angry sighs

"I hate you. I don't want to ever see your sorry face again."

Oddly enough, when people say that (or imply that at least), they don't actually mean it. It's very strange. I mean it at the time. Now I know how it feels to be the victim. Or at least the one who was cast away. I was the one who did it...and it wasn't surprising that a lot of people got hurt. I guess I shouldn't be surprised either that they don't want to talk to me anymore.
But what's up with the fact that someone decided to unblock me? I don't know why it makes me mad. If you make an opinion or a choice, you must stay with that for the rest of your life. Regrets are not the way to live life.

This week was the last week of class for the semester. :) On Thursday, Professor Poonen finally proved a proposition he made earlier in the semester when going through the logic chapter. "I can put my whole fist in my mouth."
Now, Poonen is a professor. An authority figure. A graduate of MIT (probably with honors). Several mathematical theorems proved. Looks wild when seen up close (but I guess that's how math geniuses look like close up). When he was a high school student, he won the nationwide math contest three years in a row. Three years in a row. Do you really expect him to put his whole first in his mouth?
Yes. :) He asked the class whether we had any last minute questions before the final. One student asked for a true/false example question (indeed, his true/false questions are killed...5 points straight for the right answer). Poonen tilted his head back for a bit...thinking of one. "True or false? I can put my whole fist in my mouth."
Sleepy students woke up. Someone yelled, "Prove it! Prove it! Prooof!"
With that, he dusted off the chalk on his hands and promptly stuck his entire first in his mouth. The class roared with applause. Sweet.
Too bad I probably won't have him as a math professor again.

As for CS61B, I suddenly want to be part of HKN, the EECS honors society. Too bad I am in CS. I can be part of UPE, the CS honors society. Unfortunately, I don't get the good HKN stuff. Engineering societies get to play capture the flag though. :) In the dark. Can you imagine? Thousands of Berkeley geeks runing around the campus wild...heh, I must work harder to get in the top percentile of my year. Geeky rowdiness.

Orisinal is cool.

Stacee came and visited me again. :D I dragged her to the final CS61A lecture by Professor Harvey. Not surprisingly, he was giving the same lecture he did on the last day of class last semester. The story about how CS60C (the old version of CS61B) students attempted to write a tree problem using loops rather than recursion. (Oddly enough, my cs61b TA Steve discouraged us from using recursion..."recursion is for sissies!").
Good stuff. :)
I think I got Stacee bored...but hey it was interesting for me. We then wandered to Cafe Durant...and had crepes. Yummy stuff. My card is getting zonked though.
Saw Ocean's 11 with Tram and Christina. Spent too much on movie snacks. I don't think I'll ever spend that much ever again. The movie was surprisingly good. I thought it was going to be some...movie with a poor see-through plot with stupidly constructed characters. Expectations proven wrong. Charming. Slick.
Good director.

My sis came back! :) We went to get food at Safeway late at night...and made crepes spread with our new jar of Nutella. Yummy!
