I'm in the middle of packing right now. I realize I have so many clothes.

A less-than-scientific breakdown of the source of my clothes:
-My sister has bought 50% of my clothes (these are the perks of being a younger brother.)
-My mom has bought 35% of my clothes (most of which I've selected, but she's paid for.)
-7% of my clothes are ministry-related (mostly from church retreats)

-2% each:
Gifts from other people
My own purchases
From my dad's wardrobe
Random stuff

A lot of my clothes aren't the right size, but I still wear some of them anyway because I'm too lazy to get the right size.

It's my last full day in Berkeley, and G1 and I ordered a meal to go from Tako Sushi. We ordered:

-2 rainbow rolls
-1 spicy salmon roll
-1 spicy tuna roll
-1 tempura roll
-3 California rolls
-2 cucumber-avocado rolls

That's $37 worth of food for 2 people. We didn't come close to finishing it, but I still have food coma. I seem to get food coma from every meal I eat nowadays, no matter what it is.

Today's sign that I'm a hardcore Anaheim sports fan:

I didn't let my roommates tell me who won the Ducks-Devils hockey game because I watched the 12 AM-2 AM replay of Game 1 of the Stanley Cup Finals. I couldn't watch the game live because of senior reception, which I thoroughly enjoyed =).

ESPN cut out a lot of the action and there were so many of the same commercials, but it didn't matter-- I had to see as much of the 3-0 Ducks' loss as possible.

Highlights from graduation and my parents' visit to town:

-Listening to Sylvia talk to her mom before graduation and explain her friends' nickname, Spotty, to her mom.
-Seeing my roommates throw rolls of toilet paper as I walked.
-Yelling, "You're the best, mom" into the mic because the guy wouldn't read my name as Tommy "I love you mom" Lee.
-Eating so much good food... Samwon, Zachary's, Jong Gah House, Macaroni Grill...
-Playing video games with my brother-in-law until 2 AM in the morning.

And of course, the post-graduation picture-taking madness... thank you for everyone who made it out. I was blessed so much I can't even put it in words...

It's funny how people use a word twice to emphasize its meaning. For example, "home" usually refers to someone's college dorm or apartment, while "home home" refers to a permanent address.

I'm "done" with finals this semester, and "done done" with finals forever.

Happy Birthday to Mejeld... and since he's a little bit under the weather, let's hope he'll get well soon. For his health, but also for my selfish reasons, since I'm sharing a graduation gown with him.

My graduation gown will be so nasty by the time I wear it. Mejeld will be out in the sun for over 2 hours on Friday, and G1 has an even longer graduation at Greek Theater on Saturday.

Playing Monopoly online has been pretty popular lately. I wonder where the trends will lie next... earlier in the semester it was Speed Scrabble, now Monopoly...

I figure one of the reasons why these games have been so popular is that they're quick to play. I think the Board Game Club needs to come up with a super fast version of Risk.

I had dinner at the DC with a random group of people (Billy Kim, Jason Park, Julie Oh, Katie, Frank, Dave Lee, Basile, and Dennis, who swiped us all in) and we were talking about walking on stage for graduation.

Some ideas that we thought about:
-Dancing. A couple years ago at the Haas graduation a couple guys did the fish line thing...
-Doing cartwheels.
-Taking off the graduation robe and showing off a sports jersey.
-Throwing out candy to the crowd.
-Doing a weird handshake with the professor who congratulates you.

Since the Spurs eliminated the Lakers on Thursday, we now know that the NBA Finals will not include a team from New York, LA, Chicago, or Houston.

That's interesting because those are the top 4 TV markets in America, and 2003 will only be the 2nd time in 24 years that none of these markets will be represented.

I was walking back to the library after dinner with Slum, Carolina, and Jung, and we were talking about Slum's height.

Jung: So do you have to get a specialized bed because you're so tall?
Slum: Actually, do you know the Pythagorean thereom? Where the diagonal is longer than either side? Yeah, well I use what I know... That gives me an extra 6 inches or so. I put my pillow in the corner of bed. You can ask my roommate...

That's awesome... for next year's senior banquet, you guys should get a picture of Slum lying diagonally along his bed while he's asleep.

Sports stadium and arena names that you might confuse for something else:

-Gaylord Entertainment Center (Nashville hockey)
-General Motors Place (Vancouver hockey)
-National Car Rental Center (Florida hockey)
-Staples Center (LA basketball & hockey)
-Tropicana Field (Tampa Bay baseball)

I just went to my last class of college, and I'm at the library for the first time in a month (that's a long time for me).

As I was walking to the library I saw a whole bunch of people out on Memorial Glade just lying down in the sun and enjoying themselves. I think I've only done that a couple times during college and maybe I'll do it again. The weather has been nice, so I should just study outside one of these days.

Hmmm... I might as well do that right now. See ya.

Mother's Day just came and went. So now I just have to take some time to thank my amazing mom for everything that she's meant to me.

I think my mom has been programmed to think that her time is actually not her time, but time to do anything and everything for the rest of the family.

She works 2 jobs to support the rest of our family, cooks a lot of the meals, provides some great humorous relief, and has the cheerful disposition of someone half her age. She's been willing to go to baseball and hockey games with me even though she has no idea what's going on.

She's put up with all the angst of my adolescent years, and always reflects Christ's unconditional love. She's a tireless worker, and is the type of person who will be laying down on the sofa after 12 hours of work and then gladly jump off the sofa and run an errand for me if I ask her.

And while she's not perfect, she's always been a woman of love, faith, and hope. And that's the most important thing. Thanks mom.

Bathroom reading material at Parker House:

-ESPN The Magazine
-Sports Illustrated
-Time
-PC Magazine
-Forbes
-Car and Driver
-this year's FiCB testimony booklet
-the FiCB testimony booklet from 3 years ago
-a couple Calvin and Hobbes books
-a Simpsons book (that summarizes every episode from the first 8 seasons)
-some IKEA catalogs
-some Dell catalogs

All 4 of us at Parker House just went number 2 in our bathroom.

Carroll went, sprayed the air freshener.
Tommy, spray.
G1, spray.

The seat must've been very warm for Basile.

I was reading an e-mail from the college pastor at my home church, Cerritos Presbyterian Church, and was amused by how similar things are at CPC and KCPC.

-Both Pastor Eugene and Dennis (CPC) will be taking their ordination exams on May 16-17 (pray for them!)
-CPC has a senior banquet later this month. Later that weekend they have a gathering with the whole church where they'll play relay races and win practical household supplies.
-CPC is playing in a summer softball tournament (OK, so all Korean churches do this).

Reasons why I prefer to use Yahoo! mail instead of Bearmail when I can't use Outlook:

-There's a 15 minute limit for idle time with Bearmail.
-Bearmail doesn't have rich text formatting.
-Bearmail uses your user name (such as thomasle) instead of your full name when other people receive your messages.
-Deleting messages from Bearmail removes them from the server.
-Sent messages aren't saved in your outbox.
-All messages are marked as new every time you log in, even if you've already read them.
-I'm not going to be able to use Bearmail once my uclink account expires.

I just came back from 4 different meetings today from 7 PM to 2 AM. The weirdest thing is that I'm actually gonna miss this...

It’s time to pass out some senior banquet awards…

Christina Ha

Most likely to use the word “verse” without referring to the Bible
David Slum Kim

Most likely to have spent Friday night rolling up dollar bills into lemon cores
Roy Chung

Most likely to appear in the next Wangta Production
David Wee

Most likely to have lost a bet before senior banquet
Andy Chon

Most likely to enjoy senior reception
Kevin Cho

Seriously, senior banquet was so awesome. Thanks to everyone for such a memorable night and for putting in so much hard work. The place, the playing cards, the skits, the slideshow, the outrageous costumes, I could go on and on, but everything was amazing. It was definitely a great look back at the past 4 years, and a great way to cap off college. Thanks again!

The font used for this text is Tahoma. It's a sans-serif font, meaning that there are no short lines at any of the tips of the letters.

Another example of a sans-serif font is Arial, which I like to use for e-mails because it's very easy to read. Sans-serif fonts are especially useful for signs and other places where legibility is critical.

I use a serif font such as Garamond for most of my word documents. Serif fonts are better for longer texts such as essays. But if we're talking about essays, then usually there's a page requirement and you don't want to pick Garamond because it's such a small font.

Courier New is notorious for being a large font, but other fonts such as Bookman Old Style can also make your essay longer without being as obvious.

The streak is over.

After blogging 24 consecutive days (and 29 of the 30 days in April), blogger's server problems prevented me from posting yesterday. I was constantly refreshing my blogger page all afternoon trying to post something, but it was not to be.
