I changed my blog again. Sorry. It's at sylvikhan.blogspot.com. The reason I did it was cuz this one pissed me off. I can't add entry titles, which I want to... or have comments, which isn't as important. I just like the entry titles and a new template and stuff.

Meep. Go there.

New Blog

It was only at the end of the discourse that this young recluse, whose name was Pukkusati, realized that the person who spoke to him was the Buddha himself. So he got up, went before the Buddha, bowed down at the feet of the Master, and apologized to him for calling him 'friend' un- knowingly. He then begged the Buddha to ordain him and admit him into the Order of the Sangha.

The Buddha asked him whether he had the alms-bowl and the robes ready. (A bhikkhu must have three robes and the alms-bowl for begging food.) When Pukkusati replied in the negative, the buddha said that the Tathagatas would not ordain a person unless the alms-bowl and the robes were ready.

So Pukkusati went out in seach of an alms-bowl and robes, but was unfortunately savaged by a cow and died.

This is from the book "What the Buddha Taught". It had this weird footnote about how cows are normally docile and probably some statistic about the number of cows in India at that point, but that is irrelevant. >___< I just thought it was weird, seeing as how the rest of the book praises Buddha.

So... happy birthday again, Max. Megatokyo is still too melodramatic for my taste so I have not been reading it.

Trancos is a very enjoyable dorm. >___< Room 304 this year still looks like a nice place to camp out. Except, this year, so does 303. This girl who gets paid to play games lives in 303... and she is being "forced" to try out FFXI. Her company bought it for her... and a free account... so much envy. The other chick has Star Ocean. And comfy pillows.

But my room is cool as well. It may have nothing much so far, except for Alpha and dirty laundry... but I'll get a futon and stuff soon.

Hmm. Update! Life has been good. I think.

Roommate is chill. Forgive me if I mentioned that before. I'm content on that part. Except we usually aren't in this room at the same times... but we both wake up around 8:00-9:00 for blasted classes.

Looking around at organizations. Heh. I might join KdPhi. I never figured I was so Asian-oriented... meh. Maybe I won't rush after all. I'm probably doing Alpha Phi Omega though. Which really isn't a frat. I mean, come on... service-oriented frat... I don't think they even throw parties.

Oh, and I've become a BioME with an emphasis on business. My dad promised he'd be my "angel investor". Nice. He says he's been getting offers to buy his business for around 10 million dollars (that's straight to us). That's pretty crazy. He's holding out, though... I hope we all won't regret that decision... Funny thing is, a few months ago he promised we would have 50 million soon.

Enough excited bragging. >__< But meh. Rags to riches? Not a bad way to go... I'm a bit too happy about thinking about it to care who I piss off.

I think I've pissed enough people anyway with my short-lived relationship. Five or six more people pissed at me is Nothing. It annoys me that I still think about it.

Also: E14 really irks me. That ridiculous homework process. I turned in an 11-paged problem set today. That should not be done. It's like back in 8th grade, that lady who made us copy down the problem question and then show all our work and the answer. Except WORSE. Now I have to do goal, assumption, given, drawing, work, and conclusion. All for questions that have very obvious answers.

I hate feeling sorry for myself... and sounding like it too.

So I deleted my last entry!

^^ You're welcome.

Meep.

I can't believe people read this blogger.

I watched the Presidential Debates today. Kerry is kinda boring. Bush, in his simplicity, is easier to listen to. He's obviously stupider though.

At any rate, I have developed somewhat of a voter apathy here... just because Kerry will definitely carry Cali.

And debates are boring.

Girl-boy friendships should stay. Friendships.

Roomies from 304, Jro... thanks for understanding ^^. I hope everything is put in the past at super-speed. I really really didn't want to hurt you guys. I want to continue to visit Burbanks and EAST to see you guys as pals. And I hope nothing is awkward. Us two make good buddies...

But not as anything more.

I definitely don't want a boyfriend this year. 'sides, it might bother Mish. The last thing I need is to piss off all my favorite peoples.

I'm so relieved........

Odd stuff is happening here... hmm. But fun. Stanford is fun so far. Burbanks and Trancos are my homes. If Alan lived closer, EAST house probably would be a third home... I kinda wish I had drawn into GovCo, their rooms are so Big! 'specially that cool two-story room. I need a room with a loft...

Anyways, Sylvi's doing well. I got some buds in my classes, so all is fun. Problem is, I have no doubt Study Groups are going to come about... and I do rather poorly in those. Too much fun and games.

<3,
-Me.
