What a depressing season opener for the GS Warriors =(
Stephen Jackson...failed inbound when they were down 1 with 28.7 seconds left in the fourth quarter. What a crappy end to a good game.

Complex Analysis
So it's 1:05 AM, and I still feel numb and cold from my Complex Analysis midterm examination. Today was a day of many firsts. First time it snowed this Fall/Winter, first time I've ever been the last person in a class taking an exam, first time I've ever gone over the time limit, etc. Complex Analysis owns me. If you are curious, here is an introduction: Complex Analysis at Wikipedia.
Enough about that (and schoolwork in general). I love guitaring and my guitar and other nice guitars. I'm learning how to play Satin Doll (it's famous?), and it feels really great to be challenged and to learn new stuff on the guitar. Very exciting. In other news, I've narrowed my prospective job possibilities: TFA math teacher, hopefully near home; lawyer, currently considering immigration law; or, if there are any jobs left, marketing and strategy consulting. I feel really behind on the last one due to my lack of economics and business background, but my dad keeps on telling me not to worry cause I'm such an attractive job candidate. Man I wish I could believe that.
I guess not much has been going on besides that and schoolwork. Man my life here is boring haha. That's what midterms do to you right. As a sidenote, for anyone at home who reads this, I just found out our favorite Ninja Turtle, Al Harrington, now has his own brand of shoes in the vein of Starburys. I really want to get a pair now, and they are those "inexpensive to support the kids" shoes, which I really respect (not like Shaq who doesn't even wear his shoes). Plus, finally sweet cheap shoes in Warriors colors. Holler at me if you want to go to a game over Winter break. Also, I'm considering skipping two days of class before Thanksgiving to go down to Philly early to see the Warriors play the Sixers on that Sunday. Too ridiculous?

Update!
I haven't updated in a while...sorry guys. Midd is busy and when it's not, all I want to do is sleep. And last week, watch a lot of the Lord of the Rings trilogy movies (since I don't really read and all. Anyway, this post will be an answer to both of the following questions: How are you Angelo? and What have you been up to?
I am good; we are in the process of finishing up our Fall Break, which unfortunately for me was quite unproductive. This last week I slept a lot more (averaged 8 hours a night!), watched some movies, led worship and spoke at large group (the source), and didn't fail a math midterm. The weekend before that was Fall Family weekend, so I got to see some wonderful parents. For you Middlebury readers, I met Brent's and Chris Opila's wonderful parents. We had several good meals and stuff. It was fun.
Golf is still on my horizon. That's a picture from the 14th green on our course. I played two games in the last four days, lost a total of 15 balls (today's game was pretty terrible and the back nine on our course is bounded by a thick deciduous forest), and broke a total of one pitching wedge. All in all, not too bad. I'm excited to be really wealthy one day and pick up golf for real, keeping score and everything. Not quite there yet though, unfortunately. I've also developed an unhealthy obsession with 30 Rock, in my opinion one of the best shows on television right now. Alec Baldwin's character is in many ways my hero (but not all ways - he's also crazy). I leave episodes on as background noise while I do homework and everything. Terrible. If you haven't seen the show, you should check it out cause it's hilarious.
I've also been playing a lot of guitar, particularly over break. I'm finally taking lessons again, after a five year hiatus, now with Paul Asbell (www.paulasbell.com). Apparently he's quite the guitar hotshot. I can now play "This Land is Your Land" in five keys, "Hey Jude" by the Beatles, and some song called ... something about the wind. And a bunch of scales and scale exercises. It's a ball! I'm also picking up some swing and blues and jazz chords. Super exciting.
Lastly, I've begun worrying about the future and job prospects. With the economy how it is, how the heck am I going to get a job? And what kind of job? My dream of being a part-time food critic and full time-golfer is probably no longer feasible. Time to start worrying...
