no control

Oops, I did it again.

I got word of my "punishment" from the SJA yesterday from the Student Advocate. Although I was not surprised, I was pretty dismayed. They came to a conclusion that Sri and I "cheated". However, I was never clear about the guidelines of a take-home test. It definitely sucks. And Ann got off innocent. So now I have to do 20 hours of community service, which isn't that bad. Maybe I'll finally do some APO stuff. I think I hear Marisol jumping up and down for joy now. I still think APO is a cult. Nonetheless, I wouldn't ever do Circle K, another community service organization, because well...it seems like a cult as well. Then I have a warning on my record. Time to say goodbye to any chance of grad school.

"Are you okay?" Catherine imed me after I had an incredibly depressing away message.
It's strange. She is one of the few people I know that can sense when I am upset. Others can't deal. Others have no patience. Others have no time.

Becky and I got embarrassed in Philosophy today. I didn't realize it until Becky had told me about it afterwards. She had fallen asleep just a quarterway through lecture. As a result, I became very sleepy just sitting next to her. Yes, it was that contagious. Despite the fact that I had a good 10 hours of sleep (being mad means that I go to bed early...and also it means that I have less energy throughout the day), I began to doze off too. Two-thirds through the lecture, Professor Dreyfus was discussing how Dante fell asleep after Virgil attempted to explain why creatures turn on their creators. "And I see two people in front of me sleeping," he added.
The class turned around and began to laugh.
Their laughter woke me up from my uncalled-for nap. I had assumed that they were laughing at some aspect of the Divine Comedy. Then I went back to sleep.

My telebears appointment was today. Being a Spring admit makes me regret a lot of not doing enough as a freshman. Now that I am a sophomore, I realized how much stuff I missed. The reshall activites. AGH! Now it's the freshman seminars. Last semester, I was dismayed that I couldn't take a History seminar based on the era that I have always loved studying -- World War II. It had confliced with CS61a class. Now, I can't take a single frosh seminar because I am too old. Like the seminars in Journalism - tabloids, New York Times, pundits. The autobiographical Comparative Literature. The Demography seminar on reproductive technology. The English seminar on film reviewing (aaaagh, and I have always wanted to be a film critic!!!!) Then they have this nifty section for seminars "learning from September 11". First of all, why is that restricted to only freshmen?
Definitely disappointing. However, I am enrolled in EE 42, EE 43, American Studies 39A, and MCB 61 (looking forward to Professor Presti again!). Saving CS61C for Phase II. :) I am glad that I have a status of a junior.
