Friday, April 09, 2004 i am in the computer lab at school!! what the heck am i doing here? i'm waiting for my TA so i can meet up with him and perhaps change my F into a C-. hopefully he's available. just waiting for his e-mail. i have to leave LA by 12 so i can go back home, visit PPS, and pick up my damned W2 form. i'll have less than a week to get my taxes completed and sent out. it should be done by the end of tomorrow. there's lots of studying to do. i'm taking 15 units. that's 2 classes, one lab, and one half-class-half-lecture (that half-class-half-lecture one is the awesome wafer fabrication one). i was planning on taking another class but... this is already a full workload. i'll be seeing you at barnes and nobles on the weekends. by the end of this year i will have 181 units completed. that's quite a lot. super-senior status here i come. c l i f f l o v e's thoughts at 9:41:00 AM (0) comments Thursday, April 08, 2004 songs that mean a lot to me at the moment:

UCLA is a good school (hate to admit that) and i should be proud to be a bruin (maybe not for the sports but for the academics). biking around campus in 3rd gear (stepping up the gears cause 1st gear is weak sauce now... even up the wretched hill) made me realize that this is my campus. i think i'm so proud to be taking part in that semiconductor engineering lab that i must substantiate all that is around me (the school, the campus, the environment) to make taking the lab even bigger thing. second, i need a girl friend. i need someone to talk to. there's so much i want to say (blah blah you've heard this before). there's so much excitement that i want to share too. it'd be cool to come out of class and call her up and tell her how excited you are and the things you did and hear the reply "that's great honey!" i think i'd be a great boyfriend. *wink* *wink* *hint* *hint*. great points in your blog, catherine. it's great when you can just "be". the statement "sometimes love isn't enough" is bullshit. it is enough and you just got to believe and enjoy it. c l i f f l o v e's thoughts at 9:58:00 AM (0) comments Tuesday, April 06, 2004 so i'm taking the coolest class ever at UCLA.... well, i guess for NERDs like me. it's the wafer fabrication LAB. i get to make silicon wafers (or as paul likes to say "waffles"... what a FOB). and you know what's even better?! i get to wear those all white outfits with the plastic screen to look through. yep! that's going to be me in the Postal Service - Such Great Heights video. i can't wait... it's a 4 hour lab but it's going to be fun. the lab is in engineering IV where all of the UCLA engineering shit goes down. all the big ass lasers and insane machines with tons of sensors and shit. i should take pictures. i bought the matrix revolutions today. it just so happens that sammy and i went to best buy on the release day. it was $16 and it's a 2-disc DVD, i couldn't pass that up. bought groceries today too. charge! lol. thank you fin. aid. anyways... i'm audi 5000 (pronounced "outtie 5000"). c l i f f l o v e's thoughts at 5:56:00 PM (0) comments i am once again a UCLA student. take that as good or bad but at least i am once again a student. sorry Kanye, i can't slang and bang like you. saw my counselor for a minute and she took that hold right off. i think she felt sorry for me because of my red rose... but no, i explained my situation and she took it right off. she told me i had to finish my APP as soon as my request to transfer is completed. now, i just have to cross my fingers and hope to get accepted into the department. wish me luck people. unless you want to see me at UCI or maybe even Berkeley. why not CalTech or Harvey Mudd? haha. let's see where this world takes me. c l i f f l o v e's thoughts at 11:03:00 AM (0) comments Monday, April 05, 2004 ran into olivia today at ackerman in front of rubios. actually sat down and talked with her. that never happened before. of course she didn't recognize me but it's all good. of course i recognized her. how could you not remember someone as cute as that? got her number so maybe we can lunch some other time. i have class with sammy's friend kimbo, a fellow EE student. i feel confident about this class since i know he'll want to do good and he'll sorta keep me on my toes. i also have class with sammy. he made me take a math class i don't have to. oh well, maybe it'll help me raise my GPA. again, he'll keep me on track in class. there's no final so yes! too bad there're quizzes. i hate classes with quizzes. booo quizzes. c l i f f l o v e's thoughts at 8:35:00 PM (0) comments first day of spring quarter. the phrase: "school sucks!" i am not a ucla student as of the first of this month. i guess you can say i'm a college dropout. see kanye west, how a true fan i am? lol. don't worry, gonna try and get back. i have to talk to my counselor tomorrow. c l i f f l o v e's thoughts at 8:18:00 PM (0) comments |
