Troy: First Look

I made a lot of sacrifices to watch Troy: I waited in line for countless hours to get tickets, I waited another three hours to get into Wheeler Auditorium, and I endured the freezing cold for an hour after someone pulled a fire-alarm during the movie. I only made these sacrifices because I believed Troy [...]

Cinema Therapy

I know I haven’t been posting my normal supply of updates. After studying for countless hours for my organic chemistry midterm and failing miserably, I haven’t been in the mood to post updates. Thankfully, I’m feeling much better now after much inner reflection.
I decided to try escape Berkeley yesterday. I needed an outlet for my [...]

Organic Chemistry: Ouch

I crashed and burned on my organic chemistry midterm. I guess the blame falls upon me because I didn’t start studying early enough and because I missed too many lectures. This makes for two chemistry midterms that I’ve done poorly on; each midterm was worth 10% of my overall grade. Since I am really committed [...]

I’ve survived an all-nighter + an 8-5 day. However, I have to do physics now. ::sigh:: 3 hours and counting…

Concentrated HCl burns. Immediately rinse in case of exposure. Cytosine + uracil can be a new way to get high.

The Last Samurai

There was a free sneak preview of the Last Samurai last night on Berkeley campus (Wheeler Auditorium). The showing was packed!
I had thought that I would have to miss the sneak preview. I had failed to obtain tickets, and I was afraid that I had a programming lab due today.
Remarkably, during my C96 seminar, I [...]
