Winter Quarter 2011

I was kinda reluctant to begin this new quarter ... a three weeks holiday was really not enough. That's why I'm so thankful to be able to visit LA and Las Vegas during the christmas holiday. At least we did something fun and memorable on the-really-short year end holiday. Anyway, so here I am, back at school.

This quarter I take three classes: Accounting 1B, Peachtree Accounting and English Writing 1A. All of the classes are interesting, but i worry for the english writing 1A. The instructor seems so fake to me. She's kind on the outside but i do really think she's just pretending to be kind. Well, hope I'm wrong... Anyway, no matter how hard I try, this time there'll be no A+ for the english class. The teacher said so in our class' first meeting. I am really hoping for an A ... but we'll see. Three out of class papers and one in class essay seems difficult, not to mention a numbers of journal to be made.

The peachtree class on the contrary is so laid back. On our first meeting, we gathered for just 20 mins in which the instructor explained her greensheet syllabus. After that, we're free to go. She even said since the textbook in the bookstore is much more expensive than the one in amazon, we could take our time and order the textbook online. We might not be able to hold our class anyway for the first two weeks of the quarter since the computers in the lab is not ready yet! Anyway she said we could start working from home and only come to class if we have question for her. To my surprise, she really meant all that. Yesterday on the second meeting, the class lasted only for 5 mins. She just asked if we have a question for her and explained once more that the lab's computer wasn't ready yet. After that, we were promptly dismissed.

The Accounting class is the only one that's not bad although I get a professor who give lecture in rhythm as if she is singing. She's really kind and I can see that she's trying all her best to make us understand and comfortable with her class. She is also appreciative. I heard that from all the accounting class i am about to take, the accounting 1B is the hardest one. So i guess it's a good thing i get her as my instructor.

Instead of two days a week, now I'm in school for four days a week. In a way, it's kinda tiring because I have to wake up early every morning and I don't have a "preparation" day anymore. Yet, it feels nice to come home early =)

So ... I guess I have to put on the hard work mode again ... hope this quarter's results will be as satisfying as the fall quarter's.

TB Test Result

When I woke up in the morning last Thursday, the first thing I did was checked my hand. To my utmost horror ... It had became that big! Gosh ... the final result from the nurse was positive with 14 mm bump. So whether I want it or not, I need to go and get a chest X-ray =( PS : Btw, have I told you that this bump will stay for months? =( Oh, and it is starting to itch too ... =( UPDATES: The bump disappeared after a month or so. There is no scar whatsoever on my hand. I heard that a lot of people who were born in Asia usually get a positive result. It is because they had TB Vaccination while they were little. Anyway, I did get my chest X-ray. There is nothing to worry, everything is good =)

TB Test update

This is what it looks like after 36 hours : I really hope it could stay like this until tomorrow because I think this means I'm negative. *crossing my finger*

TB Test

One of the things that I hate the most in life is shot / injection. I think, I have a phobia for needle =P This phobia started a long time ago, back in my early childhood. I got typhoid or abdominal fever when I was three or four... and back then, their healing method was still traditional. They had to monitor the virus inside of me daily. So they took my blood every other day. This lasted for almost a month. Can you imagine the horror of this? Especially for a three or four-year old girl? Ever since that incident, needle has become my big enemy. Before I went to U.S. last year, I was forced to get an MMR shot. Oh, it was so scary. I remember I couldn't feel my knees soon after they gave me the shot. My knees became limp in such a short time! Anyway, after that injection the doctor gave me a note, like a proof for the injection. Through my agent, I sent that doctor's note to Texas A&M University, Corpus Christi. When I transferred to De Anza College, TAMUCC didn't for
