Yogiberryyyy
I have brought up the topic of potentially going to HKG for winter to the parents. I don't think they will react well.
I need to charge my laptop. And my iPod. And everything electronic that I own. Everything is out of battery haha. fail.
I like the new Yogiberry place in College Park. I actually didn't like Yogiberry after coming home from HK but this place is different from the place in rockville. It is sold by weight so you can get as much or as little as you want. Plus they have alot more flavors than the other place. Instead of the traditional original and green tea, they have flavors like Taro, Lychee, Strawberry, Blueberry, Melon and more.
I'm a big fan of my favorite purple taro. It doesn't even hold a candle to the Taro ice cream in HK but the reminiscent flavor has me coming back for just a bit. $0.45 per oz, you can just get enough to satisfy your sweet cravings for just a few dollars. Its a good idea in esp in this economy, even students aren't willing to plop down $6-8 for a sweet treat.
I'll definitely be back for more.

I dread 380 like no other. Its so bad its probably unhealthy. I kind of don't want to go today, but I know that I must eventually go to office hours by Thursday. I don't know what the fuck is wrong with me. Why am I so scared of going to ask for help. I'm obviously incapable of learning this shit straight from the book. That and the fact that there is no partial credit whatsoever. FML.
Starbucks + Pike Place Roast makes it just a little bit better.
Starbucks is effective because I don't have access to internet here haha. I'm certainly not paying for internet. So, good coffee and no internet access = productivity. I like this place. Its nicer than Stamp. Only because I get sporadic internet access at Stamp and I spend a decent amount of time trying to get my connection to work so that I can check email and facebook. fail.

mmmmm =)
I have forgotten how delicious Starbucks' fresh brewed coffee is. Not the super flavored and sugared up lattes and fraps, but just plain hot brewed or iced coffee. Pike Place Roast is by far superior to McDonalds and ChikfilA coffee. I can't believe how delicious it is and that the last time I had it was sophomore year. At twice the price with no refills, it will be reserved for super studying occassions. Starbucks is a great place to study for engineering and math. There is free internet access and all of my study materials are offline anyways. It forces me to study since there is no other viable option to procrastinate.
That cup of coffee was so good.
There is this obnoxiously loud guy here though and he is letting everybody know about his problems with his family. He is just one of those people who are loud and don't have a clue. Thank god I brought earplugs or he would have drive me insane.
I need to get a new drivers license sometime this week. I need to get my passport or some other form of ID to get a new one. Maybe I will go home this weekend and get it.
241 exam comes back maybe today? If its anything like the way 380 is, I don't want it back. I'd rather just crawl under a boulder and die.
I need to get back into the habit of doing p90 at least every other day. It keeps me sane. Bring it! ^_^
Maybe I should bake something delicious this week after Wednesday. Lots of fun matlab due this week. Have to go get owned at office hours. SAIC project needs to be worked on. I am completely unfunctional if I get less than 7 hours of sleep each night. Its weird cos I totally survived through the first three years of college with random sleep. I dunno if I am doing better this year. I think too many classes with too little time. History paper to write this weekend -__-" I need to pick a topic before Wednesday. Need to get an A on this nonsense.
Holy god. 241 FTW. I actually did somewhat well on this exam. Incredible. I like this.

Its the home stretch. There is pretty much no stopping until the semester ends at this point. The only class I am really concerned with is 380. Epic fail on this last exam. Like no other. I don't know what I am doing with this shit. Fuck.
I also need to get working on that SAIC project. Omfg so behind on that. Maybe I will work on it tonight. jk. I NEED to work on it tonight.

Mmmm
School frustrates me. I've had at least one exam every single week for the past 8 weeks. Whats going on with this nonsense. So annoying.
I wish I had more time to dedicate to my SAIC project. Its really interesting and I have alot of ideas for it, but so little time to do any of it.
I think its about now in the semester where I start to give up alot of sleep in order to get stuff done. Its terrible though because even now when I sleep at 1 and get up at 8, I am exhausted and ready to pass out by the time midnight rolls around. I don't know how I used to do it before. I gotta get back into that habit. That terrible habit.
I noticed that the keyboard on my Eee shows wear really quickly. I've had this thing for under two months now, using it abt two times a week for light typing in history class and I can already see the areas on the keyboard that are starting to get shiny. Funny b/c on my MS keyboard, I've used that thing for over three years now and it hasn't shown any sort of wear whatsoever. And I bang on that thing day and night. My HP laptop keyboard is pretty worn in although not the worst. It doesn't really bother me but I just found it kinda interesting. I wonder how MS's is designed to withstand so much more wear.
I need to memorize shit for tmrw's 241 exam... Its weird, engineering usually isn't memorization but I think that in this case, it might help me do better.
Four hours of sleep last night is not doing me any good. I could use a decent nap after dinner. And then hopefully that will keep me going for the rest of the night. Probably not going to three of my four morning classes again. 241 exam is at 2. Dinner at Matchbox though. At least there is something to look forward to. Marcus is leaving for Germany at the end of December! :( Sometimes I wish I could do the things that he does. But I am too chicken shit to even dare. And then, I need to keep up with 380 by reading the lecture notes this weekend. Math exam next week that I need to ace. I need to start understanding what the fuck is happening in 246.
Its week 11 of the semester. Only five more weeks left. Well four and a half. And then finals are here.
I think I need to get the hell out this weekend. Maybe I'll go wander DC. Or maybe I'll just leave early tmrw and do take a walk before dinner. Might be a better idea unless I decide to nap.
Plane tickets are getting more expensive. I think about it now, and I feel like its not a very good decision to go. But then I think about next semester and I kinda just want to go and not come back. I miss the culture.
