I love my life. The end.
This is more of a visual blog than an actual blog where I can vent lol. Enjoy! :D
FUCK. I'm really starting to understand how poor a student can get in college...And I've been so good about spending my money wisely. School is so expensive...I didn't even realize how small my account got until recently. It's really starting to hit me hard. When I got my financial aid package, I told myself, "This won't be so bad." I had a lot of money at the time, so I took piano lessons and got the expensive textbooks without a second thought. Now I look back and realize how much I've screwed myself over. (My parents help me a lot, but I want to take responsibility of my own. Thus, I've paid for most of my tuition and housing.)
With this economy, I hope and PRAY I'll be able to get a job somewhere back home during the summer. I'll be taking classes at COM, so I hope that I'll be able to balance my time. The only thing I look forward to is August. It'll be my birthday (and Heather's! :P) and I get to go to SoCal to attend my sister's orientation at Irvine and then go visit my best friend in Orange. When I get back, I finally get to go furniture shopping for my apartment. I really really really want to do back to school shopping, but the chances of me having enough money to do so? Very slim.
I also have the super big Smash tourney to attend this July which will last for three days. Ooooooh boy. My friend and I have this master plan to compeletely mindgame the FUCK out of everyone. More on that later ;] (Let's just say there's going to be some gender bending...tee hee!<3) And by the way, about gaming: I'm tired of Smash. I might go to Street Fighter. Just because I can. Hehe.
I signed the lease for my apartment today. I'm sooooo excited for Ikea shopping this August! :D
I kind of died a little inside when my counselor told me that I'm doing ABOVE average in science majors (I have a friggin' 3.20 GPA...and that's ABOVE average). She said that the average GPA for a science major at Davis is a 2.75.
2.75!?!?! WTF!?
I honestly feel really shitty to have a 3.20. This is the lowest GPA I've ever gotten in my life. I guess I never realized how rape the "21-series" of calculus is here at this school. I've heard horror stories and I thought to myself, "Pfft...I can handle it." OMFG. YOU HAVE NO IDEA HOW MUCH I WANT TO STOP TAKING MATH. DAVIS HAS MADE ME HATE CALCULUS. The other calculus series here in Davis you can crunch numbers like in high school, which I was good at. The series I'm taking now seems to go off on random tangents like "Explain how you would use the Second Fundamental Theorem of Calculus to explain why the derivative of the integral of the earth's atmosphere is such and such. Good! Now solve the integral with an unknown height H! Good luck! I know that most of the class will get this problem wrong! Tee hee~!"
This is just the beginning! I'm excited to take Biology next quarter, but I'm worried about how the professor will be...Here's a sample question she had on a final:
What is the answer to this question?
A. D
B. this is the right answer, but it's not
C. Multiply answers A and D
D. All of the above except for one
E. the answer is really F, but F is not a choice here
SOMEBODY SAVE ME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I failed (more like bombed...) the first midterm of chemistry, but I really tried to redeem myself and I DID. I got A's on the second midterm and final and then got an A in lab. And what grade did I get overall?
A friggin' B.
...
*gives finger to first midterm*
...are raping me up the butt.
Ever since I've become an officer of the Davis Smash Crew (which is now an OFFICIAL club of UCD...surprisingly) I've been so busy with the club and school it's ridiculous. This weekend I've helped run two tournaments. Thursday's tourney was basically run by me which was fun at first, but not fun when the tourney lasts for five hours...So I was basically going back and forth gathering everyone's wins, studying bracket theory, inputting results in the laptop and COMPETING at the same time. Yes, it was very tiresome. The very next day I had to help run another tourney and...My goodness I can't play Smash anymore, haha! I never realized how much work the club is going to be.
This April we are planning a big regional tourney on campus which I'm excited about. A lot of NorCal's best are coming, so I hope that this tourney will be the start of a new series of awesome Davis tourneys. On Tuesday I have to meet up with the Davis Police to discuss tourney logistics. I suppose it's going to be something along the lines of how many people are allowed to be in the room at the same time...or something like that, heh.
Busy, busy, busy...and loving it!
- Finals in two weeks...It has taken me a while to get into the swing of things, but I finally managed to get decent grades on my midterms! I'm so happy.
- Co-hosting two tournaments this weekend...One tomorrow and one on Friday. Good practice for my big tournament in April, Love Jam. Gotta brush up on that bracket theory...fun stuff...bleh.
- My lao shi says that my Tai Chi Chuan has improved a lot! It was really nerve racking last week because she made me do drills BY MYSELF in front of the class, but I survived ^_^
- I hella messed up at my piano recital...and Dylan got it on video. Joy.
- I don't want to take the Japanese placement test. A third of the exam is to write an essay in Japanese. I can't even read the prompt! (My Kanji sucks a lot of balls.)
- I've given up swearing for Lent. So far, I'm failing.
