hi.



Hello hello. ^_^

First order of business; I forgot to upload the image of the cupcakes I made on my birthday!
So, here they are; you're going to have to click on the photo to see all of them, because it gets cropped out by the margins. :(


... That's after my friends had a few already. Yes. I made a lot lot lot of cupcakes and gave them to all of my friends, and I felt good. Sorry I forgot to show those to you!

I'll put the photos from Las Vegas at the end of the blogpost, just in case you were wondering. Yes, I did upload them finally! :D

Anyway, since the last time I blogged, which was on 1 December 2010, I've done a few things, but basically life has been rather relaxed and calm.

On 2 December I handed in the last term paper for my Holocaust General Education class. In that class, the Professor told us that every single person in that class had a current grade of A or A-... And then told us that he would cancel the final exam because none of us could do better anyway! Hurrah! So I definitely have at least one A or A-... Yay! That made me happy. ^_^

On 3 December I handed in a take-home final exam for my Latin American General Education class, woohoo! I'm really glad that class is over, it was pretty boring... Also, on that day I taught at a high school called Animo Locke. That class was by far the most rowdy and raucous of the classes I have taught so far. Whew! Those kids knew a lot more than they should at that age, and it was truly unfortunate. I hope they turn out alright. What made it even more sad was the fact that some of the kids, you could tell, were truly good kids who wanted to learn and be good people, but the other students weren't letting them, and forcing them to try to be 'cool'. It was really sad.

On 4 December, USC played their last American Football game of the season against UCLA at the Rose Bowl (the stadium) in Pasadena. OF COURSE, we won. Fight on! But I must say, that was maybe the worst performance of the season by USC. Shameful. I really hope the USC team pulls it together next season. Of course the NCAA sanctions hit us bad, but that doesn't mean we have to lose our dignity too! Come on, Lane Kiffin. You can do it!

... That's about all that has happened so far really. Today I went to a review session for Chemistry. I really hope I can do well on that final. I need it.

Tonight I got free food from a USC sponsored event... Free Chipotle burrito and Chick-fil-a chicken nuggets! Hurrah! I love free food. ^_^
... But of course, so do all other university students! So, the line for the free food was soooo long... I'd say at least 1500 people showed up for the free food! Thankfully, Cameron and I showed up an hour early and made sure we were at the front of the line. Haha.

And... what else... Ah yes. On Wednesday I have my Chemistry final, and on Thursday I have an essay and a presentation for my Latin American General Education class. After that, I have until Wednesday 15 December to write my take home final exam essay for my Psychology class. Then, it's home sweet home!

... I suppose that's all I have to write in terms of blogging for now.

With respect to the photos from Las Vegas, I realized that it would be a huge endeavour to put photos of everything here, so I uploaded them all here:

copy and paste the URL into the address bar, and you'll be able to see all of the photos I took in Las Vegas!

I hope you enjoy!
