it's hard to be humble when you want to be better than the brown noser who always sits in the front, raises his hand after EVERY question asked and steals the spotlight from everyone else in the room, and acts overly extroverted.

brown nosers turn me into a bitch. i don't like brown nosers.

i feel so cool typing this entry in my statistics recitation class.

i'm also happy to say that i aced the quiz that i finished about 15 minutes ago. weeee!!!

ultimate win

one of my suitemates just set up his record player with my roommate's 5.1 surround sound system in the common room. oh, and the record store down the street is having a 99 cent vinyl sale.

:)

--edit 5:33 p.m.--

i've noticed something: in most cases, when you ask someone what music they listen to and they say "everything", they're obliviously lying. because when you ask them what artists they listen to, they'll start saying, "oh, uh, kanye, taylor swift, fall out boy, beyonce...yeah, pretty much everything." and if you were to prod them further, they'd probably list similar artists like the fray, maroon 5, lady gaga, jay-z, etc.

i don't have many pet peeves, but this is one of them.

mainstream music is not "everything." i wish people could realize that and stop telling others that they like "everything." sigh.

random thoughts regarding college (plus some random thoughts in general)

-now i understand the necessity of taking naps.

-three-day weekends reign supreme (although one of my suitemates has four days off...but i'm just glad i have an extra day in the first place)

-NYU dining is legit. i could probably live off that, ramen, and mac+cheese for this semester, seeing that i'm quite frugal with my "going out to eat" money.

-on the topic of frugality, i'm still tempted to drop loads of cash at food stands on st. mark's place. yum overload.

-living with a british person is awesome.

-TOTORO.

-i'd like the drinking age to be lowered to 19. i've had beer before, and i've enjoyed it without getting drunk. it'd be nice if i could legally drink responsibly next month. alas, no.

-debit cards are oh-so convenient.

-electronic music synthesis class is intense.

-yes, that last statement was one of my twitter/facebook status updates.

-the r.a. on my floor is really nice. she bakes for everyone on the floor. how thoughtful.

-i miss my bed.

-and peoples back home, of course.

-there are a lot of shortcuts and bugs in mario kart that i never knew....until i went to college.

-tisch students smoke too much.

-to my surprise, i have yet to be ridiculed for my spongebob stuff. in fact, everyone who's seen my spongebob pj's has thrown around the word "awesome" liberally. ALL HAIL THE MAGIC CONCH. (someone tell vincent wu to make a blog so he can see this)

-salsa dancing is cool. now i can finally learn how to dance.

-my music theory teacher is a madman (in a good way). he constantly breaks out random tunes on the piano while he's teaching. it's amazing to see how music is so deeply rooted in his soul. oh, and he compared counterpoint to laser cats. +1.

-i do not enjoy the writing the essay class.

-i've yet to buy a drink from starbucks this semester.

-walking around the city is fun. and tiring.

-statistics class is boring.

-i recently learned how to use a tape recorder. &imma gon' splice some tape this week.

-post-it notes are necessities in life.

-i'm glad my roommate is a hard worker. his work ethic keeps me motivated to not slack.

-sports lol.

-i bought an nyu bobcat bobblehead. i like bobbleheads.

-i need to find a drum set soon. playing on a practice pad is mad boring.

-i bought a pair of skinny jeans that are skinnier than my last pair. it makes the bottom half of my body feel even more warm and snuggly than before.

-no, i'm not an emo.

-i'm really happy that i'm pursuing music technology. it's a very diverse field that i find extremely interesting. &i'd like to minor in music composition. that'd be sweet.

-i <3 nyu.

college

it's goooooooooooood. :)

classes start this coming tuesday. for once, i'm looking forward to school.
