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 going to be inundated with midterms and projects in the coming weeks:
09/26 MSE 120 Midterm
10/04 ESPM 167 Project
10/06 Chem 104A Midterm
10/06 MSE 102 Midterm
10/10 Chem Eng 141 Midterm
10/18 ESPM 167 Midterm
I really wish the university would establish rules for the staggering of midterms. Wish me luck!
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 [...]
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 [...]

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 [...]
I got this email today:
Dear Bowles Resident:
All current Bowles Hall residents who have applied for a 2005-06 housing contract and indicated a preference to return to Bowles Hall next year will not be able to return to Bowles.
Next year, Bowles Hall has been identified as a First Year Experience (for freshmen only) pilot program. [...]
I’m in love. With a girl. This girl.
More to come.
Curves get a little scary when the score distribution [WARNING: PDF] on a midterm fits an exponential curve. I still can’t believe 23 people (16% of the class) got a perfect score on the test.
