slept in

So today, I slept in.
I probably was woken up by my ipod + cellphone at 7am but I probably reset it unconsciously. SIGH.
I woke up at 9:37am and I freaked out.. Quickly tried to find my supervisor's office number but couldn't find it so I tried his cellphone. Didnt pick up, he was doing a presentation. Then I tried searching for the office number again and found it in my binder... Thank goodness, and one of my coworkers picked up and I told him that I slept in and will be there asap. Should I invest in a better alarm clock!? arugh. Anywho, when I got to the office I felt kinda bad. It was 11am by then. But they said it was okay... I insisted on staying later than 5:30 though. I really have a whole lot of reading to do so I can code soon. :S yeah. Another thing I wanted to say is, my coworkers are crazy! They work till really late every day Im pretty sure. When I left at 7:30pm today, most of my team was still there. I'm not sure if it's the same everyday since today was different they were at a 3 hour presentation from 3-6. But yeah. They're pretty hardcore. :S There was also a practice presentation in english today so I was able to understand it. Research is pretty cool. I'm not sure if the researching companies in canada/vancouver work the same way, but if I really am going into research, then I hope I can do something along the lines of machine learning, because it's a vast and interesting field. Computer vision rocks! but it's difficult. :S And If i want to take a machine learning class at ubc it means taking an extra math and stats course.. Ahh and graduating later. I still have time to think...

After I got home today, I made myself some rice again so I can finish up my left over curry. It didnt burn this time but I dont think I cooked it for long enough. I was hungry... And also, I think it's inevitable that rice will stick to the pot. Whatevs. dont have the money to buy one. Speaking of money, my supervisor told me I'm going to get my plane ticket money, bus money, money on the train from narita airport to my dorm on the first day, and my part salary for May on June 15. Wahhoo. Exciting. I'll have lots of spending money. :D Travel!!
Then on the 20th I'm getting my June salary. Yup. There's also going to be many parties this month. (drinking parties) because everyone's celebrating finishing their presentations and such. I'm also invited to my supervisor's party.. he didnt know what type of party to name it so he named it "invitation party" lol. funnay. But yah, I still have that ice wine so I hope it's sufficient.

Kyoto tomorrow!!! I'm going to get reimbursed for the shinkansen and hotel money as well. Sweet. Free trip to Kyoto, but only for 2 days. My supervisor said we will visit some temple there on Thursday if we have time, then the conference on Friday. He told me to talk to as many exhibitionists as I can and write a report on all of them! (well not all but, as many as I can). YAP going to get my laundry, shower, wash dishes and sleep asap. Dont want myself sleeping in again. Grr.
