A reflection of the past year, because everyone does it. To start things off, I did not get to read Godel, Escher, Bach, nor did I do problems from that one challenge book, but I did learn Java (cs61bl in the summer). I did not laugh until I cried, but I did have more fun [...]
Continue Reading...Since flying to Irvine and seeing chocolate pudding in the supermarket with Paul, I’ve been craving chocolate pudding. I told him I’d probably get some when we go back to El Monte, so I didn’t buy any there. Little did I know how hard it was to find chocolate pudding. Cue the 2 week long [...]
Continue Reading...Yup. This brought back a lot of memories. Giving this speech is when I found out I really, REALLY suck at public speaking. Had to speak in front of 5 judges and I ended up butchering my speech. Skipped so many lines, stood there awkwardly without saying anything for a good minute (it was only [...]
Continue Reading...I can honestly say that this is the hardest semester of my life. Never have I ever done so poorly in all of my classes and have nothing to show. I spend most of my time on math, and it doesn’t turn out well; I spend a lot less time on CS, and, big surprise, I’m [...]
Continue Reading...After my long awaited trip to Malaysia (aug15-sept1), I learned a little more about myself. Other than the fact that I ate chicken poop when I was a toddler (which I’d known for a while), I started crawling when I was 4 months (average crawling age is 6-9 months), and walking by one. I was [...]

The process was extremely easy and fast, and I am still in slight disbelief that I am actually a declared math major. My faculty adviser is Persson!! He was my Math1B professor, and I loved the class. Declaring is [...]
Continue Reading...I finished up with MCB61, and very glad to be done with it. The final wasn’t too bad, and I’m pretty sure I did relatively well. Today was my first midterm for CS61BL, and I’m not quite sure how I feel about it. I think I did all right, but for some reason I can [...]
Continue Reading...I’ve always wondered why it is that we can have such varying amounts of patience with different people. With the people we like, it seems like the patience is never ending. With people we don’t, it seems as if every word, every expression, every movement they make is indescribably irritating. The most amazing aspect of all [...]
Continue Reading...Yay! I didn’t know that I had another year on this. I feel very relieved! On a side note, don’t take my story time posts very seriously. I like writing as if it’s the end of the world. It’s for dramatic effect! Story time is just for me to place random memories when, or if, [...]
Continue Reading...We were best friends. At times, even more than that. Things were slowly going downhill, and we weren’t acknowledging it. Or I wasn’t. You asked me if I thought we would still be talking in a few years. My response was automatic. ‘Of course. Why wouldn’t we be?’ I didn’t think much of it for [...]
