… and whatnot.

So classes have been going well so far. I’m definitely excited about classes since most of them are classes I wanted to take (so far). Excuse my last rant, just was pissed

So my parents opened up their store this past weekend. I felt bad not being there when the people my dad hired to do construction finished construction although they were 2-weeks late. Thankfully, Cecilia, Angela, and Simon helped out so it wasn’t too big of a deal for me to not be there. No matter what though, I think it’s going to be successful because of the demographics at the location, I’m still praying for it though because this is the first time my parents invested time and money into a business and with all their effort, they shouldn’t be disappointed at what they accomplished so far.

Anyways, the whole moving into on-campus apartments was a good idea. I guess after 2.5 years of having a roommate regardless of whether or not they were good roommates or not – I just couldn’t handle it anymore.

So here is a list of classes I’m taking:
Circuits, Databases, Technical Communication Practices, Computerization in Society, and Korean II Yes, I realize I am Korean but like I keep telling everyone, I’ve had 3rd grade level Korean which has been degrading for the past 13 years so for the sake of attempting to preserve whatever level of Korean culture I may have and will need in the future, I’ve decided to take Korean. It’s sad when you really think about it, but oh well

All right, more classes – I’ll post a set of pictures later since I haven’t done that in a while.

Talking Trash.

So during the winter break, UNC graduates and students surrounded me of course being Charlotte, NC… so since Tech was ranked 4th at that time, I decided it wouldn’t hurt to talk some trash since I heard so many analysis that highly regarded Tech’s b-ball team.

I talked trash and I went all out. Felt bad when UNC lost to Wake Forest and also to Kentucky but I got pissed when I was talking trash and found out Tech had lost in double overtime by 3 to Georgia. So I decided to talk some more trash.

Of course, I had no idea how Tech was really doing as they only played 2 ranked teams before. The only game I really paid attention to was a game before winter break and was some random team.

Anyways, when I watched them play UNC today – whew, the game was like some high school team versus a college team. The first half was so amateurish – Tech did not show any level of maturity whatsoever. They were trying to move the ball way too fast and UNC was always a step ahead in the defense. Apparently, our offense didn’t realize this until Hewitt told the team whatever he told them during halftime.

Anyways, I don’t care much about Tech athletics anymore – it’s just disheartening at best and I don’t need the disappointment. Good times.

I hope at least, the Panthers get to the Super Bowl! GO PANTHERS!

I just read this the day after I submitted this entry… it did not even make slight bit of sense so I had to edit some errors.

Updates.

During the process of this week, I’ve worked on getting my schedule to be exactly as I want it… and now, it is. By Around 3pm Friday afternoon (an hour and a half before registration closed for the semester), I signed up for the last class I wanted to take.

It is an interesting mix of classes I am taking now, I used to have all my classes stacked on MWF but now it’s spread out like the letter ‘W’ throughout the week. I first thought I would like not having any classes on tuesdays and thursdays but the thought of having 4 tests on one day scared me into changing it especially since I screwed up my entire semester last semester (although this might be my excuse) because I had three tests on on day. It seems like some kind of masterplan behind everything and this is the reason why I believe in the things that I do.

I also realized for the fifth consecutive time that… I just can’t go with the flow of things; I need to be proactive. Going and seeking the things I need, want, and wish for… without sitting on my ass thinking about doing something or planning it out concisely as possible only to later find out it will never go the way I planned it or worst of all, depending on others to help me. It’s all really painful, now that I think about it.

I haven’t felt this good in a long time. I went to all the classes I needed to and plan on continuing this trend, I worked the hours that I needed to, I don’t have any useless thing weighing my mind… it’s all good times. What’s been holding me back for sooo long… millions of things. I just need to recognize the millions of things and let them go. I’ll figure it out. I get all the help I need and he will watch over me, my friends, and family without my unnecessary worries.

Back at Tech.

So it’s been about 3-4 weeks since the beginning of winter break? Now, I am back and as usual, the break was quick as ever. Tomorrow, spring classes begin with an ‘oomph’ as impossible homeworks, curved tests, and boring lectures loom ahead. Unusually though, I didn’t want to get back to Tech as I usually feel normally near the end of a break time – probably because of the crappy semester I had for Fall but I’m wishing that the past will push me up like a springboard and help me get back into the way of things.

Too tired now, got morning classes tomorrow… but so far, my Tuesdays and Thursdays are completely empty…. well, sleep time. will update later.
