The eye of the storm

So I had my first final on Friday for ISE 220: Probability Concepts in Engineering, and it was somewhat challenging. I know I got several problems correct, but there were a couple that I looked at, solved, checked my answers, erased all my work, and did them again. So let's hope that those turned out okay.
Today, I am in the eye of the storm. Why?? Well, it makes sense. It's like the calm before the madness. And the madness I'm referring to is my PHYS 151: Mechanics and Thermodynamics final on Monday, ACCT 410: Foundations of Accounting final on Tuesday, and ISE 232: Manufacturing Processes final on Wednesday before heading over to LAX and flying standby to Honolulu on Wednesday evening. And to top it all off, I have one more page to write for my ARLT 100: Korean Literature and Thought final research essay. There is clearly some ultimate being that has a grudge against me.
Dad was here in LA yesterday for a few hours on a layover to Fort Walton Beach, FL. We went to Trader Joe's to pick up dried fruit and nuts for Mom and Lauren and then headed over to Koreatown for dinner. Then he had to go back to the airport so I came back to school, but then some of my APO brothers were going to go explore so I went along. We went to Crumbs Bakery on Larchmont and it was so amazing! I got a Peanut Butter Cup cupcake, and I am looking forward to trying more of their selection. The cupcakes are extremely top-heavy, so mine kept falling over in the box. After cupcakes we went to The Grove to look at the Christmas decorations.
Going home will be really relaxing, but at the same time I'll have to go to work and run errands for my parents (mainly chauferring my sister to paddling, school stuff, etc.). I'm looking forward to the semester finishing, but it's also kind of strange since I'll be 3/8 done with college. Isn't that crazy? Well, yeah. But it's about time.
Back to studying. My goal for today is to finish my K-Lit paper, even if it kills me.

  1. That's just it, we all have to chauffeur our younger siblings but oh well. What's K-Town like there? My roommates introduced me to a lot of Asian pop music. Huan Hee, Brian Manifold, and Big Bang are pretty good. With Big Bang, the singers are actually all Korean ethnically, but they sing a lot of Japanese songs as well(a common trend). But I also kind of want to get into C-Rock. Oh yeah, right now I'm trying to learn more Cantonese from my roommate Joe. Have you continued using your Mandarin? I forget, do you speak Canto? Do you think you'll take any language courses at SC?
