Olga Vasquez, who teaches my COHI 100 class, is awful. She should not be teaching. People snicker and hiss during class (and it takes quite a bit before your average Communications student realizes something is wrong with a lecturer), and in defense of her, my TA cited her PhD from Stanford in our discussion section last week. If this bitch can get a PhD from such a prestigious institution, education has seriously lost its value in this country. We’re talking serious inflation here. I’ve decided to pursue a septuple-PhD from Yale. It should be a cinch.

At the end of April I went to San Jose/Santa Cruz/Capitola with Utako. I saw Mike, Jesus and my little brother. We had much fun.

Before class today I went to La Jolla Shores with Utako for some quick kite-flying. My pants are still damp up to my knees, but the beach was pretty and it was a nice way to start the day.

I want a nap.

Having two computers means I can do twice as many things at once. For instance, I’m typing up this blog entry while a list of Battlefield 1942 servers refreshes. Three cheers for productivity!

The last couple of days have been pretty uninspiring. Good thing I’ve got three weeks of vacation ahead of me, otherwise I would have kicked myself for wasting this weekend. I attended a couple of parties (Happy birthday, Paaj), watched a few movies, ate good food, tinkered at my computer, and otherwise laid around wasting time. I’ve got a slew of things I want to accomplish, but it felt good to decompress after wrapping up the past quarter’s work.

Crap, looks like I have to download a 143mb patch if I want to play 1942 online. So, 5 minutes to kill.

Here are things I might be doing for New Year’s Eve, followed by an estimate at their chances of being executed. Note that the percentages add up to 100.

Renting a house in Mexico with 5 other people, eating too much lobster, drinking too much Mexican beer and good tequila, walking drunk to the beach a lot and being an otherwise annoying tourist. 30%

Staying at Mike’s house in Capitola with a few other people, drinking a lot, walking drunk to the beach a few times, watching TV, cooking for ourselves (poorly) and playing the cliche role of “annoying college student.” 40%

Staying at Kimiko’s Uncle’s house in Mammoth and doing the same, predictable things listed above. 2%

Never leaving San Diego but making up for the lack of change in location by drinking extra hard with all my friends down here. 28%

Ha HA! The download finished!
