How are the guys at Cal?

<p>888888888: How come? I took 17 units last semester and there were only two days where I had 8AMs per week.</p>

<p>awww you poor thing…</p>

<p>I’m staying up late because I don’t want it to be tomorrow, because the week’s problem set is TOUGH, and I don’t want to start it, but know I’ll have to tomorrow. </p>

<p>KitKatz, even if I’m trying to brainwash you, I assure you none of my words was false!</p>

<p>Sorry mathboy, but it is already the first of May at this point. </p>

<p>Just curious, why are you up so late KitKatz? </p>

<p>I’m also writing a card for my professor right now.</p>

<p>I’m studying for my ib bio test. I haven’t done any reading for that class for the past 2 months (oops). I did kinda bad on the last test because it was on evolution of vertebrates, and yeah…I couldn’t really bs through it. If I don’t study for this one, I’d probably lose my A. the test is on the nervous system. I hate all those miscellaneous terms. Looks like it’s going to be another all-nighter! I’ve had more of those in this past year than I can count, but most of it was for things not related to school…</p>

<p>Oh yeah and I was also studying for my calc test. the AP and IB test season starts next week and I have completely wasted my two weeks of spring break on ripping my hair out, trying to figure out which school I should go to when the answer was so obvious all along :)</p>

<p>mathboy: I can believe that :)</p>

<p>how dare you make accusations 88! lol i used to go every day too.</p>

<p>The days of AP and IB testing…That seems like such a long time ago. Good luck with your studying but don’t stress out too much! As for not school related reasons for all-nighters…You’ll probably get more of those in college (though that would depend on your choice of lifestyle too I would suppose).</p>

<p>if you dont mind me asking, what yr are you?</p>

<p>Thanks so much :slight_smile: I will try to not stress too much but I’m kind of anal about grades and tests. I can’t stand looking at a test paper that’s all marked up…and I can’t stand when I look at a test and feel like I don’t know a large portion of it. I don’t know if it’s my ego or what, I just can’t stand that feeling, even if I tell myself that that test wouldn’t hurt me in the long run. haha I sound like a freak of nature. No, actually I don’t party all that much. At least not the drunken orgy kind of thing. You’ll probably laugh at what I miss my sleep over. This past year, I got really hooked on agatha christie’s novels and Russian literature so I was actually reading sometimes three books a night…haha yeah…</p>

<p>^^ I wish I were Hercule Poirot, then I’d be much cooler than I am now.</p>

<p>Am also a sucker for Dostoevsky and stuff. Good taste, there! ;)</p>

<p>And Dill – sure, but who cares if May 1 is over, she was already committed to Berkeley :slight_smile: – still plenty to be learned about the school after May 1!!!</p>

<p>hhaha lol. batman :D. </p>

<p>my math 1a & my r5a class was at 8… lol</p>

<p>mathboy: I was referring to your problem sets actually. >.> Sorry for being vague!</p>

<p>Anyways, Happy May Day everyone! You should all go run around a pole and frolic.</p>

<p>All Quiet on the Western Front is the best book ever! I still need to finish reading The Brothers Karamazov.</p>

<p>The hell. I wanted to go swimming and it starts raining. I don’t want to swim in the rain. Damn weather…</p>

<p>What’s wrong with swimming in the rain?</p>

<p>possibly getting a cold. dunno how the weather is up at north cal, so i’m not sure if it was raining in the cold or one of those spring showers.</p>

<p>there’s nothing wrong with swimming in the rain. it’s getting out and having to get back to foothill that’s the problem. and it’s actually the cold shower, not like spring warm-ish type…</p>

<p>Yes, I love All Quiet on the Western Front. It’s also one of my favorite books! I even did a painting of one of the scenes in the novel, a butterfly on a skull. I liked Brothers Karamazov a lot, but not as much as Crime and Punishment. </p>

<p>Oh I worship Dostoyevsky and his wicked writing skills :slight_smile: Why, I would kiss the dirty earth for him! My only regret is that I can’t speak Russian…reading the originals would be epic! Even the translated version of Crime and Punishment sends chills down my spine! It’s nice a nice change from the innate evil of humans in Heart of Darkness :p. Conrad can write so awesomely as well, but he’s way too cynical…</p>

<br>

<br>

<p>^^ Haha, yes I guess this is true. Perhaps what I meant is that I would like to have his grey cells, but not change the way I look! My little grey ones may not be horrible, but his are unbeaten :slight_smile: </p>

<p>Crime and Punishment kinda beats Brothers Karamazov to me as well, though to be honest, I remember it better than BK, and probably don’t remember Karamazov that well at all.</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>This was unexpected. I’ll have to reconsider my hatred for you. I’ll let you know in like 2 weeks if I retract it or not.</p>

<p>…So is your friend coming? :P</p>
