Mending Fences

This winter and New Year has been more turbulent than usual, and I’ve lost contact with a lot of friends and possibly upset some others. Work has also been keeping me on my toes, so I haven’t been able to keep up with all my contacts and volunteer work.
It seems that things are finally beginning [...]

Taking A Break

I’ve decided to withdraw from the University of California, Berkeley, for a couple semesters. I need some time to do things other than school and to work some issues out. Check here for regular updates on my (temporary) escape from Berkeley.

Uncomfortably Numb

My fifth semester at UC Berkeley is drawing to an end. I have finals on Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, and Monday — two materials science courses and one each of chemistry and chemical engineering.
I’ve spent the past few days alternating between sleep and studying, but once Wednesday hits, I’m going to be able to count the [...]

I’m Still Alive!

I think the time gap between this post and the last post is the longest such gap this blog has ever seen.
Many things have occurred since the last post, and most of them have been keeping me very busy. Here’s some of the important stuff:
I moved back into the dorms. This will be the first [...]

Lost

Katherine and I broke up about 3 weeks ago, her doing. As of today, she has a new boyfriend. I know I don’t usually post very personal things to this blog, but I do think this is profound enough to merit an exception.
Truthfully, I still want to be with Katherine, and I hope I can [...]

The title says it all.
It’s hard having a girlfriend who’s living in a distant time zone. While communicating over the Internet is possible, it’s not the same as talking over [...]

New Shoes

I just ordered the following K-Swiss cross-training sneakers from shoebuy.com:

I’ve been wearing K-Swiss shoes for about 3 years, and I find them pretty comfy. My current pair have lasted me for over a year, and I only decided to a get a new pair because I’ll be doing quite a bit of walking during my [...]

Loss of Fast Internet

I’m officially back home.
Unfortunately, this also means I’m back to my super-slow-stuck-in-the-middle-of-nowhere Internet. To those who’ve recently commented on my blog, I’m sorry about the delay in moderating your comments — with only one phone line, I can’t use the Internet too often to check this site. My lack of a dedicated connection also means [...]

It’s Over!

I just finished my last final, Engineering 45. Now, time to get packing…

Dorm Room Chosen

Today, I selected my dorm room for next year at the Berkeley Housing and Dining Room Draw. I’ll be living in Foothill Hillside 7A30A with a (currently) freshman Chemistry major.
It’ll be interesting living in a Foothill Hillside double — I’ve lived in a Bowles Hall single for the past two years. I’ve loved Bowles Hall [...]
