My second day of classes:

Spanish 1A is jam packed full of people. Not only is the room tiny and cramped, but we have to use these terrible half-desk chairs unlike the nice, roomy math desks. Many people wanted to add ("It's not going to happen," the teach said to lots of people coming in). There weren't enough seats, so some people sat on the floor or leaned against the wall. The first class was too full of sylabus crap-it overwhelmed me. I'm starting to think that Math is always the easiest class to keep track of. All you need to do is COMPLETE the work CORRECTLY.

Music 95 is located in this nice music room that is quite spacious. The class was good and uneventful. All we did was watch these jazz videos and listen to the boring teacher's monotonous voice drone. The droning was really the only bad part.

I also found out today that I have been mispronouncing Yurai's* name (our teacher asked for clarification on the matter). I guess that for the entire fall semester, Mr. Mellaaa* announced her name incorrectly every time roll was taken. She should have told him about it.

Today was the first day of class at the oh-so-grubby SJCC. In my math class, there are at least five students who were in my classes last semester (small school, I guess). This is a good and bad thing. I'll start with the good. Sitting to my left is Yurai*, a classmate from Calculus I. I didn't talk to Yurai at all last semester, but we struck up a few short (and quiet) coversations during class. Yurai is a nice person! We talked about our grades from last semester, and I found that this is Yurai's first year in college since graduating from Pioneer High school. Yurai wished me luck on my drivers test that will be happening today.

I forgot to mention that my teacher still remembers Big Brother from one class he took 4 years back or so.

Now it's time for the bad, bad news. The annoying girl from my former chemistry 15 class is in my Calc II class. She is one of those obnoxious-act-all-smart students; oh the humanity! And this class is twice as small as our old class together.

Oh, the humanity! *Screams*


*As always, names are dramatically changed and distorted beyond comprehension. Sort of.

SATs went surprisingly well.
Toby* talked about the cross on Saturday. It was very provoking and morose, yet effective and true.

I watched the Raiders get wholly owned by the Bucks.

The part I found the most interesting about the Super Bowl was its live half time show featuring Shaina Twain. From my uneducated perspective, her perfomance was rotten to the innermost CORE. I had seen the Shaina Twain CD, Up!, on the Eye's top 10 selling CD list, but even then I didn't place very high expectations toward her performance. Things first started to look awry when the musicians, or should I say actors (the instruments seemed prerecorded, as far as I can tell), appeared on the stage. My eyes were bombarded with men boogie-ing in gay apparel. Not the “happy” gay, mind you. Shaina was dressed in this odd, sparkling Halloween costume-what a nut job! This one gagnly asian guy especially annoyed me. He was dressed in these tight leather pants, and the asian dude(a disgrace to the nations) falsely played the electric violin on the first song, then proceeded to gently toss it into the admiring crowd during the second song. He didn't even chuck the darn thing-he tossed it.

Nut jobs.

Big Brother said that

Big Brother: this stuff is so sarcastically odd.

I suppose that means he found this blog to be humorous. Now if I only knew what "sarcastic" meant. Do you know what else Big Brother said?

Big Brother: what's with the ultra fobbish boa photo.

I went on to educate him on the real "fobs" of the world. I don't think he completely agreed with my creative interpretation.

I have the SAT tomorrow. "It's in God's hands," and Glam* would put it.

"It's time for me to step out on the water
It's time for me to just lose my hold
And it's time for me to leave here, all that I've hoped for
Would you take me where I need to go."
-A wise SAT taker.

Now that Big Brother has gone back to school, his web-journal should be back up. I honestly don't want to make any cheezy endorsments, but since it's Big Brother's last semester at Cal you might want to check out the journal. It may prepare you for certain aspects of college life. http://jonsworld.newtomorrow.org What will he say when people from orchestra start digging around his site. Oh well! He should be happy with the exposure I'm giving him.

I think that it was about 2 weeks ago that Almaden cell combined with the Fremont cell. We had a great time playing this weird character guessing game that was kindly introduced to us by Fremont. Following that, we played some intense "Honey, I love you" rounds. I thought that we had an especially cool time. Speaking of cells, at our last meeting we had the unexpected pleasure of a bunch of the Cupertino guys and Leedoh* Zoing** who drove down to South San Jose to join us.

I went snowboarding on Saturday; I did my first "trick." After facing my fear of snow jumps (ask me about my traumatic, gut jarring, near death spill of 2002), I swooped off a mound thingy and landed with a wheely! Far out, huh! Big Brother has snowboard pictures, so maybe you can bug him about that stuff.

I have the SAT a week from Saturday. Uh oh. I stuck a cool picture of BoA at the top of this page; doesn't it look cool? If you look closely at her shirt, it appears that someone added those orange stipes!

Dear faithful reader,
Due to The Life of Clooney's immense popularity, this blog website will be temporarily shut down. Seriously. We're not joking.

Just kidding, we were joking.

The new year church meeting was an insightful, awsome experiance for me. God's presence was accompanied by a wonderful worship set as well as a extremely applicable message produced from the mouth of Leedoh* Zoing**. Leedoh* basically recapitulated the Lord's prayer and how we should use it in our own prayer life. Talk to Leedoh* about it if you haven't allready heard the message.
