5AM Ramblings » pistol http://juchiu.scripts.mit.edu/blog Jason's blog of his day Fri, 17 Jul 2009 12:56:14 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8.3 en hourly 1 Just a normal Tuesday http://juchiu.scripts.mit.edu/blog/2008/12/10/just-a-normal-tuesday/ http://juchiu.scripts.mit.edu/blog/2008/12/10/just-a-normal-tuesday/#comments Wed, 10 Dec 2008 06:11:03 +0000 Jason http://juchiu.scripts.mit.edu/blog/?p=120 I wake up at 10:30 this morning eager to get to class.  It’s not only because today is the last day of Tuesday/Thursday class schedule, but because I get to rip tags off.  On Saturday, Chao and Vivian dragged me to the Cambridgeside Galleria and picked me out some clothes to buy.  Today was going to be the first day I wear them.  I hop out of bed and get ready for class, complete with new outfit.  Tim compliments me as I leave (I can still never tell if he’s being sarcastic or not).

I make it to class.  During my lunch break, I find Vivian in the green lounge and we go to math together.  It’s review so the both of us are bored and just on our computers.  By the end, Vivian was so dead she was falling asleep on her computer.  Aww, Vivian, I know you’re tired, but you can work through the tiredness.  I make it to my pistol class where we actually score our targets.  Of 20 shots, I got a score of 174.  Pretty good!  Good enough to get me second place in the class.  Yay!

At home, a good number of wings found their way down my throat at the dorm-wide study break.  After that, Vivian and I watched (a show that shall not be named in such a public forum)(one of my least well kept secrets) and all I have to say is WAHH!  I got bored and wanted to play on the Xbox, but it has been Red Ring of Deathing, so games have been a vailure recently.  The Wii also needs an update to be able to play Wii Music, which I don’t want to do.  I should stop writing before my writing keeps going further down the drain.

Looking nice because a girl made you is quite nice.  Everyone give in to the wishes of the women in your lives.  Wait… I didn’t just say that!

I go to Anna’s to get a burrito for dinner, and in line, I receive a text.  It’s Najah.  She’s asking if I’m going to go to the carnival.  I had completely forgotten about that!  I finish getting my burrito and walk to Johnson.  I find a Cathy on the phone as I walk, and we go to the 2012 carnival together.  We make it there and find Omar getting some cotton candy.  The cotton candy is a nice sugary purple.

In the actual gym, we find lots of inflatable bouncy things like human foosball and slides, but not that many people.

Disappointingly we leave.  Cathy has her pistol session soon after so I walk with her to the range.  She goes and gets ready to shoot and I head home after a good distraction from my 18.01 studying.

Luckily I had my camera this time to take some pictures.  Camera is a necessity at all times.  Also is learning how the gun works before shooting.
