winning with five

last night we were short a player for our volleyball team, but the other teams on our court were short a player as well.  this made it a night of fives for everyone.  our team has been struggling this year and we have had our ups and down.  i think that i’ve been in a bit of a slump recently, but we still played well.

our team managed to finish the night undefeated, something that i don’t think we’ve done in a long time.  it was good fun and i really enjoyed how the team came together.  it was the best we’ve played all season.

superbowl sunday

it’s superbowl sunday and i’ve actually got a fair amount of to do today.  i’m going to go to henry’s superbowl party, but because there is volleyball tonight, it looks like i will have to leave the party early to make the trek down to san jose to play vball tonight.

last week’s volleyball was not pretty.  i wasn’t feeling well and had a pretty bad off night.  my team is not faring quite as well as i thought we would on paper, but i think that that will change soon.  the sunday league is supposed to be for fun, so hopefully it’ll stay fun.  =)

tomorrow is going to start a week of big work for me.  i’m not sure how much i’ll get done, but i think that i’m going to be pretty busy at work.  i’ve been doing some work at home and on the weekends lately and i can’t wait until this project is done.  i’m starting to feel overwhelmed.

lack of posts

you know that i’ve got nothing to write about when i start doing memes (which i recently found out is not pronounced as me-me, but mEEEEm) and other types of online quiz-type things.  still, i was amused enough to try this quiz to see what kind of major i should have pursued.

oddly enough, i had thought about being a math major until i took some math class in college that had all of these vector things that i thought were retarded.  you had to draw in that class.  that instantly turned me off to math.  i don’t like to draw.  which is also consistent with this quiz as art got a whopping 17%.

i guess the results of the quiz makes sense, i am currently an engineer that likes to blog about sometimes philosophical things about society.

my results:

You scored as Mathematics.

You should be a Math major! Like Pythagoras, you are analytical,
rational, and when are always ready to tackle the problem head-on!

Journalism    75%
Sociology    67%

so much travel

it looks like this year will be a year of travel for me.  i’m planning on going to atlanta later this month and hawaii in the summer for a wedding.  it’s february and i’ve already planned for half of my vacation time to be used up already!  i don’t think that i really travelled much last year, aside from a short weekend trip to new york, so it’ll be nice to go to some places this year.
