But autumn quarter

Friday was fun. worked in the lab and went to the end of the year dinner with my lab then went to Capitol Hill with friends.

Things got a bit out of hand later that night because of our drunkness but everything's fine now.

Finished my grad school application essay on Saturday and packed up on Saturday night. my friend drove me back to his home on Sunday.
Now I'm back to my friends home and staying here for a week with his family.
The view is gorgeous here
and it's snowing a little today.
I'm really enjoying my time off from work and school right now.
feels awesome!

here are some photos so far!

 photo on our way to Omak. isn't the view breathtaking?

my friend and me.

some panorama of Omak. it's a small town.

then my friend brought me and his friends with their kid to a nearby lake called Greenlake

it's frozen. but you can still see the water at the bottom.

pretty huh?? :D

and i have finally started working on my photos and video from freak night. so stay tuned.

Friday

Thursday I did some lab work

Then Friday it's a busy day for me.

Stayed in the lab for the whole afternoon.

Now I'm having dinner with my lab.

Our end of the year dinner.

I was the last one to arrive. Just casually sipping my wine at the end of the table and observing everyone

Love it.

Getting a bit tipsy. 

And I'm going out to party after the dinner with my friends

I'm so ready to get drunk and have fun!!

This quarter was hard! I need to unwind.

Wednesday

Tuesday was productive.

Got mail, turned in my lab notebook, sold my CSE142 textbook for $65 (bought it on amazon for 80 something), went to the bank and had a $25 fee refunded and also got a new debit card cuz my old one is falling apart, then got a haircut.

Oh and I also did my laundry.

Had my first and last final exam on Wednesday. I went ok. Did not finish all the questions but had most if them done.

Then hung out with my friend.

Went shopping and had din din.

Still have a bit of work to do before I start my winter break. But I'm going to take my time off a little bit.

More Cyriak videos!!

have been studying hard

well not like really hard but yeh
it's finals week on Monday
and i only have one final exam on Wed
and a few paper due this week

went to bar on Friday night and just had a few drinks but got really drunk.
i missed alcohol so much! and i had so much fun!

i think i'm in a good position now.
i can take my time working on my capstone project report. it's a draft so yeh

oh and i just found this video

directed by Cyriak one of my favorite video director!

my GRE scores are out

verbal i got a worse result. 152 which is a 53% percentile. i got 154 last time.
math i got a better result. 167 which is a 95%. i got 162 last time.
writing i got a better result. 3.5 which is a 35% percentile. i got 3.0 last time.

i'm doing well.
my acid reflux has been greatly improved since yesterday which is awesome.
still having sore throat and coughing. it's taking forever for me to recover from that.

school works are going well.
a final project is due this week and me and my group are almost done with that.
just have a few more papers to really worry about and most are not due until next week.
and they're not really hard.
i don't even want to worry about my CSE final next Wed. it's easy. I'll just do my best do not want to spend extra time on studying for it.

last week of school facing pretty bad depression/anxiety(?) right now

so my Thanksgiving wasn't so great.
i got sick the second night and threw up twice and had diarrhea
my friend and his family took very good care of me.
(i even got my friend sick and he threw up as well)
i didn't really eat anything for i think two days. cuz i was really afraid that i might throw up again.
but i've started eating again on Sunday. but I'm still feeling weak and stomach still isn't recovered yet.

i am back two years ago when i always felt like throwing up.
i know for sure that's it's my acid reflux so i'm taking my proton pump inhibitor every morning right now
and hopefully i'll recover sometime this week.

and today i just feel awful all the time.
i don't really know why but i just keep thinking very negatively on everything.
like EVERYTHING.
how i am less attractive or desirable than most people, how many work i have to do and i don't think i can do them well... etc.
it's weird how when i'm weak physically makes me feel so anxious and depressed.

but yeh. i really have to go through this week or the stupidest week ever because there's no point of having class right now. it's finals next week and my instructors have basically covered all of the materials.
