Engineers and programmers are the often-anonymous architects of society, and what you do now could make a huge difference to the lives of millions, even billions, of people in decades to come. -Charlie Stross Shaping the Future

once again
if you didn't know...
SCHOOL SUCKS!

my first day yesterday. what a long day. woke up at 7 to go to class at 8. ate a small breakfast. came back at 10. slept for 3 hours. thanks sammy for waking me up. that's why i have a room mate. you're awesome mang. ate a buttered and salted pretzel. class for another 2 hours. ate panda'spress. last class for 2 hours. biked home in the dark. let me remind you, my bike has no reflectors and i have to go on the main streets (hilly streets) with one blind down hill section, very dangerous. i'm thinking about putting some HIDs on my backpack to blind people behind me. that is what my day will be like on monday and wednesday. no class on tuesday, thursday, or friday.... well, there's discussion but who goes to discussion? not I says me.

my classes are hard this quarter. i'm taking (1) CS 111: Operating Systems (that's computer OS's), (2) EE 121B: Principals of Semiconductor Devices (that's transistors), and (3) Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering 192A: Mathematics of Engineering.

(1) is going to be difficult because the projects require working with a partner. hopefully this will work out because i'm not going to be in LA much. i'll try it out though. oh, and i don't go to discussion. discussion in this class is only on friday!!! what a bitch.
(2) is not bad because it is a continuation of EE 2 and i just took that last quarter. most people took it years ago. yes! i have the upper hand on this old fogeys. but still, the subject material is fucked up. stupid professor in EE 2 sucked, but i sorta got it in the end. had to teach it to myself though. got a B+ in that class... that may be good.
(3) look at the name of the course and the number of the course! those alone are scary! and then you get to the title of the course: "mathematics" and "engineering". this is the ultimate math course. this is what everything boils down to. this is the meaning of math! omar is always asking "what do you need math for?" well, it's to pass this course. right off the bat, the example problems the professor gave out (there were like 20 of them) involved cruise control systems in an automobile, cruise-missile controls, robot arms, and other crazy ish to be introducing on the first day. i feel priviliged to have reached this level.

so yeah... that's school.

came back home after my last class hoping to eat dinner with the fam. they went to fox sports grill at irvine spectrum for La's birthday. there were like 30 peeps and they had their own section with plenty of plasma screens to watch the lakers game and other games as well (college b-ball and one other pro b-ball game). but everyone in the fam is a hardcore laker fan. must've been a good game for them. iono, i didn't go. no money. so i went bowling with the homies instead. dollar games tonight. not a bad night. broke 100 in all my games and hit 145 on my last game. that's right. i spin the ball now! i think chris and sammy are the only ones that maintain their straight-on game. at least chris tried last time.

lisa came out and brought us boba! thanks lisa! i've been craving boba for a while now. that thai tea /w boba was good.

the usual to end the night: some pool and shuffling through my MP3 playlist. carnies, watch out now. we're ready to run the table when the fair comes along. of course, it took many many tries to get it, but at least me and jackson got it.

did a few exercises through the night. hit the bag pretty well tonight, pull ups, push ups, and crunches. my stomach is flubberish (i know i know... i'm a skinny ass mo-fo who shouldn't be complaining) and i need to work on that six-pack.

my blog sucks. i just go through my day. but it helps me remember that there are some good things out there to look forward to. so don't front.

the "game" at home is getting tough. i think i need to call a time-out. (dave'll understand me, who else will?). i need to work on the "away game". there are a lot of opportunities . too bad i hate it there. whatever. give and take. compromise, right?

need money, need a job. i need my pay-check to come in. some of my shit's gonna get sent to collections soon. ain't that 'bout a bitch. need to buy groceries, need to pay for rent, need to buy books, need to buy supplies! where are my pens, pencils, and erasers? need to pull an italian job in california. it's 2 a.m. already? need to keep goin' because once you stop, that's it. you miss out on something or you get run over. i don't wanna get run over.
