Looking for a new house

I decided not to stay in my current house. It is because my roommate is going to get another person for the summer. It means that I won't have my private bath, and I don't like it. Other people are not clean enough to share a bathroom with. In addition, my rent is 700$, and I can find a much cheaper place with shared bathroom. It means that in the case that I stay there in the summer I need to pay 200$ more than I get, and I don't like to do that. So, I am looking for another place.

I went to see another house today. The location was good and close to the campus.


However, the house was very dirty. It was 500$ with a shared bath with a female. Usually girls are clean, but this was different. I didn't like it.


The room was also very dark and dirty. He had two mischievous boys who were at school the time I got there. I think that he planned somehow for me to not to see his sons. I didn't even see that girl, but I heard she has a boyfriend. It is hard to find another place close to the university.

I talked to my UCSD friend

I talked to Adrian, my UCSD friend, tonight. We discussed about the future of healthcare and medications. In fact, there will be an unbelievable revolution in less than 10 years in healthcare, and I would like to be a part of this revolution. He was going to start research with a professor there working on bio-engineering. My friend suggested me to watch this course in Udacity.

I liked 23AndMe's idea. Their results are not accurate, but it is an amazing start. In less than ten years, these kinds of information will be more accurate and useful.

I also talked to him about that girl, Shirley, and I asked him to get more information about her. He sent me two new pictures that they took on a trip that they went with each-other. Her photos were amazing. She really is a pretty good girl. If I want to go back to Iran, I prefer to marry someone like her. If I marry someone like Taylor, I may never be able to go back to my home country. Another good thing about those who came to the US as a student is that they are almost the best people in Iran regarding intelligence and being down to earth. If they have a good family, they can be a complete package. I am a picky person, but I think that it is worth it.

I will see her this summer, and my friend is going to plan a trip to go with each other. Let's see what's going to happen.

No more insurance!

I got a letter from StateFarm that they won't renew my insurance. It made me sad. I need to find another insurance company, and it might be hard. My first accident was really an accident, and the second one was because of weather conditions. Even though the second one was not that bad, they made this decision. Let's see what's going to happen.

I learned about SalesForce

I went to an Entrepreneurial club in my university today. The guys talked about selling things. It was very interesting. I can never be a seller, but I could understand their job for the first time. I realized that how hard it would be to sell something to someone. 

In addition, I learned about SalesForce. I liked its idea. They organize everything related to a sale. They even assign probability to potential buyers based on the number of contacts they had and if they visited the website or not. It was kind of interesting to me.


I know this person since the first semester. He has a successful start-up company, and he shared his experiences with us several times. I may work with him someday. He is a good person.

So happy about my thesis project

I am so happy about my thesis project (if we can call it a thesis project). I almost finished the toughest part of it, and the rest will be routine, and I know how to do it. I would like to ask my friend to help me with its user interface later. 

My kid's painting

My first kid sent me a painting again and made me very happy. I am so grateful that I can be a small help to someone's life.


I can see lots of happiness in her painting. His sun is smiling; chimney is smoking; lots of birds have filled the whole sky.

Crazy teammates!

Today was terrible. I had suggested not to work on some parts of the project until we ask the professor. Our professor expected us to show it today. My teammates were very rude to me because of that. There was no grade and nothing bad by not having this part, but they treated me very badly.

Some people are really crazy and they don't understand this. I am at least 10 YEARS more experienced than them. I am 8 years older than them, but they can't understand the situation. They compare me with themselves, and they don't understand what they are saying. It is ridiculous when they tell me that they couldn't use my code because when they change it, it doesn't work; it is because they don't know how to do it, not because of my mistake.

They don't understand that every minute I spend on this project is a waste of time for me, and every minute they spend is valuable to them. If they were expected me to teach them something, then it was not a waste to me because I was useful to them. They expect me to do more than I should do.
