Our Backpacking Trips

okay so this is my last qtr EVER at cow cal poly. i should be enjoying it and not hating it. every morning going to school is like pulling teeth. i wake up just in time to make it to class. with enough buffer time for me to drag my feet as i walk from the parking lot to the classroom. it shouldnt be like this!!! this is my last qtr, i should be enjoying it. taking a last sniff of my 8 – minus 3- year college education here. after all, i am taking all GE classes. before this qtr started, i thought it was gonna be a piece of cake. taking all these mickey mouse classes… but i have absolutely NO INTEREST at all in these subjects, so my attention span is nonexistent. time slows to a crawl in class and i’m pretty much miserable. i dont care about dance, i dont care about california geography, and i dont care about oceanography. dont get me wrong, i love marine life and whatever goes on in the oceans… but THAT IS NOT WHAT WE ARE LEARNING IN OCEANOGRAPHY!! we’re learning about plate tectonics and continental drift and some other bs that i totally dont give a shit about. i thought these classes were gonna be FUN. but everything being taught is so basic that they cant get into all the fun and interesting stuff yet. its all “foundation” information… information that bores me to tears.

enough complaining though. i think i will start paying attention in class and leave my starcraft cd at home. i might as well enjoy learning about all this stuff i will never ever use once i walk out the door in june BUT i should make the best of it. after all… it is my last qtr.

i found you a girlfriend. *wink*

oh.. and please keep both hands on the keyboard.

“…everywhere like such as.” – is not a complete sentence.

side note: the “asian countries” dont need your help hon.

LOLz

well… i paid a visit to the pomona animal shelter after class today. there were SO MANY homeless dogs, cats, and one goat. the dogs are so unhappy, seeing them depressed makes me depressed. i wish i can take ALL OF THEM home with me. at least i wasnt the only person looking to adopt, there were other families too. i think a yellow lab was successfully adopted today… good for him!!! i took some pictures with my camera phone… because i couldnt help it. as miserable as the dogs look…. they’re still adorable as heck! when they see me, their eyes light up and their tails wag, and i’m just going around saying “hai” to everyone.

this little guy is like 4 weeks old

i really really really liked this guy. he’s about the size of kala and bailey. he’s not a “toy”. he’s got really messy hair and he’s really in need of a home.

MUGEN!!! a 5 month old rottweiler. he reminds me of my mugen

*sigh*

how silly of that little dog. he SAT ON TOP OF ANOTHER DOG for the longest time.

when i still had mugen… i could tell he’s a happy one. kala and bailey are happy ones. you can tell by the look in their eyes. but these dogs…. these homeless dogs… *sigh* they’re so sad.

Last week I was at gym at night. I was exercising by myself, peacefully; then a buff guy came to me, I could tell he is a gym trainer and was coming to me, I was like shit, don’t come! don’t come! then he was there and started talking. “Oh you did this wrong, you did that wrong, why don’t you come have a seat with me let me help you with a plan.. blah blah..” I was like fuck! I am the guy hardly to say no, so we set up an appointment. Of course I ditched that appointment later on, now it’s freaking hard for me to go back to that gym. I don’t want to see his face again, so awkward. That’s why I didn’t want him to walk to me at first place.

He did helped me though. Now I am all trying to avoid him, so I don’t go to gym at night anymore, I am all getting up 5 in the morning to go to morning session, when nobody is there but old people. But guess what, today I was there, there was this old man came to me “young man, you don’t need assist when doing pull ups? let me show you how to do this, i mean i am 70 year old i can do pull ups with out assist” fuck! can people just leave me alone in the gym? how embarrassing, I wish i have a small gym in my garage now.

i made an impulse buy yesterday. i mean normally this wouldnt have been an impulsive buy if i wasnt borke i had a job but i seriously couldnt pass up this deal. i bought my very own backpacking tent! even though our crew doesnt lack on the tents or anything but i’ve been wanting my very own dome forever. so this is what i got: the north face tephra 22

its 4 lbs and 11 oz. thats pretty light!! its for 2 ppl and i’m loving the 2 pole design. on top of everything its free standing. i got it off of steepandcheap - one deal at a time, until it sells out. i got it for $75 bucks… plus $10 for shipping because SAC never offers free shipping. which is still a pretty good deal in my opinion. now i have my very own tent!!

i still havent found the footprint for this tent yet. the model i purchased is 2007′s model, from information that i’ve gathered on other websites i’ve learned that the new footprint (2008 model) for the tephra doesnt fit the old model (2007′s, my model) due to a redesign. i cant find the 2007 tephra footprint anywhere!!! augh. so this is a problem… HALP!

it looks like there is a HUGE waiting list for Killer/Emo. i called the pasadena shelter and the lady told me the “waiting list” for #A228663 (his id number) is full and she is not taking down any more names. i am so disappointed =(

tomorrow after class i plan on stopping by the pomona shelter. i googled it and its only 2 miles away from school. so i’ll swing by and see if have any potential candidates.

(damn it, still can’t load picture. I think something wrong with my Windows PC? I was able to load pix on my Safari)

Anywy, I think there is a slight chance I might stay here in LA… Sharon can’t decide. She want to open so bad, but like everyone is against her, so she doesn’t have the fund to open? Anyway, still not sure.. but if I really going to stay, we’re going to have a blast of summer fun. Right now I am already thinking of Apr 25th weekend Death Valley, May 23rd weekend Zion Narrows, and San Jacinto Peak over night trip again in between, then Aug 7 HCSC yay~ let’s do this. I am going to update my iCal when I get back home and sync it to this calender here.

One last thing since you guys like to use strike that much, let me just try one.
