Upcoming... INCEPTION!

CME first, Inception second :D

So I'm up again on the third floor with Nick doing some awesome homework so I can hopefully pass my finals in two weeks so that I don't lost my scholarship funding! That would really suck. If you are thinking of going to Stanford, be really careful your first year. I was so used to always taking the hard classes at my old school b/c they were pretty easy since it was a public school. I should've realized that the hard classes here are Stanford hard. Even worse for me, they're engineering. I jumped from AP Calc AB to CME 100. Not smart. I missed a ton of fundamentals that I needed for the class. Luckily tutoring is awesome on campus. The tutors are usually grad students specific to the subject. My CME tutor is Mavis, who is a first year grad student in the CME department. She's really awesome! CS 106X is also killing me slowly. In super slow bites. I thought X would be cool, and it is, but people are really intense in the class. I feel so intimidated by all the intensity in the class, but it also makes me work harder and push myself more.

But after I finish all my studying today I'm going off to see Inception at Flicks!!!! YEAH! So at Stanford, we have this program called Flicks that basically plays movies that have just come off the silver screen, but aren't out on DVD. It's FREE and its AWESOME! So this should make the end of the Thanksgiving break awesome! Woot woot!!!!!!! :D

And on the sixth day there was more work!

CME and haircuts, oh my!

Yeah, so today was a pretty awesome productive day! yeah! Instead of going to the football game with the band, which I only regret a little, I finished a CME (computational math for engineers) P-set, which had been bugging me for a while. You just gotta love surface integrals! MMMMMM!!! Nothing like taking a surface integral over some f(x,y,z) or even better f(r,theta,phi). Yummy times ahead definetely for CME!

But then the most exciting thing happened today. I knew I needed a haircut and was going to go to the Stanford Hair Styling, but then I learned that it was a whole $20 for a haircut there. A WHOLE $20!!! I'm not made of money! So instead I finished the haircut that I started on two days ago and cut all of my hair down to my short length with only these pair of scissors and this comb an. Truth be told, I did mess up on the bangs, but it looks mostly OK! Overall consensus for myself, not a bad decision. Now I'm sporting a semi-OK haircut and still have my $20. Yay!!!!!!

And on the third day there was...

PANIC

So today as the third of work has led for me to go crazy! Crazy enough to sing! XD But this is consuming my afternoon slowly in greedy bites! CME vs Katy Perry. Sadly, those surface integrals have nothing on Katy Perry! Nothing!!!

First day of break...

So I'm not going to lie... but it is kinda lonely still being on campus during the break. True there are a lot of things to do and a lot of work to do, but it's weird not seeing people in classes or seeing a ton of people crawling around campus. I do admit it is nice to get work done, and actually have time to do things like start a blog about my normal life here at Stanford University. So I guess today I chilled out to some sweet music and did my laundry, always a good thing. Maybe later today I'll go to Palo Alto. We'll see. We'll see :D

In the words of one last past...

See the Future... Power the Future! 

These words I live my life to now. They are the motto of what drives my soul to do more. Mmmmm.... This reminds me. I have a ton of homework. CME 100 is a really hard class, I must admit. Triple integrals, line integrals, surface integrals. I've never even dreamed that classes could be this diffulcult. I must admit, coming from such a low income background, a low income high school, to Stanford is a jump, a change so immense that it causes me to tremble, but only a bit. Just a little itty bit. :D
