2 meals at Todai a day? Ho ho ho~~ I don't think so....
Even thou I really LOVE to dine at Todai, but I seriously don't think my stomach is "strong enough" for 2 all-you-can-eat meals a day.
The one in downtown Seattle is pretty neat, except that the items provided are somewhat limited. :( Oh by the way, the waiters are so cute there...hee hee hee!!
Happy to see Eva today, and we hungout with Jane, Wei, and Ken. Great evening. (Sorry, OBS'....I'm way too tired for another event tonight + I have to finish up that darn statement....I'll see you guys at our next meeting lo!!)
OK!! My next challenge would be: get the statement done + have 2 meals at Todai on 12/6. (hahahaha.....)

Happy Turkey Day!!!!
Tim just brought back a HUGE turkey + cranberry sauce + stuffing + mashed potato + potato gravy + dinner bread + sweet potato casserole + pops......
GOD!! How can we finish all that? There goes my figure >.<" Looks like we can eat it all the way until Christmas.......
Anyway, I'm gonna go bake the turkey later, and I'll post some of the stunning photos!!

My score for the quantitative part is as twice as my verbal part in my practice test.
God, I'm so screwed.

Our scholarship auditions are being held Friday, January 30, 2004. You need to either plan to attend these auditions or mail in your videotaped audition by January 15. If it is mailed after the 15th, it will not be considered at all.
All your Graduate School application materials must be submitted to the Graduate School by November 1 due to the length of time it takes to process international applications. The remaining application materials required by the School of Music must be postmarked by January 15. This includes your videotaped audition and the scholarship application. If you do not have satisfactory TOEFL scores, you will not be considered for admission to the University.
The Graduate School did receive your on-line application and your application fee on 11/24/03. My office has only received on letter of recommendation. Please see online info for guidelines on submitting application materials to the Graduate School and to the School of Music.
If you cannot understand what your program replies you, I strongly suggest that you should re-consider if you really come to UW or not. I'm not teasing you, just kinda worried about how you can survive in this community........
Being alive in UW in one piece is WAY TOUGHER then you thought, trust me.
(Geez~~ I wonder what your TOEFL is like.....)

All of a sudden, "Mimi" is changed into "Mini"......
I don't mind people changing my name, but can you please at least pick a more sophisticated name, such as Magnolia, Myfanwy or Myrna?? And Mini is not even a name..... :(
==========================================================
Mimi:
Traits: People say Mimi is a stylish Frenchwoman who is rich, pampered, stuck up, and prone to tantrums.

Now, That was amazing~~
I went to Eunice's first annual concert, and that was excellent!! It's exactly like what we saw in Sister Act, the R&B + rock type of gospel. I was the only Asian while Laura and Matthew are the only white there at the church tonight.
I have to have to have to say that every black person is a amazing singer!! Each of them are like way lot better than 張惠妹 or 五月天........
That chorus was very very impressive, and I'd definitely go get a CD if they had one!!
I tried to record some of the songs they had, but you may not be able to appreciate the music thru that link, please just blame it on my stupid crapy NOKIA.

STAND UP: You are a natural stand-up comedian. You
watch the news with people, and when you give
your opinions, people start laughing. They are
not laughing at you, they are laughing because
what you say is so TRUE. The world is a very
funny place, full of natural comedy. All you do
is repeat various humorous things that you
notice from everyday life. Your unique
perspective on the world is what makes you so
funny. Of all the various comedy types, you may
be the funniest of them all!
How funny are you?

Went to a seminar with the ESS this afternoon, and MY GOD!! I was like the only Asian + the only girl + the only one who is below 40 years old at the seminar!! The average age for the audiences was like 45~50 years old, and mainly prof-level. Now I feel so honored + proud of myself to join the seminar. :)
It's a relatively interesting subject, (okok~~ I know all of you think I'm a freaky geek in this area. >.<") and got a chance to look deeply into how we testing the Earth as well as learning some fancy ESS terms.
Interesting!! =======================================================
Why Subduction Zone Earthquakes?
A Deep Relationship with Metamorphism
Bradley R. Hacker, University of California, Santa Barbara
New thermal-petrologic models of subduction zones show a correlation between the patterns of intermediate-depth seismicity and the locations of predicted hydrous minerals: earthquakes occur in subducting slabs where dehydration is expected, and they are absent from parts of slabs predicted to be anhydrous. A subducting oceanic plate can consist of four petrologically and seismically distinct layers.
1) The hydrated, glassy and fine-grained basaltic upper crust is dehydrating under equilibrium conditions and producing earthquakes driven by dehydration embrittlement; earthquakes in this layer are restricted to rocks with hydrous minerals. Once the rocks have transformed to nearly anhydrous eclogite, seismicity in this layer stops.
2) The coarse-grained gabbroic lower crust is generally anhydrous, but contains local areas of substantial hydration produced either at mid-ocean spreading centers or during bending at the outer rise. Hydrous rocks in this layer undergo dehydration under equilibrium conditions and produce earthquakes, but the bulk of the gabbro layer transforms aseismically to eclogite at depths well beyond equilibrium because of the kinetic hindrance of solid-solid transformations and the reduced hydration state. Seismicity in upper seismic zones thus receives some contributions from the lower crust, but comes dominantly from the upper crust. Because the thermal gradient in the upper seismic zone is inverted in most subduction zones, and therefore the potential for dehydration increases upward, the seismicity begins at the top of the slab and then descends slowly toward the slab Moho with increasing subduction depth.
3) The uppermost mantle is locally hydrated down to depths of ~40 km in cold slabs as a result of bending at the outer rise; it could also be hydrated by H2O supplied from dehydration reactions at greater depth. The hydrous portions dehydrate under equilibrium conditions and produce earthquakes. Because the temperature in the lower seismic zone increases downward, and therefore the potential for dehydration increases downward, the seismicity begins at modest depth in the slab and then ascends slowly toward the slab Moho with increasing subduction depth.
4) The remaining, anhydrous mantle transforms sluggishly and aseismically from spinel- to garnet-bearing assemblages.
This hypothesis explains several important features of intermediate-depth seismicity:
i) the earthquakes occur at locations in the slab that correspond to predicted dehydration reactions;
ii) the observed low-velocity waveguides that persist to depths greater than the equilibrium transformation of gabbro ? eclogite exist because equilibrium transformation occurs in the upper crust, while the coarse, dry lower crusts persists metastably to greater depth;
iii) the upper and lower zones of double seismic zones result from dehydration reactions in the crust and mantle, respectively;
iv) the gap between the upper and lower zones of double seismic zones reflects slower and/or later reaction in the cold core of the slab.

Wahahaha~~~ Mimi's invited to a Frat party again...
The theme for this time will be "Middle School Slumber Party", which means we will be dressing pajamas, plus watching some kid's movies and drinking Daiquiris and Pina Coladas.
It's gonna be hella fun!!
(But too bad my theme of the party will be GRE......)

One of the best thing about getting a degree from an US school is that ---- you are exempted from TOEFL (Test of English as a Foreign Language) and TSE (Test of Spoken English). The only thing you need will be GRE (Graduate Record Examination).
Thank God that I will be exempted from those waste-of-time-and-money tests!! (As a matter of fact, I didn't know tat all that there is a TSE test like that......)
Anyways, seems like grad school is around the corner ONLY IF I can get good grades in my GRE. :P
Finger cross!!

Somehow, I feel deriving equations are whole lot easier than doing the hairy calculations. It took me only 30 minutes to derive 5 equations, but it took me 3.5 hours to do 10 calculations. I guess I'm more like a concept-person, and I'm pretty comfortable with playing around with symbols.
Anyway....I'd better go sleep now (even thou I feel so awake), otherwise I'll be welcoming students who have 7:30am classes.
Nite' nite, Seattle!!

人就是這樣
人在美國, 心在台灣
嘴裡吃的是TV dinner, 心裡想的是蚵仔麵線
眼睛看的是金髮碧眼, 夢裡見的是龍的傳人
剛才跟豪哥通了個電話
500年不見
都要結婚了
他楊儒還是本色不改
對我"教誨"了整整40分鐘
為我分析學業, 職場, 人生規劃......
果然, 大哥就是大哥
獨到的見解
針針見血
老實說
挺感人的
有多少人會跟你說這些!?
一付是在討論自己的人生
面對的是自己的問題
多年不見的老朋友
友情歷久彌新呀~~
豪哥, 謝謝你!!
祝你結婚快樂!!!

Was it last Tuesday that I got the flu shot? Was it?
Boy~~ It still hurts when I raise my arm.......
Anyways~~
今天我去Bagley (chem building) 交作業, 沒想到我一推開大門走出Bagley的時候, 就被一群人盯上....(將!! 有殺氣!!) 等我走下台階, 就被4~5個身穿黑色tank-top style 夾克 + 帶著"耳機麥"的人包圍. 我還以為發生什麼大事說, 哎呀~~ 原來是我過人的氣質, 出眾的外表, 飄逸的秀髮, 深邃的眼神, 舉手投足間的巨星風采, 深深地吸引了眾人的眼神~~~~
啊!! 他們竟然找我幫他們拍電視劇啦~~~~
唉~~ 只可惜我的檔期太滿, "ㄍㄚ"不過來....下次吧, 下次吧!!
wahahahahahahahaha!!!!
不過, 想不到Bagley Hall前面的爛噴水池(夏天的游泳池)也是一個夢幻場景喔!?

原本想說拿拿 JAPAN 342 for fun, 還可以拉高GPA, 沒想到竟然比我的p-chem還低!!

而且, 語文這種東西, 一但被當成一種研究, 就一點樂趣都沒有了!!

OK, I guess so-called "smart ass" by Prof. Keller can be ME partially....partially....
I think I really did finished the whole test (which Prof. Keller didn't expect any of us to), and my score is way~ above the average (41.3/73 = 57%)!! YES!! I aced it, I aced it!! (That made my day!!)
And the inorganic wasn't that bad either, but we'll see how that goes.
I have my blood donated today since I want to make myself useful in a way after the mid-term bombs. So I did.
Donating blood in this kind of weather is not a good thing to do. Seriously. So cold..... And I even feel colder after donation, probably psychologically, but I was really really cold after donation, and I actually felt black out for a while. GOD!!
But 1 donation can trade peace and quiet for 2 months. Hahahaha~~ But I'm so tired now, maybe I'll go to bed later.

高中和大學的差別.................
高中一天可以背一百個單字，大學一天可以忘一百個單字。
高中一天可以投一百個籃球，大學一天跑不到一百公尺。
高中一天坐在電腦前面不到一小時，大學一天睡覺不到一小時。
高中只有打球打到腰酸背痛，大學只有玩電腦玩到腰酸背痛。
高中一分鐘可以打十個字，大學一分鐘可以打六十個字。
高中一個禮拜上四十四堂課，大學一個月上四十四堂課。
高中月考分數100分，大學期中加期末考100分。
高中上兩天課就記得全班同學的名字，大學上兩年也記不得。
高中買少快一人出10塊，大學看少快只想到網路上找scan版。
高中每週買一張新專輯，大學每天抓一張新專輯。
高中買盜版人家會跟你借來聽，大學買盜版連室友都會笑你是白痴。

Hey!! Go watch that Blue Gate Crossing (2002) if you haven't. It's one of the best movie of the year.
It talks mainly about a high school girl's gender identity, in the gray area of being heterosexual and homosexual. She can't figure out whether it's girls she likes or boys she likes. A relationship could have been developed but kinda failed because of her crisis.
I personally think it's a quite educational film since it really protraits deeply about our social phenomenon........ a touchy topic people usually aviod to talk about.
Anyway....you should go see it if you haven't.
