A post without any pictures for once, can you imagine? I’m going to start a new section where I basically summarize recent events in my life/what I’ve been up to. Yep, just another narcissistic attempt to document my life.

Lately I’ve…

1. Reformatted the laptop, which caught a virus when I tried to download a math program for a dumb calculus project. At least it was worth it, since there wasn’t even much stuff to back up off the laptop (being old and hopefully an in-between until I can get the HP TouchSmart tx2z). I am much more satisfied with my newly configured (but very old) Dell XP for now, though.
2. Ordered the new 35mm f/1.8 Nikkor prime lens. It was a belated birthday present, and took an amazing amount of work to convince my dad to get it. I even got help from the kid brother on that.
3. Accepted into the 4 UCs I applied to. Now I’m waiting on the last two school, which come out next Tuesday.
4. Been driving! Today was actually only my fourth time driving–I’ve only recently gotten my permit–but I’m having fun trying not to be like all those people who do not understand how to drive smoothly after 20 years of experience! I’m looking at a couple (Asian) parents of a few friends, actually.
5. Been going to Tea Station way too much. We say we’re celebrating admittance, but it’s really just another reason to hang out and not do anything after school.

Apparently, channel 38 suddenly dropped out of broadcasting frequency and my mother was shocked at being unable to continue the current Asian drama being broadcast. She ventured online to Tudou (the Chinese YouTube).

Mom: I can’t get this to work; it keeps stopping.

Me: That’s because you have to wait for it to buffer. See that faint line down there? Leave it alone for a while until its full.

Mom: No, that’s not it. It doesn’t move unless I click play.

The coversation was actually longer, louder, and less polite, but I decided to drop the argument before it turned into a real one. /headesk.

I’m seriously considering submitting this to My Mom is a Fob.
