mid term and essays

time goes by fast in this quarter system

Dang it's the first mid term already?!


blew up my Anthropology, easier than a piece of cake.

Macro Economics was an easy kill.

eh, PolySci.... working on it...although it's gonna be a though assignment since I got so much work to do this weekend(24 hours in total for three days), all I got is monday afternoon, tuesday night, and wednesday morning to finish that crap before class starts at 12:30 that day.

Photography mid term, yes you heard me, mid term for a photo class, how stupid is that, can't help having a professor that thinks he himself is super funny.



anyways. I developed my second third and fourth roll of B&W film on Thursday in less then one hour, which is quite impressive considering the result film that came out.

Nah, I'm not going to scan them anytime soon, they some how are still too curved up.


So I'm back in the mailing business.
Start expecting postcard arrivals soon.



And yes, I started working on my application to transfer to columbia college chicago.
And I saw the essay.......

Rocket science.

today was the day that I developed the first roll of film on my own.
B&W

It was tricky.

rolling the film onto the developing sprocket in total darkness was a bit hard.

didn't do it too good, a few frames on the film to overlay eachother, resulting in that part of the film didn't absorb enough developer chemicals and got "killed"

but most part of he other frames came out pretty decent.


I still got two rolls to work on later. Hope it comes out better.


btw I started to attend vollyball nights every tuesday and thursday at the local(not really) church with Brody and Mikey(both are James long time good friends here in the Bay area).
I really need to exercise more to get myself in shape and stuff.

ugh, I pulled my quad tonight trying to save a play...

complaints

I'm sorry if I have blogged in such a while and still I keep on telling people the blog more.


Things have been a bit tough for me the since school started and non stop working.



I donno.


30+ hours of work per week is just way too much for my 15 credit school work.
But I need those 30+ hours of work to get rid of my debt asap.
Then, my work place is understaffed and the store manager still does not want to hire more people to spread the work load. Then I'm forced to work more than 30+ when I needed time for school and life.


It's funny how things work these days.
when you got too much time and too less to do, you just can't even find a thing to do.
but when you got a job and money, you just can't find the time to sleep and the opportunity to spend the money.


I really want to take a vacation away from this crappy place, I wanna go to Salt Lake city and see all the friends I miss, or hawaii, the place that I met all the wonderful lovely people.

I miss all of you.
No need to type down all the names.
You know I miss you.


I'm going to try to get back on the blogging "business".

And I got wonderful hawaii photos on beautiful slide film just developed.

Look forward to my future posts.

10 years into the number 2000

Shoots.

It felt like it wasn't too long ago when I saw those two planes crash into the two world trade centers.
Thats was one fresh memory I somehow had when I was in junior high school, like a book mark.
But if you really go and count how much days it had been till now, 9 years is a long time.

Hmm.

2009 was a fairly good year I gotta say.
My second year in the states consecutively.(If you wanna count in the years spent in Ohio, then this would be my 7th year)
Despite the fact that I was unemployed for a whole 9 months.
Traveled a lot. Texas, Utah, Guatemala, Yellowstone, Mexico.
Did way less stupid things comparing with 2008.
Procrastinated hell lot.(All those days at home)
Drank lots of Dr.Pepper, which gave me plenty of cavities also. :/
Left hawaii, and went back again, which was the sweetest.
Saw the Yankee's won their 27th World Series title.
Went into heck lots of debt.
Came back to cali and got a job.
hmm.
Not bad at all.


So for the very beginning of 2010.
I had work on new years eve.
It's gonna be the same thing on the first day of 2010.

Hmm. I think this is the first time in my life I didn't really celebrate new years, just suddenly realize it's just meaningless to celebrate.

Glad I get paid double for work today(Jan 1st).

Technically, I don't really have any new plans for 2010, but it's not really like I don't have plans, it's just that I consistently make up plans for the future. I don't need a "new year" so I can plan for new things, dude, everyday is a new day.

But I bet you guys must be interested, so I'll repeat those plans that are happening in 2010 I planned out before:

-Try to get into Columbia College Chicago for their photography program.
-Get rid of debt.
-Work in Houston selling pest control making bank?
-Get my body more in shape
-Try to save up some money rather than spending them all.


hmm. we'll see how this year goes.

we'll see.
