After reading someone's blog, I have the mutual feeling. When we blog, we wrote something about our life. But the trend is, we usually blog about something nice for people to read, something appropriate for people to know. People don't blog something that's really happening. Frankly, the "people" I'm using, included me.

My 2nd attempt of FM, Financial Mathematic become past tense by actual time 11 am but 10.30 am actuarial society time on 8th of November 2006. I knew it's over now, but I kind of anxious about knowing whether I pass or fail. It's not the problem of how many attempts I've tried. It's because, this is our last chance to pass the old format. Starting on next year, they've decided to add more material in it. The material that I don't really understand. Derivative market. Well, I think it's actually the matter of time. I'll master it one day. Haha.

After FM, I actually planned to go crazy but...... since I'm having mgmt120 exam on Friday, I can't really lose control. So, might just have some fun and that's it. Moreover, 2 exams on next week and 1 on the following. It's not the right timing yet.

I'm in Chicago again, for the 4th time already. Should be pretty familiar with the directions here but, once I got out of the Greyhound station, I lost my direction again. Darn it!!! According to the schedule, I should have left Des Moines by 8.30 am and reach Iowa City around 10.30 am. It didn't come out that way because something under the bus broke and the driver had to use duct tape to seal it temporarily. In the end, I was nearly two hours late from the actual schedule. Supposingly to have reach Chicago by 4.20 pm and ended up 7 pm to get my butt off the bus. Called my brother and he said he'll meet me at the Roosevelt station. I was expecting a hug from my lovely brother and I got nothing. Haha.

It's kind of sad for me to end up traveling with Greyhound. Want to know why? I thought I would be coming to Chicago by my newly met friends' car. On the 13th night, I called one of them and they told me that they had cancelled the plan to Chicago due to the freezing weather going to be in Chicago. (Actually it wasn't that bad here, at least it's warmer than Des Moines.) Frankly, I kind of pissed as they should have told me by the time they cancelled. I had to book my ticket at the last minute. Whatever...... at least I'll get the chance to study my FM exam, erm..... for the 2nd time. I failed on the 1st attempt and hopefully, I can pass it for 2nd attempt as they're adding syllabus next year. That suck!!!! Wish me luck, pal!!!

Sigh......planned to sleep earlier but, I forgot my stupid laundry still in the washing machine. Because of that, I'll have to wait for an hour in order to collect my dried clothes. Just leave it there? NO WAY!!! I need my pants for tomorrow morning!!! Tomorrow, after my normal classes, I'll be having my 2nd private violin class. Bad comments from my teacher on my 1st lesson. I have a feeling that tomorrow, he'll be mad at me again as I haven't gotten my score yet. It's part of my mistake. I should have found the address before I make my order. I believed they are sending the scores from somewhere in Europe...... which means, I won't get it so soon. Argghhhh.......

Lost......

It's been another big interval since my last blogging. Getting lazier to update my blog. Did I use the wrong comparative adjective? Lazier? Hmm...... Seriously, I can feel that this semester, if I don't manage my time properly, I'm going to screw my results. All my Monday to thursday have been filled with activities, classes and work. 7 in the morning, have to wake up and prepare to go to work. 5 minutes walk from my room. There will be a half an hour or an hour break between my work and class time. Monday and Wednesday will be half an hour when Tuesday and Thursday will be an hour. All my classes end at 3.15 pm. By the time, I'll be dead tired and feel like doing nothing. Haha. BUT!!!!! Tuesday, I'll have to rush over to the Fine Art Center for orchestra. Wednesday, Fine Art Center again but it's for my private violin class. What a busy semester. Haha. Wait a minute, it's not done yet. I work at the library reference counter every Monday and Wednesday from 8pm to 11pm. Friday, orchestra again from 3.30 to 5.30. Kind of enjoying my life though it's busy. We're playing Dvorak's From the New World, a Mozart violin concerto, and erm, I couldn't remember the title and was lazy to find out what is it.

Suddenly, feel like talking about something totally irrelevant with the 1st paragraph. Haha. Before school starts, I went to my first baseball game in the States. Iowa Cubs VS err.... forgot. haha. Here's some pictures of it. We weren't lucky enough to get the homerun ball. Sigh...... it was flying towards our direction and flew over our building. Darn it......














Again, Irrelevant topic just popped up and couldn't help. Sorry for making you guys lost in my blog. Hehe. But, please forgive me. I am bad in organizing stuff. I'm taking STAT 132 this semester. We're using a textbook written by our advisor, Eric's dearest Prof. Klugman, who has a son named David Klugman studying in Drake as well. Haha. Ooops...... The title of the book named Loss Models. After going few classes, my friend changed the name to LosT Models. It's quite true when you can see everybody's expression during the class. Of course, I'm one of them.

Oh, yesterday, I went to the rush for business fraternity, Alpha Kappa Psi. We went to a small town for mini-golfing. Everybody was playing properly for the 1st few holes. After they knew they couldn't really enter the ball with par, creativity took place. Whatever ways you can think of, you would find it there. Bowl it, pool style, basketball style, soccer, etc. Finally, we reached the 18th hole, the hole was set on the top of a small hump. The ritual master, put a ten bucks note on the hump, whoever makes the hole in one, the ten bucks is his or hers. Few minutes later, somebody doubles up to twenty. Another few minutes later, an additional one buck was added. So, the jackpot was 21 bucks in total. There were so many people trying to get the 21 bucks. I tried a couple of times. In the end, someone named Adam if I'm not wrong won the jackpot. It was fun though I didn't win the jackpot. Haha.

Alrighty, give me some comments if you want to. Please feel free to point out grammatical errors. I would love to accept your correction(s, maybe) .
