i did the biggest clean up in my entire life. i had two carts of books. crazy! i hope i don’t have to shelve books today. i really want to leave early so i can go to century iii mall with my friends, but i feel bad for asking. i’ll just stay here and make an extra six bucks. woo enough for a meal! ) anyway, just thought i’d blog since i’m incredibly bored. laters… =p

hi everyone, i changed hosts.

hi everyone, i changed hosts. so if my site was unavailable before, sorry. not like you missed much. anyway, i’m quite aware of how sucky my site is. please don’t remind me. i’ve tried to do all i can do tonight, but i’m all css/html’d out. i want to say thanks to merlin for hosting me for free, and jeff for helping me learn css. yay. i might change my colors soon, so if you don’t like them, just suck it. p

argh i hate html.

argh i hate html.

argh i hate html.

argh i can’t ever put

argh i can’t ever put in links correctly ( take this iq test. it’s pretty cool!

well, i studied another three

well, i studied another three hours for this optimization test. i really hope i do a lot better than the first time. i actually think i’m prepared. julyan and i did all the review questions, and we even went over the old homeworks. after doing that, we even did some additional questions from the textbook. woohoo. we are such studious cmu students. haha. go us. anyway, i’m probably going to study right before opti because i have an hour break. i hope i hope i do well. :/ urgh. i also have a chinese quiz that i’m studying for now. i’m not so worried about that.

here’s the rant of the day. so this girl in my chinese class who will remain nameless, never shows up to class for reasons i don’t care to know. last night she ims me and asks me what she missed in class. blahblahblah. this isn’t her first time missing class and asking me. so i quickly go “away” on aim and sign on a different screen name. it’s not my fault she missed class. 10:30 a.m. isn’t even an early class. i can always make 10:30 classes. anyway, so today i get back from work, and of course i get an im from her. she’s begging me to tell her what happened on monday. so i finally answer and ask why she missed class. “oh i had to write this history paper and i stayed up really late”. blahblah. whatever. so i informed her about how important attendance is and that this is hurting her grade. she’s like really? i’m going to have a better attendance from now on. i tell her about the quiz tomorrow. then she’s like thanks for caring about my grade. i’m like actually i don’t, it’s your grade, not mine. she’s like oh you sound mad, and i’m like bye! because i had to go study with my friend. haha. i rock. i don’t care what you guys think. i guess i was rude, but i’m sick of her perkiness and her ims late at night. “oh what are you doing? what did you do tonight” or during the weekends she ims me with “are you going to any parties? call my cell if you do!” as if i’ll ever call her. hah. puhleeze. i don’t think i could ever party with her. she is too “pure” or whatever, and i could never enjoy myself with her presence. anyway, that’s my rant of the day. a lot of this has been building up since the beginning of the school year. i just can’t take it anymore.

i feel so much better getting that off my chest. haha. gnite. wish me luck on my exam. :/

it’s monday and i’ve attended

it’s monday and i’ve attended four of my five classes. i will be attending my last class shortly. i’m so excited! haha. can you guys sense the sarcasm? anyway, since i didn’t work out yesterday, i decided i’d work out after my 3:30 class. ) i’ve never worked out during the day. i thought there would be less people, but i was mistaken. there were tons of people in both of the gyms. i had to wait a good ten minutes before i could get on an elliptical. lucky me huh. hehe. i’m glad i got to work out, cuz i feel so much better. a lot more relaxed. ) i’m so glad that mid-semester break is just around the corner. my philosophy professor told the class that he’s returning our exams on wednesday. :/ i’m so worried. i worked so hard on it, but this is my first philosophy class since senior year in high school. i have no idea what he expected. argh. i hope i get a b. just a b! i don’t care if it’s a b-, but i think that just my effort is worth a b. :/ i have my second optimization exam on wednesday. i really hope tolle doesn’t make it as long as the first exam. i remember when he announced that there were fifteen minutes left, and i still had like two problems to do. each problem had like five parts to them. grrr. i’m going to go study with julyan tonight. we’re not procrastinating this time, we will ace the test! haha. yeah right. :/ at least this time we have review problems with answers. i’m excited. anyway, i thought it was time for a long blog, so here it is. don’t be expecting anymore! ) well i’ll probably blog later when i come home from studying. julyan and i better study; we usually goof off and get nothing done! oh well, later D

i did a lot of

i did a lot of homework today. i’m so productive. )

hello. my september archive is

hello. my september archive is back! woohoo. thanks jeff for telling me what to do! ) well friday was a very relaxing day. tomorrow i have work. hip hip hurray. i need money. ) ok well, i just wanted to say that my archives are now working! good night p

it’s finally friday. i’m tired.

it’s finally friday. i’m tired. i want a nap please. oh wait, i have four classes today. hip hip hurray. i am so excited to go to every class. :/ after 3:30 i’m going to come back and take a one hour nap. that’s my inspiration to attend all my classes. haha. well i better get dressed for class. my discman should be arriving here today! it’s currently being delivered in pittsburgh. i love how i can track my packages. isn’t technology great (sometimes)? hehe. this week definitely flew by. i remember just last week my parents came for parents weekend. time flies by when you’re having fun. haha. yeah right! well laters!

i’m at a computer cluster

i’m at a computer cluster right now. i’m bored, so i decided i’d update my stupid site. yeah so hi. i have work in 15 minutes. joy. i’m hungry :/ i went to my recitation class for optimization. my opti test is next wednesday! ( i’m going to study for it this weekend. i’m so dead. blah. ok bye!

blogger has been sucking as

blogger has been sucking as of late. sometimes i can’t even update. it’s really irritating me. anyway, so yesterday was a broken day. first i go to the gym and my discman decides to breakdown! good thing it was during the last couple minutes, or else i would have died! so i tried to fix my discman, but it still won’t work. ( i come back to my room and i find like 32098 virus alerts from norton antivirus. something about nimda. ( anyway i scan my entire computer and i run the fixnimda.com and there’s nothing detected. grrr. oh yeah aim was broken for a couple of hours. what an annoying day. haha. it’s sad that these things are bothering me. the ram that i ordered on monday should be arriving today. currently it’s located somewhere in pittsburgh. hah. i can’t wait until i attempt to install it into my motherboard. this will definitely be interesting. ) i’m tired. :/ i want a nap time. now!

ok so um…blogger has been

ok so um…blogger has been really crappy, so finally got the blog that i wrote last night up. yay. today i have zero classes. what a life i have! ) heehee. anyway i woke up at 10. aren’t you guys proud of me? ) well i’m going to go shower and get clean. more later… =D

morning! another monday morning in

morning! another monday morning in freezing pittsburgh. it’s currently 33 degrees farenheit! sooo cold. i dread walking to class. anyway, todays is going to be one crappy day. i can just feel it! 5 long days of classes. (

hi. not much happened today.

hi. not much happened today. i went to eat brunch with my parents. then we went to dave & andy’s for ice cream, and then they went home. i attempted to do some hw, then i went to this library training thing. after i went to work out. now i’m all showered and thinking of doing some chinese…but i don’t know if i feel like it. haha. )

yeah so my 10/5 blog

yeah so my 10/5 blog with that quote about cmu…well i messed up the html, so it’s broken. i can’t seem to fix it because blogger is being annoying! so everyone just ignore that entry since i can’t remove it! :/

i have the best quote

i have the best quote that sums cmu up nicely. “My friends and I were discussing this today—no matter how studious and nerdy we try to be (in order to feel like good students and get good grades), there’s always someone who can out-nerd us. Just go to a computer cluster on a Friday night and you’ll understand.” i got that here. it’s so true! ) i haven’t done anything. i took a two hour nap. time for the gym now. peace out. haha. p

hi my friend thinks he

hi my friend thinks he can take over my site huh? haha. anyway philosophy sucks hardcore. peace out brothas. :P

i can’t see my counter

i can’t see my counter again. ( ugh. anyway, one test down, one more to go. i got my philosophy take home exam. i have to write three essays! argh. each one only needs to be about 250 words. i can do it i can do it! i’m going to do it tonight after i fail probability & stats. :/ oh well, i doubt i’ll be motivated to work, but i will not procrastinate! =) by the way, it’s like summer in pittsburgh again! i can’t believe just two weeks ago it was 40 degrees and i was wearing my wool coat. pittsburgh has some wacky weather! i still wouldn’t be surprised if it snowed tomorrow. ok i’m going to start outlining my philosophy essays…

happy mid-autumn festival! my chinese

happy mid-autumn festival! my chinese teacher brought us homemade mooncakes. they were good! i don’t even like red bean, but i still ate it. it wasn’t so bad. ) anyway, it was pretty cool. my professor explained to us the story about mid-autumn festival. i never knew about that cultural stuff. hehe. i just knew it was during a full moon and that people ate mooncakes. this week is going to be really horrible since i have two exams on wednesday and then i have two essays and one hw due on friday. i have a ton of other things to do too. argh. i can’t wait until friday 3:30 p.m. i’m going to go celebrate! yay. nah i’ll probably end up taking a nap until someone calls me. hehe. well, i don’t know if i’ll have time to blog. what am i saying? i always have time to blog. haha. just another form of procrastination!
