What is a team?

Weekend Recap
I should be studying for my exam and big quiz tomorrow, but I feel like procrastinating a little heh.
This weekend was a pretty busy couple of days, with the homecoming
events and tennis matches and all. UMBC did a great job with Homecoming
this year! The bonfire was huge, the library looked like a
mansion or something with all those lights flying around, and the
fireworks were pretty to look at. CommUniversity Fest went smoothly too. For volunteering, not only do we get a free long sleeve t-shirt and free tickets to the Last Comic Standing show (which was hilarious!), but because our club was volunteering we made 125 bucks for ourselves! Yay!Match wise…not great results this weekend against Navy and
Maryland. It seemed like we may had a chance against Navy early
in the match, but then Navy dominated in singles (unfortuanately for
us). Maryland was super duper unorganized, but I couldn’t blame
the guy that was running today’s match because it was really other
people’s fault. Plus, I was in his exact situation last year, so
I know how it felt. No matter how disorganized Maryland was they
had pretty good people on their team and there was really nothing much
we can do about it…but hey, at least I won my doubles match w/ my partner Jon Wu today 8-3. Winning feels good… heh.
So yea, Chinese exam and big Deductive
System quiz tomorrow, Personality Psych exam this Thursday, and
Adolescent Psych exam the following Monday, not to mention 2 matches
this weekend. I’m actually kinda hoping for rain this weekend because we could use a break. Shoot, I need a break…

What a great song… :-)
Save Room by John Legend
Say that you stay a little
Don’t say bye bye tonight
Say you’ll be mine
just a little of bit of love is worth a moment of your time
knocking on your door just a little
so cold outside tonight
let’s get the fire burning
I know, I keep it burining right
If you stay, won’t you stay – stay
save room for my love
save room for a moment to be with me
save room for my love save a little
save a little for me
won’t you save a little
save a little for me – ohh
This just might hurt a little
love hurts sometimes when you do it right
Don’t be affraid of a little bit of pain
pleasure is just on the other side
Let down your guard just a little
I keep you safe in these arms of mine
Hold on to me – pretty baby
You will see I can be all you need
If you stay, won’t you stay – stay
save room for my love
save room for a moment to be with me
save room for my love save a little
save a little for me
won’t you save a little
save a little for me – ohh
[pa-ya-pa-pa] – [pa-ya-pa-pa] – [pa-ya-pa-pa] – [da-da-da]
Ohhh come on
Make time to live a little
don’t let this moment slip by tonight
you never know what you are missing untill you try
I keep you satisfied
if you stay, won’t you stay – stay
save room for my love
save room for a moment to be with me
save room for my love save a little
save a little for me
won’t you save a little
save a little for me – ohh—————————————————————————————————

So we lost…again…
…by the same score 3-6. However this time it wasn’t really too
much that we didn’t play well but more like we were beaten by a
more skilled team. Still, I can’t help to think that if we had
Jon and Caroline we could have maybe…nah w/e. I just hope we
break this losing streak soon because it doesnt feel good haha.
At least we got closer as a team yesterday! Guess we need
to work better during practices from now on…
Jeff was breezing by his singles match, while Kevin…wasn’t unfortunately
Me warming up w/ Tae for our exhibition match
I still don’t know what I was doing in this one…do i really point to the ball when I volley?
US guys chillin
Checking out someone…j/k! writing down our disappointing scores haha
Like the back of our new shirts?Next weekend is the Navy match (only girls) and the Maryland
match. Hey, I can go visit some friends that day! And go to
Tenren! And maybe get some DP Dough (gosh I missed that)!Man, my righ calf is still bothering me! I did something to it
during Friday’s practice and now it feels all stiff when I walk.
So annoying!So I guess I should study today. Yea study…(urgh)…

The Departed
A damn fine movie! I haven’t seen the original movie that it was
based on yet, but I think I will after seeing this tonight.!
Great great quotes:
Ellerby: How ya feeling?Dignam: I’m tired from fuck ing your wife.
Ellerby: How’s your mother?
Dignam: She’s tired from fucking my father.
Dignam: “I’m the guy who does his job! You must be the other guy!”

This is gonna be rather long entry
Man of the Year
I
went to see a sneak preview of this movie last night at White
Marsh. Definitely worth the trip and not a half bad movie. Robin Williams
did a great job and it was funnier than I thought it would be. He
makes a lot of very valid points too (why aren’t more politician in on
this? heh). However, the stuff involving Laura Linney‘s
character really took a lot of out the movie. She was so annoying
throughout the movie, so much that I had no sympathy for her and was
hoping that car woulda hit her!Besides that I more or less like it. 6.5/10 is my movie rating.

Two nights ago a group of us gave Kevin a surprise b-day cake! It was fun and I’m sure Kevin enjoyed it (the cake at the very least heh).Some pics:
The Asians haha. (Can Tae be any more asian??)

Alright, some personal feelings:School
has been more or less alright. I’m pretty sure I will get an A in
Chinese and Personality Psych, but I’m unsure if I will in Deductive
Systems and Adolescence Psych. Keep making dumb mistakes in those
classes urgh! We shall see…My mood has been up
and downs, not enough stability. Heh, to think that I use to be
content all the time…I know one thing that could change that would
make me really really really happy, but I’m not sure if it will happen
yet. Life would be a lot easier if I can just read her
mind. There’s always time, so I’ll be patienthum hum….
hum hum hum….
Then the rainstorm came, over me
And I felt my spirit break
I had lost all of my, belief you see
And realized my mistake
But time through a prayer, to me
And all around me became stillI need love, love’s divine
Please forgive me now I see that I’ve been blind
Give me love, love is what I need to help me know my nameThrough the rainstorm came sanctuary
And I felt my spirit fly
I had found all of my reality
I realize what it takes‘Cause I need love, love’s divine
Please forgive me now I see that I’ve been blind
Give me love, love is what I need to help me know my nameOh I, don’t bet (don’t bend), don’t break (don’t break)
Show me how to live and promise me you won’t forsake
‘Cause love can help me know my name
Well I try to say there’s nothing wrong
But inside I felt me lying all along
But the message here was plain to see
Believe me…
Love can help me know my name
Heh O no, I’m daydreaming again…but they’re good dreams—edit–
there goes the anonymousity -
We lost to Towson 3-6 yesterday
. It’s okay though; it was a close match and had our #1 guy
singles and #1 girl doubles pull through in their really really close
matches we woulda won. Props to Towson Tennis Club; they were the
better team yesterday. Look like we got some things to work onJust got done my Chinese Exam, which I think I got an A on. Got
one more exam today in Adol. Psych. Can’t wait to get that over
