we're gonna party hard like it's your birthday, we're gonna sip bacardi like it's your birthday

oooooooh what a day. one of the longest days of my life haha.

430am: i get my wake up call from alice. i go back to sleep.

600am: i get a wake up call from my Mom in the Philippines, who's just arrived home in Trinidad. i go back to sleep again.

630am: i wake up again and see my sister is hogging the bathroom. i go online and read stuff.

930am: I TOTALLY BLEW MY MIDTERM! my friend Byung and even the professor himself warned me, "the midterms won't be cumulative". somehow i managed to ignore that information of the midterms not being cumulative, and i ended up studying the basics from chapters 1-3 instead of focusing on chapter 4 and 5. what makes it worse was that i was harping on all my friends to do well on 109 when i'm the one who's going to end up with a score of 22/100. i wanna retake this class cause i know i can get an A if i took it more seriously than "oh god not another math class".

1100am: hating life and myself in general, i go with Kent and spend cash on some food to drown my sorrows in. we went to Ralphs and i just picked up random food along the aisles and after picking up some lemonade we went back to where i ate an entire can of Pringles and a tray of jalapeno poppers. ugh my stomach hurt so friggin much after that >_<

1115am: backtracking a bit, while at Ralphs i bought a Lucky 7 lotto scratcher. Surprisingly, i won on the first scratch! it was a $1 prize. I was like well the ticket cost $2, i still lost money. But then i uncovered a Red 7, then that meant triple the listed prize which was $2, meaning i won $7 !!!!!!!!! i felt this was a sign of luck to come haha. i'll cash this puppy in tomorrow.

100pm: began copying homework problems from the ECE 102 book.

200pm: went to the S&E library to wait for Gina, but ran into the ECE 102 guys all talking about how much they hate ECE 30. Anyway for some reason Emery and Manuel began talking about politics and the height of people in Africa.

230pm: went to go help gina finish her Hash Table. the CSE 12 prof (how come everyone calls him Gary) changed it up by removed the probe count and used the Bully algorithm, which totally defeats the purpose of a freakin hash table because it makes it as inefficient as (insert some analogy dealing with inefficiency). however while trying to explain the program, i realized i don't think i'll be a good TA for ece 20 or 60 or cse 12. the thing is i know a lot of stuff, i just can't articulate worth crap. i mean when i talk in person my mind thinks waaaay faster than i can actually speak, that's how i always fumble over my words. that's why when i'm typing a blog or i'm chatting online, i can go on for hours cause all i have to do is think and not actually speak. yes it sounds stupid, n/m, moving along in the blog...

300pm: did ece 102. fell asleep twice.

500pm: fell asleep again.

530pm: ah geez i keep dozing off.

700pm: you know what, forget it, i've fallen asleep like 6 times or something by now. I went over to Clics hoping the light and funny smell of the library would help.

815pm: stopped by the TA lab to see alice before going home

915pm: OMG DOUBLE OT LAKERS ROCKETS?

1100pm: BOOOOOOO lakers. boo-imus maximus.

so yeah that was my day pretty much.
*rolls over and goes to bed*
