Reading Week Come, Reading Week Gone...

One week was just too short of time to gain back all the sleep that I had missed during this school year. Also, the fact that I haven't done anything during the week doesn't make me feel like I've played hard enough to even out how hard I've worked. Well I guess I shouldn't say that, since I did spend as much time with Hanson as I could. Well, almost. But I didn't see any of my friends over reading week though.

I actually spent some of my time reading over reading week. I don't know if that's what reading week is for OR it's to take a break from reading... I wish it was the second one. Anyway, I have CPSC 211 midterm today and I don't know whether it's actually going to be that hard because I felt like I haven't learned that much in class... However, there's another basketball game tonight. So, at least I get something to look forward to after the midterm.

My cell phone got busted over the break. This sucks! I really liked my phone... It's like my baby. Just one day, I took it out of my bag hoping to load the pictures I took recently from it, and it just... stopped working. I actually wanted to mourn over my cell phone. My grandpa thought that I'd be happy because my cell phone is now busted and my mom would get me a new. He THINKS he knows me well, but the fact is that he doesn't. He doesn't know the deep and meaningful relationship I had with my cell phone. Yeah sure, it's nice to get new stuff, but to be honest, I rather my cell phone didn't die. Rest in peace Motorola V600... rest in peace...

Anyway, I recently saw this on the CosmoGirl magazine's website. It's an internship called Project 2024. CosmoGirl will send 7 girls to New York to work at these really cool companies for 8 weeks. CosmoGirl will pay for their plane ticket to and from New York and also their stay at the NYU (New York University) dormitories. I want to apply; I really do. However, the application is March 4th, and I'm so busy between that time. So I don't think I will have time to get two people to write me a reference letter and also answer a 300 word essay question to include with the application. The application has to be sent through mail. I think that if it was through email, I'd still have a chance. I guess I'll consider applying for it next year or something. I better make a note of this just to remind myself.

Almost a Valentine's Week

So Hanson and I didn't go out for Valentine's day. However, we did go out before Valentine's day and after Valentine's day. That's right. He had a flex day on February 13th and he took a day off for me for February 15!

On February 13th:

Hanson came over in the morning and we started off by watching Sailor Moon. We were planning to bake something for Valentine's day (maybe cookies or cake.. etc). Unfortunately, my house didn't have the main ingredients for baking (flour). My mom threw it away a couple of weeks ago because she found bugs in them. We do have baking soda, but my mom hasn't checked for bugs in those yet... so we couldn't really trust it. Anyhow, so we ended up going to Safeway and buying Pillsbury (Dough Boy) stuff. Fun and Easy! We also bought pizza from Little Ceasar's. We went back home and continued watching Sailor Moon and eating. Then we started making cookies. I made this giant cookie I even took pictures comparing it to Jeffrey's head later.

When Jeffrey came back home, I decided that we can all go out and play basketball at Holly Elementary. However, I forgot that it was really windy outside. it was too windy outside that both Hanson and I came back with a headache and red ears that feel like they were about to fall off.

After resting for a while from basketball, Hanson and I went for dinner. He made reservations at this restaurant called Stone Grill in downtown. It was a really cool place. I get to eat good food AND play with my food! From what the waitress there told me, the stones are heated at a 400C and then food is just cooked right on top! I really like watching it sizzle when I cook.

Anyhow, that pretty much wraps it up for our Valentine's day.



On February 15th:

Almost the same thing happened as February 13th. But instead of watching Sailor Moon, I introduced a new -- well, new to him -- anime called Doraemon. Watching Doraemon reminds me of how much I use to love him when I was a little kid. I like completely forgot. I think I'm going crazy. I LOVE YOU, "ding"!! Ok, I got it out of my system. Yes Ding Dong = Doraemon. They later on changed the name of Ding Dong to Doraemon in the Chinese version and that really pissed me off.

Anyway, for dinner, Hanson and I went to Aberdeen. The crime scene was all cleaned up, nothing to see. Well, it's not like I want to see it anyway. At least I don't think so. Both of us weren't very hungry; we were more tired than anything. So we ate dinner very early, like at 5:45. We shared a plate of baked seafood rice. I love the cheese on top! Afterwards, we just walked around at Richmond Centre. And I guess that pretty much tops it for the day.

My First "Reading Break"

Hey there everyone, I'm finally on my spring "break". It's only one week though - not like the high school two week spring break. I'm just glad that there's no school. But guess what? Even though it's suppose to be my break, I'm actually still doing school stuff. I believe that there are other UBC students who are doing the same thing as I am for reading break. For some reason, this term, I feel like I'm always so behind in all my classes and in a way, I guess I sort of am.

So, for this reading break, I am going to study! First of all, I'd like to catch up with MATH 101. And then probably study for CPSC 211 since I have a midterm on the Thursday after reading break. And then a CPSC 121 midterm after that. Must study!

Other than studying over reading break, I DO have one day where I actually get to have fun! And that is tomorrow! Hanson has a day off tomorrow, therefore we shall celebrate our Valentine's Day tomorrow. It'll be loads of fun! WOOT!

This was a pretty random post, but whatever.
