I haven't updated in a long time, mostly because I've been pretty busy with stuff going on. Summer Session II finished a couple weeks ago so I spent last week, the final week of my summer, resting for the most part. School started again last Friday though. As if school starting again wasn't stressful enough, my car is throwing a check engine light right now, one of my tires has a nail impaled into it which makes this the fourth time with this set of tires, and I recently received a broken product from winsunx which Ihave to return to China.

I'm taking four classes (13 units) and I'm only going to class 4 days of the week (I have Thursday off), but my Senior Design class is very involved (It's a 30 week course) so it's not like I have it easy. I'm trying to get an internship for this year as well to get some real world experience. I have an interview this Thursday (Thanks to Loc and Lan )

Here are the classes I'm taking:

CEE171: Water Hydrology
CEE181A: Senior Design Practicum I
ESS130: Physical Oceanography (to get my ESS minor)
HIST21A: World History up to 1650

I'm almost done with school. I just have to follow 181 through C, take Bio 94, and a couple more engineering electives, well not really electives since I don't have a choice but whatever.

Well the week is finally over, kind of. Next week is "finals" week, but not really. Remember, this is my non-engineering summer and because of that I have two essays to write instead.

I know what I'd be doing if I didn't have to write two essays though...

It came today at 8:30PM. UPS is getting slower and slower it seems, not like it matters because I have too much to do anyway.

I guess it was a little ironic that the majority of my blog posts in August were about updating the site and staying up to date with updates that I do but not really updating the site at all. All of this with good reason of course! I've been in summer school at UCI for the past 4 weeks (this is the 5th week). I feel so out of place.

For the past 3 years I've mainly taken Math, Physics, Chemistry, and Engineering courses and this summer I'm taking two breadth classes (History 21C and AsianAm 150) and it's basically all writing. I've written about 6 essays so far with two more before the session is over and I'm sick of it. At this point, I actually miss Engineering!

I picked a pretty bad time to purchase my Xbox 360. Gaming is a pretty time consuming activity. If you look at my Xbox's blog though, you'll see that I don't really have that much time to game with two summer classes. When I do play though, I'm probably playing Dead Rising, which I haven't beat yet (but I haven't beaten any of my games, so..) I basically only play for a couple of hours on the weekends. On the first day of classes, both of my professors said something to the effect of, "This is a lot of information/reading for 5 weeks, I hope you're not taking any other courses this session."

Oh well, I've gotten through 4 weeks already and half of 5th week. I have two final essays to write which I hope won't be too tough and I'll be free again.. for a week.

I know what I'll be doing that week though. I bought a Nintendo DS Lite + a flashcart and passcard. The flash stuff came in last week and my DS Lite should be here on Thursday, I hope.

Hopefully I'll be able to update the blog and do some video tutorials or something at the end of this week (maybe middle of next week because that's when the finals are due), assuming I won't be too busy gaming of course.

I got this shirt to show how I'm going to feel during the next week.
