I'm cured

So as some of you may know, I have this problem of sleeping really late and waking up really late.. and sometimes missing lots of classes because of it.  Or rather, I had this problem because it seems I can sleep by midnight or 1AM now... and get up before 8AM everyday.  I'm rather surprised by it myself to be honest.  I woke up this morning the moment my 7:50 alarm rang, and managed to make it to my chemistry quiz at 9.  Last semester, I missed maybe 4-5 quizzes because they were at 9AM (that's about 1/2 of my semester's total quizzes?). 

Haha, and to think, just over winter break, I would be going to sleep at 7AM, and waking up at 7PM.  Thank goodness I fixed this in time for school; I really need to get better grades this semester so I gotta go to class. 

And okay, I don't know if I have a problem with this or not, but I used to eat a lot..or what I thought was a lot.  But now it seems I'm eating much less too.... I have much less of an apetite now, it's so weird.  But I guess that's not that bad of a thing, maybe I won't put on another 10 pounds like I did last semester (luckily, I lost that over winter break though lol).  Yay, no freshman 15 for me (..hopefully). 

My days are hectic though.. to try and get everything done and go to all the things I need to go to.  So many late night meetings after a day packed full of classes.. and then homework after that.  Although I've been skipping out on some homework (not that that's much different from last semester) to try and get to bed early to keep up my waking up for class streak going. 

Running out of time for pen spinning though; I have a couple of things I still have to film for and some Vault business to take care of (can't tell you what that is though =P), but it seems I'm finding a difficult time putting those things into my schedule.

Well, weekend's almost here, and hopefully I'll get some UPSB related things done then.  Oh, and I'm going to the aquarium on saturday! So excitedd, I wanna see sharks, and jellyfish, and big fishies.  I'll probably post up a couple of pictures here of that.  =]

Lost half of it

Well I lost my vic mod with signo/hgg tips... well, rather, half of it.  As some of you may know, it's 2 supertip bodies connected with a bic stic body, but I lost half of it.  And it's upsetting cause I can't really replace it right now since the signo/hgg tip I used was the PDS kind (used in Air MS's) and I have no more airfit grips.  Sooo...back to G-spec'd Waterfall.  Feels light, but still good.  =]

*tries to spread with waterfall*
*hits face*
....Fail.

Okay, this might take a bit of time to get used to again.

Spread Reverses? Or no?

I believe it was Goldstars that mentioned doing a spread after a bak in the shoutbox one day, and then I realized that spreads really aren't done clockwise (right hand)...so I gave it a shot.  My notation is terrible, so I'm not sure if spread reverse is the correct name for this (not that spread is even official?), but it's all I can come up with lol.  


Also, I wanted to give posting vids on this blog a shot, and so hopefully there'll be more vids like this to come.  Although filming vids is a bigg pain for me right now.  My usual set up is gone cause I'm at college.  Whenever I film, it records in .mov or .avi; both formats that my windows movie maker doesn't feel like being able to edit.... And I hate having to always ask someone to cut it for me.  And sometimes the vid I film with my camera comes out to be a ridiculous size (1min ~ 100mb)...so that's annoying to send to other people.  


But anyway, here's the short clip I filmed.  Enjoy!


First Day Back
















11:09 o'clock... Dad walks into my room and tells me to Get up! Get up! 11:30AM, I'm out the door and on my way to the bus stop in Chinatown.  Once I got there, I said my good byes to my dad, and then went into the waiting room of the bus station and started watching TV and utilizing the free wifi that they had there.  I was pretty early.  12:40, time to get on the bus.  I looked around the bus for some empty seats, and being the lazy kid that I am, I took the first pair of unoccupied seats that I saw..when I then realized that the woman sitting in front of me had her seat pushed all the way back.  It was really cramped and I couldn't take put my laptop on my lap so I put it on the seat next to me, until some guy came and asked to sit next to me.  I said it was fine... I fell asleep, and next thing I knew, I'm in Boston. 

6:30PM, I dropped my ridiculous luggage off at my room, and clicked the 4th floor button on the elevator to go to my friend's room to chill and then grab some dinner.  After I got back, I did nothing in my friend's room til like 10:30PM, when we decided to go out to Applebee's and get dinner...again.

When the bus came, it was pretty empty, but after everyone on the stop that I was waiting at got on... we probably filled half the bus.  Then as we stopped by another stop, a billion more people got on.  It just filled up in an instant, but more people continued to push their way in.    Then this one blonde girl decided that it'd be a good idea to just sorta lean/sit on me, and as my hands were still by the seat to hold my umbrella, the back of my hands eventually ended up touching something that I didn't really want it to touch.  Not on purpose at all, I didn't mean to or want to..the bus just became too packed and I couldn't move, and she moved on me.  On purpose or not, I can't say for sure, but it ended up happening and I just looked at my friend next to me and he looked back at me.  Her friend decided to sit on the inside of my other leg.... they both turned around and apologized and introduced themselves and asked for my name and my friend's name.  I told them John, he told them Carmel.  They were like, nice to meet you John and Jeremy..... I can't remember one of their names, but the other was Lauren or something -- both sophomores.  Then she apologized again and said... "sorry if i'm backwards straddling you."  But I'm pretty sure this was all an accident and it was cause the bus got so full so they were just pushed onto me by the other 50 people behind them, but even so... interesting first day.

After Applebee's, I went back with my friends to one guy's room and we just hung out there til like 4AM, when then I finally decided to go back to my room and fell asleep.  I didn't even uppack yet.  Ugh...

Going back to BC and UPSB

After a month of being at home doing absolutely nothing, it's finally time to go back to college.  My first semester grades were not so great unfortunately (couple C's and B's, and only one A in Chinese), but now I'm ready to go back and really study harder/fix my bad sleeping habits/get more As!  I'll blame my bad grades on the first semester being an adjusting period haha.  But at the same time, I'm kinda reluctant to go back to Boston, since I've just been pampered and relaxing at home for a month.  Oh well, I gotta do it, lots of money is being put into me going there.

On other news, I've been working on power tricks lately using vicgotgame1's mod v.1 with signo/hgg tips instead of airfit tips.  I got some negative feedback on this, as well as some positive; negative- i'm losing my old style//positive- i'm trying something new out.  But although I'm learning some power tricks now, that doesn't mean I'm going to turn 150% thai style.  I'm using a longer/heavier mod to learn more busts, fl TAs, spreads, etc... but those tricks are just going to be put into my old style.  My old style needs more tricks, and I'm just using this to add to my trick list.  SOOO, if you think I'm going towards the path most noobs go on with learning power tricks and trying to become the next peem -- don't.  I'm not gonna be doing that.

And lots of oldies are coming back?  strat, Asian Tim, Tim, AoD, and anyone else I missed.  Dunno what to say about that, but that just caught my attention recently. 

Oh, and after actually reading some of zuolin's posts in Spammer's Bin, I'm starting to see the idiot in him that everyone else sees.. Although I don't really care if he's gone or not cause he's keeping himself in SB...but I gotta admit, this kid is pretty dumb. 

WC10 has started, and after looking at the lineups, I'm kinda disappointed in the spinners for some of the communities.  PSH sticks out to me with the most disappointing line up, and JEB has a disappointing lineup in that it's not the regular "JEB stars" spinning, but their lineup actually isn't too bad.  And I'm hoping TWPS gets far, they have a lot of nice spinners that I like to watch...and I think quite a few other people have their eyes on them too.  I'm pretty sure Zombo does. 

It's 4:30 in the morning... I really need to learn to go to sleep earlier, like before the sun rises.  Hope I fix this before the first day of classes on Tuesday.  I should probably head to bed now.......zzzzzzzzz.

Chapter 1

First blog post!

Okay, so I made this blog after being inspired by Eriror's Stash of Videos where he puts up all his new videos onto his blog, and Tek's News Show that he has just recently started.  This is going to be somewhat of a mix of the two...in a way.  I'll be putting up whatever new videos I film here, and perhaps the collab if that video was used in it.  But at the same time, I might get the urge to rant about something. It could be good or bad, about my life or UPSB, or I dunno, anything else.  Those rants'll go here too.. and I guess updates on what's going on UPSB too.  If Tek misses something or doesn't go into enough detail or I disagree with his opinion on something, I might go on that and talk about that here.  But I haven't really figured all that out yet; I'll make use of this blog whenever I can and I hope you guys keep up with it.
