2 weeks left!

Theres only 2 weeks left! These last couple of weeks been relaxing, challenging, and very thoughtful. Sungod was pretty good, but nowhere close to T.I second year. I didn't even drink this year surprisngly, everything was just pretty chill in general I guess. I also just had my research internship presentation last week. I felt like I OWNEDDD IT!!! I spent the three day weekend on it making it and I knew what I was talking about the whole time and wasn't even nervous in front of the class. Haven't really felt like that ever. People said I talked superfast but it was sort of difficult to have to mention all the crap i had to talk about..meiofauna biodiversity, pcr, dna extraction, sequencing, results, conclusions in freakin 15 minutes. ehh..it was all good, it was a overall a very good experience.

My P.I for my lab really really helped me analyze my results and he taught me a lot of things. He still probably thinks I'm an idiot but whatever haha. I think in the end, he knew I tried hard, and I just gotta thank him and Karen for teaching me a LOT of stuff this whole year. (hopes they'll still write me recommendation letters in October haha) I also had a good lunch with my BOSS from Bioservices couple of weeks ago. I actually GOT TO KNOW my boss a lot more! He's a reverend at a church and he's getting his masters in theological studies. All I can say is, he could be a strict boss, but he's probably one of the coolest bosses one could ever ask for. He definitely taught me some advice about life in general, etc. He say I might get something *special* for being one of the best employees the last two years (we'll see hahahaha). Man, I hope I will have an awesome boss when I find a new job after college...sighhhh

Just now, I also had a good talk with my rooommate AGAIN who I am definitely going to miss after college. Probably one of the chillest, coolest, funniest guy to live with these last two years. We were just talking about acquaintances and people after the collegelife, THE REAL WORLD, and things about encountering and dealing with superficial/FAKE people UAHHH. He says you gotta be fake to fake people, and use "politics" on them ahahhah. I have a feeling that having coworkers as friends sure aint gonna be the same as regular friends..

Anyways, I am not gonna forget this FOR SURE. FATASS Caterpillar in the room is what I called it haha. MUST see before and aftermath of the caterpillar on the youtube site, basically all the green blood splatted on the blinds and my desk LOL. FUN TIMES hahaha.


These last weeks had just been so crazy. My netbook broke down so I had to dissect it and install these parts that I got from SWEDEN. YES, SWEDEN. ASUS doesnt sell parts cause they wanna rip you off by sending it in, so I had to buy a fan from europe, where the shipping cost three times than the actual fan!!!! But now the laptop is all good, but still a slow piece of crap.
Wes's comp broke down too, it just randomly shuts off, and he had a shitload of viruses.. but we managed to freakin fix that shit too, so that was pretty awesome.


Last week, I also used some of my work money and got a new ipod touch. I spent some good hours jailbreaking it. It was very exciting and now I can get paid apps for free!!! (so illegal, I am chinese though, what are ya gonna do, we're known for pirating) haha. Planning to jailbreak and edit my sisters and wesley, that should be fun.




For memories...

BUT...I have my doubts...I still don't feel like I am smart enough to go. I am gonna try my hardest studying GRE's this summer, no more of that halfass shit I did back in high school with the SATS. Luck doesn't come twice.
