I don't totally suck..

First time out I got an I.. neither admirable nor fun.. but I found out yesterday that my rewrite was an A.. So my head is still officially above water at least until April or May sometime..

About Last Night

Last night was fun..

* I went to a dinner talk about Einstein and Race last night, though our dinner discussion was largely about other things.. Saw a few good friends there..

* Watched some Project Runway, arguably the best reality contest ever made.. Angeleno (raised or trained) Latinos representing strong on that show, though many are falling off..

* I (my team) won at QUIZZO on my first time out..

The past month: Holiday Recap/A year turns

It's been a month since my last post.. So I'll give the both of you who read this updated..

* I finished the opposite of strong.. Once I get my paper rewrite graded I will *hopefully* be able to say I made straight A minuses..

* About that last post about LA not feeling like home.. I take that back -- it TOTALLY felt like home, and it felt good.. I really need to get my act together regarding my time management.. Half the time I was out there I was writing papers instead of seeing family, having fun.. Hopefully this is a lesson learned for good (yeah right)..

* On a side note -- both of my brothers now live on the WestSide (even though one is actually in the Valley, it's still west).. It was AMAZINGLY EASY to get around by public transportation--that may be because they both live close to Major Streets.. but dang.. And guess what Philadelphians -- base fare is, if I'm not mistaken, 75 cents (that could be totally wrong.. it can't be that cheap - but it is definitely under $2 -- I'll check on that).. SEPTA sucks is not an understatement..

* As usual I took the train from LA to SD (and back).. expensive, but in many ways practical.. and very relaxing and enjoyable..

* Hung out with my younger bro (well.. I'm the oldest, so the second one), which I usually don't get a chance to do.. That was really cool..

If I think of more I'll throw it up here, but that's all for now -- hope everyone's 2006 is thinner and more productive than 2005.. at least I hope mine is..
