'I love first because of the late nights, the unparralleled stress, the excitement, the emotion. Because of the close defeats, the close victories. Because of the pride, the sense of accomplishment, the feeling of embettering the world. But most of all, because of you, the other teams. - Replic

I've been saying I'll move my blog, but apprently my web hosting support hasn't even given me a ticket to my question about where is Perl on the server yet, so I guess it's not happening anytime soon, and that means that no one will read my blog anytime soon, either.
Robotics is tiring. It didn't seem so bad during the long weekend because of the looser schedule, but staying at school from 8 to 8 is really too much. All the while spending most of my meeting time [3:15-8:00] in front of a 'traditional' projective-styled monitor. I have a flat panel [and just for those who don't know, it's similar to the screen of a notebook/laptop], so staring at the screen for 4.5 hours is nowhere as tiring as staring at the ones in school. I have to remember to set the screen to 1024x768 at school. The 1280x1024 that Yang had set has the tiniest font that is close to unreadable, not to mention destroying my already getting worse eyes. They're not perfect anymore =(
Oh, I'm in the programming/electronics sub-team [which has basically splitted into electronics (Chris Garris) and programming anyways], so I have to learn the complicated C. pBasic [the language used last year] was very simple, but C is...confusing. Very confusing. In some aspects anyways. Anyhow, this evening Mr.Cole [mentor], Mr. Leibs [parent], and Mr. Garris [parent] pretty much spent most of the time trying to figure out the beacon code and circuit, and discussing about their possible solutions that is uncomprehensible to most of us team members [Garris probably understood a lot more than me; his dad IS an expert on C...]. Anyways, in the end, the only one left listening to them discuss was me and Garris, and Garris is mainly working on the electronics, Cole said I'd be doing some simpler C coding tomorrow.
As Garris had predictied would not fail to happen again, many people left after they ate [around 6:30, those food-oriented dorks! +koffchrisleekofflearwangkoff+], and especially the chasis team? almost the whole team left. hmmm...I find it scary that Mr. Garris' first name is Larry [ooooh, same first name as Kat's dad, and in somewhat the same jobs], and calls Garris 'Christopher' [like 'Katherine']. Anyways, just something I find interesting...
Yes, I decided that it'd be more interesting to ramble about my tiring life in school rather than do my pre-calc homework�not that I dislike math or anything...I did finish my other homework =D
But seriously, I need to take my classes more seriously, and actually study. I think I'm getting 2 B's for the 1st semester, and that is bad for me =^^;;=

I'll give a more detailed account later if I feel like so, but today I went to Chinatown, carried 8 sticks around all day [bloody! I left them in the car! They cost $12!], saw a tree with more shoes than leaves on it, a guy that, we suspect, pooped on the street and was about to wipe his butt [he definitely didn't have any pants on...], went to Metreon, bought PS2, mem card, and DDR Max, got my Enduring Vision [AP Hist textbook] from Idaho, and watched 8 Mile [I didn't watch it, but saw some parts] & Vanilla Sky. It's 12:54am currently, and I'm tired. I woke at 9 yesterday morning; can't blame me.
Vanilla Sky was nice; I liked it, plot/theme-wise =)
Also, I've decided on the website layout, and I do believe I will move my blog as soon as I figure out Graymatter.

I swear. I'm not Sai-Obsessive. Maybe I am HIKARU NO GO/AKIRA-obsessive, but...well, I guess no one would believe that since I picked mostly SAI illustrations for a layout... =^^;;=

Went to robotics 08:45-17:00. I used a drill. [VROOOM!]
I changed the following Fanfic quote a bit to make it more brief and to change some tones, but the idea is the same and because of the changing, I will credit her also with a link. And anyone who understands this had most likely read Hikaru no Go. By the way, so far all my fanfics I've found are from FanFiction.net

EA was great. I was a bit about ditching Robotics to go, but I'm glad I took a chance although I'm not supposedly be on the list. American McGee's Alice is great. A bit creepy, true, but intriguing. I was playing it in the Games Room in EA Headquarters 'Mission Impossible', Located in Foster City, CA, for over an hour, I believe, and it was fun. I also played Silent Hill 3 with Amy...IT IS SUCH A CREEPY AND SCARY GAME! But it's also...intriguing =D Scary, but I still want to play. =oO;;=
I did go to robotics afterwards, but didn't do much.
Uh, I'll post pictures I took inside the EA 'Mission Impossible'...soon. No pictures of 'Mission Control' though; there weren't much to see.
Mission Control is the building in which all the executives are; the managers [I think], etc.
Mission Impossible is the building in which games develop. Called so because 'of the people inside' [from MC personal] or because 'of what they do' [from MI personal], you decide.
The quote is from a sign placed in front of a labyrinth made of short grass in the EA campus. I thought it's a great quote that applies to many things =)

ROFL. I love fanfics. It inspires me to write one too =* *= But of course, I'm a horrible writer, so....

Yes, yes, I'm supposedly to be studying either for English or Physics finals, but I came to post and state that I'm really too obsessed at fanfictions and those fanfic writers are hillarious. Maybe I should try too...that reminds me: Layout, storyboard, robotics T-shirt design, robotics idea, and yeayea, study.
