I just realized that in two days, I'm going to be in London. Holy crap. I hope all my boxes from school arrive tomorrow... otherwise, I will be sad. Oh man, I am SO excited. That is all. Goodnight and happy new year.

Ok, because it's finals and in the name of procrastination I'm going to post, because frankly, cool stuff has been hapenning to me. First, I'm going to say that I've started watching shows on websites of networks in order to access shows that I never watch or some that I've even heard of, and I shall enumerate them here, although I don't really ( Read more... )

So, this is (part of) why I love Columbia. I'm now the treasurer of the Association for Computing Machinery (ACM) and a couple of weeks ago I found out Steve Wozniak was coming here! But at the time, I had no idea who that was. It was then explained to me that he was the creator of Apple I and Apple II, inventor of the modern PC and universal ( Read more... )

Wow. So I just had to post because I had such a fantastic day today and have been having such a fantastic time and I want to share that with the people who read this, if any ( Read more... )

Can anyone explain to my why afternoon finals are shorter than morning finals? Morning finals are 9:00am- 12pm, afternoon finals are 1:10pm-4:00pm. They're 10 minutes shorter! And the way finals are schedule is based on class time and it stays the same for the 75 min class slots at least, so why then, does a class at 11am get a 3 hour final, while ( Read more... )

So I had/am having a weird experience tonight. I have a group project due at 1 today (like... in 7.5 hours) and so I'm working on it with the other 3 members of my group in the computer lab in the engineering library. However, that closes at midnight, and as you can see, I'm still up and we're still working and it's 5:30. So we decide to go to the ( Read more... )

So I realize I haven't really said anything substantive here in a while, so I thought I'd sum up this semester in honor of procrastinating for the 5 midterms (and a paper!) I have this week. Well, I went to Israel over break, as you can see by my pictures on facebook. Then I went to go see Sally at Rice which was really fun and I got to meet/see ( Read more... )

Ok. So a few days ago I come back to my room and there's some girl talking outside my room on her phone very loudly. The way my suite is designed is there are 4 of us who live on the upstairs part and 10 people who live downstairs, where there is a kitchen, larger common area, etc. Basically, there really is no reason for anyone downstairs to come ( Read more... )

Holler. Columbia is systematically ruining... the world. We got 2 of the people who are ruining America (out of 100) and 9, YES, NINE of the most dangerous Academics (out of 101). Awesome. We rock. Suck it America.http://info.interactivist.net/article.pl?sid=06

Today was a good day, mainly because I got free stuff. This morning as I walked into Mudd, aka my second home (the engineering building in which I currently have 3 classes) some guy asked me if I was interested in a Morgan Stanley internship. Seeing cookies and coffee mugs I said, "of course." So I got a mug (and a cookie!). Then tonight I went to ( Read more... )
