It's so gorgeous outside...and i'm just sitting here at the library, sipping my coffee.. trying to do the project with my group..while others are sitting around in the park, playing frisbee and just enjoying the sun. This is not fair, huhuhu....
Anyway, these two weeks is gonna be crazy, in fact it's gonna be the craziest two weeks i have ever had. I have 4 presentations to do (Maritz Corporations, Airline simulations, IBM Case, and the TV show), all of which two are this week and another two next week. Two ten pages papers are waiting to be done, a bundle of a marketing plan, also a bunch of other homeworks and assignments. I also have.. I guess about 10 exams coming up. Damn ILP!!. Note: Do not ever take those independent study classes cause you'll never get it done, never!!. You will never set a time to study for it since there's no deadline for the assignment, no date is given of when you have to take the test, etc. You have to basically come up with your own schedule, so it is very flexible that's why you won't take it seriously and next thing you know...boom it's your graduation day next week and you have no choice but to get your stuff together. At least that's what happen to me at the moment, i have to complete a one semester course in a matter of two weeks. I didn't realize i registered for that class in the FALL of 2000. Man, that was like my sophomore year and i haven't even touched the damn books..*deep sigh*..very very deep sigh indeed.
So i don't know how i ever going to finish all these mess in two weeks, but i have to anyway..hmm no..not that i have to..but i want to!! I do whatever it takes to get over these, even that means no sleep, no internet and no social life.

Tau nggak siyy, i was late yet again to class this morning and this is even worse especially since i've tried to be punctual but unfortunately still no result shown yet.
Anyway, so I woke up 10 minutes before 8 o'clock tadi pagi yang mana daripada kelasnya sendiri tuh mulai nya jam 8...telat banget kan?? Padahal, i've set the alarm to wake me up at 7...kenapa juga dia nggak bunyi.?!. I thought that well..maybe I don't have to feel guilty about it since it's not my fault..right?. I mean i have something to blame right? Then i checked the alarm just to see what is wrong with it, and guess what ?. Ternyata alarmnya sih nggak kenapa kenapa, emang guenya aja yang nge-set nya salah, bukannya di set buat jam 7 pagi malah buat jam 7 malem..*D'OH*.. of course the damn thing won't ring till the sun goes down!!! Hmmph, .Jadi, terpaksalah tadi saya sekolah tanpa mandi...*adoh ini kok pake di umumin segala sih*. Biasanya, gue sih mendingan telat aja datengnya daripada nggak mandi..*hihi* but this one is an exception.
Kemaren juga tuh, ada kejadian gara gara kelalaian gue. It went like this, i went to my marketing policy class..i was all cheerful and everything, feeling proud of myself because i got there even before the professor came in. Tapi ternyata oh ternyataa, gue langsung pungip seketika when my classmate asked me if i had done the case. I was like, wtf, what case?! Trus dia bilang kalo hari ini ada British Airways case yang harus di kumpulin. Holly Molly, Not again!!. What is wrong with me sih?..beneran deh gue nggak abis pikir. What kind of syndrom is this?...Am i getting old or something?
Hhh..akhirnya gue bilang aja ke proffessornya kalo casenya itu ketinggalan di rumah, and to my surprise he let me hand it in after class. So i went back home, skimmed through the case and basically just typed anything that came to mind. Abisnya mau gimana lagi..udah nggak sempet gitu?
Anyway, despite all those, I feel relieved that I’m done for my exams this week. Jadi santai dikit deh, tadi bersih bersih aja, laundry, vacuum, and other domestic stuff. Trus pas mau buang koran koran kemaren..something caught my attention. Gue ngeliat iklan orang jual kucing gitu, himalayan kitten yang super lucu banget. Sebenernya sih waktu itu juga udah liat iklannya tapi udah lupa lagi. Trus suddenly gue jadi sayang untuk ngebuang korannya…abis kucingnya yang kayanya ngeliatin gitu sih, mukanya melas melas lucu gitu…minta di gendong. Tapi kalo korannya nggak di buang kan menuh menuhin aja, bikin berantakan. Ya udah akhirnya tadi gue gunting aja foto kucingnya itu…dan dari tadi bentar bentar gue lirik gitu fotonya…abisnya lucu banget and it never fails to make me smile..=). Apa di beli aja yaa kucingnya?..tapi $300??..gimana doong? belum buat ke dokternya, makanannya, mainan2nya lah, litter box nya lah ini lah itu lah, banyak aja kan.
Hmm..
Donation, anyone?
Tuh kan ..tadi telat lagi masuk kelasnya, sebenernya sih i got there like 5 minutes before the class started, but stupid me..i didn't bring the assignment that we need to submit in class, jadi..daripada keilangan points gara gara nggak ngumpulin tugas yang udah gue bikin cape cape, jadilah saya balik lagi ke rumah...walked all the way across campus..trus pas nyampe ke kelas lagi udah telat 15 menit...good thing she let me joined the class, accept my assignment and even give points for attendance, cause she's usually mean...
Anyway, now -another stupidity of the day- i have to re-do the assignment for my other class because apparently i did the one that's due next week instead of this wednesday *sigh*....!!. I guess they call this retard alert, don't they??
It just seems so hard for me to be on time lately. I’ve been late to all of my classes this whole week, and even for my other appointment too.
I can’t get my things organized and I always feel like I’m running out of time *deep sigh*... maybe it’s the result of sleep deprivation…
Anyway..it’s weekend now *WooHoo* and I’m back in St. Louis. Don’t know what to do yet. Hmm, ngapain yaa enaknyah?
Last weekend was supposed to be an eventful weekend that will give a new mark on the school history. But too bad, I guess Uconn was just too much to handle and we couldn't make that big play we've been doing all games. Well, it was still a delightfull year nevertheless and what the team have accomplished this season will hold up well in posterity, thanks for a heck of a great season guys..=)
Anyway, it's one of those gloomy afternoon here in town, all i really wanted is to curl up under my blanket but off course that is unattainable with the big exam coming up tomorrow. This week is going to be hectic that i'm sure i won't even have time to whine and complain about it. Besides, I haven't complained about school that much this semester anyway, most likely cause i'm looking forward to graduate..so..BRING IT ON!!....*pheww* can't believe i'll be out of here soon...one and a half month to go!!.
Since we won the game over Texas Tech last friday, we advanced to the second round and had to face Georgia the bulldogs last sunday. Oh my god, we were on the verge of being embarrased in front of the whole nation for the first 10 minutes of the game, we were 19 points down and georgia was just bullied us around. It seemed like we had no chance to keep up with Georgia. But i guess miracle does happen because all the sudden, boom, we were back in the game, the team's spirit was just kinda picked up and we finally started to get the ball to the hole. JD was unstopable, he kept on rolling.. and Darren Brooks is the next best thing..! And once we took the lead, the fans in the whole united center arena went nuts and the rest of the night was our night, i still can't believe they pulled it through and came as the winner in the end because i think to come from 19 down to win is a statistical improbability, particularly coming from the lower seeded team.
So earlier tonight, the school conducted a pep rally to celebrate the victory and to wish them the best of luck in the next game which will be held this friday in Syracuse, NY and Uconn is gonna be our opponent this time. Everybody were there last night, cheering and enjoying the moment..it was cool and I bet by tomorrow the whole town will be decorated in maroon..and if we can take out Uconn, i'm sure people will go crazy here this weekend. Man, I still can't believe they made it to the sweet 16, that means we are one of the 16 best basketball team in the country..oh I've never been prouder to be a saluki. By the way, have you figured it out what a saluki is??..It's the kind of dog that can bite your ass up!
Sweet 16, oh so sweet..=)
It was too easy.....We outrebounded them. We out hustled them. We simply outplayed and outcoached those guys from Texas. what a wonderful win...ooh i'm too excited to type!!
Mad propz to ma dawg!!!
