Congratulations, Kevin.
You just pulled an all-nighter the night before your Biology midterm. The midterm which you had been studying for during these past 2 weeks. The midterm which just ripped you to shreds nonetheless. Congratulations, indeed.
My schedule of studying as of 8pm last night (when I got back from filming for a Spanish project):
8:00pm-8:30pm: Eat ramen for dinner
8:30pm-9:00pm: Finish protists (Ch. 28)
9:00-12:00am: Study all of plants (Ch. 29, 30, 35, 36)
12:00am-1:30am: Study fungi (Ch. 31)
1:30am-3:00am: Study origins of life (Ch. 25)
3:00am-4:00am: Study bacteria (Ch. 21, 27)
4:00am-5:00am: Study viruses (Ch. 19)
But then I took an hour to eat ramen.
Adjusted schedule:
9:00pm-9:30pm: Finish protists (Ch. 28)
9:30-12:00am: Study all of plants (Ch. 29, 30, 35, 36)
12:00am-1:30am: Study fungi (Ch. 31)
1:30am-3:00am: Study origins of life (Ch. 25)
3:00am-4:00am: Study bacteria (Ch. 21, 27)
4:00am-5:00am: Study viruses (Ch. 19)
But then I didn't finish protists until 10:45pm.
Adjusted schedule:
9:30-12:00am: Study all of plants (Ch. 29, 30, 35, 36)
12:00am-1:30am: Study fungi (Ch. 31)
1:30am-3:00am: Study origins of life (Ch. 25)
3:00am-4:00am: Study bacteria (Ch. 21, 27)
4:00am-5:00am: Study viruses (Ch. 19)
Fast forward to 4am. I'm still on plants. Horrible. And I need a nap.
Adjusted schedule:
4:00am-4:30am: Nap
4:30am-5:30am: Study fungi (Ch. 31)
5:30am-6:30am: Study origins of life (Ch. 25)
6:30am-7:30am: Study bacteria (Ch. 21, 27)
7:30am-8:30am: Study viruses (Ch. 19)
9:00am: Take midterm
Unfortunately, stupid Gladys, my study partner, pulled an EPIC FAIL and let me sleep until 7am.
Adjusted schedule:
7:00am-8:30am: CRAM FOR EVERYTHING
9:00am: Take midterm
So, to recap, this is what REALLY happened last night:
8:00pm-9:00pm: Eat ramen for dinner
9:00pm-10:45pm: Finish protists (Ch. 28)
10:45pm-4:00am: Study plants (Ch. 29, 30, 35, 36)
4:00am-7:00am: Epic fail nap
7:00am-8:30am: Rush-cram for fungi (Ch. 31), origins of life (Ch. 25), bacteria (Ch. 21, 27), and viruses (Ch. 19)
I'm sick of bio.

Try as hard as you can, you can't catch me, I'm the Gingerbread Man
Dr. Parr wasn't here to lecture for my Chem 105 class today. So Dr. Quinlan substituted in. Here was his introduction written on the board:
I AM NOT DR. PARR
1. FILL THE TANK!
2. DON'T GIVE RIDES TO LOSERS!
3. DON'T GO TOO FAST!
I pretty much got as far as "I AM NOT DR. PARR." For the remainder of the lecture, I felt like such a doofus listening to Dr. Quinlan speak. His lecture, which was supposed to cover energy/wavelengths (how is this a chemistry and not a physics topic?), began with slides titled "Who is Jed the Fish?" and "How long is a car antenna?" None of these slides seemed to make sense, yet Dr. Quinlan somehow managed to connect all of them. On top of that, he spent an average of 7 seconds on each slide, so that eliminated any chance of note-taking.
This man is too brilliant for me. I miss Dr. Parr. HAHA.

There will come a day when all the work is finished or when it is too late to finish it
No words can describe how relieved I feel right now.
This past week has been hell for me, and the interesting thing is, I rather enjoyed it. Don't get me wrong, I wouldn't volunteer to undergo the experience again (although it shall inevitably occur countless times in the next 4 years), but I found this week to be...fulfilling. Maybe it was because it was the first time in college I actually felt pressured to get work done. Maybe it was because I'm actually used to sleeping at 4am now. Maybe it was because at the end of the day, I've scored well on 2 out of the 3 exams this week (3rd exam result still pending; I just took it). Whatever the case, I didn't really feel "overwhelmed", per se. For this entire week, regardless of the amount of work I had, I nonetheless managed to maintain control.
I believe I have finally gained this sense of responsibility that comes with being a college student.
So what now? After 3 grueling exams in 3 days, how shall I enjoy life?
I'm going to do laundry. -_-
I need my USC shirt for tomorrow's game. BEAT THE SUN DEVILS.

Cat Got Your Tongue?
Something I found in Sunday's Parade:
What causes the feeling of a lump in your throat when you're emotional?
The sensation occurs when excess activity of the autonomic (involuntary) nervous system causes a certain muscle in the throat to go into spasm. This muscle helps keep the esophagus closed when you're not eating. So, when the muscle misbehaves, you feel you can hardly swallow.
So now I finally know why I feel the way I do.

Eighteen
Dammit I'm always lagging with my posts these day.
I suppose I should reflect about my birthday by now. Actually what I SHOULD be doing is my online Spanish homework, but let's forget that exists right now.
So how do I feel that I've finally reached the big ONE-EIGHT? Well, let's see what I can do...
1. Vote
2. Buy porn
3. Smoke
4. Get a tattoo
5. Gamble at Indian casinos
6. CLUBBING
Doesn't feel that different. What DOES feel different is that my friends ordered a freaking ULUWATU for me. WOOOT. Plus I have enough money to order a Logitech Z-2300. 400 WATTS BABY. Plus I got the greatest gift of all from some silly girl, and I just can't stop looking at it.
Truth be told, it does feel great to be 18. Yet, I still am cautious, as I transition into manhood. With this transition comes greater responsibility, and independence. I feel I am ready to accept this, but I have no idea of the outcome. In 10 years, I will look back upon this moment and...feel old HAHA.
With this new year, I'm going to try to become more aware of the choices I make, as I know they will very soon have a direct impact on my life. Gone are the days of depending on my parents to make the choices of me. Adulthood is approaching fast, and I must be ready for it, to, as they say, "hit the ground running."
In the meantime...let the good times roll! (how unfrackingbelievably cheesy)
UPDATE: Highlights of the night
1. While we're taking group pictures in the suite, we're trying to decide what pose to do. Kevin Wu yells "FOB POSE!" And Sean, who comes from Indonesia, is like, "What's a fob pose...?"
2. While we're taking group pictures in the suite, Brian yells "4 MORE SHOTS!" which refers to picture shots. However, at that point, our RA passes by and thinks we're getting crunk. We almost get in trouble.
