no updates.

No updates. I must get to bed by 11pm. I love sleep too much. I have so much work, but not really. But I feel semi-anxious in every class. The classes are so small! I never know when the professors are going to "Ms.Kim" it. Of course, Avi-Yonah will never. He doesn't know a single person in our tiny little class and for some reason thinks classes are supposed to last for about half an hour. He lets us out early every single day.

I have a presentation on Friday. I need to make a powerpoint. I forgot how to make one. I need to search my files in order to find a good template.

Also, I turned in my study abroad application. I am semi nervous around my professor who said he'd be my adviser. Interaction with study advisers are so awkward. My undergraduate thesis adviser was the former dean of Stern undergraduate college. That relationship was also semi awkward.

I plan to wake up early to eat a croissant tomorrow.

Wish my life was more interesting. Until then, ciao.

crazy tired.

Crazy tired to write anything of substance. Just checking in with my huge readership! I am so tired. I hate Mondays. I also hate crappy weather where the air pressure changes. I get crazy migraines. I just napped and I think I need to nap some more or just go to bed. Toodles!

brad < / 3 angelina?

Celebrity gossip in news portals seem to say that Brad and Angelina are finished. I shouldn't wish ill anyone's marriage...especially one that involves children...but their case is different for me. I find the news strangely satisfying...and want to say "I told you so." Ugh, so bad of me. Their relationship always left a distaste in my mouth. It hasn't been verified. Might be a rumor to sell magazines. This was a rather stupid entry. Apologies. I can't sleep.

1040! taxes!

I filed my taxes today! For the first time, I did not file a NYS tax return. I filed a Michigan return. The return asked me how much I spent on heating. I guess the state realizes that it is very cold. They wanted to give me a credit...but I made too little money for the credit to matter.

My effective tax rate for 2009 is 0% both federally and for Michigan state. How pathetic. I want to be taxed at 35%! I want to be rich! Hahah. That is what bugs me about those ultra-conservative young people who are too poor to have standing to argue about high tax rates. The government is definitely not taxing them at higher than a 7% rate...(or 15%). Argue about the tax rates when it affects you! You're not "ambitious enough" to justify complaining about your hypothetical future high tax rates when the government isn't even asking for a dime at the moment.

I have been a good citizen filing her taxes for the past four years. I have paid very little taxes. I have actually received part of the federal surplus when Bush gave out dough back when he was President. :) That was a bad idea on Bush's part but it was nice.

I believe in taxation. If only I was rich enough so the federal government didn't feel that they owed me...rather than I owed them. Be sure to remind me of my belief in taxation when I have an income that the government will tax.

helpless without my cellphone

Today, I had lunch plans with Tina and Keil. I went to pick Tina up from Dr. Kim's (Gene) place. When I arrived, I searched my bag for my cellphone to call her that I was outside. To my dismay, I had left home without my cellphone. If it was any regular old Ann Arbor apartment structure, it would not have been a problem. If it was Tina's place, no problem at all. I know exactly where she lives...I could honk...and I have the keys to her apartment.

However, Dr. Kim lives in this apartment complex where there are many buildings, each with many units. I was in the middle of the parking lot, surrounded by multiple buildings that were identical. I had visited his place once in the summer but for the life of me could not remember which apartment building was his. My own place was about ten minutes away. I debated whether to go back home for the cellphone or wait...or guess as to which apartment building structure it was and ring the bell. I saw some people walking my way and I debated whether to ask if I could borrow their cellphone to call my Mom...who could then call my sister...who could then call Tina. I only knew my mom's phone number. I thought I knew my sister's number but at that moment, I blanked. I was too shy to ask someone randomly to use their cellphone.

I stepped out of the car and tried to remember where Gene's apartment was. As I approached one building, I saw that on the front door near the doorbell, some apartment units had the last names of the inhabitants...but most of them did not. I was so torn as to whether or not I should gamble and ring the bell. As I grew more frustrated, out came Tina!

She had assumed that I was there but probably without the cellphone. Anyway...point of the story is, I am absolutely helpless without my cellphone. I have very few phone numbers memorized. Even if I had the numbers memorized, without the actual cellphone, life just becomes that more inconvenient. That is all for today. Writing everyday is so hard!

P.S. Never hype to your friends about a restaurant. I had built up Jolly Pumpkin way too much and they failed to deliver the same quality they delivered when I went there with Sally and Ben last week. Fail.

curry

I don't have much to say today. I made a lot of curry today. I will probably be eating curry for the next several days.

I may go abroad next semester!

Not 100% sure since I have to do the application -- but it is very likely that I will be studying at Waseda Law School in Tokyo, Japan this coming fall! Fall 2010 :)

Hopefully I can go. Even if I can't go...I don't think I'll be as disappointed. I realized there are so many classes I want to take in law school. I want to take so many different kinds of classes.

The funny thing is...the grass looks greener on the other side all the time. I like the idea of classes but actually taking them isn't that great. Oh woes.

If I go to Tokyo, I will send you a postcard. Leave me an address. Heehee <3
