Padres

Went to the Padre game with Jose, Javier, Matt, Quang, Guerrero and Emerson. We took the trolley there, and got seats for 9 bucks, good deal. We ended up winning, the guy next to us was drunk x infinity, and it started raining too. We were Coke Zero mascots for 30 seconds. Yeah, that's it. I think we should all go to Padre games once every month.










More pics on Flickr + Jose and this new "jerk" craze coming soon.

Nostalgia

Ever wanted to watch the first Pokemon season? You know, with the Pokemon that you actually know? Cause pretty much after the first season, everything got all weird. Well, thanks to Spring Break, I found a place that has the whole first season ( and a lot more), but all I need is the first season.

Its the link on the first post, I warn you though, there are a lot of pop-ups, but its legit and does have all the episodes. So if you want a little nostalgic feeling of waking up on Saturday morning to watch the new episode of Pokemon, go right along.

Cove and Work

I went to La Jolla Cove yesterday with peeps from the Photography Club and Mr. Schmidt. It was a good time, got some good pictures. Also, when we were there, some guy proposed to his girlfriend, and we were there to get pictures. That was pretty cool. Also, there was this "Project Freeze" going on where people froze to raise awareness on human trafficking. We saw a Mr. Maheu look alike, and ate some good ass burgers too. Then at the end, we randomly saw Brandon there. The sunset was pretty nice too.







Project Freeze:


We also saw this like 6 year old holding his own Nikon SLR with a bag and everything:
Me: Dang, Mr. Schmidt, look at that kid, he's ballin'
Schmidt: What does ballin' mean?
Me: Like he has a lot of money,he's ballin'
Schmidt: Oh, I always thought ballin' meant something different
Me: Like what?
Schmidt: It either means you having sex, that was from the 70's, or that you're crying. And I sure didn't see him doing either.

Mr. Schmidt also thinks its funny when Asian people talk to their parents in a foreign language, then talk in perfect English after that. Hahahaha.








Then today, I went to church. Then had work. I forgot to freakin' clock in again. I need to stop forgetting. Then I got home, crashed, and started doing the upload process of all my pictures and what not. Should be a fun day tommorow. I want Spring Break to last forever.

UCSD Mess Up

Apparently, UCSD sent acceptance emails to people that werent actually accepted and didnt send the wrong emails and crap. Sucks, hopefully people at Mira Mesa didn't have to go through this.

"UC San Diego -- a school for the smart ones, supposedly -- mistakenly congratulated nearly 29,000 applicants on their acceptance, according to university officials.

Earlier this month, about 17,000 students were offered admission for the fall, leaving nearly 29,000 hopefuls out in the cold.
But on Tuesday, the school's communications office said an e-mail was sent Monday afternoon to all 46,377 students who applied for admission -- including the 29,000 rejects -- welcoming them to the campus.
A half-hour later, school officials said, they realized their mistake. Almost two hours after the first note went out, a second e-mail was sent, apologizing to 28,889 freshmen applicants for the mistake.
"No member of this department is more acutely aware of the emotional roller-coaster that this could cause for our applicants," Assistant Vice Chancellor Mae W. Brown said.
