listening to: Renegade Master-Fatboy Slim remixed…soooo good.

i gave in and tried kuan95′s golf game.  I suck.  I thought i was doing well, cuz i was keeping everything on par, or below par…and i was thinking wow kuan95 must really SUCK to be getting scores like 25…how can you go 25 over par?  then i realize that your score is the total number of strokes you take, regardless of what par is. I ended up getting a 64. stupid golf game…who wants to play that anyway…..yeah….um….i’m gonna go try it again.

…..with the ill behavior….

Does anyone want 2, very very adorable rabbits ? I’m moving to Boson and i can’t take them with me.  They are potty trained, so that if you leave their cage accessible, they will go back to take a dump and stuff.  PLEEEAAASE!!!

ok here are some softball pics, stolen from felicia’s page .  Her own captions are included cuz i think she’s hilarious.

Jen eat banana. She hit ball hard like hercules. Catch ball. First baseWOMAN!

After a tough defeat…sleep is key to getting up and losing another one.

I can’t believe how YOUNG i look.  do i look like that in real life? i look like i’m 12.  but i am NOT…i’m double that…hence the sleeping picture of all the old fogies.

but anyhoo, i just took my macro midterm.  20 problems and THIRTEEN essay questions. freakin A.  i haven’t written anything by hand since two years ago…i had to keep stretching it out.  but i saw, “choose three of the following” and i was like YES! CHOICES…and i look and there are FOUR choices.  i was like gee…how generous.  but i think i didn’t do too bad considering i didn’t read the text til last night…and i fell asleep, so i had to read the last chapter on the train this morning. AAAAAAH memories.  but yea…i hate economics.

BUt my very good friend bought the Center Stage DVD for me….complete with extended dance scenes. AAAAAW YEAH.  i rented that movie like 100 times…but only to watch the dance scenes…i fast forward the parts with the great plot and the great acting.  The dancing in that movie is phenomenal…doesn’t hurt that they hired real dancers to do it…unlike that Julia wanna be black Stiles movie…that was not good dancing.

ok…so i am VERY sore now…because i am OLD…and can not play softball for an entire day anymore.  My legs, especially, are killing me…too much sprinting…i was winded after running to second base…like REALLY winded…like hunched over gasping winded.  And let’s not forget my 2nd base to third to almost home…OH NO catcher caught the ball…back to third…OH YAY…wild throw run back home…all in one play run.  i had to sit down and drink an entire bottle of water after that. (i outran a boy…GIRL POWER)

but we came in 3rd out of 50 (divided by 10)…not bad considering i thought we flat out sucked…and that the other teams were like 75% guys…and we were like 2% guys.  I especially liked it when Pastor Mern struck people out…cuz then that meant i didn’t have to move anywhere to field a ball.  YAY for K’s! I can’t wait til all those little boys grow up…and then it’ll be just us amazon women versus their little girls…HA HA HA ha ha ha…oh yeah, they’ll have more little boys waiting backstage.  BUT, we’ll have MORE LITTLE GIRLS….MANY MANY MORE.

I think the next time our church will have an abundance of boys will be when Caleb, joshua, ethan, and ben ben are older…since their dads are pretty good, hopefully it’ll be passed down…and passed down to the girls too…our B team players will all be from the same family…not that all taiwanese people aren’t related somehow already.

ok, but anyhow, i digress…i just wanted to say YAYAYAYAY B team girls and guys (all two of you!).  Oh, and special thanks to our cheerleaders, the famous leu sisters…who stood in the hot hot sun all day just to cheer us on…and who went to get us many many bottles of water when we needed it. (i had to carry an almost empty cooler WITH someone cuz it was too heavy to carry by myself.  lilgurl carried the cooler full of ice AND filled up with water bottles BY HERSELF…i still can not see how she managed to do that)

On a side note…after the games, while we were lining up to get our TROPHY, Mr. Lai from TAFPC (who happens to be really good friends with my parents) comes up to me and says, “by the way…i told your parents good things about your boyfriend.  I told them as long as there’s love, nothing else matters.  I also told them I would like to be the father in law of your younger sister, since you already have someone…she can have her pick…either one of my sons is fine”. HAHAHAHAHAHA!!!

 I’m trying to do this thing…you have to answer all the questions with song lyrics (courtesy of kuan95).  it’s soooo hard, so i’m giving up for now….will continue when i’m VERY bored!

(later in the day)…ok so i get bored easily…but i FINISHED! I even threw in some white boys to mix it up a little!

YAYAYAYAY to HARLEMM LEE….winner of FAME!!! He was my fave from the beginning!! and he’s Asian!!

I was looking up places I would want to eat at while living in Boston…and I came across this diss/review for some express Japanese restaurant: “The nigiri pieces were quite small and unimpressive – the rolls likewise. Nowhere near as good as most of the other sushi I’ve had around town. Plus they didn’t have low-sodium soy sauce”  PLUS, they didn’t have low-sodium soy sauce?!!! How DARE they not have low-sodium soy sauce? because, of course, sushi tastes best with low-sodium soy sauce.

ok my class then work schedule is NOT good.  For the past two years, i’ve been getting up at 9…i ate REALLY big lunches at 12:30…got home at 7ish…ate REALLY big dinners at 7:30ish…and snacked in between.

but NOW, i’m getting up at 7:30…i eat a really small breakfast…and I eat a REALLY small lunch on the train ride to work…then since i have to work later to make up the hours, i don’t get home til like 8…and usually i don’t eat dinner til 9.  and by dinner, i mean “dinner”…a shoddy attempt at getting as many food groups on one plate.  Usually that means canned soup and whatever protein source I can scrounge up…peanuts…sometimes just plain old tofu.  AND if i’m feeling especially ambitious, i’ll eat some veggies…but usually, i just eat a veggie equivalent…like a fruit popsicle…with chunks of fruit in it. yummy.  fruit=veggies.

OK, so many of you are thinking…SO? that’s not so bad.  but you have to understand my superfast metabolism.  I NEED to eat REALLY big meals…and snack every two hours in between.  Otherwise i start to get migraines.  So, I’m a clever girl, i bring snacks to work…i mean a LOT of snacks…like cereal…instant cream of wheat…i have a box of triscuits in my desk.  but it’s not enough, given that i’m eating half the amount i used to.  So my snacks are usually gone by 4…and by 7, i’m still at work and i’m STARVING.  Technically, I could bring MORE snacks…but my bag is already bursting at the seams from all the snacks i cram in there.

SO…i’ve become the bum of the lab.  i raid the lab fridge for stuff that hopefully i forgot i had in there (once i found yogurt…BONUS!).  not gross, rotting leftovers, but just little things.  Like sometimes, people save their soup from lunch (and their crackers), and later on, they eat the soup, but forget they saved the crackers.  I EAT THEM.  Yesterday was a good day…yesterday i found a packet of Wendy’s garlic croutons.  YUMMY.

SO that’s my life now…sigh…for some reason, i think the next 4 years of my life will be the same…school…work…no time to eat.  I LOVE eating…gimme food…

back from the retreat. i am soooo tired. after i got back, i took a 5 hour nap….after napping during the minivan ride home (thanks jeyi99 for driving!)…and i STILL had trouble getting up this morning.

but the retreat was good, despite the major gas i got from the food. i ALWAYS get so much gas at the retreat.  WHY? WHY? It’s like they poured whole milk in everything.

i also got lotsa ZITS…from lack of sleep…and being on the praise team. mucho stress…but better than last year…last year i got hives.  mucho grosso.   God definitely helped us out this year…since we practiced all of two times. i think it turned out ok…i was feeling it! ROCK ON!!!

And of course we had our annual late night sessions.  YEAH RIGHT.  we’re such old foogies now, right girls!?  i could barely make it through Q&A…that was WAY too long.  i am usually asleep by 11:00…i am not made for late night programs anymore.  we didn’t even attempt to look for a new diner on saturday night.  I still can’t believe we made it to breakfast every morning.  But then again, lilgurl had to do all the waking up…she’s still young and spry…she can sleep late and wake up early!!!

can’t wait til next year, when we’ll have to bring our walkers and hearing aids.

for all those who want to take it:

the brain profiler test

On a different note…i HATE class.  i don’t know how all you business people take all those BORING classes.  macroeconomics is KILLING me.  i have annoying classmates. ARGH.  And let us all guess what religion these annoying classmates are.  At the risk of sounding stereotypical, i don’t know how this particular religion manages to produce such annoying students. yeah, you all know who they are. 

For example, today, the teacher puts a problem on the board.  and it’s like ‘find the average of these two incomes.’  ok, so no one raises their hand to explain how to do it, because it’s self explanatory.  but of course, this one guy (from that particular religion) raises his hand.  NOT ONLY does he raise his hand, he waves it FRANTICALLY…while leaning forward in his seat (practically standing) and going, “OOH OOOH OOH”.  OKAY, WHO still does that in COLLEGE? I felt like placing a BIG OL’ thumbtack on his chair so when he sat back down he’d get the surprise of his lifetime.

and THEN, later on, during another problem set, a normal student answers the question and this OTHER guy (of that same particular religion), sitting three rows away , leans over as far as he can and replies, “yes, that is correct”!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  i snickered and gave him the evil eye and he saw me, and he sat back so fast that his little yarmulke fell on the ground…….i gave it away didn’t I.   OOOOPS!

for some reason, everyone is taking this brain profiler test.  but is this ever accurate or what?!

jennifer, you are somewhat left-hemisphere dominant and show a preference for visual learning, although not extreme in either characteristic. You probably tend to do most things in moderation, but not always.

Your left-hemisphere dominance implies that your learning style is organized and structured, detail oriented and logical. Your visual preference, though, has you seeking stimulation and multiple data. Such an outlook can overwhelm structure and logic and create an almost continuous state of uncertainty and agitation. You may well suffer a feeling of continually trying to “catch up” with yourself.

Your tendency to be organized and logical and attend to details is reasonably well-established which should afford you success regardless of your chosen field of endeavor. You can “size up” situations and take in information rapidly. However, you must then subject that data to being classified and organized which causes you to “lose touch” with the immediacy of the problem.

Your logical and methodical nature hamper you in this regard though in the long run it may work to your advantage since you “learn from experience” and can go through the process more rapidly on subsequent occasions.

You remain predominantly functional in your orientation and practical. Abstraction and theory are secondary to application. In keeping with this, you focus on details until they manifest themselves in a unique pattern and only then work with the “larger whole.”

With regards to your career choices, you have a mentality that would be good as a SCIENTIST, coach, athlete, design consultant, or an engineering technician. You can “see where you want to go” and even be able to “tell yourself,” but find that you are “fighting yourself” at the darndest times.
