Lele keeps calling me JFLO just because of MTV\’s latest take on sorority life based in USC.

The thing is…I am laughing at the concept of USC being the location of the next sorority life. Why that campus?! Why. Especially since we all know it\’s located in a ghetto area. And well, I think UCB always beats them at football. I think so. My sister got accepted to USC, but chose UCSD instead.

At least the JFLO on sorority girls doesn\’t seem too much of a ditz from her profile.

I have the 8th most common name in America.

Is it because I didn\’t have enough sleep or I think that I didn\’t have enough sleep…that I am so TIRED today.

I just saw a really gross picture. It wasn\’t as gross as the ones where people had piercings in the most awful places. I don\’t know why, but I am feeling nauseous (again) and shaken up.

It was only a picture some fruit thing imposed on a picture of some body part. The imagery of its implication is preventing me from sleeping. Sigh.

A few weeks ago, I applied to three research projects, thinking that I would get rejected by all of them. So I had e-mailed a graduate student and he accepted me to be his research assistant. AND THEN, in the last week, I received three e-mails – one rejection and two interview offers. MMMPH. I am more interested in working with the graduate student, but working with a professor looks so much better on the application and resume. It bothers me that I won\’t be able to participate in the electronic version of twister which is one of the research projects. Um, if there can be an electronic version fo twister.

And now, a picture! :D Thanks yo lady!

I just wanted to let everybody know that I am eating a pizza I bought four days ago, which I didn\’t put in the fridge but left it on the ground of my apartment wrapped up in a credit card advertisement torn off the wall of 182 Dwinelle.

EDIT: I only ate half because it was a stiff.

EDIT (about 4 hours later): I am feeling very nauseous. I am not sure if it\’s from my homework or from the pizza. But I feel like I might just puke all over my keyboard this very second. Um. Yeah.

People say I type really loud. :D

When I first entered UC Berkeley, I had intended to major in computer science. I don\’t remember exactly why…but mostly because I didn\’t want to be a stereotypical girl. I wanted to be an engineer of some sort, because I had a fondness for math. Yet I started to dislike math after a horrible two semesters in linear algebra and discrete math. Then my first few computer science courses…they were interesting, but I just didn\’t get most of the concepts. Despite me being only average in the major, I applied anyway (all L&S undergraduates enter berkeley undeclared and must apply to a major. computer science is capped meaning only 3.5+ gpa students could get in). \’Twas rejected.

But that didn\’t stop me and I had intended to go for the computer science minor. And here I am in my fourth year in Artificial Intelligence and I am nearly gagging on all the code. It\’s kind of sad to realize that my four year excursion to computer science is ending. I am not someone built for cs…I only do it when I feel like it. I don\’t like the complexity of it all. I only like the human-oriented aspect…how to build things for computers.

Okay, back to the homework that is due in two days. :p

I am huge multitasker. In the morning, you might see me combing my hair while brushing my teeth. Or eating while I dress. And of course, phone and AIM. :) Anybody displeased about the latter?

I actually did some community service today! Volunteered at the Alameda County Food Bank. This was where I had gone for my required community service hours in high school as well as the community service \”punishment\” my first year of college.

Despite the fact that I only put labels (mechanically) on unlabeled Del Monte peach cans…it was still fun. The previous times, I had done canned food sorts which held my interest because people always donated the weirdest things to food drives – feminine sanitary napkins, beer, a 1980 year old can of food (tsk tsk!), and a half used jar of peanut butter.

I also met Xing\’s friend…who she unwittingly met on Friendster. Awwwww!!!

Oh how much do I love SAL……………..monella.
