| i hate the rain and people who romanticize the rain. who likes the rain, seriously? people who're like "omg i love the rain its so soothing blah blah w/e", stfu, rain fucking sucks. cant do anything in the rain and its so much trouble to get anywhere. umbrellas suck too. theyre like mini parachutes and the rain always comes coupled with wind.

| so today i was thinking that i should stop scheduling early classes. i dont know why i get 8 am classes and think im going to fix my sleeping schedule. im not going to fix it and ive realized that i dont want to either. i like staying up late and being up at 7 am isnt something i should struggle with if i dont have to. ive realized i should schedule school around my life instead of trying to schedule my life around school. school shouldnt be my first priority. being happy and enjoying life should be. thats not to say im just going to do whatever and blow it off. i know what i have to do to get by in this life and i trust myself to do the things that need to get done. those things just shouldnt dictate everything else. i think ive always done a pretty good job of making sure im able to relax and do things i like even if im busy. having school not interfere with my sleep preferences would just make it that much better.

| what an incredible final...with roddick up 6-2 in the 2nd set tiebreak, i started to try to come to terms with the fact that he might actually win, but then federer won 6 pts in a row and all was back to normal again. and again at 8-8 in the 5th when roddick had 15-40 on federers serve, it seemed like the match was his; roddicks own serve had been untouchable the entire match, but then federer hit 2 winners.
i feel so bad for roddick. he played so well and on a couple of occasions had the match in his hands but still came up short. federer has really destroyed roddicks career. without federer, roddick would probably have 6+ majors and his name would be mentioned with the greats. sucks that he was born in the wrong era...much like john stockton.
on another note, i miss justine henin. with the exception of serena, venus, and sharapova, all of the other women are chumps who never show up to compete. almost every major final involves one of the players crumbling while the other casually sweeps aside whatever remains of their opponents fragile mentality. at 5'6 and 130 lbs, henin was so mentally tough and is such an inspiration to me. ive always been smaller than everyone in everything i do, and in the back of my mind ive always let my size be an excuse for not being as good or hitting as hard as everyone else. so watching her outhit opponents who were often nearly a foot taller than her was awesome. she also had the prettiest groundstrokes in the game. i only watched womens tennis for her (bcuz we all know its a terrible sport and its sexist that they get paid the same amount in the grand slams) and havent followed it since she left.

| i love talking to my dad. we always have a good time. i wish it were that way with my mom, but talking to her always ends up with her finding some way to nag me.
anyway, like ivans xanga was saying, my dad told us a lot about his life between vietnam and houston. very interesting. i want to visit vietnam with my family sometime in the near future. ahhh......when i have money!

| dont you love feeling sore? its a great feeling bcuz it lets you know that you pushed yourself. except if youre feeling sore and had to move shit up and down the stairs today and all day tomorrow..then its not that great a feeling anymore. my thighs ache..not to mention my right thumb and pinky that i jammed as well.
anyway, im excited about moving back tomorrow, but my mom has already started calling and pestering me about crap...not looking forward to that part of the summer, having to live at home and be constantly nagged again. i need my independence and freedom..and peace of mind.
four years of college went by really fast. good thing im not leaving yet bcuz i cant imagine it being over already. my friend said 'you just dont want to ever grow up'. i think hes right. at least for now, im not ready.
i got an 83 on my bio final (yay), so i should maintain my B in there. so 1 A and 1 B this semester. eh, cant complain. i dont know why i care so much about grades.
on a random note though, i do know why i try so hard at my hobbies. i see many people picking up something they like, only to give lackluster effort and quit soon after. i dont understand this. your hobbies (along with good friends, family, and good food of course) make life worth living. what else could be more important than doing something you enjoy? i admire people who are passionate about what they do, bcuz when you really put your heart into something, it makes it that much more enjoyable and rewarding when you see the effects of your hard work. people used to say i took tennis too seriously, or that i took starcraft too seriously, or find it silly that i take poker so seriously now. i think these people are missing out on what its like to truly indulge yourself in something you love doing. i know that life is never going to be boring to me bcuz ill always have something im working towards, something outside of the motonony of a 9-5 corporate job thats probably going to make me want to kill myself, something i can be happy about giving my full effort to. thats what hobbies are to me, and i think people neglect that part of their lives too often.
