The World of Little Little Bird

I'm moving to a new apartment today. Packing, moving, cleaning, unpacking and preparing my trip back to Pittsburgh are on my list to do this weekend. hiahia

Show off a little bit~~~ 

Though there is still no progress on my UPS package, my RP rebounded high this week. AMD is a major sponsor of the Discovery Channel Pro Cycle Team. After Lance Armstrong's fantastic 7th win at Tour de France, AMD held a celebration cake party yesterday. Of course, there were raffle prizes. I was so lucky to get the first prize, a Discovery Channel Pro Cycle Team jersey autographed by Lance Armstrong. Yeah!!!

I don't know it is from when that RPWT became popular in China. I got RPWT these days too.
I applied Charles Schwab visa card for the $150 bonus (see my post two months ago). Most people received that and claimed it was the easiest $150 ever. However, I haven't. I called Schwab, and was told that it had been shipped out already. It looks to me that UPS has lost the package since no tracking information is in their system. Sigh. To get this bonus, I've already paid $54 for my carelessness (see my last post). What troubles me more is that this is the second time in a month that my delivery was lost. Last time, DHL lost my valuable package full of gift cards. I decide to accumulate my RP from now on.

I applied a new credit card the other day. I made a purchase of 30 bucks on that card and set up an online payment from my checking account. This morning, I found that the payment was returned. After calling the credit card company, I was told that I screwed up my bank account. Damn it! It never happened before. Now I am charged a $39 check return fee and a $15 late fee. I could gain 10 pounds with this money on potato chips. :(

It has been more than 2 months since I played ball in UT last time. Yesterday eveing, I went to UT with my roommie. We played table tennis, racquetball and badminton. Well, I was happy to see that I maintained my table tennis and racquetball skills. But I returned to a badminton idiot when I played it for the first time. Practice is important.
It rained this week thanks to Dennis perhaps. Anyway, it rained. The temperature goes down and my car got flushed in the rain. Yeah.
It seems stupid. When I go to work in weekdays, I hope the weekends coming soon. However, when weekends do come, I feel like, darn, I miss working. That somehow illustrates my dull life here. 55555~

I'll be back to Pittsburgh for my thesis defense in Early August. I'll arrive in Pittsburgh on August 1st and come back to Austin on the 7th. Kelvin will be in Pittsburgh for his proposal too. Yeah, we are scheduled in the same day.
I've been working darn hard on my thesis this week. I'll keep working hard on it for the next four weeks. Hope everything clicks.

Writing thesis on Saturday...

Will write thesis on Monday...
What a darn long weekend.
