Up @ 3AM, Catching up on some schoolwork, So what do I do?

Man these classes are pretty fast-paced. One of my I E courses already has a test this Friday (This is only the 3rd week of classes) And I have two more exams next week. I just started going to these classes last Friday since I changed my entire schedule on the last day of regular add/drop last Wednesday.

I'm currently working on some Probability HW, then I gotta do some work for Engineering Economics, Engineering Mechanics: Statics, and read up on some Physiology. At least I have a Web Design class, all I gotta do is write up a research-essay (more like a bio) on a famous person from one of my origins, either based on culture, geography, beliefs, or anything related to that. Probably gonna write one up about Will Smith.


So I'm currently hooked on Sara Bareilles' "Gravity". In my opinion, I think this is one of the most amazing songs I have ever heard. Her voice blends so perfectly with her piano playing. You can just feel her emotion spilling out of her as she is singing. This song is completely different than the majority of the songs on her album. But she really did save the best for last (It's the last track on her album, Little Voice). Everyone who reads this should give the song a listen if you love piano music. This song was actually put onto the 2004 Best of College Acapella album when Sara was in an acapella group at UCLA. So, just letting you know that yes, it's THAT good. I hope she comes to play in State College sometime in the upcoming year or next year. I would really love to attend one of her show. But I don't think there's too many small venues (or any) here that is catered to her type of music.

I still have so much stuff to do for classes in these upcoming 2 weeks. At least there's the Will Ferrell Comedy show on Feb 11th to look forward to, can't wait for that. But I think I'm starting to finally get my shit together.


It's going to be raining and snowing here in Happy Valley for most of the rest of this week and next week. Snow used to be something I looked forward to back in Philly, but here, it's like snowing every other day.

Alright, back to doing some work.

I'm also thinking about trying to write a screenplay. Just to see if I can do it and have people judge it and see if it would even be any good.

Here we go.

So I've just midway switched my major. I started out as an Electrical Engineering major. Then I became a Math-Actuarial Science major for a semester. And now I'm trying to switch into Industrial Engineering. I'm not exactly sure what to expect from my I E courses. But tomorrow will be the first day for me in these classes (even though it will be the 9th day of classes). I'm a junior in college and I'm still not 100% sure on what I want to do. But i think Industrial Engineering will be a good choice for me.

I recently saw Cloverfield last week. I felt that the movie was a bit overhyped. But if you actually followed with the viral marketing campaign, you probably enjoyed the movie more because you knew some of the background relating to the story. For those of you who are planning on watching it again or for the first time. There is a scene to keep in mind. At the end of the movie, during the Ferris Wheel scene, keep an eye out for something in the background on the right side of the screen. Also, there's an audio clip at the end of the credits.

It's so freaking cold here in Happy Valley.
