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.

Hello. I am an irked, dissatisfied chick.

Apartments were competitive. I didn\’t realize how many people needed housing. i.e. people who wanted to move out of their place because a gunfight occured in their neighborhood a few days ago.

I attended my networking class at the local community college. Unfortunately, due to rush hour on the 24, I was late. Yet, class hadn\’t even started. Most of the class arrived fifteen minutes later. Then the adults in the class were being loud and obnoxious. So the instructor started lecturing. At first I had believed that he would teach us some good networking…stuff. But no, he kept cracking jokes. Laughing at himself. Ranting about nothing. Well, the most interesting part was when one student asked why he wasn\’t a technician if he got all that certification – \”Because I have AIDS, and I am too tired all the time to be a technician.\” Pity. But still, that\’s no excuse for his behavior. Perhaps, I get miffed easily, but I was very offended when the instructor suddenly said, \”Guys, it\’s dark out there! Make sure you walk the ladies to their cars.\” That made my blood boil. Why not walk everybody?!?! In Berkeley, the statistics show that guys get robbed/attacked more often than girls. How macho for them to walk by themselves. In CalSo, the counselors made a point of how it is important to always call 642-WALK, even if you\’re male. GRRRRRRR… Plus the fact that the instructor didn\’t know how to teach. I already said that didn\’t I? He was teaching us binary calculation, which I already knew. Then he was criticizing some students for using other methods. He was teaching the subtraction method…and secretly, I did it the division method. Then when a student corrected him when he said 176 instead of 175 as was written on the board, he went off on a long tangent about how he might be thinking of different things while doing another thing. In this case, selecting a student while declaring the number. Geez, just focus. Please.

There are many idiots in the class. I am not just talking about the middle-aged people. No offense to them.

Now I am wondering if I should drop. It\’s thirty-seven dollars for this class…that I doubt is refundable. I also paid $65 for the text. Yet, if I complete the course, I supposedly have 60% (as the instructor proclaimed – \”60% of my students pass the certification exam\”) chance of passing the certification test. Also, it would look nice on my resume. Yet as for learning something worthwhile…I don\’t know.

Helllooooo out there. Because my late sleeping habits, I won\’t be around for most of the day. Woke up just 10 minutes ago at 12:50 pm. Then lunch. Then I have to go to my grandmother\’s place by 2 pm to do stuff. Then onwards to Berkeley to look at an apartment at 3:30. Why the huge time slot? It\’s hard to find parking in Berkeley, I would allot at least an hour just to find good parking. Then visiting Seth (AHA!) at 4. Then at 6, I am seeing two apartments. Then at 7 pm, I am going to have my first networking class at the local community college. GAH! What a busy day. :p

Okay my sis is weird. She has a xanga site, which I am irked about becuase I can\’t comment on it…unless I am part of Xanga. But she also has a here at cpnet. Boing?! Stay in one place! Or like be me, and have two sites. One that is completely private. ;)

Tomato face. I was reading Ann Landers today (yes I know how silly she is), but was reminded of my own high school trauma. Someone had responded to how a girl felt humilated after she fell and spilled food all over herself. Yet, I agree with Ann Landers\’ response. She just needs to laugh at herself.

It\’s interesting to note how embarrassing disasters may be averted by some sense of humor. As long as the classmates don\’t remember and tease her constantly, I don\’t see what\’s wrong in laughing at yourself.

I just don\’t like seriousness. I remember how in middle school how I was constantly made fun of…because I didn\’t wear normal clothes or had normal behavior. Constant torment may be a cause for transferring to another school, but not just one humiliating incident. College always proves high school people wrong…that people aren\’t always going to stay in cliques their entire life. Those who are happy in cliques may find college alienating and isolating. That\’s what they deserve anyway.

And I disagree with Orinda (how ironic that Orinda is really close to here), what..psychological counseling? I was the shyest student in high school. And look at what I have become. A blabbermouth monster. :) College solves nearly everything.

I admire Lele for finishing azn-bish.com so fast. :) And my vain photo album! Because I am special, I am the only hostee who has a non-blog/journal site. :D

I have an itch to put up Seth\’s South Park character. Okay I just did. :p It just so represents him. I JUST CAN\’T STAND IT! Except the height of course.
