Continued from last Thursday, I was in library,
looking for articles I can use. I did some work for my friend in the
morning, swam in the afternoon, spent time in library and had dinner with
friends at Sumo Restaurant. I think it was a prom day so I have seen so many
kids wearing something fancy. I was told that those kids do not tip so
waiters and waitresses have to add 15% to the price. Hey, grow up, kids...
Windy but sunny and it was a nice day. Expected to be sunny again tomorrow. |

Sunny Sunday. Went to wash my car, did grocery
shopping. I will be borrowing a room in basement of my friend's house for
next several months and I checked out the place in the afternoon. It was big
enough and quite nice. Breezy whole day and a little cold. Stayed in my lab
until 8:00pm |

My computer at work acting up funny and I cannot
run any programs. I was out of the office and seems someone tried to crack
it open, too (I think mine is hit by the Sasser one... I called up tech

soon. AE737 Exam #4 |

the fridge door. My eggs and jam were spoiled. This is fourth time he's
done it. Swam in the morning. Had lunch at

I got after
the marathon back in last October. After got back my room, I took shower and
headed back to Downtown to take more pictures. One of my friends came to visit
other
friends in Wichita. We had dinner at Mama San's restaurant Later stopped by Townewest

Mother's Day. A bit cloudy and windy, but it was a fine day.
Spent time with my friends around noon. We cooked Okonomiyaki, which is a
kind of a pancake we eat in Japan. The meat cutter at
Dillon's was out for his lunch and I
could not have the eat cut so I just took the chunk to my friend's house,
and we took care of it. It was good to have lunch with friends. |

Going to baseball game at 7:00pm. Since I did not check out on time, I
was late for the opening but I watched between the 2nd and 4th innings. I
bought a ticket yesterday but I guess I packed it in somewhere so I had to
use general admissions. I
have not been to the stadium since 1996. I have not seen the new look of the
stadium before so I was quite impressed. This was the last home game for the
season. Shockers won the game by 8-7 against Oklahoma
 Shockers

Took a shower at Heskett Center before heading home and

on the Kellogg near I-135 intersection a lot these days. I have seen a Lexus
got pulled over yesterday morning, and today was a red Pontiac (the female
driver was arguing with an officer outside of vehicle.) Rained in the
evening through the night.
Commuting after work is so boring... (South bound on I-135) |

it... (I also got a free cookie) Came home around 10:00pm |
