Busted Tire = Angry Eric

Man, today was not a fun experience. I wanted to take my bike to school to fix it because the tires are messed up. I didn’t even noticed it but it was flat and I think riding on flat tires for too long messed up the tires. So I had to get both the tires and the tubes replaced. But what I’m mad about is that I couldn’t get on the bus because both of the bike slots are full. To make it worse, I chose today to bring my taekwondo equipment to school. I couldn’t wait for another bus, either, because I would have been late for class. Basically, I was forced to ride my bike to school carrying my backpack and my gym bag on a rapidly deflating rear wheel up Westwood Blvd >:O.

Someone who smokes pot all day

So today I was in my Algorithms and Complexity class (CS180), when I couldn’t find any place to sit, and by that, I mean, I couldn’t find any place to sit where I would have a seat to the left and to the right of me :-/. Because my Spanish class was right before, I could never get to class on time to get a good seat. Anyways, I chose a random seat between two people. The guy to the left of me was okay, but the guy to the right smelled like he smokes pot all day. At first I didn’t notice and I thought the smell went away, but it didn’t. Everytime he cleared his throat, and he did this a lot (how many times do you need to clear your throat anyways?), I would smell marijuana. Haven’t smoked this much second-hand pot since I was in Berkeley. Not only that, he would put his foot up. Normally, it’s okay, because you have shoes, but this guy was wearing flip-flops so he put his actual foot on. To make it worse, today was a quiz day (we have a quiz in cs180 every Thursday), so I had to take the quiz with this guy next to me. I would have switched seats, but the classroom was pretty full. I had to control myself to stop myself from punching the guy in the face.

How to Drive Like a Maniac

Amazon.com: How to Drive Like a Maniac Self-Hurt: Knock Knock: Books

I finished How to Drive Like a Maniac today. It was quite good. It taught me useful things like “There is no ‘Speed Limit,’ there is only ‘Speed.'” Also, I learned that a green light means go through the intersection (obviously), a yellow light means go even faster through the intersection, a red light means stop, and then go through the intersection quickly. There were other tricks like multitasking in the car, as well as cupholder gourmet that saves me time. It is also useful to know that turn signals are for other people only.

Btw, I was just joking about all that, but this book is humorous to read for regular commuters.

She was French?

I saw this Asian girl today, but then she started speaking French. It was kind of weird.

My Poor Teeth

Went to the dentist today. I went to Cynthia Cheung, DDS, but actually, my dentist was Dr. Grace Ahn. It hurt a lot because I did a deep cleaning, and my teeth were not that clean :-/. She said there’s a lot of problems with my teeth, so it might cost a lot of money to fix it, like as much as a new car :-(.

I eat salad with a spoon

Today, after I got my food, and started on my salad with my spoon, a girl sitting across from me stared at me and said, “Don’t you want to eat that with a fork?” I thought that was pretty random. The reality is that forks are not strong enough to break some of the food that I was eating, especially the baked potato, so that’s why I use a spoon.
