life is short

my great uncle passed today. or yesterday since its 2am now. i didn't really know him, but i still feel really sad. we always went out to lunch with him at tian tian yu gan (somewhere by hostetter?), or i think its called like grand palace? regardless, that restaurant will always remind me of him. the past year, i could see that it was time for him to go soon- he couldn't drive anymore, his movements were slower, and then the last time i saw him, he could barely keep his eyes open during lunch.

i should be studying for my physics final, but all i can really think about is how my jiu ma is doing and my daddy. i think its the first family related death for my dad. actually no, but probably the first close relative of my dads to pass away. it must suck knowing that someone who kinda helped raise you is gone forever. i can never get my family story straight, but i think my great uncle took care of my dad when he first came to US. even if it were just for a couple of days.

rip great uncle
you had a long fulfilling life. im sure you were a smart engineer, a good brother to nainai, and a cool uncle to daddy. sorry i was too young to really get to know you.

on a happier (kinda) note, two more days of this crappy summer session. wouldn't have sucked that much if my professor could actually teach properly. thank you for confusing me and making me waste so much time listening to you when you didn't even make sense.
tmw will be a long day of learning everything there is to our renal, endocrine, reproductive and digestive system. YAY.

summer

im supposed to be at OH but my professor did not show up.. OR i wasn't going to the right room (and can't find him anywhere in this building!). either way, i just wasted two hours of sleep.

my summer has turned out to be more busy than i had imagined. i thought taking two classes per session would still give me a buttload of time to chill. instead, im in class from about 9-4 monday-thursday, then work right after class from aboutt 5-9. i may be making money and learning lots, but im freakin TIRED.

davis weather is deathly. waking up because im sweaty at 7am is not my ideal way of getting out of bed. its definitely gotten cooler the past two days, but i believe it'll be hot again this weekend! lovely. next time, i need to seriously check the weather of the location of the next school i shall be attending. i forgot to include that when deciding between uc's.

i want a netbook! they're so cute and small. haha. i know jon will lecture me about how having a mac and a netbook is useless. blah blah blahhhhh. i still want one, but i know i'll be wasting money, and/or wasting time using my netbook in class and not learning. lame.

time to try to find my professor again. hopefully he's somewhere in this building..
