Well, it is official, I have change my major from Business Administration to Finance. I think it's a better degree and the classes I will be taking I feel will give me a better understanding of the business environment when it comes to finance. Otherwise I would've just taken some general classes in different areas of business and probably not liked them. Because I changed majors, I had to add 2 more classes bringing up my total to finish out my degree to 10 classes i.e., 30 units. The course that I have to pick from sound interesting, Investments, Advanced Corp. Finance, Intl' Finance, Commercial Bank Mgmt, Personal Finance, New Venture Finance, Financial Statement Analysis, Intermediate Acct, and Financing Real Estate.
I guess the only downer is that I wont be getting done in spring but oh well stuff happens and I am not going to get all stressed out over finishing in spring although that would've been nice. I look at the big picture and see that yes, I am going to be getting done, and most likely in the summer which is only like 2 extra months added onto what I will already be attending. Plus I wont really be stressing out on stuff like I started to earlier this semester before dropping a class which I posted student comments about here. The next big thing will be to start thinking about what in the world will I do once I graduate? Quite frankly I don't have the slightest clue!!!! But I will figure something out.

Rate My Professor
Here are some comments by fellow students about 2 professors on ratemyprofessors.com, one of which I took a class with over summer and came close to beating the shit out of and another who's class I just dropped yesterday. Enjoy the comments, I can't get enough myself. It's good to laugh, I think what will make it more amusing is that some of these comments are about a priest. So does that change the way you will think about it now?
-How to keep this clean while still making it clear to potential victims to steer clear.......? STAY AWAY! Taking a class with this guy would be, well, like walking into a high-class brothel and picking out the fat ugly chick holding a sign above her head that reads, "Cheap! Have AIDS." The question is WHY?!! Do not take this one, DO NOT!!!!!
-This is the hardest class you'll take @ USD. It was the absolute worst time of my life. This class will make you want to kill yourself.
-This class sucked. The worst part: class material doesn’t apply to 99.99% of the business majors.
-RUN RUN RUN I TELL YOU
-i had to study for the midterm all of spring break like a damn loser just to pull a B in that****. so much homework, this was the hardest class i took in college. i wanted to kill myself.
-Do yourself a favor and don't even consider taking this course. The work is so hard it makes you want to cringe and scream and shout and yell at the top of your lungs **** you **** **** cock
-He was horrible. The only teacher that I ever regret taking at my whole four years at USD. He is not worth it at all. He is horrible!!!!
-This is the most horrible class I have ever taken at USD. It is absolutely impossible to satisfy what he wants you to regurgitate on an essay or in a journal. His exams are impossible and the harder you study the more you realize the time out of your life you are wasting.
-He was the worst teacher I have had at USD. He expects you to memorize everything that comes out of his mouth. He yells at you for anything, HE wants to talk, if you try to say something be prepared to be corrected,his journals are ridiculous, too much busy work,the whole class rolled their eyes at him and yawned,IT WAS TORTURE! unfair grader RUN!
-He's an enormous dick who could stand in front of the class for hours and talk about anything under the sun. His lectures are scattered beyond belief becasue he is reading them from papers that are probably as old as any kid taking his class.Not worth taking unless taking pass fail. Ridiculous class

Ice Cream vs. Gelato
Last night on my way home, I decided to stop by and pick up some ice cream for my parents. You can either choose to stop by your local grocery store and purchase some ice cream in a bucket or you can get real creative and have a worldly gastronomic experience. For me the choice was simple, the latter rather than former. Here in San Diego, there are many location where one can pick-up some Gelato, but the person on the other side of the counter might not know jack about what they are serving. I suggest going to Little Italy and stopping by Cafe Zucchero's! Cafe Zucchero, which is owned and opperated by the Busalacchi family who is set to open their 6th restaurant Via Lago located at Village Walk in the East Lake community, all of the desserts are made fresh by Pastry Chef Frank Busalacchi.
Gelato is a must have Italian experience. Many ice-cream shops pride themselves in making their own gelato by displaying a sign Produzione Propria. There are two categories of flavors: creme (e.g. chocolate, vanilla, creme caramel, pistacchio, hazelnut, etc.) and frutta (e.g. just every fruit). My suggestion? Ask for Misto Creme or Misto Frutta, a choice that will get you as many different flavors as possible for your money.

Italian food misconceptions
I will briefly clarify some typical mistakes and misinterpretations of Italian cuisine all around the world.
- The Italian soda is definitely something that has been made up in the States.
- The American "Italian dressing" is another myth to bust. The original Italian dressing is simply extra-virgin olive oil, vinegar, salt and pepper. You'll find all of these ingredients on the tables of every Italian restaurant, so that anybody can make his/her own dressing.
- In Italy peperoni (yes, with one 'p') means peppers, while salame piccante means pepperoni.
- Italians do not use lots of garlic (especially garlic powder on the pizza) as is commonly thought in the USA. Italians do use garlic alright, but in reasonable proportions.
- Pasta Alfredo, Alfredo Sauce or, Salsa Alfredo, is more of a myth than a reality and you are not going to find it in any real Italian recipe books. There is a restaurant in Rome which makes the original fettuccine Alfredo, but that is made with butter and Parmesan cheese. The only product that somehow resembles Salsa Alfredo (Alfredo Sauce) is called panna (which is a thicker version of whipping cream). I suggest you do not ask for Alfredo Sauce when you are in a restaurant because the vast majority of the people will not know what you are talking about.
- Last but not least: you won’t find macaroni and cheese anywhere in Italy. What you’ll find is maccheroni which is one of the hundreds of types of (short) pasta.

I have reached over 100 postings
I just realized that I have reached over 100 postings on my cancer blog. Not that anyone would really care, but I do.... Check it out and read, perhaps you might learn something, maybe you'll just realize something that you already knew, like how wacked out it must be that I am not in the medical field but I will read journals and article reviews written by physicians for physicians. Really facinating stuff I tell you, I think everyone should read this stuff. Good brain food, hmmm donuts bad, brain food goood! =)
Exhaustion
Sorry for not getting back to you about what happened the other day... I meant to get to it yesterday after I had returned home from school. But I really must have been tired or something was wrong because I got home at 6p, took a nap, woke-up around 8ish, watched an hr of tube and went to bed.
Well anyway enough about me sleepin... I told you in the last post about this dipshit who was supposed to be doing work but was instead out drinking the night away. Well I asked what happened and the answer I got was one of the lamest one's I have ever heard. He said "dude, you know I spent the whole day at school and like I didn't eat anything so I really couldn't function. So I went out to get some food and I started to feel better and some friends asked me to meet them somewhere and I got side tracked. Sorry."
I thought this was pretty funny, I really don't care about the fact that this moron didn't do the work, my biggest thing is this shit that we are working on isn't due for as an assignment for quite some time. My biggest issue is that he lied, and I can't freaking stand that kind of shit. Oh well, what the hell is getting pissed off going to get me, absolutely freakin nothing. On a good note, I ordered my financial calculator yesterday. The HP 17bll+, it's pretty sweet I must admit. I love when fellow students ask why I would be willing to spend more money on a calculator if I could get one that is like 3 models old for a third of the price. Hell, I can't believe that lots of kids these days don't understand the fact that it is simple business. If you can outsource your work to someone or something which can do it faster and cheaper than you can the initial expense is worth it because you'll make the money back in no time.
Anyway, I'm do for another cup of coffee, and I have CNBC on the tube in the other room so I guess I need to get back and watch some news for today. Arrivaderci!

Today's youth?
I must admit, I am not the smartest man nor have I ever claimed to be, but, but.... What in the hell is the matter with today's youth? Here it is 11:33 in the evening on Monday night, the first week of school. I just got home from a night at the bar to watch the game with some real good friends and I'm checking in on some idiots who were supposed to do some school related work for a team that I am working with for a project.
Instead you know what in the hell do I find out???? This dip shit is out drinking and posting pictures on the web via this social networking site, which will remain nameless at this point. Now I did my job this afternoon but this prick was supposed to work on something this evening. I will hit this idiot up tomorrow and find out what is going on. I can't wait to hear this excuse! I mean, this is the 3rd time in a 1 year period which I catch a student lying about their work. These dumbasses are posting what they are doing on these damn social networking sites... and yes I can verify that the pics are today. The son of a bitch is wearing the exact same clothing he was wearing today on campus. Freakin idiot thinks everyone else is stupid except him.
HAHA!!! This is just to much, I swear I am gettin to old for this shit, I mean, its funny but hell, I get tired of seeing how retarded these idiots act and then expect no one to find out. I will update you all tomorrow after I speak with this dingleberry! I can't wait to hear the excuses!

Daily Wisdom
Form is suffering. The cause and condition for the arising of form is also suffering. As form has originated from what is suffering, how could it be happiness?

Today's update
Today the Gorillas 1oU & 11U teams are playing in the Triple Crown So. Cal Championships up in Poway.
Yesterdays Question: Cathy has six pairs of black gloves and six pairs of brown gloves in her drawer. In complete darkness, how many gloves must she take from the drawer in order to be sure to get a pair that match? Think carefully!!
Answer:
13. She could possibly take out 6 black left hand gloves and then 6 brown left hand gloves, the next one would have to be either the right hand or left hand match.
I'm kind of exhausted this morning, for it was a long day and an even longer night yesterday. But hell, back to the grind stone. I've only started on my first cup of coffee and I think that by number two I'll be up and at it. Perhaps at that time I will have something interesting to write about besides just filling up useless space with words that have no meaning as I currently am. I guess me doing this, is the equivalent of doodling on paper. I don't know, hmmmm.... Is it possible to doodle on the computer??? I must try to find this out!
