Everyone needs change and so did my blog title. I just changed it from ‘Just Do It’ to ‘I Wander’ as it seemed more close to how I feel about a lot of things in part of my life.
I wonder…. I wander…
If you ever need to find me on campus or buy me lunch, here’s my schedule for this quarter -

A couple of months ago, I was an intern at Microsoft. A time when $10 lunches were the norm and could buy things without worrying about a budget.
Now, I am a college kid and living on the edge again. I quit my campus job this quarter since I am taking 20 credits this fall. This gives me more time to work on school stuff but also moved my $6 burrito at chipotle from a commodity food to a luxury food

I just came back from my first Husky football game. Unfortunately, our college team happens to be a little unexperienced and quite frankly sucks!
It was still a great experience to watch a game live with 61,694 other die-hard husky fans screaming at the top of their lungs. We lost to Stanford today 28-35 (by a touchdown) but I had a great time. Lost my voice a little with all the screaming but I think it was worth it. I wish I had started going to these games as a freshman. I’m starting to miss a lot of things these days along with a lot of regrets. I wonder why…

I’m taking Computer Networks this quarter in school and thought this might be useful for people to know. If you have ever wondered why they call the internet, a series of tubes…. remember that the internet is a network of networks and the main backbones for the US and the world look like this -
So, now you know…

Looks like WaMu went down the shitter too, becoming the biggest bank in US history to go down in the mortgage crisis. Thankfully, the feds siezed their assets (whatever that means) and sold them to JPMorgan Chase, in exchange for peanuts.
Now, I know that people in these institutions are supposed to be the smartest in what they do, but I really have no idea how these things work. I give them money (savings accounts) and then make the smart choice and give me 3.75% interest while making much more in profit for themselves. Along the way, someone realized that something was not right and started pulling out their money and now, we have a crisis.
I really could care less but unfortunately, all my hard earned dollars are with WaMu. I logged in to my online account this afternoon and was greeted with this message -
Translation : We(JPMorgan Chase) are sorry that WaMu screwed you over. We bought them for peanuts from the feds yesterday and we have trillions of dollars to do this, but please don’t withdraw your money from us because we need it. We now have a zillion banks and ATMs from where you can get your money if you really need it. Kthxbye.
My next quest is to find a decent bank where all my money would be safe. Any suggestions?

In under 12 hours from now, I will be sitting down for my first class as a senior. In under 9 months from now, I will be a college graduate.
As much as I hate homeworks and reading, I don’t think I want to graduate just yet and never go back to school again. I can’t believe that I’m already done with 3 years of college and have just 9 months left. Makes me sad

My body clock seems to have gotten confused in the process of adapting from the tropical Hawaii climate to the temperate rainy Seattle. I woke up at 12:30 in the afternoon on Saturday, ate lunch, went back to sleep at 6PM and woke up again at 10:30PM.
Now, it’s about 4AM on Sunday and I’m wide awake. Arrgh..
