Sunday, 8PM in the Los Angeles Angels Stadium of Anaheim was pure excitement.
The crowd was going wild. All seats were taken and we got our ’seats’ taken away twice and decided to head back to our assigned seats, which had the best view of the entire baseball field.
More details to come after the finals week.

edit: Can you believe it? The Republic of Korea is leading the World Baseball Classic with a flawless record of five wins and zero losses. What is going on with the United States?! I expected a tougher fight between the two nations yesterday night.
I have my ticket for the Wednesday night’s game against Japan in the Anaheim Stadium but I decided to sacrifice my ticket and give it to my mom. It’s all worth it. And since I’m missing the Korea versus Japan game, I might make it up by going to the SAN DIEGO FINAL match between Korea and the other semi-finalists!!! Two hour drive (or less) to see Korea make history in the world of baseball, priceless.

Time to get back to my FINALS mode. Two finals left and the quarter is finally over, completed!

Never make the mistake of taking 20 college units. I’ve made an awful mistake. Never will that happen. Never (since I’m graduating soon).
I thought I was ready for the challenge but boy was I wrong. The workload was incredibly stressful! I can see why that one engineering student committed suicide due to his heavy 24 unit schedule (there’s more story to it of course). But do not worry, I have two weeks of school left this quarter as soon as the spring break starts. Thinking of that one week break brings me great joy and hopefully a time of relaxation. But I’m worried, worried that I will not get the full week of rest, a good hours of sleep each day, a time of outdoor activities and exposure to the beautiful nature. Besides the camping retreats, I might be doing more research and reading than expected. The pressure is on me.

I can see the side effects from the stress that I been accumulating. It is unhealthy, period. I don’t get the proper hours of exercise and the hours of sleep is not consistent. I’m a walking zombie I tell you. My performance level is at a below average state. Thank God the spring quarter will be less intense, and the kinesiology classes will make it an interesting quarter. I’m going to have a lot of fun.

When your sleeping pattern is inconsistent, breakfast is being skipped, deadlines week after week, being absent to meetings, unable to hang out with friends, you know for sure that there will be consequences. You get stressed out, then you get really bitter, then you become pessimistic, then you pretty much don’t care about how your attitude towards other. Ultimately, it affects your relationship with others and you go through the stage of depression. I been there this quarter. But I have survived and am so thankful, so happy to know that I am not alone, and that it is not the end of the world.

Two more weeks Kevin. Two measly weeks.
