update
I've been kind of MIA the past week or two cause of homework 
Had a midterm couple weeks ago too and have another next week and it totally doesn't feel like i'm only taking 2 classes. Crazy. Only less than 1 1/2 months left of school...
The big news of the week is that I just bought my tickets to South East Asia for Jan/Feb 
I will be traveling from January 18th - February 6th. Werd up! So excited. I haven't been on a big vacation since August of last year. Also I'll be going to LA for a surprise party for my uncle's 70th Jan 1 - 4 too. Can't wait!!
website update
I changed up my website! Again! This time, I'm going with the full wordpress rather than just using their blog functionality. I moved the /blog URL and the main site is now using WordPress. It's pretty awesome, wordpress is so customizable you can actually mask everything to make it look like a regular website even though it's actually one giant blog with 'Pages'. For example, the main page is actually a page on wordpress I created but using a template such that the comments and feedback are disabled, and the sidebar has been removed. Slick. That means I don't have to use dreamweaver, frontpage, etc. I can simply edit everything from the WordPress administrative dashboard.
I started playing around with it again mainly cause I've been asked to look into revamping the Yale student senate website. I want it to be maintainable by someone who doesn't know much about websites, so WordPress is the natural solution. Another option would be Moveable Typepad but I haven't used it much.
i really need to spend less
Paying rent + mortgage + airfares + everything else is crazy. T___T I need to spend less until December when I don't have to pay rent anymore for my apartment here in New Haven. I've been looking at plane tickets to come home for Thanksgiving and it is crazy expensive. Gonna use miles to get 50% one leg of trip to help bring down the cost.
