Saturday my boss Carolyn took us out to a really nice seafood buffet for our company Christmas dinner. It was good, but I was disappointed in the lobster. Actually, the catfish was the best fish by far, suprisingly enough. It was really fun, Carolyn is the best boss I could ever ask for.
Today I registered for next semester. I was a little bit upset because I had to wait until today to do it even though there's been online registration available to the upperclassmen for almost a full week already, but I went and spoke to a couselor and got everything worked out. I'm signed up for 19 credits, which seems like a lot, but 6 of them are Korean, which shouldn't be too hard, and 4 of them are Japanese 101, which should also be pretty easy. Plus, if it ends up being too much, I can always just drop one after the first week or whatever.

Friends
The past week my friends Mike, Matt, and Craig came to visit. I felt like a bad host at times, because I don't have a car, so I couldn't really show them around,(we ended up renting a car) and I had to go to class for the first 2 days, because UH only gives 2 days of break for Thanksgiving. But, I don't think those guys really cared that much about that stuff, it seems they had fun anyway. Next time anyone comes to visit I'll do better though, I swear.
We had fun hanging out at the beach, Hanauma bay, the Dole pineapple farm, Polynesian Cultural Center, and the swap meet. It was actually really fun to just hang out with the guys again, it didn't really matter what we did.You know what? It's kinda weird that I've only been around enough to hang out with my friends for fewer than 4 months of the past year, but when we get together, it's pretty much the exact same as it always has been. We're all pretty blessed to have such good relationships with one another I guess. I'll post some pics of the trip later.
So today I found a few cool websites. The first is www.studentsreview.com. I wish I'd found it when I was in high school. It has a bunch of surveys from students of over 3000 colleges in the U.S.(and perhaps elsewhere) detailing what they like, and don't like about their school. Interesting stuff. BYU has a satisfaction rating of B+ which puts it right alongside Harvard, and Arizona State(go figure). My current school, however, is a C+, and over 60 percent of the students said if they could do it over again they would choose another school. hmmm...
Ok, the second website is a bit funnier. It's an emo band name generator. You simply type in your name, and it comes up with some kind of ridiculous name perfect for your own personal emo band. Everyone should try it, my emo band's name is Without My Vanilla Satellite. It could work...
