SSA post

[edited on April 1, 2008 @ 10.15am]

Ok, so now I’m voted for the web director post, but…

I have competition.

Of which, I think one of them is not much of a competition coz he knows I want the post, but the other two…CS majors lehz

AKIRA SHOCK!!!

*PANIC MODE*

WHO VOTED ME FOR CULTURAL DIRECTOR AR?!

Not that I really object or anything, but I would much prefer being web director. So I can mess around with the SSA website. As it is, the alignment problem is an eyesore (at least for me).

*mumbles* Must be coz I keep asking people to support J-Net activities. Ya, Japan Night is on 13 April. Please come ok? I will be at the Kingyo Sukui booth.

Ok, I have one week to think whether I really want this or not…

Shock. Denial. Shock. Shock. Shock.

cui me

[edited @ 12.18pm]
I emailed my Anthropology and EALC135 TAs for my mid-term grade. The latter said I got 95/100 which is an A.

I quote deary “Anything below full marks means fail.”

And so, I failed… No, he’s not looking down on me. I’m just having high standards of myself coz I die die also must get the best GPA possible to secure my spot in Advertising.

GPA4.0~~~ (is just a dream).

This is me after a quiz…

You could practically see the huge word “CUI” hanging above my head. All coz I know I will get 7/10 for the quiz.

I’m starting to have rather high expectations of myself…

spring break almost over

Spring break is almost over. I’m back in Champaign. It always feels like time flies so fast when you’re having fun. I can’t believe that school will be starting in 3 days time. Back to mugging like shit and having only Saturdays to spend with deary (and still mugging).

Welcome Spring!

Good Friday. Remember, Jesus died for us.

spring break

I can’t wait for 2pm to come. That’s when I’m done with classes and…WOOHOO! IT’S SPRING BREAK! :woot:

I’m excited coz I’ll be going on a trip with deary. Well, the main purpose of the trip is to get his car, but I’m more thrilled by the fact that we’re going to be spending some time together. We only get to spend some time with each other on Saturday…sometimes Friday night. Even then, we’re both studying. Lunch and dinner together do not count. Ok, we intend to do a bit of studying on the trip, but at least it’s more of a relaxed setting. It’s a holiday yo!

Hmmm…although deary seems to be more excited that he’s finally getting his car…

Oh well, I shall not be a kill-joy and share his happiness~~~

participation points

Thought I’ll squeeze in a quick post before going for Biology class.

I seldom participate actively in discussion classes. Sure there are participation points that contribute to the grade, but I just don’t feel like opening my mouth. Cannot ar? Well, unless the TA asks me to answer something or we break off into groups. Ok, it does depend on the class…like for EALC135, I do participate a bit in discussion class.

Anyway, the point is, my TA for Anthropology discussion class never really made a big deal about reading before class. It was more like our loss if we don’t read and don’t participate in class. Last week, he wasn’t around so the professor took over his discussion sections. Let’s just say the professor wasn’t too delighted about people not reading and actively participating in class. So, from now on, we have to write a paragraph at the beginning of class about our readings. Damn. I didn’t read for this week.

There are pros and cons to this approach. Pro is we get participation points for it. Con is I have to finish a good amount of reading before class. It’s not like I always never read before class. Sometimes I have other work or exams to study for, so I fall behind on reading. Also, Anthropology usually has a lot to read and I’m a slow reader, so I always catch up in the weekend. I do make sure I finish the readings, so I can write my biweekly response papers.

Whatever manz, whatever.

one hell of a week

[edited @ 10.29pm]

*sings* ジン! ジン! ジンギスカン! Hey brother, ho brother, nice brother, go brother!

I hate it when I have to study and that Berryz工房 song is stuck in my head. It has been like that since I woke up from my nap. I was actually dreaming the song for gawd knows what reason.

The song is actually a remake of a 1970’s german song.

I’m having one hell of a week. I just handed in 3 assignments today. Let me complete my mid-term tomorrow and then I can catch my breath. Uh…I still have tons of reading to do, but at least it’ll be a little more relax.

My happiness was shortlived. Mushroom broth was on the menu for today. Had it for lunch and took a chance for dinner. Crapz. They didn’t have it for dinner. They should have mushroom broth on the menu EVERYDAY.

I hate it when I wanna be there for deary, but I can’t coz I have homework and studies to see to. 🙁

the stolen name plate

I have started to lock my door even when stepping out of my room for 5 minutes. I used to do that, but after awhile I figured it was ok to leave it unlocked if I’m just going to the loo. Well, not anymore.

Some idiot stole my name plate thingy on my door. Not the Simpsons one from Fall 2007. It’s the one with a random fact of a random country for Spring 2008. It’s not even some fancy thing, just a printed piece of paper decorated by Liz, my RA (resident advisor).

I didn’t even realise it was missing until going back to my room after my bath. Liz came to ask if I knew what happened to it. That was when I saw the leftover bits of blu-tack (ermz, yellow-tack in this case). She said I’m not the only one. Well, maybe the idiot just hated USA so much coz my featured country was USA.

Anyway, I figured that if such a thing can happen, someone could very well enter my room without permission too. Hmmm…damn the idiot who stole it. I wanted to collect all these cute name plate thingies for four years (I’m staying in the same room next academic year too). 🙁

great ads

Something my cousin shared with me…

I think only the first one is damn funny…the office one.

My professor wasn’t around for class again today, so we watched some award-winning advertisements.

Sometimes advertisements are really really so bad or corny that you cringe when it comes on tv, but for some reason, they also end up having the highest viewership rating and people actually remember these advertisements. In a way, it is good for the company selling whatever product isn’t it? Well, unless you argue from the point that people remember these advertisements, but don’t exactly end up buying the product.

Anyway, enjoy the advertisements I picked out.

happy love love day

This is me panicking in the wee hours of the morning coz I have to study for a quiz and a mid-term exam and class starts at 8am and well, I’m not quite done.

What do I do when I’m supposed to be stuffing my brain with history of the Japanese and the works of the cells and proteins, but my brain keeps auto-playing Hikki’s “HEART STATION”? *to brain* LIKE STOP IT STOP IT STOP IT!!! *jumps around*

On a lighter note, happy :love: day! No, I DO NOT have a hot date coz my day is packed full with classes, but I do hope I’m not going to be spending it alone this year. *winks* Then again, what difference does it make if I spend it alone? Heck, I’ve been doing that for years now. Ok, I’ve gotta admit it just sucks when everyone’s got someone to cosy up to and I just have my lonesome self. Hmmmm…maybe not so when I see happy couples and the smiles on their faces. Yupz, cherish your partner. *nods*
