Yesterday morning, my dad decided we’re “looking too white,” so he hauled us outside to supposedly take a walk in the yard and freshen up on our tan (what tan? I was born white. LOL) so we can look ethnic again. Haha. Now, “taking a walk in the yard” is a phrase that seriously fills […]

Yesterday morning I was listening to the radio on the way up to school at around 7 a.m., and they were talking about the anti-war protests going on in San Francisco. At the time I tuned in, there were people protesting in the Financial District, the Embarcadero, and south of Market, and 20 intersections were […]

ok, here’s something a little more useful. This is from my email subscription to MeccaOne (check out their website; it’s so awesome, masha’Allah. They’re based here in the Bay, and they’ve been putting a lot of work and effort into educating people).
WHEN YOU WAKE UP…
When you wake up in the morning do not expect […]

ehhh, i’m not really into the whole quiz deal, but i found this one on Otty’s blog and my results made me laugh, so here goes… And yes, Shadaan, good point about the fine line between self-confidence and over-confidence/conceit. :) I already know Somayya’s gonna have a field day commenting on this one (hopefully she’ll […]

Shoot, it’s almost 2 a.m. and genius me decides to take a study break and update, even though i can’t think of anything to write about. Talk about deliberately searching for ways to waste time. lol.
Hmm, nothing much new going on here. Had my physics final exam oh-so-early yesterday morning (8 a.m.), which meant […]

ehhh, studying for finals is so boring, man. Don’t worry, ya’ll are not missing out at all. :-p I went up to Davis today to study for physics and was SEMI-productive.
Deval and I had our physics final scheduled for last Thursday, so on Wednesday she wanted to meet me in the morning at the Borders […]

Man, stupid finals have got me all down these days. Everywhere i go, i have exams on the brain. The saddest part is, I haven’t really made all that much progress in terms of studying…i’ve been too exhausted lately to even get to that part. I don’t get it…I don’t sleep; i’m tired. I DO […]

ok, i know i need to update, cuz there are WAY WAY WAY so many comments to my last post. lol. Well, ok, I’ll just admit it, a lot of them were novel-length comments made by myself and Somayya because, genius children that we are, we didn’t think of using email, AIM, or the phone […]

Had a physics lecture this morning…and a quiz that i totally b.s.’ed my way through—as usual, of course. :-D So funny…Deval’s such a bitter child. Every Sunday night for the past 3 quarters, she’s called me to demand, “Have you studied for tomorrow’s physics quiz yet??” No “hey, how are you?”…no preliminary greetings…just Deval asking […]

ok so i see that i’m kinda behind on the updates, since lately I’ve been posting stuff written by OTHER people. Hmmm… I don’t really have anything exciting to write about either, though… How bothersome, man. And it’s funny that I woulda written about today, but “today” is actually Monday now, since it’s wayyy past […]

Oh man, I’m soooo exhausted. I was on campus til late in the evening last night, working on a paper in one of the computer labs. When 9:30 hit, i figured it was about time to head home, even though I wasn’t done yet. Oh, the joy of walking halfway across campus to your car, […]

::Martin Luther King, Jr.::
Are we seeking power for power’s sake? Or are we seeking to make our world and our nation better places to live? If we seek the latter, violence will never provide the answer. The ultimate weakness of violence is that it is a descending spiral, begetting the very thing […]

I slept in today and woke up around noon. Felt awesomely good! My vampire tendencies are really insane…if I’m going to continue pulling allnighters, I need to make them productive ones, otherwise I should just give up and go to bed early. Anyway, it was a beauuuutiful day today, all sunny and warm, so this […]
