[di is going to be a baller] ha! yeah right -- if only i could dribble... and pass... and shoot =P no for real, i'm taking this decal class called The Organizational Dynamics of the NBA , which is supposed to address how the NBA functions as an organization from an OB point of view and how the teams work and all that, but really, it's a whole bunch of guys gossiping about the latest news and game scores. yay! fun for di! so here's what i learned this week (and i'm so proud of myself):

- gary payton is from oakland! wow! (thanks steve for filling me in)
- what a salary cap is (and how obscene it is that the nba actually needs one?)
- current trends in the nba: high schoolers going straight into the nba, international players and what they do for the game, large player contracts
- that tim duncan, grant hill, vince carter, and chris webber all have a college diploma =O
- the lakers have the most valuable team in monetary terms (and before you bash me, i said *monetary*, not in play, performance, or anything else)
- that the playoffs are now a 7-game affair (wooo, more games to watch!)

let's see.. what do i hope to get out of the class? to get me a favorite team already! before you know it, i'll be spitting out nba jargon like no other ;o) *teehee* then mebbe i can contribute to some dinner conversations :(

[professor cerf says] "it's more important that you talk loud than if you know anything." that's right -- i'm learning intermediate accounting. to be fair to professor cerf though, he has been teaching this class and others like it for a good 50 years of his life now, so i don't blame him for trying to be realistic about his students. hehe. he's a funny and silly old man who takes 15 minutes to walk down two flights of stairs. everyone say hi to professor cerf when he zooms by.

[reflections on eating cereal] when you're really hungry right, and you don't want to splurge on chocolate or a box of cookies, what do you do? why you dip your hand into a box of healthy Post cereal! *awe yeah* thing is, by the end of my munchfest, i end up having cereal all over my lap.. and my dear laptop =T does anyone know a way of gobbling cereal neatly without putting it into a bowl of milk? =D

[on a final note] di time is important. di needs more di time. as much as i cherish all the time i spend with my near & dear ones, i realized today that i just need some di time. be it di-bathroom-time, di-baking-time, di-sleeping-time. di time is important.
