in lab... yes again.

this is the story of my life.

i "finished" my cs project.
(in quotes because yes i did finish coding, but i did not test it thoroughly. i only tested the parts that I knew worked. haha. o well)

now i get to go back and write a paper. not too discouraged though, i have some done already, so like 3 more pages and i'm done. then i get to drive home tomorrow. and CHILL until i come back up and have to come back here...
yes, the story of my life.

so today's great lab experience: none. not too many ugly people today, as i can see. maybe because not many people are here. haha.

God is calming me a lot these days...
I've been reading the Bible before bed and doing a short qt thing and it's honestly changed my perspective and attitude a lot this past weekend. He is amazing.

O yeah, had dinner with freshman James. Crew star. Studly man. I predict he will woo many girls. Our small group is the inverse of Soda Hall. There's a lot of good looking people. Well, at least the freshmen are good looking. That counts for something right?

Man I'm shallow.

wow. another testament to the loser ugly people in lab.

i was sitting here trying to do some work, when these two girls came into lab. they were all dressed up, but i assumed since they were here in lab at 1am on a saturday night, that they had a project or something to do, especially since they logged in too. however this was not the case. i guess they had nothing better to be doing, so they came to lab to chill for a bit and talk to people and stuff. i wasn't trying to eavesdrop or anything, but they were so ridiculously loud that i could not think. and on top of that they were ugly, as all eecs girls are. but they finally left to go drink somewhere.
i guess they need the alcohol to put them out of their misery. hahaha. i would if i were them.

wait, what am i saying... i'm one of them...

but i don't need the alcohol...

i need some food!!!!

what a sad environment i live and work in.

Ohio State won. Finally! Now they're headed to the national champsionship.

Cal won. Finally! Freggin beat Stanford after 7 long arduous (hahahahha) years. I was there. good thing i told roy to buy tickets. you should thank me roy.

Got snowboard gear today. M3 board, gnu bindings, and thirtytwo boots. i'm hooked up and all ready to go. too bad i still need to learn how to snowboard. but i can't wait!

Back in lab. It's gonna be a loooong night.
Peace out.




in lab here once again with basile. we were planning on getting here on friday at 11am, and wanted to stay until fic at 7pm, with a break for lunch. turns out i woke up at 12, we ate at 1:30, and got to lab at around 2:30. it took us around 3 hours to write a couple lines of code, because we were not working very efficiently at all. went to fic and then came back after.

it's 3:42am right now. i think we're only 1/3 done with the project. good thing i have no time tomorrow cuz of the big game, and on sunday either cuz i have thanksgiving dinner, and on monday either cuz i got a paper due on tuesday.

people here in lab are pretty annoying. i think that most of the guys must be playing for the other team. can't pinpoint exactly why, but just don't picture them with any type of female whatsoever. read my post from a couple days ago, maybe that will tell you why.

lab warps your mind of its sense of time. it's pretty cool how being here can make you feel so sick. haha. well, that actually shouldn't be a laugh but instead some kind of sad sound. life as a cs major, exciting ain't it?

in roy's plight to put something substantial on his blog, he just put a link to mine instead. how cheap.

therefore it is with great pleasure that i present to you 10 reasons why roy is a cool person:
10) he is really amazing at the guitar.
9) he likes using people
8) he likes making paper cranes
7) enjoys blowdrying his hair
6) doesn't shower for days on end
5) likes to be mean to me
4) doesn't get nervous around girls
3) who has a car without power windows or locks?!?! roy does!
2) paid for my big game ticket
1) likes watching the sound of music and mary poppins

and these are the reasons why we love roy. Thanks!

i just realized something while sitting here in lab. i've known about this for a while, but now it is my duty to impart this information to the world.

98% of people in the lab here in soda would be called ugly by society, myself included. half of these people are butt ugly, myself excluded. That means that almost half of all people in here programming are butt ugly. And i'm not joking about butt ugly. This makes me sad for a while, but then i realize that i already have a girlfriend, and she can see past this ugliness. I feel like the more i'm in here, the uglier i get. ahhhh.

eecs majors are by far the ugliest group of people here in berkeley, and possibly in this world. how lucky i am to be part of this select group! woohoo!

how is roy not in this major?!?! he would fit right in... haha.

just finished going phase 2 of telebears. if everything goes according to planned, this was my second to last telebears. nice.

i can't wait to get out of here. berkeley has warped almost all of my energy and strempf. you know it playa.

why do i blog? i thought it was so i could remind myself of all the fun times when i look back, but honestly, when am i ever gonna do that? by the time i do, this website is gonna go out of business and then everything will be lost. on top of that i can't even write about what i'm really thinking. this leads me to two conclusions.

1) stop blogging.
2) get a blog that no one knows about
3) get a real journal

i'd rather type and not handwrite so getting a journal is out of the question. as for a secret blog, someone is bound to find out. i'll still update once in a while with cool stories to remember, but i'm gonna try and get to know people better not by reading their blog and feeling all close, but by talking to them and chilling with them.

don't blog to impress people with your witty stories or what not. i know we're all guilty of this. what a loserish way of trying to get people to like you. if they know you well enough they'll like you anyways, reading something won't change that.

i think that spilling your guts out in such a public way is kind of cheap, and you just want attention. as robin once put it, "don't be an emotional whore". don't think i could have said it much better. think about it. we just tell people everything about ourselves and feel this emotional bond because you let things go. granted there is some bond there but i think that's cheap.

some people say stuff cuz they wanna get things off their chest, and i don't wanna question them or whatever, but i guess it's just a little weird.

hope no one thinks i'm talking about them because i'm not. i guess i'm being a hypocrite because i let stuff off my chest too.

o yeah, but why do people have counters? ever since everybody and their mothers got a counter and comment thing, no one has ever said anything like "but it dont' matter cuz no one reads my blog anyways" hahaha. now you know everyone is doing it for the hits, which just validifies everything i said. payce

great weekend. quick recap:

watched my bro's homecoming game. close game, but eventually they lost. it was a lot of fun though. he scored a touchdown, so it was real cool. go burbank! haha

went to turkey bowl practice. we literally practiced all day, but it was a lot of fun. still pretty sore, but it's all good. can't wait for the actually tourney, our team is stacked and ready to go.

spent some quality time with tammy. ended up going to pomona and met a bunch of her friends which was cool. had dinner at her restaurant on saturday with jason, dennis, and tj which was real good. then spent some time with her and watched a dvd. not too exciting but good times nevertheless.

had lunch with fabian right before i came up. that fool hasn't changed a bit. got caught up with each other so that was pretty cool. seems like i'm losing touch with a lot of high school friends, so it's cool to meet up with him once in a while.

even though we won our softball game last night, i've been hating berkeley since i got up. i'm so confused, and i don't know what to do. school is bugging me like mad, and i'm lost. i need some direction in my life. i don't wanna really go into any details though, cuz i don't want people to be all up in my business trying to help me out. that's cool and all, but sometimes you just gotta take of your own stuff you know? you know how it is. anyways, i'm outs for now playa. can't wait til thanksgiving




Tuesday, November 12, 2002

i have one project to do, but i'm still excited cuz i get to go home this weekend. i get to visit jason and kevmeister over at ucla so i'm excited to check out their pad and spend a day with them. i also get to see tammy even though she's gonna be super busy. best fit time into her schedule though for me, playa. and guess where i'm going tonight? that's right!

L-A-B
woohoo!

i haven't blogged for a while, and there's a reason for that. i was in lab for the first half of the week, and after we turned our project in i did absolutely nothing. and i'm very proud of this as well. because guess what? next week i have two more projects due! one on monday, yes it's due on veteran's day, and one on thursday. after that i'm driving home to watch my brother play in his final football game, homecoming vs. burrougjhs. i'm actually very proud of him, even if he doesn't know that. he's getting to do what i couldn't do in high school, and so i'm happy. he scored a touchdown last week, here's the link. search for hwang and you'll see his name! well it could have been me.... but i guess that's just a dream...

i'm so excited to go home. i need to get away from here. i would write more about my experiences in lab, but honestly, i want to forget them all so i will not bore myself. i will say one thing..... lab sucks. i've also realized more and more how much i actually hate my major. dang...

can't wait for thanksgiving, turkey bowl, and then winter break. really can't wait to snowboard even though i suck.

random thought: i love the smell of freshly cut grass. i used to play soccer when i was little, and i still remember the smell of the grass on gamedays (saturdays usually) where we would run on the field all ready and pumped up, in our nice, clean uniforms, ready to play in the game that we had waited for the whole week. The sunshine, slightly damp grass, and crisp cool air were perfect conditions. Ahhh, those days. I reminisce whenever we go practice softball or play football on grass, cuz I can still smell Saturday game days on those fields too. Someone has to know what I'm talking about... right? haha.

good times: when you're riding down the mountain on your board up in tahoe where the snow is nice and powdery, carving and seeing snow all fall over the place.
bad times: trying to go off a soft powdery jump and running right into it.

we all know we've experienced both.... or wait.... am i the only one?

peace out. i'm tired. and guess where i get to go tomorrow.
L - A - B.
