If every minute was an hour and every second was a minute.

Time management has probably been the biggest problem in my life, and even though I've been preached about it from the minute I was born, I still managed to become a victim to it. It's like everyday that I tell myself that to work earlier, or do this today and not tomorrow, but it never happens; I know it won't happen, almost like procrastination is simply built into my very system.

I won't lie, but I practically live in the library; at least, it's the place where I spend most of my time, that and the darkroom. I would be in school M - Th and Saturday, work full days on Mondays and Wednesdays. Then, on the weekends I'll be in the darkroom and library where I can find my peace studying or just playing cell phone games. I have literally no time for my hobbies or even spending time with my friends except for times at the gym and the occasional bumping into library chats.

So far, it’s only the beginning, but I'm already getting pressured from a class like photography; It's not easy to find time to go out, take pictures, and develop them. Of course, people always get the idea of photography being an easy class; After all, how can you grade something that’s focused so heavily on perspective. Unfortunately, this isn’t your everyday take a picture of a rock, bullshit some meaning from it, get an A, class.

In the end, it's really up to me and how I want to manage my time; But with so much to do (not to mention my hobbies) and so little time, I guess there will be set backs and trade-offs to be taken, hopefully none too severe. And when the stress builds up, I always have my friends to lean back on.

Things you MUST know about me

The first and MOST important thing I feel everyone must know about me is my name, Simon Tse. Now you must be wondering why, my name is Carbonated Cheesecake, well thats mainly because I love to bake/cook, and cheesecake is one of my specialties. I am currently a Junior at Baruch, majoring in Marketing but I really wanted to attend a Culinary School like CIA, but didn't have the funding for it so now I cook and bake as a hobby. 

I like to do many other things as well, most of them being related to the Arts, such as photography, drawing, and filming. So i guess it wouldn't be a surprise now if I said my planned minor is photography, and I'm taking some courses on it at Baruch, so for those of you who didn't know we had some art related classes at Baruch, feel free to take some next semester! As that would really help keep the art department

in this school alive in this kind of economic turmoil. I also love doing cardio such as running, rollerblading and tennis. I would include biking here too but, sadly I can't turn on a bike, but I can go straight. 

Hopefully this brief introduction was enough to grab your attention, and thus accomplishing my goal, if not here are some pictures to get your attention. I hope this semester will be a fun one, and hopefully we'll get to know one another. If you'd like to try some of the things I make or just chat, here's how to contact me iflingmonkeydoo@hotmail.com.
