I'm Shen. Nice to meet you.

Occupation: Computer and Electrical Engineering Student
Work: IEOP teacher (I teach foreigners how to speak english...not good)
I don't know what else you want to know?

If you need help at all, I'd be happy to help. I know a lot about programming and overall how this works, considering I've been here for years and I'm going to school for computer engineering. So, I hope you enjoy your stay and that I don't offend you.

I was weak. Thats why I needed you...needed someone to punish me for my sins...but thats all over now...I know the truth.

My ears are BLEEDING

My first post in a while and it has to be about this...my friend made me listen to the worst Fan fiction ever put on this planet. There is a person that actually reads these out loud so you don't have to, your just forced to listen.

My friend made me listen to one about dragon ball Z earlier. It was terrifying and I didn't think she could make me hear anything worse. I was HORRIBLY wrong. If you have ever heard of My Immortal the fanfic...you know what I mean. Its a Harry Potter fan fiction and it is...well I don't think there is a word to describe it.

This repugnant monstrosity is, as you might have guessed, a Harry Potter fan fiction. So most would think that the fan would write about an OC being in love with Harry or Draco, or using them in some homo fashion. Well, you would be right about ALL of it. Oh, and SPOILER she makes Draco a vampire.

Now Rain, you're being so mean about it! You can't just call it a terrifying trepidation, that would hurt the writers feelings. Well, thats sad for them, especially since they are a self proclaimed goth. Quite frankly my dear, I don't give a damn. Why you may ask? She insults EVERYONE. She says in it that blondes are ugly, she ruins slipknot, good charlotte, and Linkin Park, she insults the entire gothic way of life, and she says in there after the main character finds out that Draco has had sex with Harry "You probably have AIDs anyway!"

It defied physics, the idea of being a vampire(i.e. vampires slitting their wrists and blood coming out), it constantly contradicted itself, and on top of that she never even read the books and was just going off the movies, which I wouldn't have a problem with BUT, and was getting them WRONG! It was so non-canon that it made it feel like I was bleeding from my ears.

But now I'm amazed at myself because I actually want to find out just how far the rabbit hole goes. Wish me luck on my endeavor.

Jobs...

Yup, I had the career fair yesterday. That means I rubbed noses with some really large companies, like IBM and Amazon. Its so hard to be an engineer with a low GPA...I had to get dressed up and put on make-up and everything. It was really uncomfortable but I ended up wearing it for the rest of the day afterword.

Then today at work we got to play mafia with all the students! It was so much fun! The funniest part was Noichi kept getting to be the nurse. It was hilarious! I can't believe that happened! I haven't played mafia in so long and it was such an adventure to try and teach everyone how to lie in english. They weren't so good at it in the beginning, but they got so much better toward the end. I'm so proud of the students this year, they are learning at an incredible rate. How proud I am.

Lemon Grenade!

"Would anyone one like some lemenonade?"
"I'll take some lemonade!"
"Ya, me too!"
"The Arbiter would also like some Lemon Grenade"

Man that part was great. It made me laugh so many times...but I digress.

Today has been a great day. It all started at 9 this morning when my professor didn't show up to class and our TA taught us. The best part of my TA teaching us? The topic was Zombie Children. I kid you not. Zombie Children. Its a technical term for a specific type of parent and child processes in an Operating system.

And now its almost four o'clock in the morning. The life of a programer sure it tough. And its still not done. T-T I don't know if I'll ever get it perfect. Damn. But my code is a matrix multiplier. Its really complex and tiring to do not to mention we still have to write up the report and I have to finish a part of my part of the project. I'm making a video game with three others. Its kinda interesting.

I'm going to go take my shower and go to bed now...I really need to go to sleep.

Guess what?

So, I like to listen to something or watch something while I study. Usually its just music, but sometimes I'll rewatch old shows I used to watch, like Doctor Who. Well, I have decided what I'm going to be watching this semester since it will probably take me that long. Can anyone guess what it is? Anyone?

If you guessed Dragon Ball Z, you would be correct. I honestly have never finished the show before. I only got up to kid buu and the fusion before they stopped making and showing them on toonami. By the way, that was fantastic with its zoids, and Gundam G and Wing, and don't forget about Ruroni Kenshin and Tenshi Muyo. Fantastic and hilarious shows.

I think I just showed my age...damn...

Back to college

Thats right, I have made it back to my dorm room and will embark on a new semester of college tomorrow. Am I excited? No. After three years, excitement leaves a little bit and gives way to gnawing fear of having a very difficult semester. Especially this semester.

I also have nothing to do right now and I would do something on the internet but the dorms access isn't ready to hold all the people using it right now so its ENCREDIBLY SLOOOOOOOW! Just getting to do this took a good minute to load after I had to refresh because it wouldn't load the page. Oh well. I have to go to a house meeting now. Hopefully it finishes quickly so I can do something I would actually enjoy.
