No excuse!

So SORRY to those who still drop by my blog and take a peek to see if I've updated....Busy life ain't an excuse for not updating for so long!!! But a lot of stuff have been happening and I hardly have time to breath, let alone update my blog!

Just a summary of wat's been goin' on with my 'busy life'...lolz!

~ TESTS!! one after another... This past week was chemistry (not doing too good in this class since I have the most strict and grumpy and demanding teacher... He doesn't allow us to bring formulas for chemistry... So we've gotta depend on our brains to memorize almost every fact and tiny detail in chemistry). Next week is Calculus! Imagine lar...In high school we only had about 4 exams in total (including finals, midterms, etc) and that's for the whole year. But this Calculus teacher is giving us 5 tests and also a Finals... So the total would be 6 exams in just 5 months (1 semester)! This upcoming one is Test 4. So we have one more test to go after this, and then the FINALS! Finally!!!

~ An October b'day party at a friend's house... We celebrated with 8 birthday boys and gals!!!

~ Worked at the Rolling Stones concert, 3 college football games, and 1 basketball game! Rolling Stones was okay to me since I'm not really a fan of theirs...But it was a full house! 42,000 tickets ranging from $60 to $300 were sold out! I did 'Pat Down' that day, meaning I had to search ppl's bags, pockets, and check to see if they're trying to sneak in prohibited stuff. Among the things I had to confiscate were the usual food and drinks, alcohol, weed/drugs (yes, this teenager was trying to bring in that too!), frisbies, banners, etc... For the other games, I did ushering.

~ Went for advising, and then registered for classes for the upcoming Spring semester. I'll be taking a full load again next semester. This time with more engineering classes, and two higher level math classes! Hopefully I'll survive it!

~ Lots of homework, lab reports, learning how to use MATLAB for engineering, and also a finals project for my EE class!!!


Events that I'm looking forward to:

1. Thanksgiving! We're invited to two close friends homes for lunch and dinner! Menu: Roasted Turkey (of course!), cranberry stuffing in the turkey, and others... For dessert: pumpkin, chocolate, apple, and peach pies! I know...That's a lot of pies! I'll have a small slice of 2 of 'em only lar... Hmm...which one should I eat eh??? lol!! Besides the glorious meals, the reason we celebrate Thanksgiving is to be thankful and eternally grateful to our Provider for all His blessings. We also thank God for our wonderful church, families and friends. (Did I mention that I'll get two days off because of Thanksgiving? hehe! That's another thing I'm very thankful for!)

2. In less than two months, we'll be celebrating Christmas! HoHoHo!!! And I'll be having my winter hols from Dec 9 to Jan 14!!! Hurray!!! Oh talking about Christmas, our Uni is having a Secret Santa Program whereby students and staff will get Christmas gifts for under privileged kids. The kids already requested their wish list and sent it to "Santa"! On Nov 28, we'll have a gift wrapping party at the Uni to wrap all the prezzies!! So all of us are "Santa"! Indeed, it's better to give than to receive!


One thing that I'm NOT really looking forward to is:

1. Final exams from Dec 1 to Dec 8! But I know I'll be really glad once it's OVER!!
