I cannot really call it a "Dooms Day" because of the beautiful weather outside which may have enchanted all the things into good deed. I woke up at 9:00am and went on the computer for a while before heading out to eat breakfast. It was just a casual light meal, rice with some meat and vegetable.
After breakfast, I left for school. The stupid bus was late and it caused me to arrive to campus later than usual! I was five minutes late! That being said, I still went into the lab for a little while before heading to my English class.
Our class first started off discussing the discussion questions regarding two short stories and then we talked over it as a class.
After class, I stayed in a lab to do some course planning before Chinese class at 2:30pm. Chinese was pretty darn boring but oh well.
After school, I went home to do more course planning and then went to follow some hockey. Later my family and I went out for dinner. After dinner, we went to a friend's place. I watched the Canucks hockey game. They already clinched the president trophy since the Philadelphia Flyers had lost! To be honest, I'm not a fan of the trophy at all. I want the Stanley Cup, not some meaningless trophy that gets us nowhere.

College Dooms Day 96
What a shitty day today was. I woke up on a rainy morning because my family decided to go to dim sum. The sky pretty much sums up my whole day.
We arrived at 9:30am at Golden Swan Restaurant. I didn't eat a whole lot because I didn't like the food anyways. Anyways, we ate until 10:35am and I got a ride to school. I spend some time in the computer lab before heading into my English class. We basically just talked about The Journey To The Dead and we also got our rewrites back. Still not good enough for me. 8.5/12. Fuck my life!
After English, I was in my History lecture hall. We got our research essay back! My mark was only average, 16.5/25. Fuck I hate this shit. Anyways, we lectured on Ireland and the death of Yasser and in came Shah.
After History, I went to the Chinese Lab for class. We just practiced on our own for dialogue one and then we were partnered up to read it. Later we were paired up again to answer questions written in the board.
After class, I went home and started following some hockey before doing homework. Had dinner at 7:00pm and came back to do more homework before showering and blogging.
Anyways, I'm glad today is over! My hockey pool playoff run is doomed if I don't do something! Oh by the way, all my opponent's players are fucking gay! Fuck them!

College Dooms Day 95
The second day of the week began. My family members along with other friends left for the States earlier today for shopping. I was home alone. So I got up at 9:00am, and went on the computer for a while before making noodles. Going to school was next!
I arrived right at 11:00am because I left the house somewhat late today but that was okay. I hung out at the computer lab for a while before going to class. In English today, we talked about the short story, "A Meeting At Last" and our class session ended up debating why people cheat in a relationship. I didn't say much, but I have to say that if you cheat in a relationship, don't be surprised that one day you will feel what it's like to be cheated! So don't ever think of cheating!!!!!
After English, I went in the computer lab to do some homework. By 2:00pm I went to my Chinese class. We first got our quizzes back. Pretty disappointing mark, 33/40. Oh well. Anyway, we continued on learning some grammar for lesson 3.
After school, I went home and ate something before watching the Canucks. Long boring game until the third period when Vancouver scored three goals to win 3-1. They also clinched the western conference for the first time in franchise history. My parents came home and we went out to eat. The food wasn't bad, but I don't think I had enough =P Oh well.

College Dooms Day 94
So the a new week just began. Only two more weeks of school and in comes the final exam! It was not something that I am looking forward to, but will have to face it no matter what.
I woke up at 9:10am today, because I didn't want to leave my cozy room. Well, it's not really that cozy because I opened the window and left it on for the whole night, making it cool. I got dressed, packed my stuff and went downstairs to eat breakfast. I had rice with tomato sauce and some vegetables.
After breakfast, I left the house early to get to school. I did so and arrived at 10:46am. I spend some time in the lab reading Vancouver Canucks forum. By 11:25am, I was in my English class. For the whole class, we basically worked in group discussing the same short story that we might want to do for the final exam.
After English, I attended History. Our lecture today focused on American's help towards Israel in the middle east. We also talked about the Lebanese Civil War which took us the whole class.
In Chinese class today, we learned lesson 3. Which was about time and order of actions in chronological order. Not many people showed up that was why we didn't do much.
After school, I went home and ate something before doing my research essay! Since then that was the only thing I did!

Hockey Pool Week 23 Recap
Well, it's the end of the round one for both of my hockey pool playoffs. I had one team getting a bye that's why only one team were in action for the whole week.
In the Canucks4thecup league, my first round opponent was the 5th seed team and also the team I had success against all year long. It was a tough battle for me, especially earlier part of the week. My opponent had a huge lead as big as 12-1, which it slowly vanquished as I started fighting back. From a 12-1 lead, I was able to cut it back to 8-6 on Wednesday after a major win by my team's backbone, the San Jose Sharks. Witnessing Patrick Marleau scoring two goals on the Sharks' first game. So day after day, his lead has been slowly decreasing.
San Jose played back to back games. The second game was really epic! Patrick Marleau was once the hero again, notching two goals including one to save myself from a loss! However the Sharks fell short in the shootout. That day saw the real turning point of this week, when I forged ahead by a score of 10-7. What was really special about that day was that my opponent had literally all of his players playing, while I only have about half the team dressed, yet I still managed to get more points than him.
10-7 would continue to be the lead for me, until the end of yesterday where I used my last two moves to pick up two goaltenders to steal some categories for packing my lead bigger! I had the result I wanted. As both of my goalies did exceptionally well. Cory Schneider was great today! So I ended up prevailing by a score of 11-5.
Starting tomorrow, both of my teams will be in action!! In the NHL league, I'll be playing against a guy I had quite a bit of problem with. In the Canucksx4thecup league, I'll be playing against the guy I had quite a bit of success with. That being said, both opponents will be very tough, especially when both opponent has Henrik Lundqvist, Pekka Rinne, Alexander Ovechkin, Andrew Ladd, Brent Burns and Alex Burrows.
Lots of mutual players against me! Will my players be able to outperform theirs? Or will my playoff campaign be stopped. We will find out, hope God is on my side for this.

Hockey Week 26
On a gloomy Friday morning, I woke up quite easily. In fact, I don't even know why I can never sleep well until Friday morning. So therefore trying to force myself to sleep is rather difficult so I decided to begin my day. I did my daily routine and went downstairs to eat rice. Typical Chinese breakfast for a Chinese family.
After breakfast, I went back to my computer and relaxed for a while before heading out to Kensington Community Center to play some hockey for fun. I also was practicing my slapshot which really has improved. So later some people came we played a game. I had to be a goalie because there is only one goalie. After a horrible start, we had new teams and my team scored the game winning goal.
After hockey, I bussed to MacDonalds to get a meal and walked to another friend's house. I ate while watching drama with him. Later, we started watching the Vancouver Canucks game. It was somewhat entertaining. No score in the first period. We then went to play some NHL 11 before the second period. We did watch a bit of the second period, including witnessing Mason Raymond's first goal to put the Canucks up 1-0.
At 5:45pm, we left for hockey! During hockey, we wasted 45 minutes for having no second goalie. I then decided that I better get in. Even though I was very unwilling to do so. My team won by a score of 14-12. And later, I went home to shower while couple of my friends started playing NHL 11. I joined them after and played as a goalie. It was fun.
After they all left, I started blogging and now will be sleeping!

College Death Day 93
Apparently, it's Thursday today so that means I will have a three day weekend after today. I got out of bed at around 9:00am and did my daily routine before eating breakfast. So after breakfast, I put on my Vancouver Canuck Jersey and went to school.
I arrived at 10:55am and went to the computer lab to kill some time before heading to my English class. In English today, we first talked about the stupid strike that was going on around and later we were working in groups and had to come up with a couple of questions and share it to the class where we eventually will have a class discussion.
After English, I went to the computer lab to study my Chinese quiz. I was multitasking so I couldn't really concentrate on studying. However I did review yesterday so it made my review a lot easier.
By 2:00pm, I went to my Chinese classroom only to be studying along with several other people. Our teacher arrived five minutes late and we began the quiz right away. I messed up a bit, but should be okay. Prediction: 34/40.
After school, I went home, only to find myself watching hockey when I'm suppose to do my homework. Anyways I continued watching hockey until dinner and after dinner! So after a whole day of hockey since coming home, I took a shower and started blogging now!

College Death Day 92
Everybody's life should be beautiful on a sunny Wednesday right? Well, that's not true. I've had bad days despite beautiful days outside. I woke up at 8:45am today because we were scheduled to attend Dim Sum with relatives at 9:30am.
So I got dressed, brushed my teeth, packed up and left the house with my family. We arrived at the restaurant at around 9:45am and started ordering food. I didn't eat a whole lot. Only had some rice, shrimp dumpling, and some ducks feet. Anyways, at 11:00am my mom gave me a ride to school.
I didn't go to the lab today, considering how it's pointless to do when I have 15 minutes to kill until class time. So I just waited. In English 1127, we discussed the story, "A Death of a Son" and "A Meeting at Last." Nothing much else we did after.
After English, I went straight to attend History. There, we continued on with the problem in the Middle East. This time, our lecture focused more on Egypt, and leader Nasser. We also watched a film in the second hour based on what was happening when the Jews were invading other countries in the Middle East.
After History, I was in the Chinese lab. We spend some time with our partner working on the "adding 'le' " exercise. Later we were just on our own to study for the quiz tomorrow all the way until class ends.
So when class was over, I went home and continued to do my research essay! Ate dinner later and blogged. Time to study!

College Death Day 90
The first day of the week is just coming to an end. So far, everything is bad. Whether is school or fantasy sport, nothing is going right at the moment.
So I woke up a bit later because I was still tired. I got dressed up and went to finish my rice from last night. When I finished eating, I packed up and went to school. As usual I arrived at the same time. So after, I went to the computer lab to kill some time before heading in to my English 1127 class.
In class today, it was another study period where we first spend fifteen minutes talking about the strike that everybody was talking about. Later we were on our own to do our research essay!
After English, I went straight to my History lecture hall. Our history lecture today began a new topic. We're now focusing in the Middle East and how the Jewish had no place for themselves. So practically, after World War Two the establish of the Jewish state, Israel occurred. That being said, it caused a lot of problems in the Middle East as many Arabs opposed it greatly and even made attempts to destroy Israel but failed.
When history was done, I went to my Chinese class. We first got our quiz back. I'm not sure what I predicted, but I believe it was 28/40? Well, I got 28.5/40. This is the worse mark I've ever got! This is a total disgrace. I should just kill myself. Anyways we spend the rest of the class looking at sentence structures and definitions. Later we spend the rest of the class deciding for our oral exam decision. For now, my group decided to do presentation, despite my partner which is a friend is reluctant to do it.
So I went home and began reading short stories for English. Speaking of English, we're getting our in-class essays back. I'm totally fucked for this! Prediction 4/15. So after I began doing research for my English essay!
This week will really become pure black! I'm doomed!

Hockey Pool Week 22
Okay, today officially marked the end of the regular season for both of my yahoo fantasy pool. That means starting tomorrow, the real thing begins. That will be the playoffs! It's going to be a rough ride. Luck will play a major role with determining the winners for playoffs!
In my first pool, I finished the last week of the season with a 7-5 victory over the last place team. That will put me in second as I clinched my division, resulting in a second round birth automatically, along with my commissioner and captain's team. My initial goal was to get 4th place heading in the playoffs. But getting second is just as good! At least I'm guaranteed to finish in the last 4.
Now in my second pool, I finished the last week of the season with a 10-4 victory over the last place team. Before this week's matchup, I had the desire to topple my division, since I'm only 12 and 13 points back and given the fact I have been dominating, it seemed quite possible. However, this week saw the injury of my key faceoff men Manny Malhotra, who was struck in the eye by a puck on Thursday's win over Colorado and all-star Dany Heatley's two game suspension which eventually finished him off for this week. However, it's a good sign that Nicklas Backstrom returned to the lineup. Since then, I've been slowly weakened. Hopefully this won't happen starting tomorrow and the rest of the way! I will need everybody to win! Anyways, this win helped me finish 4th in the standings, my most desired position heading in the playoffs, beside being 2nd. Now I play the guy I had great success against during the season. That being said, I will not underestimate him. His team is nevertheless good! While my team just slightly got weakened! May the better team win! I hope God is on my side!

Hockey Week 25
Count the days now, it's almost the end of the week! Friday is known as the best weekday since most people begin to slack off. I was one of the many people based on what I did. This morning I had to do house chores, as usual. So after I finished, I ate only a little bit of Spaghetti. Later I was just surfing around the internet until 12:30pm when I headed out to meet up with a friend at the bus stop.
We went to a Chinese cafe to eat. The noodles were good, especially the soup base! I would recommend it. After we ate, we walked to Future Shop because a friend of mine had to return something. We still stayed behind to look at stuff like PS3 games and cellphones.
When we left Future Shop, we took the Canada Line back to Langara station and immediately got on the 49 bus and walked to his house after we got off. All we did was play NHL! I somehow managed to score a glitch goal. Apparently the puck went through the post? Anyways it was fun!
By 5:40pm, we left the house and picked up another friend to go play hockey. We arrived early so we went to watch Sportscentre for a few minutes before entering the gym. So we had our warm-ups as usual. I finally retrieved my slapshot skill back! That being said, now it's time to develop it!! Also it motivates me that I took slapshots now from the other end! But it proved to be ineffective! My team still however won by a score of 14-10 despite missing our top forwards.
After hockey, a couple of friends and I stayed behind for about 10 minutes to watch the Canucks game. After I left, my mom took me to Angels Cafe. I didn't eat much because I never felt like eating anyway.
After we ate, we went home and I immediately turned on the TV to watch the game. By then, Burrows was given a really poorly called boarding penalty. That was when I witnessed Phoenix scoring 2 powerplay goals. Vancouver eventually ended up losing 3-1. Many other Vancouver Canucks fanatics and I were pretty pissed off about it.
So I went to shower later and then began to blog.

So I went to shower later and then began to blog.

College Death Day 89
So, its Thursday today. Last day of school for the week as usual! I woke up at like around 9:00am just to find myself being on the computer for twenty minutes before getting dressed up and had breakfast. Pizza for breakfast, isn't that special for a typical Chinese boy =P
After breakfast, I wore my Vancouver Canucks jersey and left for school. I arrived at 10:55am and went to the computer lab. At 11:30am, I went to my English class. We pretty much did nothing but showed her our research topic. After we did so, we could leave and that was exactly what I did.
I first went to the computer lab to return a book, then I went straight to the computer lab to study for my Chinese quiz. By 2:05pm I went to my Chinese class and waited for the instructor to come. When she did come, we had our quiz. The quiz was somewhat hard. Prediction: 28/40. After the quiz, we were to just do our homework that needs to be handed in on Tuesday.
After school, I took the 49th bus with a friend, as I would be going to a friend's house to chill. However, the plan changed. I got a ride from that friend, where I met two girls. My friend drove to sell his stuff on craigslist and then later we went to Parker's Place to eat at the food court.
Later, I was driven home and I ate something before following some hockey games. Later I had dinner where I mostly ate fish and chicken. Anyways, after dinner, I watched the Sharks-Wild game and it was a thriller! Sharks win! That means Niemi wins! :)

College Dooms Day 87-88
Because day 87 was such a busy day, I didn't do anything else beside working on my research essay until day 88.
This morning I had trouble waking up because I slept at 2:00am during midnight. When I woke up, everything I did was pretty slow due to myself being half-awake. I got dressed, ate breakfast and left the house 10:00am.
Arrived at school by 10:50am and was in the computer lab until 11:30am where I attended English. All we did was look at how to cite works from others and then we were in groups discussing our research topic.
After English, I was in my history lecture hall. We spend first half of the class lecturing our Mao Zedong's revolution and communist china. Later, we spend the other half of the class watching a film.
My last class was of the day was Mandarin. We were in the lab reading dialogue 1 for chapter 2. We then were paired up in partners to read.
After school, I went home and began studying for my Chinese and had dinner early. After dinner I studied until the Canucks game.
All I have to say is, NORTHWEST DIVISION CHAMPIONS! Good job boys!

Hockey Pool Week 21 Recap
Well, it's the end of the second last week of hockey pool regular season. That means, after next week the playoff would begin! Boy am I excited. Or am I?
Well first things first, playoff is drawing near so I'll briefly talk about what happened this week.
In the NHL League, I played the top team for this week. I've had my struggles with him but he also had his struggles with me. What really held me back this week was the goalie situation. It seems as if I can't buy a goalie win this week, despite having lots of starts opportunity. The point spread was close as well, but thanks to guys like Mike Ribiero and Phil Kessel I was able to maintain a lead. So at the end of the week, I tied again 6-6. This is the first time I've had two straight ties and with the same score. Now I take the second seed spot with a 6 point lead. That means I need to make sure I don't allow the guy to have 6 more points than me!
Now in the Canucks4thecup, it was a rough ride for most part of the week. Probably I had was the goalie again! I can't seem to buy a goalie win at all and I've had my points struggle with my opponent, especially in the assist category. My players put up a lot of goals but nobody really assist goals to other players around them. I lead 8-5, 9-5 most of the times. Until the final day, I finished with a 12-2 victory. Now I remember that I could have won 12-1 instead, if Holtby didn't give up that late goal to Chicago. Because at the end of the day, my SV% was just 0.01 below against my opponent. If the goal wasn't scored, I would have a higher SV% since his goalie gave up 4 goals and was pulled in the second period. Anyways, nevertheless this is a convincing victory. Now I moved up to my desired 4th place in the standings. Now I just need 1 more week of good hockey to get a shot at moving to 3rd place!
Recognition: Alvin, this week has been fun! Good luck! Hopefully we both will make the finals!

Hockey Week 24
On a Friday morning. It seems as if I can't wake up late despite that I was given the opportunity to do so. I woke up only because I want to start on my history research paper. However I had to do house chores and eat breakfast so that was what I did.
By 10:00am, I began researching my sources. I swear, I suck at doing research because most of the times I couldn't find anything at all. Maybe one or two, but many other ones I think are considered to be insufficient. Now I think my history course is doomed to death! Fuck my life! Anyways, I continued doing my essay until a friend came to my house to play NHL 11.
My Vancouver friend came just a bit later and we played together. It was really fun and good practice despite suffering loss. After NHL, we left the house at 5:25pm for hockey. My friend dropped my Vancouver friend back to his house where he would drive another friend there.
I arrived at hockey at 5:50pm and waited for other people to finish before we got warmed up. Soon more people came and began to sort out teams. Our team once again were divided into two teams which I strongly despised. My team finished with a 1-3-1 record because we couldn't muscle up any offense, despite scoring a couple of goals.
After hockey, I went home to eat dinner and then blogged and now I'm going to continue with my essay!

College Darks Day 83
Days keep getting worse as time flies by. Today was definitely bad. It seems like everyday is bad for me. I can't find a good reason to enjoy my surroundings. Anyways, I decided to wake up later today because I didn't want to leave my cozy bed that early. So I woke up at 9:00am instead of 8:30am.
I was early to get dressed and went downstairs to eat. Even though I had time to eat, I still rushed through it. After I ate, I was relaxing in my room until 10:00am and then left for school.
Bus came 3 minutes late, but the skytrain came early. Because of these two scenarios, I was able to get to school by 10:55am. I went with a friend to the computer lab to hang out before class at 11:30am.
In English today, we continued to look at the compared and contrasted essay for tomorrow. That being said, we also took the time to talk a little bit about the short story "Cellphone."
After class, I went to the computer lab and began doing work. I first quickly finished reading "Cellphone" and then went to work on my English in-class essay draft. I had such a hard time writing my thesis out, because both stories are similar but uses different things to emphasis it.
Anyways after break, I was in my Chinese class, which obviously was the last class of the day. Our class spend most the time doing translation practices. In the beginning of class, we were just on our own because the computer was broken and the teacher had to waste time finding somebody there to fix it!
When school was over, I went home and started massively trying so hard to get my body paragraph going. Still having a tough time to do so. Even now at this hour!! Fuck my life!!!

College Dark Day 82
Another week which I am not looking forward to. Reason? Well, I have an in-class essay on Wednesday and a research essay due next Wednesday! However the show must go on!
This morning, I managed to wake up at 8:30am only to find myself slacking off until 9:00am before going to eat! I was enjoying my food while listening to music to begin the beautiful Monday morning. What I mean beautiful is the sun, not my life!
At 10:00am, I left the house for school. Both the bus and skytrain came right away when I was just arrived at the stop. Because of this, I was able to set a new record. I arrived 15 minutes ahead of schedule!! Good for me!
As usual, I hung out at the computer lab with a friend until 11:25am before heading to English. Our class continued looking at compared and contrasted essays. We also briefly compared and contrast some of the aspects in the short stories of "The Ultimate Safari and "Warm Dogs". Later, we were in groups to work on our outline!
After English, I went straight to my History lecture hall. Our lesson today focused on China itself with Chiang Kai Shek, Sun Yat Sen and Mao Zedong. I know I'm supposed to be enthusiastic about learning the country which I was born from. That being said, I was somewhat falling asleep, despite the fact that her lecture was good.
So when history was over, I went straight to my Chinese class. We first got our midterms back. I believe I predicted 60/70. Well, another disappointing mark. 54.5/70. Primarily, the fill in the blanks and the correction parts combined to taint my prediction. I lost a combination of 10.5 marks right there. Anyway, we spent the class going over the exam, had a look on the vocabulary and the dialogue for the new textbook, lesson 2.
After the end of the class, I went home and began to work on my English in-class essay draft. I didn't stop and actually spend most of the time doing it. Before and after dinner!!!
I wonder what's going on tomorrow. Death maybe???

Hockey Pool Week 20 Recap
Wow, I can't believe that the season is almost over. Another week completed! Each week just gets more intense! Anyways, here is what I have to say about my week 20 hockey pool matchup for both of my teams.
First of all, in the NHL League. I played an opponent whose team consist of 4 Vancouver Canuck players. So, cheering against those players was rather difficult because I wanted the Canucks to do well. Earlier part of week, I was dominating. I had a huge lead as big as 9-0. Sadly this lead vanquished as I witnessed Lubomir Visnovsky completing a 5 point night against the Dallas Stars. That day also saw me forgetting to play 3 players which all had an assist. So 3 points lost for this week. Which resulted in a 6-6 tie because of it. At least I regained second place by a slight margin. Maybe I should really work my lines for the whole week, beforehand. However, as being a very superstitious person, that won't bring any good luck!
Now, in the Canucks4thecup League, I had a very dominant week! In the first two days, my opponent was leading. However, since Islanders Zenon Konopka took a 15 minute penalty, my team started doing really well. Players were really scoring, but however I don't have enough assist and powerplay points. Game-winning goals was a fair struggle. He took the lead in that category 3 times before I storm back with 2 in the last day to topple him. I also picked up Vancouver Canuck backup goaltender, Cory Schneider to win the game-start category. I predicted Vancouver winning in Anaheim through my superstitious theory. That is what happened today. Vancouver won 3-0 and Schneider got me a shutout! However, I did win 15-2. But it was still not good enough, because two other teams smoked their opponents by a score of 15-1. That brings my deficient slightly higher. That being said, there is still two weeks to go! All I have to do is make sure my team wins big and not worry about the others until I have completed my part!
Starting tomorrow, I'm playing against the best team in the league for the NHL League and a below average opponent who defeated the best team in the Canucks4thecup league. Team Captain's team will be one tough matchup! That being said, believe in your players, they will do well! Against Team Big Mac will be another test for me. I don't care if I beat him the past two times, things can change!

Hockey Week 23
Life is only bad during school days. Since it's a Friday today, I have no class, which means I am not doomed or anything like that. As usual, I woke up very darn early since I couldn't sleep. If only I could wake up so early on weekdays I'd be satisfied.
Anyways, when I got off bed, I went downstairs immediately and began vacuuming the house and mopping the floor, before getting dressed and eating breakfast. I later continued doing my English homework. By 12:00pm, my friend and I decided to meet up at Richmond Center to look for olympics gear and my team Canada jersey. It was rather disappointing, because we went to Richmond Center and Metrotown and I left both malls empty handed.
We went back to my friend's place to kill some time before going to hockey. We did play a couple of NHL 11 games before another friend showed up and we head to hockey. Hockey was alright though. My team won by a score of 12-11, which involved a second half comeback, after trailing by a dozen. Sometimes I really hate it when I get bad luck. Today was a perfect example, my friend accidentally shot the ball at my fingers and it bounced in to our own net. Tough luck there! Oh well.
After hockey, my mom and I went to the gas station to refuel the car and then we went to eat. By 9:00pm, I got home and began to do some homework before blogging!

College Dooms Day 81
Don't mind the title of this post that much anymore. I myself thought it was suppose to be doomed, but really nothing bad as happened until later during the night. Well, I woke up early today because I couldn't sleep. In fact, I had trouble sleeping all night.
When I woke up, I just did my regular stuff before heading to school in my jersey. It was pretty cold outside, but I didn't bring my coat so I was somewhat freezing. That's okay, the cold is nothing when I have my jersey on.
I arrived to school at 10:55am. As usual, I was in the computer lab killing time before heading into my English class. Half the class was gone for some reason, so we didn't do anything except start planning out our essay.
After class, I went to the student union building and waited in line to grab a free burger and a drink. Pretty good stuff! I then killed time at a nearby computer lab. By 2:10pm I was already in my Chinese class. What we did today in class was learn words that are related to animals, such as dogs, cats and birds. We were also taught how to ask someone about an experience they had.
After school, I went home to find myself slacking off pretty badly when I was suppose to be working. I'm always like this for some reason, I get distracted pretty easily. Even after dinner I wasn't doing what I was suppose to be doing. Oh well! Fuck my life!

College Dooms Day 80
Three days in, since day one when I first journeyed through the gloomy cave. I was expecting bad things to happen, it failed to be seen once again! So what is going on, they want to find a way to surprise me with something depressing? Well if that's the case, I'd always be depressed!
Well, of course when I'm still alive, I'd be doing stuff that normal people usually do. Waking up, slacking off and then went to eat breakfast before heading to school. The 410 bus and skytrain arrived on time. Good riddance!
I arrived to school at 10:55am. So does this mean this time is going to be my scheduled arrival time? We will have to see. I then went to the computer lab to kill some time before heading into my English class.
We began the class by continuing to talk about comparative essays and all the short stories that we have covered so far. Later during the class we divided ourselves in groups with people that are doing the same short story.
When English was over, I went straight to the History lecture hall. We first got our annotated bibliography back. I received a 6/10. Her comment was that my thesis was quite good, but I don't have enough sources. FML! So after that, we had a lecture on the reunification of East and West Germany and also the fall of the soviet empire that the Tsarist built. So after the first hour, she showed us a film. However, she also said that we were allowed to leave if we don't want to stay. That's what I did. I then began reviewing for my mandarin oral. There is really nothing to review but I just used that as an excuse to not stay for the film.
Our oral midterm took so long for it to happen. We first got the reading passage, read it to ourselves and then we were paired up with a partner to discuss what the passage was about and then we had the oral exam. I didn't panic one bit but the last question was hard. Anyways, I don't even know what the oral is out of, so I can't make a prediction.
So when the exam was over, I went home and started doing my research essay. I did nothing else but just that! Even after dinner!
Well, of course when I'm still alive, I'd be doing stuff that normal people usually do. Waking up, slacking off and then went to eat breakfast before heading to school. The 410 bus and skytrain arrived on time. Good riddance!

College Dooms Day 79
As I continued to travel under the dark cave, I'm surprised that bad stuff hasn't really happened yet. That being said, it will come and I have no idea when it will be. I prefer to know early rather than later.
After waking up at 8:30am because of my stuffy nose. What causes stuffy nose is always the stupid heater! Whenever the heater turns on, I get a stuffy nose! This is why I prefer to sleep in the cold rather than in the heat. It makes sleeping more comfortable for me. I spend around fifteen minutes fooling around before getting dressed and eat breakfast. Typical Chinese style, I had rice with vegetables and meat.
So when the clock struck 10:00am, I left the house for school. I was able to get there five minutes early of my regular arrival time. That being said, I was in the computer lab studying for midterm until it was 11:20am before heading into my English class.
Since our short story was about the Nigerian Biafran War, we had a small lecture about it. We also talked about England's colonization of the west. I didn't mind as I paid attention to every word she spoke. We finished the class with discussion on the theme of the story.
After class, a couple of classmates and I went to our instructor's office to get our in-class essay. I got mines back and it seems like I have messed up again, with the first page comment telling me that my thesis can be more clear. I flipped to the back of the page and saw a 10.5/15. I don't believe it, my essay was practically complete crap but I'll take it!
I then went to a nearby computer lab to study for my Chinese midterm. I wasn't really "studying" but just looked things over and over again. By 2:00pm I had to leave and went to my Chinese classroom. Our instructor was a few minutes late before we began our exam. The exam wasn't hard at all. I still screwed up here and there. Prediction: 60/70.
When class was over, I went home and started reading stuff. That was really it! Until the Canucks game started, I was practically reading the whole time. So after I finished my other stuff and when the game was over, I showered and blogged!
Tomorrow I'm totally doomed due to the fact, I'm getting back my annotated bibliography. Prediction: 3/10. Only because I don't have enough sources! Fuck my life!!2
