summer!!

yay! it's finally summer! the first couple of days were pretty hectic, what with not just moving to summer housing, but helping three other people move as well. moving is a real pain! this is when you hate being the one with the big fridges, tvs or whatever. thankfully, i didn't have to worry about carrying any extra-large stuff. the only good thing about moving is, you find stuff you had totally forgotten about. like i found these nice hand-made calendars from back home, and other stuff.

anyway, the dorm i have moved to is way better than the one i've been living in. it's big, spacious, carpeted, has AC, attached bathroom, a common room and the dorm has an elevator! so living on the third floor is not as bad. it's also close to the engineering building, so i don't have to walk too far for summer research.

speaking of research, it's begun already. monday was a drag, but the work has gotten more fun. like today i voluntarily stayed in the lab from 7 am till 7 pm. I was allowed to make some really big decisions by myself, which was really cool. I even got to cut thick steel today, in addition to drilling, tapping, priming and painting metal! This is the first time they let me touch that stuff, let alone handle them myself! eli is a great lab partner. he's fun to work with.

and umm.. we had a barbecue today! only one cafe is open on campus during the summer, and it is expensive, so free food is always great! and the barbecue at the dining hall was great! it was meant especially for the seniors, but of course, everyone on campus joined in.

then, i took a little nap on the couch in our living room because i was too lazy to walk the few meters down to my room. then finally when i was about to go to bed at like 11, daisy im'ed me asking if i had any movies. i told her i had 'lion king'. so yea, i ended up watching that with her and connie in their room. it was fun! who doesn't like lion king??

and now i'm really sleepy and need to go to bed. dunno if i'm goin to the gym tomorrow. oh yea, i've planned to go the gym everyday if possible. I went on tuesday. today i went to the lab early so couldn't go. maybe tomorrow if i'm not as sleepy in the morning since i've been up late, i'll go.

alrighty then. i'm off. take care, world!
