| I haven't posted in this for the longest time and I'm not sure who still uses Xanga. But to whoever still uses Xanga and is looking at this, I just want to say that moving sucks. This is my first experience moving out of an apartment, and I must say that it is one of the most painful and tiring experiences, especially since my housemates never clean. We spent a solid two days scrubbing, dusting, scrubbing, dusting, vacuuming, scrubbing, vacuuming, dusting, and scrubbing down the whole apartment. Moving all the furniture, etc into Public Storage was not fun either. I probably sweat like 10 lbs off my already skinny self. The moral of the story: Put what your mother told you into practice - Clean your room.

| Hello! It has been awhile since I last blogged anything on this xanga. Right now it's Winter Break and I'm finding myself bored as ever on a Sunday night 12:13 AM. Due to this boredom and extensive amount of free time I will blog about this past quarter:
Honestly, this last quarter has been the most difficult and trial-some quarter I've ever had. Strangely as it seems, I'm very glad. I'm not just glad because it's over, but I'm very glad that I went through this tough quarter. God has really shown me so many things this quarter. Before this quarter started, I knew it was going to be a tough quarter. This past quarter was my first experience with upper division engineering courses, and it did not help at all with me taking three of them and addition one upper division writing class. I felt so overwhelmed with school work. There was a point in the quarter where I basically wanted to give up. Engineering statistics and Dynamics were totally killing me. I failed all my midterms for those classes and I was on the verge of failing those two courses. I was worrying too much. There were nights where I began questioning whether or not to change my major. There were nights where I began questioning who I'm supposed to be. During those nights I would pray, and God would just calm my nerves and He'd tell me to stop worrying so much. As finals rolled around, I let God take control of my studying, my emotions, my worries, and my quarter. I felt a sense of "Hakuna Matata". Finals went by alright. I didn't feel that confident in how I would score, but I left it all up to God. As it turns out, I didn't fail any of my classes. As a matter of fact, I wasn't even close to failing any of my classes! Lesson #1: Let God take control and do not worry.
"Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own." - Matthew 6:34

| ...I got taxed. Since working at the Giants Dugout is my first job, I now realize how badly taxes stink. Twenty five percent of my paycheck went to taxes. It just makes me think about how hard it is for people to survive in San Francisco with a low paying job. It makes me want to watch "Pursuit of Happyness" again.

| Xanga is so complicated now. It took me 10 minutes to figure out how to start blogging.
It's been awhile since I last posted on this thing, so I'll tell you whats been up with me lately. But first, I'm really thirsty so I'm going to get something to drink in the fridge.
Okay, much better.
Alright, so third year of college starts in a month. Yeah...birds fly, airplanes fly, space shuttles fly, Red Bulls can make you fly, but time flies higher and so much faster than any of these things. So, whats been happening this Summer for me? Well, I'm so glad you asked...
1) I finished my chemistry requirements at community college this Summer. Yeah, it sucks for people who had to take General Chemistry @ Davis. With minimal effort, I was able to obtain an A in Chem 220 which is equivalent to Chem 2B. Only if classes could be that easy... Too bad it doesn't count towards my UC GPA. I've only had one A in college, and it wasn't even an A; it was an A MINUS.
2) I'm now an employee of the San Francisco Giants Dugout. Today was my first day. I'm excited for this job. It gives me something to do for a month and gives me some cash for me to get my new baby: Taylor 314ce or 414ce.
3) I went to Orlando, Florida for a week and just got back on Saturday night. Let me tell ya, Florida is hot.. literally. It's like a natural sauna. Disney World is humongous: 4 theme parks, at least 5 miles worth of highways dedicated to Disney, and parking lots the size of like 10 football fields. After each day, my feet fell off and every night I had to grow a new set of feet. .... Man, I don't feel like typing anymore. I'm tired. I'm still suffering from minor jet lag. It's like 4:07 am in Florida. I need to sleep. Update more later:::
