I couldn’t really put it into words before
but what I miss most about Vegas is the panorama of
oil black sky pierced by golden stars lining the hills,
all of which experienced while driving home at 3am.

The result of last quarter wasn’t as bad as I expected:

  • MATH111 (Business Math): 3.6
  • ACCTG215 (Financial Accounting): 3.4
  • MGMT200 (Introduction to Law): 3.2

    I worked my arse off for math and I understand why I got a 3.5.
    I pretty much flunked the first midterm! Sigh…
    I seriously think I could have ended up with a 3.8 if the first test wasn’t so blah. But no matter I think I rebounded and am happy with that score.

    I am the MOST AMAZED by accounting.
    I didn’t understand anything during that class but I totally mastered the final exam. Plus I really think the 3.0 curve really helped a lot.

    On the contrary, I am most surprised by law (in a bad way).
    I studied like mega for this class and understood all the material.
    However, the tricky tests and pop quizzes got the best of me and I was only able to get slightly above the curve. Actually…I’m the first person above the 3.0 curve WAH AH AHA.
    But still…3.2 is definitely not what I expected.
    I guess the curve worked against my favor in this situation.

    Overall, for this being the killer quarter, I think I did pretty well.
    I managed to stay out of the 2.0-3.0 ranges for each class and my cumulative GPA only slightly dropped. Let’s see if next quarter can measure up to through the witchcraft of this quarter:

  • MATH112 (Business Calculus)
  • ACCTG225 (Managerial Accounting)
  • PHIL242 (Philosophy of Medicine)

    Ok seriously…
    the only things relatively close to Korea-fied about me are my glasses and FOB jacket, both of which I got from Thailand. I don’t appreciate it when people call me “Korean-wanna Be” when I don’t even conciously try to be one. Just because I’m studying the language doesn’t mean anything either sigh…

    In addition, let me clarify that I do not think anything is wrong with Koreans. Just that it took me by surprise that people had come up and told me about my seemingly faux Korea appearance, in which I promptly responded with, “What the crap?? How so?” Haha.

    Looking on the bright side, perhaps now if I go into a Korean restaurant, the owners might think me ‘one of them’ and give me the special discount. Sweeeeet.

    ——————-

    I think I’ve done all the law I can do tonight. I just have to take one math practice exam, and I think I’m going to call it a night. I wish I could stay up and just play videogames, but chyeah that’s obviously a bad choice. Finals week approaches – one more week away – one final this Friday, Saturday and then Tuesday – Blah! This quarter (cliche’ yes but) went by so freaking fast! All my classes were murder and I chose to continue the sequence for next quarter as well. Weeee! No matter. So far classes and the social life are pretty unpredictable. Let’s see how the rest of the year will turn out. I remember I changed quite a bit from fall to spring last year so I want to see how I develop this year in comparison. In the mean time, I just can’t wait to go home. I don’t have a car anymore so I don’t think I’ll be going out much but for sure I’ll just love sitting around and seeing old faces, catching up on old times, and/or talking as if nothing had even really changed since high school. I mean that in a good aspect! We all need to chill a little and that time for me is fast approaching. Sweet.

    BAHUMBUG!! I am never taking another class that has pop quizzes ever again!

    …or at the very least I’ll learn how to increase my clairvoyant abilities and predict when they will happen.
