My sister slept 17 hours the moment she came back UCSD. Well, of course, because I was so happy that she was home, I kept interrupting her sleep.

For Father\’s Day, we went to Macaroni Grill with THE family. Needless to say it was…well you know…usually embarassing. All the adults (that is…everyone except my sis and me) ordered the MEAT dish…and basically split it among themselves. My sister and I went extravagant. We each ordered an Italian soda, our own respective main course plus salad, and a dessert. I am sure that the server was quite happy.

My mosquito bites swelled up again.

My mosquito bites grew. I have a total of four on my face. :p

Lydia gave me her senior prom pictures today! :D Very nice. Her senior prom date looks exactly like Rob. That Rob of Danville. This one is from Walnut Creek. Creepy stuff.

Then I went to hang out at her house. I came away from spending an hour there with some candy and…two mosquito bites…on my face. :(

Second time posting this because I accidentally clicked the refresh button. Motivation is DEAD.

<-- That is three graduation programs that I received from attending three (count three) high school commencement ceremonies today. Now motivation to do a day list kicks in:

Goodbye BFD. :( I just saw this, but I realized that I would have to pick up the flowers for Shroom at that time. Plus I have three graduation ceremonies that I have to attend. Heh. Next year?

When I am mad or sad, I drive at the speed limit. When I am happy, you\’ll find me zooming in the freeway at 70-85 mph.

This week, I have driven almost every day to errands…and so forth. And I realize how boring the radio has become. Alice 97.3 Too many commercials. Too many repeats of The Calling – Wherever you Will Go. Live 105…too much talking. Wild 94.9. Bad music. KOIT 96.5? More music, less talk. Too bad it\’s not always music I like. Star 101.3? Too much repeats of the same song. And I thought that was the contemporary music station. I just discovered the EDGE 90.3 today. Good stuff.

How about AM 1400 and AM 1450? Do you think I can understand my first language anymore? No I don\’t think so!

I have over $800 in my checking account! That\’s double what I usually have in my account. That made me a bit non-irate for awhile. Maybe I should go buy that digital camera…or the mp3 player…hmmm!!!

More complaints about my networking instructor from the first class. Some girl asked about DNS (domain name server). She mentioned how an error message would pop up because the DNS is unreachable. Then the instructor looked at her quizzically and cried, \”OH! When I think of DNS, I think of a host! You\’re thinking of a server. If the DNS is unreachable, I think DNS must be shut down… You see, I don\’t think like that…\” Then he blabbered on and on, implying that we should think his way and how everybody else\’s perspective is wrong.

GAH!

Four hours until I\’ll have to attend that class again. If I get very upset with it, I think I\’ll just withdraw. Firstly, I am not transferring the units to Berkeley. Secondly, I\’ll just be losing money. But unfortunately, I might be losing my chance to get Microsoft certification. Then again, I just looked it up…the certification tests…are expensive. Blah, so much for that.

Yeah yeah, I don\’t like little girls! I don\’t like little girls who have to stoop to this level to get attention. I especially didn\’t like that guy spamming everybody in the uclink directory about how he wanted to buy a yacht to Greece.

I am feeling quite irksome today. I got that chain letter in 1997. I remember getting quite infuriated. I don\’t see how people could fall for such chain letters when clearly there\’s nothing attached to the e-mail that would track the three cents. One time a friend of mine sent that to me…in return I insulted her and everyone else she sent it to. She got quite mad at me.

I am very selfish person for never sending such a letter. Today, most people have gotten smarter, but I bet newbies will get tricked by that.

Popular culture. The letter is attacking our deepest fears. Of being someone that we are not. Additionally, it\’s preying on our desires of being young. In this society, we are constantly looking toward the youth for a hopeful future. And the thing that strikes us the most is that we can do something \”helpful\” just by littering people\’s mailboxes. What a faithful prayer.

As you can see, my irritation toward my networking class instructor has reached its peak today.

Guess what happened at 10:19 am this morning? Because I once again went to sleep at 4 am, I was very groggy when I picked up my cellphone. It was Sam. He apologized for waking me up. I guess he was too excited for some reason…but he wanted me to make a copy of Windows XP for him (thanks Shroom!). I tiredly agreed.

Then later, my burner started acting weird. I am really quite sure if it was a result of the strawberry smoothie I spilled on it a month ago. Or whether it was because the burner (from my old Compaq Presario) was just crappy.

And no Stacee, I still haven\’t made the copy of Virgin Suicides for you yet.
