hrmm i probably shouldnt have used the model minority stereotype to assume what he's doing at the moment. for all i know, he could be getting drunk at blake's or some shit. but yeah, he's alive. it was just an urban legend started who knows when but of course i'm the last one to hear about it.. blah
i think some people stereotype him as a 'typical asian' who is good at math and science, not art.. so they think he shouldnt work on developing his musical abilities and just stick with engineering.
a lot of people party hard at berkeley too... i dont know how competitive he is but yeah, in order to get ahead people work hard too. i could never figure out how some people did both successfully. there are also just a bunch of people like me who didn't do well academically.
who knows what type of student he is... i just felt like i was promoting an unfair (and generally accepted) assumption about his academic habits when there are other possibilities that are just as likely.
