Wow, I can't believe this quarter is over in a week.  The conclusion that I have drawn from the whole business is that college is a huge adjustment from high school, but an entirely positive one.  I took a walk this afternoon, and as I went along the top of the track field bleachers, I looked at Powell and Royce Hall, and I remembered seeing the ( Read more... )

Haha, I was there.  Go bruins, especially the drunk ones.

I just found out that my arrogant asshole of a chemistry professor is referenced twice on the periodic table wikipedia article. 

A quote from my Bioengineering take home midterm:

"To assess this, we first determined the distributioin of these 1478 eQTLs across the genome in 2-cM bins as shown in Figure 5C.  In order to see if there exist any hotspots for these eQTLs, we tested eQTLs  with p<0.001 for enrichment along the genome in overlapping 2-cM bins agains the ( Read more... )

It's wonderful to know that college is indeed different from high school.  Two ways that I know: tests are harder and nobody's around to tell me not to run at night or have ice cream with every meal.    I've been doing a lot of both lately.  And it's really cool how when you run on the track when it's dark and hot outside (like this evening), there ( Read more... )

Today I was watching TV while running on the treatmill at the gym, and this commercial pops up with Bill Clinton promoting Prop. 87, to curb California's dependence on gasoline.  As he's giving this thirty second spiel, I look at what else is on the screen, and I think to myself, wow that looks an awful lot like the Sculpture Garden, and, wait, the ( Read more... )

Last night, I was coming back from the gym at around 10:30, and after walking up to the 2nd floor, I make a slight right and go towards my room.  The floor was really quiet, like always, but the door was open, which is unusual, since my roommate and I make a point of being anti-social.

I open the door, and this half-naked, really good looking guy ( Read more... )

College is so difficult.  My brain hurts from too much math homework.  I have three scientific article evaluations, an oral presentation, a ten page term paper with at least 30 references from scientific journals, and about 40 pages of reading per week for a two-unit intro to bioengineering class which is two hours at eight in the morning every ( Read more... )

HAPPY BIRTHDAY LISA!
