I can\’t believe it. Finally I overcame my constant social anxiety, so that I could talk to people at the career fair. My lack of skills and experience shouldn\’t need to undermine my ability to excel in an internship. Nonetheless, I didn\’t know what to respond when they asked for my gpa. Should have simply said, \”No comment.\” But I couldn\’t find the words. Haha.

So I got to submit my resume to Chevron, EFI, PG&E (although they cheated me in last month\’s gas bill), and TechTv.

I really need to surround myself with brain-dead CS people. I didn\’t feel that good today when it took me two hours to solve the first lab problem while it took most people about ten minutes. Then now, I am stuck on the first EE problem.

\”Assume that the D/A converter gives an output voltage function that consists of the values of the input voltage at the sampling times, connected by straight lines…\”

What?!

These are the times that I wish I was truly innately bright.

Update: my dad (the one who has sent me thousands of virus hoaxes) has just sent me the \”New photos from my party!\” worm. I wonder if he got that worm from my sister. How sad.

Although I never played the role playing game, I am intrigued with Final Fantasy. I know people who are hardcore ff players. Then those who attempt to collect everything that is Final Fantasy.

Needless to say, the music is what intrigues me the most (besides the storyline). The theme To Zanarkland composed by Nobuo Uematsu is the best one from FFX. I want to learn how to play it on the piano although I have barely touched that instrument for nearly a year. Yes, thirteen years of formal piano training gone.

First page here and second page here.

I don\’t know whether to laugh or cry.

Yesterday, I received nearly 10 e-mails from the Circle K mailing list with the same subject heading – \”New photos from my party!\”. My first thought was how dumb was it to have someone send an e-mail to a mailing list like that. Who would be so self-centered do such a thing? Evidently, I thought someone was. However, I scanned down the list and noticed an e-mail indicating that the earlier e-mails had a worm/trojan horse attached.

Sad, really sad. That means the people who sent the e-mails had the circle mailing list in their address book (why would anybody do that?) and had opened an e-mail with the worm. Sad.

Okay, then it was sadder when I received four e-mails from my sister with the worm. Sad.

But the worst part was she didn\’t even know she got infected.

EE sucks.

\’Nuff said.

After Sam sent me the entire Jimmy Eat World Clarity album, I kept listening over and over…and actually liked it. At the time, I thought it was incredibly unique, because I hadn\’t heard a screeching nerdy guy sing before.

Turns out that genre is called emo (short for emotional punk). Additionally, almost all emo bands sound alike. I downloaded At Your Funeral and Through Being Cool both by Saves The Day…and was surprised to hear the same kind of screeching to that Jimmy Adkins of Jimmy Eat World.

These are the nerds of punk rock.

I can\’t believe it. I am a prudent driver. After all the comments that Sam was making yesterday about my driving…hmmm. Then again, Sri made comments about my driving too. And I remember Thanksgiving 2000 where a friend told me to drive into the wall. He was joking of course. But without thinking, I almost did just that. Let\’s not forget that I failed my first drive test. :) Am I a safe driver? That\’s for you to figure out.

It\’s only an online personality test, after all!

A fun-filled day today. :) Well, almost.

I woke up to the beeping of my cell phone at 7:30 am. After lying there for a few minutes, I got up. By 8 am, I was out the door and on highway 24 speeding toward Berkeley. Somehow, yes I ended up on Stuart rather than Blake. I don\’t know how that happened, when I was thinking Blake all the way there. Eventually though, I found Sri and we drove to the Alameda Food Bank.

Can you believe it? Things haven\’t changed at the Food Bank since the last time I volunteered there. Mary Schoen, the director, did the same thing as usual. Blah, it was dull…and exhausting. Although this time, I was more \”mature\”, because Sri got me into the mood, it just wasn\’t as fun as sorting at the Contra Costa Food Bank. It was pretty interesting to sort the salvage on the psuedo-grocery shelves though. Sri looked as excited as I was. :)

Mary refused to let Sri stay the extra hour and because I didn\’t know the way back, we got stuck going to San Francisco. Although I wanted to turn back, Sri convinced me to pay the two dollar toll to cross the bridge. We picked up lunch at Togos in San Francisco downtown and came back to the Food Bank within an hour. That was dumb. Haha, but Sri and I had a couple of good laughs.

After determining that I wouldn\’t be seeing A Walk To Remember with Stacee and Simon, I decided to just head over to Sam\’s place. By the way, Sri and Sam condemned watching A Walk to Remember. Mandy Moore? Are you sure you don\’t have posters all over your wall? You know, critics said that movie was only meant for ditzy teenage girls and gay guys. Okay, I laughed. So boo me. Anyway, at Sam\’s dorm, I helped (well listened) while he was able to solve the second problem of the cs homework. Assembly language is so dramatically complicated. Can you believe it…like four lines just to say z=4? Anyway, I got that done.

I then dragged Sam with me to the Food Bank to pick up Sri. By now, Sam figured out that I wasn\’t the greatest driver and in his words, \”you tend to gauge things incorrectly\”. Yes. I drove the two of them to Safeway. Then I dropped off Sri at his apartment.

Sam had invited me to dinner. So instead of the dee see, we decided to try a restaurant on College Avenue. Yes, he made me drive there although he had degraded my driving skills already. :p We ate at La Mediterranee after walking from restaurant to restaurant on the street. Not bad…we kept commenting on every dish. Intersting stuff. :) Although personally I wouldn\’t recommend it to the nonadventurous.

Then I got my EE43 pre-lab done. YAY!

Bottom idea of today: why doesn\’t everybody ever comment? :p Remember I have a tracker. :D
