Work Work.....

Well looks like I havent posted for a long time.... doh

Anyway, I got my lappy on Friday. Had to go get it the hard way though because the stupid UPS truck came when I was in class, so no one was in the apartment to receive the delivery. After my classes I came back home soooo damn excited, thinking that the UPS truck hadn't arrived yet and when I saw that UPS InfoNotice sticker on the door I was like @#$@$@#%#%!#$!@#!@. Potong stim. So I called them up and found that the next delivery wouldbe Tuesday, since Monday is Labor Day Holiday. No classses!!!! No delivery too =\. Since Tuesday I had classes during their delivery time I thought might as well go to their UPS facility, which happens to be in RICHMOND!!!!!!!!!@#@#@!#!@ (that's about half n hour drive away, and I don't drive). And they said I could only pick up the package from 8.30pm to 9pm. WTF? Ended up leaving house at 7.30, took the BART to richmond, then had to take a bus to the UPS facility, for a total of 1.5 hours. Went there and there was a huge lineeeeee... Lucky me >.< When I got home it was like 11pm. So scary carrying a package in downtown waiting for a bus that late at night. 1.3k$ worth of stuff and if I got mugged, GG.

Considering my life at Berkeley, that was the event of the weekend. Dammit 1st week of the semester and I have tons of homework due on Thursday. I'm taking 4 classes this semester for a total of 15 units - Math 110(Linear Algebra), Stat 134 (probabilities), CS 194 (Experimental class for Security, CS 170 (CS Theory). 4 classes!!!!! I took 3 classes last semester only and I almost lost my sanity. Hopefully this semester wont be that bad. So far it seems manageable. Math 110 and cs 170 would be the hardest classes amongst the 4 if you ask me. I'm just not a math person and those 2 classes deaals with a lot of proofing and abstract stuff. Ugh. The security class I;m taking is an experimental class and there's like 4 professors co-teaching that class. Each lecture session has a different professor. Kinda cool in a way, but then it's an experimental class, so it'll probably be harder and then from this 'experiment' the administrators will make any necessary changes to the difficulty/syllabus of the class based on the feedback that we have to give them at the end of the semester.

Did I mention this laptop was big, and heavier than I imagined?

....

Anyway, looks like I will be able to graduate at the end of next semester. I might decide to stay and take up a summer internship instead of graduating so soon. Or I might just graduate and goodbye books. Haven't really decided yet. Haven't really thought much about it. Oh wellz...

Sigh, I miss my darling so much. LDR sucks to be honest. Then again not everything that you want's easy to get or doesn't suck. Bah. If only we could be implanted with a chip that contains all the information we want, like we can go to a departmental store and buy a chip containing linear algebra and we could just learn linear algebra instantly by implanting it in our selves. Please don't say 'that takes away the fun of learning'........


Well, I think I better get back to doing my homework. The atmosphere in the library cafe (not as in cybercafe but like in starbucks) is actually quite condusive and relaxing. I'll probably be around here more often in the future, since Starbucks' like a mile away and getting back home from Starbucks' uphill.

Wonder if I should get another glass of coffee.... my brain cells won't be happy though....

Oh and xiaoxue.blogspot.com is an interesting read, if anyone's bored.
