| Caltech |
[Oct. 7th, 2006|02:52 pm] |
Hrm....some quick thoughts/comments about caltech:
1. There are so many really smart people. (i.e. IPhO gold medalists, etc...)
2. Everyone is SO humble. Not just fake/polite humility...but real humility.
3. The Caltech environment really creates close bonds. Very tight-knit community.
4. Food is yummy :D
5. Board games, Badminton, Ping pong, and more fun!!!! (more applicable to certain houses though, not all of Caltech). |

| Neatness |
[Sep. 9th, 2006|06:04 pm] |
So, I've never been really neat. I can sometimes muster up the will to clean up my room or organize it in some way and even maintain it for short preiods of time, but I think I really need to fix this habit and what better time than college? Of course, don't wait till college to fix your bad habits...but I do think a new start can give some motivation. Anyways....so I wanted to try an idea I got but I need at least one other person who also is trying to do the same thing. Anyone interested? :P hehe...it might not work, but ::shrug:: might as well try. Just tell me by commenting/iming or something, hummm.
And for all the other people who aren't interested or are already neat, please do pray for me/remind me while I am at college in this area. I really think neatness and responsibility are things I fall short in (among many other things). Thanks! :) |

I was reading a little on a caltech forum and I stumbled upon a discussion on the Ch1a final....here are some quotes:
Yes, the exams tend to shove that cone up there a little. One problem from the Chem 1a final asked you to basically deduce the shape and and existence of delta bonds.
I may be in the minority here, but I actually liked the Ch1a final. I don't remember the specifics, but more of a feeling of "Well, I just got raped. But hey, it was kind of fun."
I agree with Fedor. The chem1a final was horrible in a very amusing way. I remember drawing a picture of myself on fire. A friend explained "Part 1 was like 'Here, I have candy' and part 2 was like 'Get into my van.'"
Sounds like fun!!! |

| College packing |
[Aug. 26th, 2006|02:07 pm] |
oh goodness.... I don't like packing because I know I'm going to forget something...oh well, here we go. So I found a list in the caltech new student information guide and a list in some random flyer/magazine that was mailed to me and I crossed off some stuff and added some stuff kind of quickly so if you guys think of something I'm missing or stuff I don't need, tell me!! :) Thanks.

[Jun. 26th, 2006|07:36 pm] |
haha, I should stop posting about my sister :P good thing she doesn't read my livejournal, otherwise she'd probably kill me, heehee
I think I should've realized by now that when Christina complains about doing poorly about something or not being prepared, that means she's going to own it. Cause she was talking about how "hard" the Chem SATII was and how she was messing up on some questions and doing poorly blahblhablah, so I actually thought she wasn't going to do very well (maybe low 700s?) and so I was like don't worry about it, etcetc
Wellwell....her scores came in. 800 MathIIC, 800 Chem, 770 Bio (Christina! How could you?!?!). |

well well well... I used to look at people play DDR and was like, hrmmmm...that doesn't look hard. You just have to push the arrow when the arrow on the screen matches and there's only 4 arrows!!
So...I played DDR for the first time today!!!! and totally miserably failed!! WOOHOO!! :P Haha, thanks to all for enduring that horrific stamping. |

|
| um, good game. I lose. |
[Jun. 11th, 2006|07:33 pm] |
Christina: I think it should be easy to to keep my A's, but it might be harder if I want to keep my A+'s.
Me: That's going on my profile.
(much laughter from me and angeline and half laughter half ranting/protests from christina)
Me: Oh wait, I don't have a profile. Oh well. |

| LONG comment on an article titled "Christian Virginity Overrated" |
[May. 23rd, 2006|11:24 pm] |
Added Note: okay, this was originally a comment on this article which was on my friend's lj. Unfortunately, it got a bit long....so when I went to submit it...."Comment Not Posted * Sorry, but your comment of 16470 characters exceeds the maximum character length of 4300. Please go back, shorten it, and try posting it again." Okay then....well after all that effort in commenting, I decided to post the comment in my lj and then link to it from my comment. If you're going to read my comment, you should probably read the article first or it might not be as clear. but whatever you want.
owww...my fingers hurt |

Okie doke, last day of prefrosh :) It's been fun so far! So...false rumors of caltech so far:
1. Caltech is TINY. Yep, caltech is small, much smaller than most universities. However, I heard from others that it was like...2 times the size of SHS or smaller than west valley college and that is blatantly untrue :P
2. Caltech is ugly. Nope, it just isn't :D It's actually quite pretty...but maybe it's cause it's spring right now :)
3. People are uber nerdy. Naw...well, I'm sure it's true, but they definitely don't act like it. so far I have spotted 0 math/science shirts (except for the prefrosh ones) and there has been no nerd talk.
4. Caltech's prefrosh is boring. I guess it probably might be to some people, but personally, I'm enjoying it. Food is good (but I'm not picky), games are good, classes are...okay (almost fell asleep in one). Overall: good!
Anyways, seems like Caltech is really cool. I met some cool Christians on campus and there was a really fun Mafia/Games Night :P I won BANG! MUAHAHAHA ;) I think one (caltech) guy was um...looking not happy? Cause apparentely he's good and he thought we were all new, haha. I should be careful to be nicer so they don't hate me :D Capture the Flag tonight. Oh yea, the business program at Caltech seems REALLY AWESOME. So yea, I'll probably be getting a double major in EE and business if I go :) funfunfun!!! Unfortunately, the rumor that Caltech is crazy hard/busy is um...quite true. Not only that, everyone I've talked to so far agrees that EE is one of the hardest majors :( (along with chemE and physics). So if I go, I get to die in EE...mm...yum. Yep, I've been trying to be more social/welcoming and conversational to others which is working out pretty well I guess, but not always :P Oh, a rumor that is definitely true is the boy:girl ratio. Actually, according to the statistics, the boy:girl ratio should be 2:1 (1/3 girls). Although that has to be true statistically, it really looks like the ratio is more like 4:1 or worse (just from looking around and stuff). Then again, maybe all the girls are hiding in the dorms? ::shrug:: |

Hum de dum, just got to Caltech now :) Seems pretty cool so far and it's not as ugly as everyone claims it is :P (or maybe I just don't have an eye for these kind of things). The rooms are pretty big, so that's nice. Can't wait to look around. Hope everyone's having fun at school ;) |

hum, a lot of times I notice people (me included) stuck on some conflict they had with someone else or angry/complaining about someone. They rant (or write) about what the other person did, how unfair it is, how unreasonable it is...
I thought of an experience I had when I was younger.
I used to get in trouble with my dad a lot. He used to be really strict and had a bad temper. Once (or several times), he lectured me on something and it soon escalated to be pretty bad and he was getting mad at me and I was getting mad at him (in my head). I remember saying something about his bad temper or about how he also was "bad" in what he was lecturing me about. His response was (in chinese):
Is this about me or about you? Are you trying to correct me or are you trying to learn?Do you or do you not want to learn? You be concerned with fixing your problems. I'll fix mine.
Of course I had to respond (to whether or not I'm learning his point) yes. Saying no would make him more angry and lead to more hours of lecture. Whenever he said that I thought it was really unfair and hypocritical of him. Here he was saying that I had to fix my own problems without regard to his and there he was pounding me on my problems and not fixing his own!!
Looking back, it's amazing how true his words are. Often we get so caught up in the other person's faults that we don't gain anything out of the experience. Sometimes it's DEFINITELY the other person's fault. Sometimes they do things that are horrible to us even when we only made a small mistake. But even so, I have realized how important it is to look at what I can learn from that experience. What did I do wrong? What could I have changed? What character is God trying to build in me by that? Sometimes I get so heated up in complaining about how wrong the other person is...that I never get the chance to learn my mistake. Let the other person fix their own problems...or not fix them if they so choose. Justifying how right you were ends up putting you on the losing side...for the sake of justifying yourself you lose the chance to grow.
P.S. Not saying my dad is bad. He's awesome :D In fact, now his temper has gotten better by LEAPS and BOUNDS. So he must've been fixing himself while he was pounding me :D
edit: this is not targetted at anyone!! really! |

My family was in the car driving back from eating dinner and I was looking at my brother's shirt. It has a bear that says Captain Argo in it. Basically in argonaut they have these bears and they named a big one captain argo (and that shirt is their class shirt or something). So anyways, he started telling me of this other teddy bear (smaller one) that the class also named (based on votes).
So he told me that he suggested the name "pickle"...yep...and apparentely a lot of people liked it and they voted it as the bear name. hehe. So yes, they have a bear in the classroom called pickle...mmm...interesting :D |
