Patrick's Diary - 11/7/2015

Dropping my parents at Ranch 99 Chinese Market, I went to Costco to buy other stuff. Checking out, I heard the guy who helped load the cart saying that price was good for hamburgers. I was wondering if he referred to ground beef because I didn't buy petties. 

Picking up my son at his dorm, we followed his request to go to New Star Restaurant again. Today, we didn't order fresh seafood but Peking Duck, which was shared by us so quickly. It's very delicious. After the lunch, we just dropped him back and went back home. 
Taking a nap, I didn't go to gym as I had planned but caught up my diaries for several days in last week. It's raining pretty hard today, especially at Huskies Stadium as far as I could tell on TV. 

Huskies did a pretty good job at the beginning and held Utes punting. 
UW's freshman QB Browning threw to their receiver who dodged Utah's defenders to get into Red Zone. Huskies seemed embracing their first touchdown of the game.
Though they hadn't made a TD in the earlier drive, Huskies did make one after this run. This one was ruled TD in the first place but called off after review. However, they did it eventually.
Utah had been leading most of the game but Huskies did make themselves catch up to be very close. 
Anyway, Utah is a 13th ranked team, it's not a surprise they won at the end. Let's see if Huskies can win one of the two away games in the following weeks, then they may win Apple Cup at home to get a chance to a bowl game. 

As I had shared that my son selected Drama 251 - Acting in this quarter. On Friday night, he watched The Cradle will Rock as a part of learning.  
Most of the classmates in his Integral Calculus class are probably very competitive because those kids may pursue engineering degrees, but I encouraged my son to keep working on it without too much pressure. As long as he can pass it and is eligible to enroll the class for next one, it will be a victory. I told him when he gets into my age, he will realize the importance of having completed the thorough trainings of calculus in college. Differentiation teaches him to approach an object efficiently; Integration enables him to consolidate and summarize a subject effectively; Multivariate Calculus develops him into a dynamic universe. 

However, in addition to Multivariate Calculus and Intermediate Macroeconomics, I will encourage him to select Drama 252 in Winter Quarter, which will bring him a lot of fun.
