Release My Thoughts

I have never been a fan of writing blogs, but recently, my life has become so busy and my mind is on so many things that I need an outlet. The urge was so strong that I'm already late to our Theta Tau constitution meeting to write this and I don't even expect people to read any of it.

I told myself early on that grad school is not for me. But over time, having gone through so many courses and making friends with grad students and GSIs has made me appreciate them. Aaron Kleinmann from Math 1B and Vincent from E28. Recently, Andrew Gray from ME131 has been awesome. He's so helpful with homework and is always happy in discussion. Plus he has a little lisp. Kinda cool. Then I talked to Lee Fok from ME109 about bikes. I can tell he's eager to get his grad student signature and get outta here. haha. I ended up going to the BSAC poster session with Liana to support Ryan on his research project and was able to talk to Adrienne too. We had a brief talk about how great it is for her to be ME118 GSI. lol. I met this 28-year old guy named Tyson Kim doing cardiovascular arterial research here and at UCSF. I feel like he's gonna cure heart attacks in the future. Furthermore, it turns out that one of the guys from Beauty and Geek was presenting a project there too, but we had to discuss him quietly cause wer weren't sure if he was ashamed of having been on the show. We got so many Berkeley celebrities. Frenklach on mythbusters, Smoot on 5th grader, William Hung on Idol, that one old professor on survivor. Damn. The GSIs are all so intelligent in their own focuses and it makes me admire their uniqueness and knowledge. I hope I'll be as respectable someday.

I then went to a last minute infosession to study in Osaka. This might be the opportunity I've been waiting for for so long. I'm gonna hop on that shit and hope I can end up in japan. Learn some japanese language shit and watch some anime. Maybe study along the way.

Rube Goldberg. Lana's been doing such a good job with her Professional Devlopment shit and this RG is gonna be big for us. I wish I had the time to contribute and I know it's OUR event, but I can't do it this semester. Sucks that i missed the meeting yesterday.

Good news is that Coleman and I met with Hedrick and we finally got a faculty advisor. Epsilon Chapter status is almost thereeee.

Thanks to Gloria for signing me in to Tutorial today. Thursdays are just too packed. Got ME108 labs and shit.

I haven't even had time for GQ. QQ just called me about the dinner she's been trying to plan but I can't even have meals anymore. Meals are for children. jk, i wish i could be there right now, even though you just told me I got kicked out of the family that I ...started... with John Kim. Rebellious kids.

Aw man i gotta go to Danceworx too. How did "I'm not joining DWX" turn into two dances. O well, it's a fun break from school.
