This past week has been amazing. Last weekend I celebrated my 20th birthday with great friends, delicious food, and good surprises. We started the night at Fenton's, where we had dinner and a yummy chocolate dessert extravaganza (I can break lent on my birthday, so I had all the chocolate I could devour that night). Then, we went to a karaoke bar ( Read more... )

I miss Diane. A lot.

So I just finished my first two midterms today. They were back-to-back, which was pretty terrible. When I first walked into class, the sky was foggy and the wind was blowing, making the temperature really cold. Then as soon as I finished with calculus, I walked out of Dwinelle and was greeted by so much sunlight. It matched my mood really well. I ( Read more... )

I was sitting/falling asleep in math class this morning while my professor, with the heaviest accent, was going over different convergence tests. The last one he went over was the Ratio Test, but I totally understood "Racial Test". That grabbed my attention, but I soon realized that finding the limit as x went to infinity was pretty much universal ( Read more... )

I just completed my biology final, and I am so much happier for it. Only physics and anthropology left, and then I am homeward bound. About one week and a half ago, the Overtones and I recorded the three songs we were supposed to record last spring! The studio was amazing, and it was so easy to fall back in step with those girls. While we were ( Read more... )

Last night, around midnight, some girlfriends and I were walking to my house from Zete, before grabbing some late-night munchies from Asian Ghetto. We were on my block when a guy our age stumbled out of a house and invited us in. "Free alcohol. Please come drink our alcohol." We were a bit curious so I asked him if he lived in the house. He replied ( Read more... )

Halloween was so much fun. I got to dissect a rat completely, and even though I felt nauseous during the lecture for it, I was totally alright fondling his insides! Well, that started the night off with blood and gore. Then, I met Julia and we BARTed to the city to meet Llyod and some friends in Castro. People had such amazing costumes. It was a ( Read more... )

My physics professor died yesterday after lecture. I never thought that I would ever type that. His name was Michael Ronan, and he was my dad's age. He was found on the asphalt behind his laboratory building, having suffered from a fatal fall ( Read more... )

A Lebanese was sitting with a Syrian and a Filipino in Saudi Arabia, sharing a smuggled barrel of whiskey, when suddenly Saudi police stormed the place and arrested them. They were sentenced each to a jail term and 20 lashes of the whip ( Read more... )

I had my first Biology midterm today, and I am so happy that it went well. I mean, it was a lot harder than the practice exams, but it was still totally do-able. I have been stressing over it for the past week, so as soon as I turned it in, a giant weight was lifted (well, not really... the test probably only weighed about 10 grams), and I walked ( Read more... )
