How Tragic

Everyone died in history.

This one had other problems.

Routine

After a few weeks of an experience, we all fall into a routine.  Although this may be good, it usually leads to complacency in many cases.  Whatever.

8:30: Wake up, go eat breakfast.

9:30 - 1:30: Time for classes on most days.

1:30-11:30: Free time: activities, homework, chilling, etc.

11:30-2:30: Focus on homework (if it still exists).

I know, it's sad, but it's all I've got.  I eat lunch and dinner somewhere in there to, just so you know.

I don't understand why they even have taro flavor.  No one here knows what it is unless they're from Hawaii.  And even then, I'm the only one who likes it.

This brings back bad memories.  I'm sure Cameron knows how to run a FloEFD test by now.

Tulga: I'll come tomorrow.
Tomorrow: No Tulga.
doc!: "You guys better hope the other teams have Tulgas."













There was shaved ice at a carnival themed night at Schatz.  Meh.  It was too chunky.  Too bad they don't have a Tsukiji here.

By request, we have a video of Harry 'speakng British'.  Enjoy.

Strawberries! :3

There's an iPod app for the popular 'Nyan Cat'. I feel like abused it. Small kine.

There was a PSO concert. They are so amazingly amazing. The brass are unnecessarily loud. Especially that bass trombonist.

Rundown of the concert:

Felix Mendelssohn: Symphony No. 4 in A major, Opus 90, "Italian" I. Allegro vivace Felix Mendelssohn: Concerto in E minor for Violin and Orchestra, Opus 64 I. Allegro molto appassionato II. Andante III. Allegretto non troppo - Allegro molto vivace Ms. Mutter Georges Bizet: Suite from Carmen Les Toréadors Prélude Intermezzo Les dragons d'Alcala Pablo DeSarasate: Fantasy on Bizet's Carmen for Violin and Orchestra, Opus 25 Introduction: Allegro moderato I. Moderato II. Lento assai III. Allegro moderato IV. Moderato Ms. Mutter Maurice Ravel: Boléro

Anne-Sophie Mutter! :3

Some Strange Thing Has Gone Around

There was a Chinese theme at the diner. There was a hearty lack of traditional Chinese meat. The veggies were pretty authentic, though. There was even rice! And chopsticks! Fuufuufuu...

This is Jose, the Mexican.

So I come back to the dorm one day, and I find some strange spots by the elevator and on my bed. I hope the two cases aren't related much, but I am quite disturbed.

I made a new friend this week! Her name is Melanie, and we met because we were both dozing off in history lecture. :3

'Hawaiian' Foods at Schatz

There was a luau at Schatz diner today organized by some clubs. To quote Lynn: "Nice try." It was disappointing to find no taro flavored ice cream at the ice cream bar. They gave all of us these cheap plastic leis at the door. If I hadn't lived in Hawaii since I was four, I would have been impressed.

On another note, CMU just got a massive donation of 256 million dollars. According to someone in the Physics Lounge, that's the 14th largest donation to a private institution ever. The president was so excited he had fireworks.

Despite my combination of classes being somewhat difficult, I really enjoy the academic experience here at CMU. Fundamentals of Programming is making me think like I've never thought before. And I'm still getting nowhere.

On Appreciation

I feel obligated to do a serious post without my cynical humor every once in awhile. Maybe this could even improve my English. Don't get bored now. Well, to write something like this, one must overflow with arrogance and conceit, both of which I have an overabundance of.

Although my Calculus 3 class contains freshman who have obtained sufficient credit during their high school years to opt out of Calculus 1 and 2, there are many juniors in the class. These upperclassmen are all hard workers and great people, but why are they in a class full of freshmen? The answer lies in the opportunities that they were given. Not all schools in the US offer as many AP courses for college credit as Iolani does. Plus, there are many international students who don't even have an opportunity to place out of courses with information they have already mastered.

There is a boy on my floor who got rejected by all the schools the first year he applied to college. But you know what, he didn't give up. He got some jobs, gained some experience, and applied again. Now he's at one of the top institutions for higher education in the nation.

Moral: don't complain and be appreciative.

Someone (mother) wanted a picture of Harry up close.
