| When he had finished his last final, he said, "It is finished." With that, he bowed his head and took a quick nap.

| Things that disappoint me now that once brought me great joy:
1. UCLA... on so many levels. But maintain faith!
2. Scrubs. Why return for a season 9? Or even a season 8? 7? 6? WHY????
3. Board games... I guess this is the next maturity phase.
Life is full of unfulfilled expectations...

| Top underrated food (in my opinion): Fresh Rice, like right out of the rice-maker.
My mom loves to make a lot of rice at once, so much so that it greatly exceeds the amount that is about to be consumed. She then saves the rest in the fridge for us to heat up later. You kind of get used to the taste of old rice after several years... This makes the fresh batch of rice so much better!
Top overrated food (in my opinion): Thanksgiving Day Pumpkin Pie.
LET ME EXPLAIN. I don't mean pumpkin pie in general, I mean pumpkin pie consumed on Thanksgiving Day (come on, pumpkin pie is my second favorite pie in the entire world! btw, banana cream pie is my first...). You see, I psyche myself up during the weeks leading up to Thanksgiving with the thought of endless amounts of pumpkin pie. Over-hype: preseason-Cal-football-over-hype. When the big day comes, I stuff myself with turkey, ham, stuffing, mashed potatoes, creamed corn, and other delicious foods. Then comes the pumpkin pie and at this point everything tastes like rubber. I try to eat several slices of pie, but I just can't because I'm stuffed and ready to burst at the seams. The thing I look forward to the most on this holiday drops like a dud. Hence, it is overrated. Perhaps if we ate the pie before the meal, it would live up to its expectations... But leftovers are always awesome!
Freak, I need to write my paper.

| Oh how blissful it is to win a tournament with oversized (well, technically undersized since most were Asian) men vying for a trophy that, ultimately, is utterly useless. Go Open Vine, your 2009 turkey-bowl champions!
On an unrelated note, Pete Carroll has joined my "most hated coach list," which currently only has Bill Belichick. I used to think Pete Carroll was a decent human being, who was just really passionate about the game. Today, he showed me, and the rest of the world, that he has no soul. USC, you truly are the most classless institution the world has ever seen. Congratulations.

| Today was a day of gluttony. No self-control whatsoever.
Let's recap what I ate today. I'd rather not, but I amaze myself and this information needs to be needlessly shared.
Breakfast: Frosted Flakes cereal with yogurt. Not too bad.
Second Breakfast (I feel like a hobbit): three pancakes (1 had M&Ms), some more M&Ms, grapes and Sunny D. Sunny D fascinates me because it looks so delicious before you drink it, but as you're drinking it, you think to yourself, "what is this crap???"
Lunch (ohhhhh boy...): Mexican chicken salad, some manicotti, alfredo bowtie pasta with dried tomatoes, mac 'n cheese, 1 slice of pepperoni pizza, 1 slice of humus pizza, a bowl of some creamy green pasta with chicken, root beer, and a cone of "ice cream." Yes, I ate at the Biola cafeteria. Let me tell you, it's almost as good as UCLA dorms. Almost.
Snack: Leftover Halloween candy a classmate brought into class (my sweet-tooth instantly took control of my body). A mini-size bag of sour patch, a mini-size bag of Sweetish Fish, a Kit-Kat bar, and a Reese's Peanut Butter Cup. At this point, my heart is slowing down and my pants button is about to burst.
Dinner (the worst way to end your day, yet also the best... does that make sense?): "All-you-can-eat" In-N-Out burgers at the Talbot lounge. By "all-you-can-eat" they mean 2, but really, who can eat more than 2 double-doubles? If you answered yes, you're either Michael Phelps, or not in very good cardiovascular shape. I exercised a little bit of self-control and ate 1 and a half. This was accompanied by two bags of chips and a Sunkist and a Hawaiian Punch.
Add all these ingredients up and you get a really bloated stomach and a lot of gas.
I think I need to run like 430 miles to burn all this off. So I'm going to start my run to San Fransisco right now and will be back in 2 months. Bye!
