Impressions...

So my Business Law 320 instructor is a person by name of Dr. Lynn Dymally. A savvy, smart, straight-to-the-point person, Dr. Dymally is the daughter of Congressman Melvyn Dymally, and her son is a talented drummer attending CAMS. (Hopefully, he will do the right thing and come to The Beach when he graduates from the California Academy of Math and Sciences.)

In her opening lecture, after debriefing on how to write a killer case brief, she talks about commerce, and how we are affected by it. We come into contact with it every day. Speaking of commerce, Michael Vick is dinged today by the cops for illegal commerce. That is, the Falcons QB is being questioned for his dog-fighting activities. Uh oh; this can’t be good. Stay tuned for more developments.

My second Management instructor is a guy by the name of Dr. Philip Chong. No, he’s related to Tommy. He is full Chinese, while Dr. Thomas Chong from the University of Alberta is half. He is one of the assistant deans at the CBA, along with Dr. Nelson Horn. Actually, he is an interim associate dean (so it says on his syllabus), so this means the CBA is in transition. And he has a strong accent, so I guess it makes me feel a bit easy.

Anyway, I can’t drop this one. I had a bad experience with Sal Kukalis, and I am not keen to have that happen again. The hell I will, with 425 coming in the Fall! With everything crammed up, I’m due to get my portfolio started after this session is over.



Fruits for the Summer




Everyone likes to eat something sweet and fresh. So, with Spring going through its course, Summer is coming very soon. Hot days, warm nights, and lots of lovemaking underneath the stars require some fruit to fit the season. In a little bit of a deviance from the usual posts I make on BoBA and LoLi, I would like to make a list of my favorite fruits to ea during the summer. A top 10 list, if you will, in no particular order.

1. Watermelon. Glamorized by many anime classics (whacking the watermelon on the beach), this large green wonder is a perfect refreshing treat when sliced up. It quenches you, and makes you feel good. Make sure you take the seedless varieties, if you can find them.
2. Pineapple. A spiky wonder that lends a Hawaiian touch. Simply take of the crown, and slice it in chunks or rings. Maui Gold is my favorite variety. There ar actually different types of pineapple, from red ones, to purple ones. Look it up on Wiki.
3. Cantaloupe. I like to eat this when the fruit is shaved into strings, and placed in a pitcher with water, ice and sugar, then placed in the fridge. Who needs iced tea anyway!?
4. Strawberries. Although I like to eat this in the Spring, strawberries taste fantastic in the summertime as well. Take off the green top, gather them in a bunch and add cream to it.
5. Oranges. A handy snack. The color reflects the season.
6. Fuji apples. I know some people like brands like Gala, Granny Smith, and even that evil apple known as Red Delicious (ugh), but Fuji apples are what real apples should taste like. Try it. You’ll get addicted to it.
7. Nashi pears. Another thirst quencher. Some people also like a Chinese version, called Ya Li pears. That is unique in its own right, but inferior to Nashi, straight from Japan.
8. Bananas. For those of you whose minds are fixated-no, make that hellbent on fellatio-infested fornication this summer, this is the fruit for you. And it’s got a potassium kick when you at it in bunches. Go ape-crazy on this one.
9. Mangoes. Messy fruit this is, undelicious this isn’t! Enjoy this luxurious treat wherever and wherever you can get your hands on it.
10. Coconuts. Might be a bit fattening for some who are obsessed with being anorexic, but otherwise, this is a no-brainer. Enjoy!
