So it's spring break and as per tradition as in previous years, I am just lounging around. Roommate is gone. Wendy too busy with her own work to host a guest like me at present. Pretty much everyone is gone. But at least I can now blare my music in my own room. xD
Professor Yao assures me that if I turned in an application for the summer program in Shanghai, I will get in. The only question is whether I can get the school to pay for me to go. Scholarships decision will be announced 3/23, so I'm crossing my finger. It does look about 98% certain I will be off in Shanghai between May 28 and July 20 this summer. While that certainly means no AX with the group, there's a silver lining. If I can get the school to pay for me to go to Shanghai, I can instead spend money on probably another month of traveling afterward! One stop will undoubtedly be Hong Kong, probably for a week. Other destinations I am considering in the proximity are other parts of China (aka Beijing), Japan, and Korea. It also depends on where Michelle and Sara will want to go, or have the money to spend. Then maybe I can go hopping across the country here to visit people wherever they end up this summer. Once again, all contingent on the fact of if I get into Shanghai or the scholarship. This could be my first real vacation ever.
I requested tickets to see The Colbert Report a while back and I finally got a reply. That is both good and bad news. If it had fallen right on a school day, I would have just given it up. The date I got was April 19, where there aren't any classes, but Spring Carnival also starts the day afterward. What to do...? Too bad the tickets are supposed to be non-transferable or I'd just pass them off to people. Oh well, another month to think about this.
Agenda for spring break (aka let's be as ridiculously productive as we can before next Saturday comes around)
Finish writing quest so Greg doesn't bludgeon me to death by Nerf gun
Construct stimuli for experiment of doom
Learn to program in E-prime...
Fail and go bug poor Mike to save my grade
Sew
Animate basic fight/jump/walking pose
Exercise/Do reading for foreign policy
Go outside everyday there's sun
Watch Devil's Disciples
Plot and scheme...
Grocery shopping at the Strip
Bake?
That doesn't look like too much... I think...
