I just finished two consecutive three-hour finals; Neurobiology and Molecular Cell Biology. Whew! Six hours of constant cortisol secretion, and I am hungry! I had my Advanced Physiology final earlier this week, so that does it for me with my hard finals. All that is left is Music on Monday, and then summer is mine ( Read more... )

I was working at the Highland ER the other night, and a trauma 2 came in who had translocated the two hemispheres of her brain. The poor girl was paralyzed on the left side of her body. Yikes. I like volunteering at Highland because I get to be in the room with patients and doctors, especially when trauma cases are at hand ( Read more... )

Our last home game of the year was on Saturday against USC. What could have made it more memorable than clothes-drenching rain and arrogant, disgusting fans (theirs, not ours)? It started out as a great game. Both teams played very well, but somewhere in the second half the game went downhill. I don't want to point fingers, but I gave up when ( Read more... )

Connie premiered her first album last night. Isn't that incredible? Two years ago we were singing together in the Overtones, and now she is on her way to becoming a professional recording artist. Before the show, Tyler, Gigi, and I ate dinner at the Berkeley Thai House. We were taken to the last available table (that place gets so packed), and ( Read more... )

This may have been my most relaxing weekend in a long time. Although... it would have been a lot better had Cal not lost. I have never loved football as much as I do now, and it is pretty depressing when we do not play our best. Anyway, besides asking for victory, I could not have asked for more. It's really grounding to look around and realize how ( Read more... )

In today's Daily Cal, there is an article about all of the fictional Berkeley Alumni. I guess Doc Brown went to Cal, and that got me thinking about the flux capacitor that was central to his time-travel machine. At first I didn't think that a flux capacitor could exist, but if you have a capacitor in circuit, and connect the two plates with a very ( Read more... )

So this weekend may have been the best nothing weekend in a long time. Firstly, Stanfurd beating USC... at the Coliseum. OMG. What's freaked me out is that Tyler called it. I never enjoyed watching football until I came to Cal, and now I can't go a Saturday without being glued to the tube or out with Gigi at home games. Which reminds me... student ( Read more... )

For my Psych class, I have been letting various researchers do tests on me for class credit. Most of the tests have been pretty lame (surveys and such), so I haven't really been trying to be honest. I mean, I have been honestly replying, but I have not exactly been giving responses that I would give. I have mostly been thinking of a person I know, ( Read more... )

So this is the last day of Spring Break, and I am wishing it wasn't so. I went home for a full week, and it was so eventful/relaxing. The first thing I did was go to Disneyland with Diane, Alexa, and Kendra for two days in a row. We had so much fun, the pictures don't even capture our absurdity. I really miss Diane. She is such a sweet person, and ( Read more... )
