Halloween @ UCSD

WordPress wasn’t working for some reason yesterday so it took another day to get this post up. Sorry about that!

Well, my Friend Kevin and I decided to be Optimus Prime from the movie “Transformers” for Halloween. I had a horrifying midterm to get over and done with that same night, but that didn’t stop me from helping pass out some candy to trick or treaters at the Sixth College Residence Halls earlier in the day.

There was a fair amount of mini-Ninja Turtles and bumblebees that showed up at our door, all as adorable as you could imagine.

Classes Resume after “Fire Week”

I feel as if I?ve already gotten used to and waking up in the afternoon, walking through a near empty campus and breathing in flakes of ash.

I woke up today and found a lot more people walking around to and from classrooms and cafeterias. I was a little groggy, not being used to waking up before 10AM and copying entire lectures into my notebook. Basically, I have turned into a lazy bum in the course of a week.

The air quality has been getting much better lately. It?s a bit overcast today but at least I can breathe effortlessly now.

I still have Calculus to get over with at 4PM and I think I?ll get some reviewing done for my rescheduled midterms taking place a couple days from now. It didn?t take that long for me to switch back into this sort of mode or attitude about getting my work done and being fully prepared for whatever test I have coming up.

Halloween is this Wednesday. I went out over the weekend to Toys R Us and got an Optimus Prime mask from the film ?Transformers.? It changes my voice when I wear it and has a few other sound effects that came along with it. I guess I?ll be a robot for Halloween, but it?s sad that I may miss out on whatever?s going on that night because my Calc. midterm is scheduled to take place from 7-9PM.
