I had read about the <a href=\\\"http:\/\/www.berkeley.edu\/news\/media\/releases\/2003\/05\/15_dewitt.shtml\\\">student speaker<\/a> before, a re-entry student who lived in People\\&#8217;s Park while attending class here&#8230;but his speech at the ceremony was a bit lackluster.  And I found that <a href=\\\"http:\/\/www.berkeley.edu\/news\/media\/releases\/2003\/05\/09_kamrin.shtml\\\">Kenny<\/a> who was the study group leader for my linear algebra class&#8230;was one of the runner-ups for University Medal, the highest honor in Berkeley.  So admirable, because not only did I know him&#8230;but he taught the study group so well that I did \\&#8221;well\\&#8221; in the class and I always went to watch the Men\\&#8217;s Octet especially when he performed&#8230;because he was always the most active and the singer with the most personality.  OMG, I KNOW HIM!<\/p>\n<p>The end of my birthday is drawing near!  Tomorrow is my birthday dinner..so the best is yet to come! :D  But thanks to everyone who made it great.<\/p>\n<p>At midnight last night, I was bombarded instantaneously with ims. :D  And phone calls!
