Another Twist On The Rocks

My ankles are lemons/limes.

Here I am multi-tasking with my foot elevated and iced, as I snack and enter payables in the system.

Pays to be flexible. Just don't ask how I answered my phone. ;)

Budding Klutz?

It was the first day of the summer semester. With the previous semester from hell behind me and an interesting summer class, the day was not so bad.

I was in the parking lot walking to my car and I noticed the nice cool weather. It's summer, yet it's not hot. The leaves fell to the ground as if it was autumn. The leaves crunched underneath my gate, I take in the unusually fresh-smelling air as I think to myself: this is a welcoming start to a fresh semester and summer. I start to smile...

BAM! I hear a POP as I trip and twist my right ankle. My car is in sight, but I can't move towards it. Only 5 weeks have passed since I sprained my left ankle, now I injure my other ankle?! The wind blew, carried with it the foul stench of nearby exhaust from vehicles on the neighboring freeway. The wind also separated the leaves in front of me, revealing the source of my throbbing pain - a pothole.

I realize there was never a fresh start; just a temporary illusion. Misinterpreted. In front of me is the same system, same lifestyle - difficult and sacrificing, to be continued.

Here I go...

Much Needed Escape

Took a flight out to San Jose as soon as I stepped out of my last final exam. Tito Larry took me to a Giants game - they lost but we had some great food.

Up first on bat is bratwurst with mustard and sauerkraut.


What would a good bratwurst be without a great draft? Smithwicks, mmmmmm.
Our stomachs died down with the Giants' game :( so we got this rice and steak bowl - bbq and spicy flavored.
Too bad for the Giants that night. But our palettes certainly won a few rounds. ;)

It's OVER!

That was the semester from hell!!!! Not exaggerating either, it was the toughest semester of my college career! Oh yes, it was tougher than the semester I had Calculus, Physics, Chemistry, and Cellular Biology together. Hard to imagine right? No question that semester was also difficult, but I managed.

There will be hard classes everywhere, the difference about what makes them tolerable or even enjoyable is the one presenting you the information: your professor.

Anyway, that's semester is over with and I came out alright. I have 10 days until summer semester starts...what should I do with my time?

I Heart Peet's Coffee

Sleepless nights. No social life. Endless reading. Constant studying. Unimaginably rude professors. What made it all bearable?

I love Peet's Coffee and it loves me :)

All In A Day's Consumption

The typical breakfast, lunch, and snack towards the end of the semester; particularly finals week.

Unless You Come Bearing Coffee, Don't Bother Me

It's that time again! This week is the last week of the Spring semester and of course, the week after that is FINALS WEEK!

So here we go. The 2 weeks of no sleep has started. The even later nights have come. The irritability. The stress. The pressure. The caffeine.

Come on! Let's get this over with so that I can enjoy my 10 days off before summer school starts. HAHAHA - just laughing through the pain...
