Diary: Study and Suppe

I went to school to study at about 2pm and I redid a couple exams in my office. Then, I went home thinking that Kumi and Eric were going to pick me up so that I could get a ride from them. However, they called me and told me that they were cooking and they asked me to meet them at their place. So I picked up Karen and drove to their place. Anyway, Cathy needed a ride too and I picked her up. At the end I drove my car to suppe's home instead of getting a ride from Kumi.

Well, I have not been to Suppe's home for more than a year. He had a very strange face that when he saw me. I remembered that I used to go there quite often before. This time was different because I drink. I drank a bit and I got drunk. But I did manage to take many pics with everyone. (That was good!). I finally got a pic with Dr. Gorsuch which I think she is one of the most beautiful women at her age. Suppe did not start any music to dance so the party ended early and I think we left at about 11pm. I could not drive so I let Taka to drive my lexus to take both Cathy and I home. We got home and I let them to drive my Lebaron so that they could get home. We (I) had a hard time to get the car out from the drive way because Brian's truck was behind. After so many minutes, we got the car out; then Cathy and Taka went home.

It was still early so I went to listen to the Pilot 240 for a bit. I love the sound with the Amperex 12ax7 but I thought the bass was not strong enough so I switched them to the holy Telefunken ribbed plate. Wow! Telefunken is always my favorite tube. The Tele 12ax7s sound very smooth and clean with a lot more bass than the Amprerex but the image and excitement are not very high comparing to the Amperex. (I should not give any conclusion now!) Give them a couple weeks to warm up before I make up my mind!

Diary: CD Player, & Study till midnight

I got up at about 12:30pm and I went to a couple estate sales. I just got a pioneer cd player from one of those sales and I went to school to study prelim. I was in my office to study from 3pm to 12am. I studied until I got very tired of it. I read a lot but I really wanted to read more. Anyway, I went home at 12am and Brian and David were playing PS2 and drinking. Of course, I loved to join them. We then later watched an very old and stupid comedy from Britain then I went to bed.

Diary: Tutoring, and Study

I went to my office at 9 to tutor Michael in order to prepare him for his Calculus final today. Today is a big day for all instructors in Math department since we had all math departmental finals. I followed a long line as usual to pick up the exam at 10 and I went to the Science building 007 to conduct the exam. I shared this classroom with Jennifer who told me she is going to Dallas to work after Summer. I am very happy for her and what she told today to arrange all the seats for my students at the final. After the exam done at 1:30pm, I went back to my office right away to have my late lunch. I also went to Dr. Pearce office to tell him to switch my teaching assignment with Ke. So that I can take a summer class from Mara. I stayed in my office to study till 9pm. I just ate my dinner and took my shower. Now I am going to watch a movie to relax a little bit.

Diary: Study and Study and more study

I just went to my office from 10 to about 9pm at night. I stayed there the whole time to study. And nothing really special.

Diary: Last day of the semester and Catherine's party

Today is the last day of the class and I spent most of my time in my office to study. I attended the extra session for numerical analysis at 6:30pm. After that I stayed in my office to study until 8:30pm before I went to Tacovilla to grab a burger to eat. About 9:30pm I went to Catherine's home for the German party. I met a lot of new friends there and they are all fun people including some high school kids. They had a party outside at the backyard with a camp fire. Most of the time, we were talking and did a bit dance. The German beer taste a bit bitter but I liked that. Also they had some noodles and chips which I think they tasted very yumme. I stayed until 11:30pm there and I came home.

Diary: Busy day

The final exam for the math 2300 that I teach is on this Thursday. So, I had a very busy day today to talk with most of my students about their grades. I got home about 9pm and Brian and David were playing PS2. We had the vegetable soup that we got from Sharon last night. But at about 1am I was so hungry that I had to cook curry for both David and I.

Diary: Sharon's home

I woke up at 1pm and I still felt very dizzy. Alin, David, and Mariana were playing PS2 in the living room. I posted some pics online and talked with father for a bit until 6pm. David invited me for dinner at Sharon's place. I was amazed when we arrived. The home is just so unique. It is very very nice Spanish style. I just love the house with full of interesting decorations and white. We had some very good vegetable soup and corn bread. Too bad, that my stomach is still not feeling well that I could not eat much. We watched "Jerry's Award" and then we went home. I cleaned my room and watched a couple video before I went to bed.

Poem: Sailing Boat

Life is without love and goal.
What good can it produce?
I am a sailing boat in the blue ocean.
Which lost a compus to guide.
I am sick and my time is running out.
But I feel I am luckier than anyone in the world.
Cause I can still dream and use my last energy to paddle.
I will find the wind that lead me to the promised land.
