Squelch

so they have this magazine here written by students, its supposed to be funnny, and it is mostly, i dont get all the jokes, but heres a post.

Internationally renowned impersonators The Yes Men revealed at a press conference yesterday they have been impersonating internationally renowned impersonators The Yes Men for the past ten years.

"No one in the organization had any clue," said Yes Men spokesman imitator Mike.

"I think we've done a good job of exposing The Yes Men for what they are: a bunch of frauds," said imitation Yes Men spokesman imitator Mike.

The Yes Men are expected to release a video of their exploits later this year, which is certain to discredit The Yes Men while finally giving The Yes Men their due acclaim.

Anyway, they give them out free in the middle of campus, so take one if you want a laugh, all tho warning, not everything is funny, some stuff is just sick, others are dumb enuf to tickle.

new plan

i dont know if this will work, but from monday to friday, i now plan to set aside

a hour for each of the following
-math
-cs
-econ
-reading news/practicing chinese/spanish

i dont even know if i have that many hours a day, but ill try and see how it goes.

half the semester is over and im floating, if i wanna do really well......


unrelated-
i was looking thru the list of majors and the only majors that look interesting
-cs
-econ
-mayb psych



so i think ill take a psych class soon to see if i enjoy it, but for now gotta do well in econ and cs, lay a strong foundation so i can build on it easily

drama

so, u watch tv, and there is so much drama in high school,

she likes the guy i like, he is dating a few girls, shes flirting with him........

yeah it seems that it doesnt change in college, well at least not for freshman.

kinda sad, some ppl just fall in love? and cant focus on studying,

one theory is a lot of ppl are not used to seeing the oposite sex everyday and living so close to them,

another theory is ppl who didnt go to co-ed schools were never exposed to the opposite sex and now........

i think both theories r true, and now im so happy that i went to a co-ed high school and have been on so many camps with girls. so for me, nothing feels strange and im free to focus on school,

i like my life

concerts at berkeley greek theater

so, every now and then, they have concerts at the berkeley greek theater, and friday they had a jason mraz concert,

no didnt wanna spend 60 bucks, so we went onto a balcony nearby and listened from there (foothill dorm, they r kinda lucky, they can hear every concert for free)

speaking of lucky



and then he was like this is a happy little hippy song




these of course r the pirated videos, there r better ones taken by the ppl actually in the theater, just look for them thru these videos

poker

so, i have most of my fun from playing poker at the moment.

i play soccer IMs twice a week, and ref 2-3 times a week, but poker seems to give me the most fun, i think its cuz it goes on for a while, like risk.

anyway, so far, played 3 times for real (money), won (means left with more money than i put in) twice and lost (means lost all the money i initially put in) once. so net profit so far, pretty good.

gota get better at the game so i can enjoy(win) it more tho, gota start reading ppl and acting so ppl who try to read me get thrown off.

haloween comin up, darn i wanted to dress up as the joker, but there is a christian fall conference at the same time :( mayb ill dress up as the joker at the conference, would that be weird?

midterm 1

so, midterms for math and cs r back,

math 23/35, average 20, median 21. standard deciation 6, 350 ppl in the class. so above the average, good enuf cuz i didnt do enuf work, gota make up for it on midterm 2.

cs, 34/40, not too bad, only 1 person got full marks, average was 30, so im doin ok.

econ is the problem, not sure of my grade yet, but 600 ppl in the class, test is out of 100.

today professor came in and said, i like it when the median is 40, cuz then we can differentiate the A and A- !!!!!!!!!!

he wants us to fail almost, basically, well now i am even less optimistic about doin well, well, gotta get ready for the next one.

game day

so, i watched my first game as a berkeley fan (kinda, im not that much of a fan yet)

disapointing.

i should have just studied instead of trying to multitask.

ending score USC 30, berkeley 3. pathetic

this was the first game i watched, now i am happy i didnt spend $80 on season tickets, ill prob go check out the mens and womens soccer teams, at least they wont lose by 27 :p

anyway, moral of the story, i dunno no moral, but basically we dont have as good a team as everyone seems to think

we did show signs tho, there were some 30 seconds in the game where we played ok, but that was it. well maybe next year.

i should get back to what really matters, my studying.

work

so, im too busy to blog much, but now i have a schedule, and am settled down for the semester.

cs midterm was yesterday, very tricky. econ and math midterms on monday, well c how it goes.

anyway, i got hired to be a referee for IntraMural soccer so I have been a referee for a few games now.

It is pretty fun, other than standing in the cold, i quite like it, watching soccer as a job :)

and, i get a bit of excercise as well as a study break.

Plus you meet new ppl, and they all are like thank you ref after the game.

Last night, a team came with fans, and they were crazy, I think they were drinking before the game, anyway, they were shouting and chanting (it was 11 at night) and yelling. Then at half time, they pulled a radio out of somewhere and blasted music which they proceeded to dance to. I enjoyed watching, it was fun.

Then they scored.... hahah

they all started doing cartwheels and stuff, (im pretty sure they had something before they came)
but yeah, its nice to have a job i enjoy, now i just need to pass the math and econ midterms......
