checking my status as a student:

You are currently in the College of Letters and Science . Your class level is Senior with a major of Cognitive Science . You have satisfied the American History requirement and the American Institutions requirement and the American Cultures requirement and the Subject A requirement . You are not on the Degree List for the Spring 2003 semester.

It didn\’t help at all that I was senior standing this semester. >:O

let me repeat this: I don\’t like getting fwd letters unless it\’s relevant information. BLARGH.

I am going to see Linkin Park March 23rd! :D

I can\’t believe how many times I have attended office hours in the last week. Before this year, I would be so anxious to even go to one, in the fear that a professor or a gsi would consider me as one of THOSE students…

But because I am desperate for help, the last week I have attended at least one office hour for each of my classes.

Last Monday: I chickened out on going to office hours of my cs prof
Tuesday: I ran to Soda Hall and found my CS gsi wandering around…to my embarassment, I asked her whether she was available and she said she was not and that she had class…
Wednesday: spent a nice long hour with my gsi for cs (see above)
Thursday: spent a long time with my ling gsi for hw, then ran to see the other cs gsi
Friday: ran and got a signature from the perl instructor; then spent a nice 20 minutes with my cog sci gsi
Monday: spent a nice 45 minutes with my ling gsi; skipped my own office hours…
later today: maybe cog sci gsi, maybe ling gsi?

Not that it helps, but it gives me beliefs that I have been helped…

I sent an e-mail to AT&T broadband asking about the name change to Comcast and whether there was an increase in my monthly fee.

And this is what I got back:
Dear Jennifer,

WHAT THE FREAK?!?!?!?!?!?!?!??!?!?!?!?!?

ALECKY IS IN CALIFORNIA!?!?!?!?!?!?!

edit:
most people should know how anal and controlling I am. That is, when I plan out an event, I plan everything right down the last detail. I don\’t feel comfortable if there is an area of time that is NOT PLANNED.
e.g. NAIM\’S TRIP. Every day was planned. There was very little time for…mistakes. Money was planned. Time planned!

AS FOR ALECKY, because he was going to Santa Cruz first…I had believed that Stacee was planning it all. But I got anxious and gave him a very clear schedule of what he should do once he is off the plane-provided him with a map of the airport, a schedule of the time of the buses, the prices of the public transportation, then what to do in case of emergency…

*cough* apparently something didn\’t happen right!

if I could start over again, I would major in molecular cell biology. sigh.

Considering the fact that I did extremely well in biology and chemistry in high school, I wonder why I never chose this path. The fact is I had struggled a lot with C++ in high school…

So I am admiring my parents\’ skills at keeping the house clean.

Ever since I was young, my parents have enforced a no-shoe rule. It wasn\’t just an asian thing either. Every house we lived in was new…and they wanted to keep it that way. And how my dad takes time to wash the floor every week. Then he would annouce after the finished task that \”it was so clean that we could kiss it\”

On the contrary, I don\’t know why my apartment is just not like that…

While sorting through random sheets of paper, I found my old CS homework. It was from a more innocent time of my freshman year. Where things seemed so new and I was so determined that I would succeed in these challenges.

Sniff, those easy days of programming…

All this just to switch the pronuns in a sentence!
(define (switch s)
(cond
((empty? s) \'())
((equal? (first s) \’you) (sentence \’i (switch-rest (butfirst s))))
…
(else (sentence (first s) (switch-rest (butfirst s))))))

> (switch \'(you told me that I should wake you up))
(i told you you should wake me up)
