It's the beginning of a new week. That wouldn't change anything for me. It's just another seven-day journey inside a tunnel with all the unpleasant things happening. After waking up at 9:00am, I just slacked off for about fifteen minutes before getting dressed and eating.
After breakfast, I left the house for school. I was five minutes earlier than my usual arrival time, therefore as always, I went to the computer lab to check on the NHL trades. Florida Panthers had made the most trades. So when it was 11:25am, I went to my English class.
We began the day by talking about the research essay assignment. We also spent part of class time talking about what kind of internet sources are reliable and what forms are not. Later at the end of the class, we finished everything by talking about the Biafran War which occurred in Nigeria. Wow, suddenly my English class has become a History class as well. How cool is that!
When English class was over, I went to my history lecture hall. We spent the day lecturing on Brezhnev, the Afghanistan invasion, solidarity, Reagan and the collapse of the Soviet Empire. I think out of all the lectures I've attended, I was able to pay attention really well and didn't fall asleep. Again, if you ask me why, I will not be able to answer that question.
After history, I went to my Chinese class where we spend most of the class reviewing and going over what will be on the midterm exam tomorrow! I feel like I'm ready even though I might not know everything.
So after school, I went home to study all day. At the same time I was making my video which I didn't finish because Windows Movie Maker was malfunctioning. The quiz mark was a disappointment, I will try to settle for perfection in this midterm. Sounds impossible eh? Well, I don't care. I'm going for perfection this time!!! Also, I will be getting my English in-class essay back tomorrow. I'm doomed!!! Prediction: 6/15. Fuck my life!

Hockey Pool Week 19 Recap
Seven days journeying in this gloomy tunnel, I can finally say I've reached an exit where I can see light temporary. Journeying in this gloomy tunnel was harsh as I've encountered many ungrateful things that unstable my life. First came school and then hockey!
Well this blog post is suppose to be about my hockey pool result and here is what I've got to say about my two teams!
Starting on my team in the NHL League, I suffered a good loss to an opponent who somehow lucked out badly with his gay ass skaters, despite having a terrible goalie week. Some of the highlights which turned the whole week in favor of him was when Tampa had the 8-3 win over the Phoenix Coyotes. Vincent Lecavalier helped him by contributing five points on that night. Which I never recovered from. Fuck you Jason Labarbera! You fucking suck! Go kill yourself! Big Milan Lucic also contributed big for him which totally killed me. However, the player of the week for my matchup belongs to Phil Kessel who had been my team's superstar, by contributing 8 points. Glad to see him hot now! I really needed this! So the final score is 9-4. With this loss, I lost my second place! Now I have three weeks to get it back otherwise I might even miss the playoffs!
On to my team in the Canucks4cup League, I had a great week. Beating my opponent by a fairly solid margin. My goalies were great this week which contributed to this week's success. With Phil Kessel's 8 points, I was able to topple him in the points. I could have won by a larger margin if I knew what I was doing yesterday, when I was choosing which player you pick up. Anyways, I won by a score of 12-4 and is inching closer to move up to 4th place, my most desired spot besides being in second place.
A tough week starting tomorrow, as I will be cheering against the Sedin Twins, Roberto Luongo, Christian Ehrhoff and Mikael Samuelsson. If only my goalie can play like this starting tomorrow, I've got a shot in winning! 3 weeks left to accomplish what I need!

Hockey Week 22
Ever since the midterm and the in-class essay, my life has been unstable. What I mean by unstable is that I wouldn't know what I would be doing next. That being said, it didn't stop me from doing my Friday's stuff.
I woke up early this morning for some strange reason which I couldn't answer myself. After spending an hour on the computer doing nothing, I got to business and began my house chores campaign. Later on, I had brunch ( breakfast + lunch combined ) and had a cup of cold chocolate milk. I was watching anime while texting friends. I watched anime from 11-3:45pm and then I played a game of Empire Earth only to find out that my friend said I could go to his house, fifteen minutes ago.
I got dressed and had my mom gave me a ride to the bus stop. Tell you now, it is awfully cold today. My hand was freezing though as a person living in Canada, get used to the cold! I arrived at his house at around 5:10pm. We played a few games of NHL 11 before heading to hockey.
Hockey was bizarre! We had around 30 people or so and there was a conflict based on how the system of the night would be. Either two full teams or King of the courts. Well, my team split up into two teams while the other team was together. That being said, my team was the underdog, yet we were brilliant. Ever since losing our first game, we won the rest! Reason? It's because everyone played pretty well with one another which shows why we were successful! That being said, I took a highstick on the forehead and proceed to bleed. But that didn't stop me from getting out there and to play the game. I did leave after I was highsticked but I still played later on and contributed well on the defensive role!
After hockey, I got a ride from a friend to 41st Avenue before painfully struggling my way to a Shanghai restaurant. I didn't really eat anything at all because my stomach was in severe pain, which would escalate the pain if I put stuff inside my stomach. However I felt better later and ate a few things before we went home.
My friends from Richmond came over to play NHL 11. We first played PES 11, which I wasn't really good at, because I have never been good at soccer games. The game is much harder with passing and shooting and even the controls. I suffered a 1-0 loss but was still proud of my performance. Later we played NHL 11. After losing so many games when I was a goalie, because of my incompetency stopping one timer, my team finally won by a score of 5-3. Now that they have left, I took a shower, wrote this blog post, and will be sleeping now.

College Post- Dooms Day 76 and 77
This two days has been the worse day ever on what I have experienced. Yesterday was just the beginning of it and today it seems like doom is over? Well I wouldn't be so sure about that. Yesterday my English class had an in-class essay. I was only able to get the introduction and half of the first body paragraph finished before running out of time. That means I have to prepare for the next body paragraph at home!
Though when English was over, the next stage of doom came when I was in my History lecture hall. The first thing we got back was our midterm. Can you say doomed????? I was really anticipating myself to be completely doomed! Though when I saw my mark, it seems like Master Doom has forgotten to fail my midterm so I received a pass, 13/25. I surprisingly did quite well on the essay portion. 7/10. However I already anticipated that I have done poorly on the short answer portion which I did. 6/15. Anyways we lectured about the French new leader, De Gaulle as well as lectured about what happened after the cold war, as Europe started to begin as a free trade world!
After History, I went to the Chinese lab for the class. All we did was reading the passage that our instructor send us and translate it with a partner. This is just a prep for the oral midterm.
The next day which is day 77, my English class took the whole class to finish up the in-class essay. I had to rush through mines at the end but was still able to finish. I predicted a fail due to the fact I don't think my writing is good enough for a pass. Anyways, after my two hour break I went to my Chinese class. We first got our quiz back. I've so far received the lowest mark I ever got. 30.5/40. This is totally embarrassing and a disgrace! I will try to redeem myself when the midterm comes! Our class today was just another boring 50 minute lesson on giving directions to people.
After class I bussed to a friend's house to play NHL 11. We played until 6:20pm and I went to Subway with him and then went home after. When I got home, I fixed my TV and watched the Canucks game. Good game, despite the Canucks' lack of discipline which got them into penalty troubles. They still won by a score of 3-2.
So dooms day wasn't just for school. My hockey pool is doomed as well! Yes I admit, I show no respect to opponent players and verbally denounce their team. That being said, it doesn't change the fact that they accumulated more points than me. My hockey pool is toasted!!!! :( Life sucks!

College Dooms Day 75
Just as the days become much more gloomy, I suffered more than ever. This is really getting to the point where I'm starting to get used to all the pains I have to endure. That being said, I'm still alive! I'm not dead yet! But who knows when I will be.
Anyways, on a beautiful doomsday Tuesday morning, I woke up at 9:00am and had to get ready to go to school. That being said, I still went through my morning routines before leaving the house at 10:10am. It was pretty cold for a doomsday but that's what it is expected. I still managed to get to school by 11:00am as usual and I stayed inside the computer lab for a little while before heading into my English classroom.
First nightmare of the day began when we received our first essay back. Was pretty disappointed receiving a 7.5/15. Due to my writing style and sentence being way too confused this was the mark I deserved. Luckily my instructor offered to let us have a re-write, for those who received under 75%. After class, I had a small chat with her. Her recommendation would be simplifying the way I write, which means stop using so many big words!!!
After class, I stayed behind in a computer lab reading and reading! Nothing really happened during my two hour break. By 2:10pm, I left the lab and went to my Chinese class. All we did was reading dialogue 2 for lesson 8. We didn't have to write anything, just reading!
After class I went home and began reading again for my English in-class essay! After dinner I went on to catch the Canucks game in which they disgracefully lost to the Montreal Canadiens by a score of 3-2. No forgiving to them unless they beat St.Louis and Boston by a large margin!!!

College Dooms Day 74
Fuck my life! Dooms Day is something that a person never wants to experience. I certainly cannot escape it! Help! Dooms Day is only the beginning. This campaign will haunt me for ages!
What I did this morning after waking up is going down for breakfast and then continue to study my Chinese quiz. I left at 10:00am, knowing that there is no point in staying for the last 15 minutes. I got on the dooms bus to Aberdeen station to take the Dooms line to school. After arriving to school, I stayed in the computer lab for a while. Until I checked that my English class has been canceled. I then stayed until 12:30pm and then head to my history lecture hall. We handed in our simple thesis statement. Now I'm really doomed. I didn't know we need to have five sources minimum! Sigh.. this is hell!!
We spend the class talking about the Vietnam War, in which badly affected the Americans. Nobody in America really supported the war as they eventually saw what was going on. After history, I went to my Chinese class. We had a quiz which I messed up on a few words on. Fuck me! Anyways, the quiz took the whole class. We then get to leave after!
I got home all grumpy and didn't answer when my mom asked me what's wrong. I never tell anyone what my problem is. No need to get them all worried. Anyways I then started doing homework and until now!
Fuck my life! Life fucking sucks shit!! When will I see the brighter days. Maybe never at all. I'm doomed.

Hockey Pool Week 18 Recap!
Another week completed. Thank God! Now it's time to take on the next depression week. Before all that sorrow, it's time to talk a little bit about my hockey pool week! Hooray!
First pool has it's ups and downs only because of the goalie portion. My friend has two shutouts thanks to two rivalry useless Canadian teams, the Maple Leafs and the Canadiens. Fuck you both! You suck! Anyways, the shutouts didn't prevent me from winning as I still ended up with a 7-5 decent win. It's been 5 months now that I'm finally back to .500 again! Next challenge is to get a record above .500!
Second pool was good though. I play a guy whose team's backbone represents the Chicago Blackhawks and the Philadelphia Flyers. The points total was close, since he launched his final assault today, but wasn't enough as I hold on to a convincing 10-6 victory. Next opponent will be as tough but I'm ready. I've also moved up to 5th place! About fucking time!
Tomorrow will be the start of a disappointing week. Hopefully get to see my midterm mark so I can see how badly I've failed! I will need extra time to get over it and focus on other things. Have fun!

Hockey Week 21
A week is almost over since I've been busy and stressed over stuff, especially school. On a beautiful Friday, the Shumstar woke up a bit late at around 9:30am. After getting on the computer for a while, he went to do house chores as what his mother had left ordered before she went to work. After an hour of vacuuming and mopping the house, the Shumstar had macaroni for breakfast and glass of fruit punch.
After breakfast, Little Shumstar spend most of the morning and afternoon working hard researching for his History term paper. Unfortunately, it wasn't enough. Though he still followed his daily schedule. At 2:30pm, he left his house to meet up with a friend as they went to hang out all the way until hockey at 6:00pm
Hockey was fun. Close game too. Shumstar's team prevailed by a score of 16-15. After hockey, he had sushi with his mother before picking up his little sister at David Thompson Secondary.
When they got home, Little Shumstar showered and began to blog! And now going to continue working on his research!

College Day 73
By far the worse day of school. The more I talk about it, the more depressed I get. Like a friend said, it's over. What's done has been done, no need to look back at it. So this blog post will be short.
After waking up when the sky becomes clear, I immediately got dressed, packed my stuff and got down to eat breakfast. I finished everything early so I decided to review my stuff for the midterm. I even arrived to school early just to study without distractions.
English class, I was somewhat paying attention but was busy reviewing. After class, I went directly to my History lecture hall. After reviewing for the last 10 minutes, that's when the nightmare campaign started. I cannot say that the Short Answer portion was hard. If I actually remembered the stuff, it's really a piece of cake. Somehow that wasn't the case. The essay portion wasn't hard as well. Though I admit my paragraph ideas were all over the place. I'm predicting a fail mark. out of 25, I predicted 12/25. I even took the whole 2 hours just to finish and double check.
After class, I went straight to my Chinese lab. We spend the class doing practice dialogue exercise with classmates. Everybody including myself ended up slacking off and just had a chitchat until we switched partners.
After class, I went home. Being all depressed, I start massively gaming just to get my mind off. Even after dinner I continued to game. Though I wouldn't do it tomorrow, because I'm going to start on my History research essay!

College Day 72
Waking up in the morning only to eat breakfast and head out to school. Arriving at 11:00am as been a routine and the streak is still happening.
As always, first class of the day is English. Spend the class talking about The Ultimate Safari and the interconnection between human and animals. Break broke out after English class. Spend the two hours studying for my History midterm.
Chinese class erupted after my two hour break. As usual, class time consist of grammar lessons and vocabulary usage. Pretty much of the same stuff, if you ask me but I don't care.
Last class is always Chinese class. I went home after and began to study for the rest! Even when I'm tired, I still studied just for that midterm. That's about it

Hockey Pool Week 17 Recap!
Another week done! This week I really don't have anything to describe it, except that things has gone up and down. Though, I wont' complain too much because in fact, it was pretty good despite that when you first see it, it looks like shit. Well here is what happened.
In my first pool, I played my division leader. Despite the snail pace in accumulating points I managed to squeak by him scoring one more point than him. I prevailed by a score of 9-0. It was the second time that I've shutdown an opponent. I was 15 point behind him, now I lead 3 points over him which meant that I rank second! What a turn of an event. I was dead last in the pool, now I fought all the way back to be in second place. Goal now is to keep it up!
Now here comes the dark side. In my second pool, it was a rough ride. My opponent has exploded for 30 points in the first 3 days before slowing down to only 10 points more for the last 4 days. The only thing that kept my hopes alive was the goalie categories. Unfortunately, he was able to steal 2 categories away, while I could only steal 1 from his player status. I ended up losing 9-7. Which I wouldn't complain too much about. I'm trying to move up the rank now. I have been stuck in 6th place for the past 4 months. But soon, I'm going to catch to 5th place, hopefully move up to 4th by the playoffs!

It was the second time that I've shutdown an opponent. I was 15 point behind him, now I lead 3 points over him which meant that I rank second! What a turn of an event. I was dead last in the pool, now I fought all the way back to be in second place. Goal now is to keep it up!
Now here comes the dark side. In my second pool, it was a rough ride. My opponent has exploded for 30 points in the first 3 days before slowing down to only 10 points more for the last 4 days. The only thing that kept my hopes alive was the goalie categories. Unfortunately, he was able to steal 2 categories away, while I could only steal 1 from his player status. I ended up losing 9-7. Which I wouldn't complain too much about. I'm trying to move up the rank now. I have been stuck in 6th place for the past 4 months. But soon, I'm going to catch to 5th place, hopefully move up to 4th by the playoffs!

Hockey Week 20
So a great Friday today. Despite the bad weather, it's still a good one. In fact, I love Fridays and I'm sure everybody does as well. I woke up at 9:30am and spend a little while on the computer before doing my house chores. I got lazy and only did 2/3 without anybody noticing.
By 10:30am I finished and ate something. I then spend a little while doing my homework and waited for my friend's bus to reach Knight Bridge and then I get out of the house. He phoned me when I was about to head out and I spotted him waiting at the bus stop for me. We then took the 405 bus to Garden City and walked to the cafe. Unfortunately, it was full of people. We decided to head to another cafe to eat instead. I ordered a curry chicken rice. When we had to pay, I paid for my buddy because he didn't bring cash and he returned 5 bucks to me.
After lunch, we walked to Aberdeen Center and visited NCIX first, because he wanted to look for a mouse. Next stop we visisted Daiso. We haven't been there for ages so we decided to pay a visit. Later, we took the skytrain to Langara station and took the 49th bus to his place. We played NHL 11 at first. I purposely gave him a 5 goal lead, because I wanted to try to make a huge comeback, but fell short every time due to hitting the post. Later, we played street fighter 3. I at first kept losing, because the game was so fucking retarded. Button spamming for him worked early. But when I started to use the Hadokens with Ryu and Ken, he started losing. After that, we played NHL 3 on 3 arcade. I kept losing, but whatever. Just before we went to hockey, we played some shootouts in NHL 11.
By 5:40pm, we left his house. He first went to the library to return a borrowed book and then straight to hockey. Our game was pretty fun today. We ended up having a tied game 12-12. After hockey, I went home and ate something before showering and blogging! Time to work on my essay!

College Day 70
Thursday now! Just like that, boy did it ever take so long. As what they always say, time flies by pretty quickly and time won't reserve! Anyways, who cares. Today was pretty sunny outside. I sure really missed the gorgeous sky in the beginning of February. Hell, waking up today was nothing at all. I couldn't sleep last night, due to body itchiness. I woke up at 8:30am and spend 30 minutes listening to music to change my mood.
At 9:00am, I got dressed and went downstairs to get breakfast. Had a bowl of macaroni and leftover sushi. Sushi in the morning seem awkward, but I don't care. I forgot that my mom bought chocolate milk so I drank juice instead and felt sick after.
Despite feeling sick, I still went to school. Arrived at 11:00am as usual. This is starting to become a routine. Anyways, I was inside the computer lab relaxing before class at 11:30am. We began the day by talking about The Firebird's Nest and then watched a 14 minute film, about India that has a relationship to the short story. Basically talking about how valuable a new born male child is, and how less values female child has. Later we had a debate about it, whether it's right to only value new born male a lot more than female.
After class, I went inside the computer lab and started reading my two new assigned short stories. I was somewhat wasting time for the first 30 minutes, before actually focusing on task. By 2:10pm I head to my last class of the day.
In Chinese 1215, we first went over dialogue 2 and then later we divided ourselves into a group of four. We were asked to make a dialogue made up of 4-6 lines using the direction commanding words. My group ended up being 3rd in presenting. It was a lot of fun and I have to say, I really enjoyed doing presentations and getting participation marks.
After class, I went home and began to do my essay. Am I really doing my essay? Yes somewhat. I was still somewhat distracted with the NHL games. Though I still worked on my essay, all the way until dinner and after dinner.

College Day 69
Well, the middle of the week is about to be shifted to almost the end of the week! This morning, somehow and I don't remember what woke me up, but it woke me up right dead on 9:00am. Perhaps my body is my own alarm? I don't know but anyways, I immediately got dressed and went downstairs for breakfast. Had noodles today and a glass of grape fruit punch.
I then left the house to go to school. Everything went according to plan. Arrived on the skytrain station at 10:40am, and arrived to school at 10:55am. I then stayed inside the computer lab until 11:20am and then head to my English.
First thing we did was went over The Firebird's Nest. And later we were in groups to discuss about the discussion questions. Luckily that ended the class as she made us research something for homework.
History was the next thing on my schedule. We spend the first half of the class talking about the Hot War, in which the USSR and the Americans threatens to use nuclear warheads against one another. And the other half of the class, we watched a film. Though I didn't really pay attention.
The film finished at 2:20pm and I then went to our Chinese computer lab. We got our quizzes back today. I was disappointed. 35/40 instead of 38/40!! Argg! Fuck my life! Anyways, we spend the rest of the class doing exercise chapter 7 with a partner and was it!
When class is over, I went home to start on my essay! By 7:15pm, I left with my mom to go out with for dinner with some of her friends. I received some more red envelopes!!! Food was alright, but I didn't eat a lot and therefore wasn't full.
After dinner, we to pick up my sister in Vancouver and went home. Now I'm going to finish my homework!! SEE YA!

College Day 68
Will be busy, so I'm not going to really blog much.
School was alright today. English, was another 50 minute class where we had a discussion on The Firebird's Nest. We just wrapped up Death Constant Beyond Love and we're on to the new story. Though, nobody really understood the story well, so she urged us to re-read it again.
Break time, was something else. I was doing something productive, instead of wasting time, I was reading! And head to my Chinese class for the last class to end the day. We had a new instructor, and will be hear for one month before our instructor returns. We did the same old stuff and had presentation. My group was the first to go and then another group after us and that's about it.
When class over, I got home, I finished my readings and began on my English essay until now!! A pretty busy little kid =P

Hockey Pool Week 16 Recap
Finally this week's matchup has come to an end. It has been two weeks since the beginning of this matchup. Since the all-star game was last week, they extended this to two weeks long. I am totally speechless about this week. Everything has gone pretty well, except one serious issue.
In my first pool, I was struggling with an opponent that I somehow had trouble beating, but I don't care. I win 6-5 over him. The guy did not play his players and somehow get more favorable scenarios than me. Pretty bad justice right there. His goalies somehow had a great week against me. Anyways, I beat him and finally record my first win against him. Now, my goal is to have a record of over .500 and take the second seed over the next opponent that I will be facing tomorrow. I just need under 13 more points than him, in order to complete this!
Now in my second pool, I can really smile now. Yes, this is another opponent I had great difficulties against. Though everything changed. I dominated him with a 15-2 win. I've also set a new record for most faceoff wins. Perhaps the biggest accomplishment, since faceoff wins have been my weakest stats and I was able to win over 200 faceoffs, 203 in fact, better than my opponent's 202. Anyways, everything went pretty well. If only Cam Ward didn't let in 2 goals in the 3rd against Atlanta yesterday, this would have been 16-1, in which nobody has yet to reach. Now, I'm playing against the commissioner, watch out for his Tampa Big 3, big threat right there! But I believe in my time.
Recognition: Alvin, thanks for the book that you helped me with! Highly appreciated it! Good luck next week! Please keep winning! Help yourself better and help me :)

Hockey Week 19
Woo! Friday today. That means hockey again! According to the weather report yesterday, it will be raining quite hard today. Though, as I always say, "The Weather Report Is Wrong" do not believe in it 100%. That being said, I woke up at 9:30am only because I have no school. I began the day with some cloths folding and then went to eat breakfast.
After breakfast, I took an one hour break before doing my history readings, which lasted for around two and a half hours. I remember finish reading at 1:59pm. After reading, I decided to stop working and reward myself with free time. I was watching animes while photoshopping random wallpapers. My mom came home at around 3:00pm and started preparing for dinner. My little sister came home at around 3:45pm and we had our Chinese New Year dinner at 4:15pm, but I'm not complaining. After dinner, I went to follow some hockey scores, before going to Kensington to play hockey at 6:00pm.
Today, not many people showed up, for some strange reasons. That means, I had to go in net. Well I had no choice, because we have wasted a lot of time. My team ended up prevailing by a score of 20-13. I wasn't impressed with my performance, but we won, that's the most important thing.
After hockey, we watched a bit of the Canucks-Blackhawks game. Vancouver was leading 1-0 into the second. We witnessed the Blackhawks tying the game. Later, my mom came and I radioed the game while giving a friend of mine a ride home. Just when he is about to get off, the Hawks scored again to lead 2-1. I was getting pretty frustrated and was really urging my mom to get home ASAP! When I got home, I continued to watch the game. Vancouver eventually tied the game on a powerplay by Mikael Samuelsson. I showered just before the third period began. Chicago took a lead when Tanev accidentally knocked the puck with his hand into the net. I was pretty steamed. We didn't capitalize on our scoring chance over there and the Hawks get a luck goal. Though, when Vancouver got a powerplay, captain Henrik Sedin scored to tie the game 3-3. With just four minutes to go, the Sedin scored on the rush with some good passing and Vancouver leads 4-3. Though the game wasn't over yet. Bieksa took a penalty with 2:50 left in the game, giving the Hawks a chance to tie the game. Vancouver's penalty killing was spectacular and Luongo was putting his life on this game too. Vancouver ended up holding the Hawks and win 4-3.
At around 10:10pm, couple of my friends came to play NHL. I played so much better, actually winning almost every game. Though at 1:20am, they left and I came here to blog!

College Day 66
So, the first day of Chinese New Year began today! I was able to get off bed at around 9:00am as I peaked out the gloomy window, filled with rain. I casually dressed and went downstairs to have my first Chinese New Year Breakfast. It was just plain rice and some other food which I don't know how to describe it. In Cantonese it's Fun See.
After breakfast, I packed my bag and grabbed an umbrella and head out to take the bus. I arrived to school dead on 11:00am. By then, my pants were pretty soaked, despite having an umbrella. Since I was early, I stayed inside a computer lab to hang out before class began at 11:30am.
First thing we got was our paragraphs back. I received a disappointing 2.5/5 on it. Mainly because I said there was a theme, but didn't state what the theme was, so it was very hard for her to follow my analysis. We then spend the entire class talking about paragraph writings. We also had a small lesson on possessive apostrophe.
After class, I went inside a computer lab at the library and was relaxing, while texting a friend. I was going to do my readings for history, until I realized that I left my history textbook at home! Ai ya! Ever since I lost my English textbook, everything went wrong in school! Though, a friend has brought a solution to this, at the cost of three dollars. By 2:10pm I went to my Chinese class outside waiting. Unfortunately, there was a class inside and was late to come out so we were late for our lesson.
When our lesson began, we spend the first fifteen minutes talking about Chinese New Year stuff and talking about superstitions during Chinese New Year. We spend the rest of the class studying chapter 7, dialogue 1. Pretty much was it.
After class, I went home. I was able to get home by 4:00pm, which is 15 minutes ahead of time, because I was able to work my time managing magic. I arrived to the bus stop when the 49th bus came. I arrived at the skytrain station when the Canada line arrives and the bus stop once the 410 bus arrives.
I felt lazy, so I didn't bother doing my readings and decided to follow some hockey scores for my hockey pool. That was pretty much what I did until dinner and after dinner. Then I had some food which I have no clue what it is, but it was mandatory! Now I'm here to blog! Tomorrow Vancouver plays the Hawks! Lets beat the living shit out of the FuckCawks tomorrow! GO CANUCKS!!

College Day 65
Well another day has came through. Though to begin the day, I woke up after I couldn't sleep. In fact I had a hard time sleeping last night. But that helped me waking up as I got dressed and head downstairs to eat. By 10:15am I left the house and into the cold! My hand was absolutely freezing.
I arrived to campus by 11:00am and was inside the computer lab for a little while before heading into my English classroom. Our instructor didn't finish marking our paragraphs yet so we didn't get it back. As for my textbook status. None of my classmates has it. It seems like I left it inside the classroom when I left on Monday so it's gone forever! Now I can't even think of a way to get one, now that the book store is out of stock as well. I am fucking doomed! Now what?!
After English, I went to my History lecture hall. We spend first half of the class lecturing on the Cold War and the Korean War and spend the other half of the class watching a film. Though I wasn't paying attention to the film as I just kept sending text messages to friends.
With the end of the history lecture, I went to the computer lab where my Chinese class will be held at. We pretty much only practiced for the quiz on Monday through exercises.
When class is over, I went home and had to mop the floor because Chinese New Year is just tomorrow! I then started doing some readings and then took a shower before heading to my relative's place for dinner. Dinner was okay but could be better. I also received six red envelopes from relatives. Good stuff!
When we went home, I started doing the stuff I missed and then will be going to sleep.

College Day 64
Another day into the week. My throat is feeling better, yet myself isn't for some reason. After waking up at 9:00am, I slowly dressed up and then went to have a bite and then had medicine before I left the house. It was sunny, but was pretty cold and I didn't bring a glove.
Anyways, I wasn't really early today. Arrived to school at 11:10am and went directly to my classroom to wait for our instructor. In English today, our class talked about The Rejection, basically about how hard it is for children in New York to get into proper Nursery Schools, while parents over-thinks the importance.
After English, I had a two hour break so I went to the computer lab, closest to my English classroom and I spend the next two hours doing my Chinese homework and reading my history textbook. Speaking of textbook, I lost my English textbook. I'm assuming that one of my classmates took it by accident, after our discussion yesterday. But I really hope what I assume is right and the person actually has it with him or her.
By 2:15pm, I went to my Chinese class to finish the day. All we did was activities that gives us participation marks. Nothing really happened in the class.
When class is over, I went home and started to do my readings. But after a while, I started to get really tired and decided not to continue. Though I still have to do two readings for English. FML!

In English today, our class talked about The Rejection, basically about how hard it is for children in New York to get into proper Nursery Schools, while parents over-thinks the importance.
After English, I had a two hour break so I went to the computer lab, closest to my English classroom and I spend the next two hours doing my Chinese homework and reading my history textbook. Speaking of textbook, I lost my English textbook. I'm assuming that one of my classmates took it by accident, after our discussion yesterday. But I really hope what I assume is right and the person actually has it with him or her.
By 2:15pm, I went to my Chinese class to finish the day. All we did was activities that gives us participation marks. Nothing really happened in the class.
