Delayed

It's been a crazy semester, like... stupid crazy.  As you can see, I haven't touched this blog in a godawful long time.  Then again, having two jobs, 18 credit hours and work with the International Student Council plus AMSISU does take a toll on you.

This kinda has to be a review post, as the WiFi here in the Des Moines Airport (I'll get to that later) has a time limit of 45 minutes (I have about 39 as we speak).

So looking back at the semester, I made homemade wine.  The first attempt was really lousy, having about a quarter yield from what I started with.  The second attempt was more elaborate, having proper filtration and better proportions of yeast to juice.  Currently I have three bottles (two white, and one red) aging for my 21st birthday when I return.  Exciting stuff.  Now, I'm not an alcoholic or something, as this is purely for science, as I'm super happy to see concepts put to real-life scenarios.

This was my initial test yield, which was pretty sad, haha!

I've also had the luxury of having a new student make some kaya.  It was pretty close to the real deal so I'm extremely pleased.

Besides that, I've learned more and more about myself along the way, which is great, as I can be a heartless idiot at times.

I had also ran for presidency for the Malaysians.  Sadly, I botched both my speech and political correctness and lost out to the previous VP.  Still, it was a good experience, and I'll definitely bounce back stronger.

I also was left jobless after Career Fair, as there weren't many companies to start.  Oh well, I might just look other states where my friends can host me while I intern/ work.

This festive season I've also bought a lot of gifts for friends, as it's about damn time I give back.  And it was great to get hugs from everyone, that's all I ever wanted :]

Hmm... what else have I done?  Hosted my best friends from Texas and had a banging Christmas potluck. We had 2 v 2 FIFA 14 matches, and I'm really happy that I played really well.  It was great to see old friends again, eventhough some were even just acquaintances.

I'm also flying back home.  Because of some family issues, as well as the fact that everyone is finally free for the first time.  I didn't tell many people as I don't want others to feel bad.  But hey, ce's la vie.

I think that's mostly all for this sem.  I think my limit is about there.  So yeah, take care peeps!
