It's been 10 months since I moved to LA.  Finally got myself settled down, and slowly changing my oregonian identity to be the Californian one, although I've not yet received the California DL from DMV.. it's been slow at processing the documents I bet.  got myself known better to some of the professors in Cal Poly; however the one I like the most decided to go to Australia to do his research on random process. I'm in need of an thesis advisor.... otherwise I won't be able to graduate...international office decides it's too expensive to offer the scholarship from spring term, which forces me to apply only for fall 2007, when I have only 14 credits of class left, thats' like only 3 more normal lecture ones (that's 4 credits each) and one self study or thesis.  But Mr. No No told me if you enroll for thesis, it usually takes 8 credits.. so that leaves me only 6 more to take... headache headache. I'll probably go work with Dr. Krinik on random process, queueing theory with measure based probability theory. that's just for recent changes... now for something big

 

I've been committed to a long term relationship with Ms. Shasha a while back.  yeah she's my GF, officially and unofficialy.  take look at my Gf, she's the only one I got.  it takes time and effort and courage to admit, stay, tolerate and stand tall in some committment I guess; especialy for me, I just don't know why I'm a bit reluctant about committment... /shrug.  She's such cute, naguthy, smart, and sometimes... foxy lil angel. She's been taking good care of me, which's why I weighted now from 208 lbs to 230... yeah that's some headache I wanna avoid. because of my lil liver. it's too fat. I've been having good time staying with her, observing her, trying to learn the way she operates( sounds like some machine or car) as it is known to all, girls are so complicated, so unpredictable, so unreasonable sometimes. however so far I'm having fun, I'm enjoying myself while being with her, I think I'm happy :) don't you agree with me too?

 

and well, I  changed my car again, I got from SI to Audi TT, and then dropped that TT and switched to Mazda (Ford owns Mazda, so Mazda is not strictly a Japanese manufacturer). it was kinda stupid that I chose the TT over SI, SI's fast, fabuluos, pricise, and...at that time, I was thinking like I haven't tried a roadster, so I switched over.  the only problem I had with my TT is that TT is tooooo small, it can only hold two people; despite the room limitation, the TT is a good looking (cute lil thing) sport car, the handling, the AWD system and the vehicle stability  control on it are good :)  and it's got 225 HP, but it's way heavier than SI, the doors of my TT are so thick and so hard to close if you're used to japanese cars. and the clutch on the TT is hard too. so in the end, I chose Mazda.  I can't afford a Mazdaspeed6, with that kinda price (28K+tax and fee) I'd rather pick up a STi or Evo. MPS3 is a better option, since it's cheaper, and still fast, and roomy.  shasha's pretty much against the idea of having a sport car for family use (well I'm not yet married, however, I have to take shasha and Mr. No No out sometimes, and I hate to put Mr. No. No. on top of my TT).  it's some gas eater, it just gets you some speed ticket easier and it's dangerous.  I kinda persuaded her if I will get one in red and the safty features on a MPS3 are  pretty impressive. so I ended up getting this MPS3, so far I like it and I will keep liking it.

 

school's  a big headache.  got my tutor application stuck at one point where you need the copy of the SSN card for the human resource department to verify my status to work legally on campus.  what's worse is that I probably left my original one at home back in China.....and I don't freaking remember where I put it in china.. oh my freaking mamamiya...and again.. this thesis thing... major thing, thesis advisor, are all killing me.. grrr.. trying to transfer to some research university to jump back on the Ph.D track however my GRE sucks.. only got 400 in verbal, 800 in quantitive, and 4.5 for analytic writing and 700 for GRE subject in math.. and I screwed up my last years of GPA staying in U of Oregon and Oregon State U... sigh, guess as a grown up I have to take full responsibility of what I've done so carelessly

 

anyway, so far at least I still love my life, love who I am and what I do will love what I will do later :) with considerate amount of hope.. I guess I will walk out of the mess i dropped on myself a while back... hehe.. :) tomorrow's another day~~~~
