Time management

I think i've spent way too much money on games. and consequently, time.

- Beatmania IIDX 8th style - $40 + 13 customs
- Beatmania US bundle - $35
- Random stuff on DealExtreme.com - probably about $30
- Mario Kart DS - $25
- Taiko no Tatsujin - $30
- R: Racing Evolution - $5
- Pop'n music controller - $55

My marks, however, are probably quite low. Sigh....

halftime

I've finished about half of my midterms, and I've already switched to relax mode. Ahh well.

This morning, I realized that I was missing a palm pilot. Couldn't find it anywhere; I must have dropped it sometime before or after the physics exam last night. Hopefully, the person who picked it up bothered to check my phone number on the contact list. But meanwhile, there goes my planner T_T

Today, with only one class to attend, I decided to bus over near Conestoga Mall to buy DDR Max and some extras. And here it is! ^^


Ahh...feels nice to own a legal import game. And it only cost about $19! WINNER!!



Anyway, random Youtube video! Or at least an interesting one..there are 5 parts, so yeah. Kinda liked it. A little predictable, but a powerful message.

EDIT: That vid would make the best valentine's day video. Be sure to watch it!!

ice

First laundry experience didn't really go well. Either the washing machine didn't fling the clothes dry, or the dryer didn't work. Or both. But whatever it was, I ended up lugging around a bag full of clothes and water.

Thankfully, I could hang clothes around in my room to air dry. Or even in front of the heater, where I made a little grill. Mmm...toasty socks...XD


This morning, I woke up late for the bus to church. I had about 10 minutes to run all the way from Village 1 to UWP, about 2/3 across the campus. So, with Bible and french vanilla in hand, I departed on my first morning run. Being sore from playing DDR last night didn't exactly help either.

I made it to the stop with about two minutes to spare, at which time I enjoyed my nice somewhat-fresh caffeine serving for the day. Oh yeah, that was real good. =)


After I got home from church, I noticed some ice on my window. On the inside. Window was frozen, and there was a pool of water on the windowsill. Nice.



Kay, back to studying.




EDIT: forgot to add....I met my calc TA at church today. lol

ta: "I didn't see you at the tutorial last week!"
me: "...um...yeah."

ahh, nice to wake up to a saturday morning...err, afternoon

I slept in till about 12 today. Boy, was I tired. Yesterday, I had the most terrible midterm ever. Our prof said that the exam was easy. It was (somewhat), but he didn't tell us that he wasn't going to include the equation sheet. Sneaky sneaky...-___- So, it was as if I didn't study for this exam at all. I'm sure I won't hear the end of it from my prof on monday.

Speaking of monday, I have a calc midterm on that day, and some more afterwards. And reading week in two weeks!!! yaaaaaaaaaaaa~~~~


Ahh yes..the joys of using a laptop/tablet. Now I can write my notes (probably not going to happen), or just replace the many sheets of paper used for studying and reviewing. I can even play Linerider and even doodle. Thanks to my bro who lent me his laptop for university.

Okay, time to go eat lunch, possibly learn how to do laundry (yes, it's sad lol), and relax!! err, i mean study..

burp

ahh...i've really learned to love those french vanillas from Tim Hortons. It tastes better than coffee, and STILL manages to keep you awake for most of the boring classes. All in all, it's so WINNER...XD


Res isn't too bad; occasionally I'd hear some loud subwoofer resonating with my cork wall (yes, cork) and some guy and girl in towels asking to borrow the phone. Can't forget the drunk people outside breaking bottles during the weekend.

Oh! oh! Then there was this time when I heard thumping noises coming from the upper floor. I wondered who would be annoying enough to dribble a basketball indoors. Then I realized the thumps were on beat....nooo waaaayyy......... Then I went up and asked if i could play. XD


Food wise, the caf food is good whenever they know what they're cooking...like pizza, burgers, wraps, sandwiches, or most "western" food. When they try to make something nice, it always looks better than it tastes. Namely the steak, which is essentially a slab of grilled burger meat. Pork chops are too well done and dry; and the rice absolutely FAILS. The only place I can get remotely good chinese food is at the DC library, where I usually go for lunch everyday now. The chinese cooks may be soulless now, but at least they can cook something relatively enjoyable.

Anyway, it's been kind of a rough start at school, but I'm slowly adjusting. I hate those computer delivered tutorials on friday (they're similar to the computerized version of the G1 exams). Great way to make you feel stupid and hopeless for the weekend.

Job postings start today, and I still need to edit and convert my resumé into html format, as required by the online JobMine system. I hope i can get a job in toronto; I heard there were plenty in markham. And one in HK. wheee!!!


I better sleep. I'll need a french vanilla tomorrow.



EDIT: Boy, there sure is an unexpected DDR popularity at CCF.

back at the 'loo

the residence isn't too bad. It's still kinda quiet around since people are still moving in, but it'll probably get noisier in a few hours.

Two things that bother me now...first, the lack of internet. ResNet doesn't seem to like my computer, so I have to go downstairs to use the local internet terminals (which are Macs with windows XP, lol). My other qualm is the lack of hot water in the bathroom. I stood in the shower for five minutes waiting for the water to get warm, and it didn't. bleh. least productive thing i did so far.

anyway, classes start tomorrow, so i'll be trying to buy books. bleh. -_-
