HAPPY NEW YEAR!!
It's pretty interesting that, as a world-wide communal (ok, at least for the part of the world that uses the gregorian calendar) holiday, New Years doesn't feel at all like some communal happy this year. The world's on the brink of war and my life has pretty much gone to hell.
Quick year in review: (The memorable stuff)
Winterskol (Snow, tubing, actually having somewhere to sleep). ChemE120A Study sessions (BSL, being hysterical at 3AM, the infamous 25-hour problem sets). CS106A Final project (Jim Van Deventer is a God and Chris Bruner is a saint). The Shad Shrine (oh the horror, the funky horror). Social dance (I suck and I'm not afraid to admit it). Spring break (Going home, cooped up for days, much jetlag... not enough sleep). Screw Your Roommate (Three girls, two guys... choices, choices). Working on Comm169 and winning and feeling pretty much like a loser all 'round. CA Surprise (and the excesses...) Commencement (and running around looking for graduating CAs). Mad dash UHaul move (into summer digs). Summer housing (and Flo Mo food which I really want to forget... and Justin and Grace, my uber-nice roommate and gf). A2dLife... (boy was that shortlived... but fun). Summer job (Making the drugs...). Orientation week (Frosh, and a lot of names). Tutoring... (I'm being PAID to do this?). Rushing PhiPsi (Why did I not do this before?). Studying in the ChemE triple (and sleeping there and eating there... and actually learning stuff and getting the homework right and biking there at 4AM). ChemE 170, 150A, 185A projects (and Mark Gebhard is the best partner ever). 185A (and how that class honestly tried to kill me). My brithday (since when did I get so many friends? I love you all!!). Epiphany (I like biochemistry?) On, and off, and on, and off vegetarianism (currently off). Finals week (and wanting to kill myself and the onset of supreme apathy.). Giving presents (and having my own little Christmas). Coming home (it felt more like going into house arrest). Thinking about the future (what the hell am I doing with my life??). Non-christmas at home (you know, I don't even want to think about it).
