Classes
Well, so far classes are going well.
One class though, ECE 202, seems like it is going to be very hard.
The first day, the teacher said: "The workload in this class is higher than average. However, you may ask if the class is fun? Well, I see some people here are re-taking this class, so I guess it is fun. ^^"
I talked to my friend who already took that class, he says he passed with a 33 on the exams. 33/100!!!!!!!!!! So, apparently it's the type of course where understanding 33% of the material means you are a good engineer.
Oh, well...... fun fun.
Good luck everyone!

Vacation
Vacation is almost over, but I feel like I want to go on vacation. >.<
Well, maybe being away from home at UConn will feel like a vacation.
I know it will suck having to go to class and dome homework and projects again, but it is really nice to have all your friends right there down the hall.
At home, I havn't left my room much except to go to the doctor or the dentist. So, yeah, I really need a vacation away from this place, even if it is to go to college. And, UConn does actually have a beautiful campus, in my opinion. So, in some ways, going away to college is like a vacation.
Although, there really isn't much to see or do there. I rather take a vacation to France and see my girlfriend, or go on vacation to Japan with her.
Well, I guess I just have to go to school and wait for summer vacation to make its way to me.
Also, apparently there is project that is going to be discussed on tuesday in my software engineering class. What????? Already? Bah, teachers should not e-mail their students the weekend before class starts!!! Blasphemy!
Yep, this will be my vacation. ^^

my teeth!
I came back from the dentist yesterday.
I had a root canal done on one of my front teeth since the nerve in my tooth was dying.
So, yesterday, I had to go through the prep work of getting a crown put over my tooth.
First, they shaved down my tooth until it was nothing more than a cone shaped stub!
Then the dentist noticed that one of my bottom teeth would hit my crown, and possibly crack it. So he shaved down my four front bottom teeth. It is weird because when you touch your teeth with your tongue, it should feel kinda like /\, but now my teeth feel like / \, all flat on top.
Well, I guess I will get used to it.
But, I am happy to report that when you get a crown, it feels as if it was your actual tooth. I was worried that it would feel like it was missing, or that it would feel like I had a big block of nothing stuck in my mouth. But, I can report that it feels completely natural. (In case anyone out there is also in need of root canal and crown work done on their teeth.)

blogspot unhelpful.....
I tried logging into the adsense section of the blogspot template, and it says "An internal error occurred. Please try again."
I emailed blogspot support, and I got a stupid email telling me to check the FAQ about how to get a adsense account, and a the adsense FAQ.
Somehow I doubt a HUMAN BEING looked at my email.
I wonder if everyone is having the same problem.....

vacation ending
Well, winter break is almost over.........
I guess it is a good thing because at home I tend to sit around.
After writing the above text, I ran out of things to say, so I just stared at the screen not knowing what else to write. At this point, my brother, Mark, pointed out to me that the above lines were not written to "blog standards", and they should be re-written as follows:

*staring at the text editor*
*Mark shakes head*
One of my dad's friends called, he claimed that tonight's pick 3 would be 1 - 0 - 7.
It wasn't. I predicted it would be a H - H - L that was 2 wide (lingo I learned this morning while looking for information about picking pick 3 numbers). One of the numbers I came up with was 6 - 6 - 4, but I threw this one out because it showed up in a September drawing. The number that did come out tonight was 6 - 5 - 4! This would have been a nice split pair (more lingo from this morning). However, I picked those numbers this morning as an experiment, and I did not buy a ticket.
That's all for now.
Come back later.
