| Year in Recap *This entry might not seem coherent, becaues I am putting down whatever that comes to mind w/o editing* 2nd year of college is over. School is getting really hard. Lots of caffeine intake, lack of sleep, lots of work... pretty much sums it up. I got screwed over in two of my projects. A 4 membered team is actually a 3 membered team because somehow someone never replys/shows up to meetings. I had to take on extra work and stress to make up for 1 person's work. The thing is, the entire team gets the same grade. I don't know if it's poor team management on my part or just bad luck. These projects taught me a lot though. Teamwork: there is no way I can finish everything by myself. Leadership: getting things done right and distrubuting tasks. Anyways I am glad I am done. I took all science courses this year and with increasing number of units each quarter... 16, 19, 22. I think I did pretty well except I was sorta disappointed because I got my first B+ in a science course. I found that I am really interested in genetics... or mayb the class is really easy. Here are some pics of my MAE robot project:   | | |

|  So I guess I haven't updated in a very long time. I thought I might just update on fantasy bball results since I have done so for the past like 4 years. Didn't do so hot this year. Players did worse than expected. Somewhat of a disappointment. Also, I don't hv much time to manage my teams this year... which leads to low rankings.. haha
anyways until next time.. | | |
| Dream come true I guess this deserves an entry. I just got my private pilot license yesterday (9/19/2007). I am pretty stoked about it still... I was so nervous throughout the test. My landings were spot on despite windy conditions. Gen, the tester person, diverted me to Nut Tree, which I found without any trouble. Made a normal, short and soft field landing.
What am I gonna do now? I really don't know. Take people up flying? I have to see after college. Being a pilot is really tough tho, even a noob private pilot. It's gonna be a big commitment... time and money. Flight training was expensive and I don't really wanna talk about that haha... Is it worth it? Maybe, I mean there's no feeling like it.
Looking back, it really had been a long hard journey. Very stressful... That sounds corny but it's all true. One of the hardest things I've done. It's really frustrating in the air when you aren't doing maneuvers right or not finding your check points and such... I remember during one of my x-country flights I flew with 3-5 nm visibility. That was pretty scary haha. I'm really glad I'm done with it. I think Gurdon (flight instructor) really pushed hard to get me to finish the entire program this summer. Yeahhh.. okay well, until next time!

| Okay, so I am in the middle of my essay. 2.5/5 pages done, so I think its a good point to take a break even though I have been taking one every paragraph haha. So this quarter, life is pretty chill since I have only 4 classes (technically 5) and 2 of them are math. The other two classes I kinda don't like because I have to write essays, but they are easy if I am not so lazy. This week is pretty hectic, since I have two papers due and 2 midterms coming up. But after that I will be free, because lab will be canceled for preparation for midterms.  So this year's fantasy basketball.. I got 1st, 1st and 4th. Don't know what happened to the last team. I was winning but I guess it died?.. Whatever. Overall is not too bad. Here are the results from previous years: 2006 Results2005 Results2004 Results | | |
