When I started out in high school, I used to fall asleep doing homework. I’d be sleep deprived and when I went home to do homework, I’d end up dozing with my cheek pressed against the textbook. That would only make it harder to do homework, and I didn’t know how to make the process […]
Month: February 2011
What’s up with that?!
From SFN’s Winter 2011 issue of Neuroscience Quaterly: Females represent 50 percent of undergraduate neuroscience majors, 54 percent of predoctoral trainees, 37 percent of postdoctoral trainees, and 44 percent of non-tenure-stream faculty members. In contrast, female represent only 29 percent of tenure-stream faculty members and 26 percent of full professors. Not cool, men. Stop using […]
“I close my eyes in order to see”
It is easier to write, even objectively, when my emotions lead to passions. Are these two separate things? The words come to me when I lose myself to my senses. Are my senses what make me, or rather are the experiences that they allow me to have what makes my self? Either way, I become […]
Hootenannies!!!!
Hootenannies!!!!!!! Viva Hootenannies in the school. There’s always so much going on, but it seems like no one ever knows about them. If you do get your emails forwarded from your QC Email account, you get the emails that announce the weeks’ activities held at QC, but really, who goes …
The WikiLeaks Panel
“Still, why not have the benefit of being thought disagreeable – the luxury of recorded observation?” – Henry James, The Impressions of a Cousin. In late January, the Center for Jewish History hosted a panel of information professionals on the topic of WikiLeaks. I paid the $10 entrance fee and sat in the audience. Scantly […]
Back to Normalcy Again
So it’s our third week into the semester and I guess it’s safe to say that things are going back to normal. The full workload of the semester is kicking in and bound to get more stressful (sorry to burst anyone’s bubble). The routine is pretty much set, and other than a day off this […]
On love.
So, here it is. Another Spring, another Valentine’s Day. February 14th. I was curious, so I looked up the brief history of Valentine’s Day. As some of you may already know, Valentine was a Saint from the 3rd century A.D. He was murdered on this very day, 2/14, because he …
30 things to do before I turn 30.
I know I haven’t even turned 20 yet (I still have a few more months to go —> until October). But I just thought I would just make a list of 30 things I’d like to do/ accomplish before I turn the big 3-0. They’re not in any particular order. 1) go on a cross-country […]
2/13/11 V-day Weekend
All I’ve been looking forward to this whole week was valentine’s weekend since weekend classes are canceled and I have two of them on a Sunday. 12/29/10-1/4/10- My room renovation with bed was done in six days. This was a complete change of my room from baby blue and red carpet to wooden floors and […]
Familiarity Major, Intrigue Minor
There’s so much pressure on college students to choose a major and minor “before it’s too late”. The best advice I’ve received is to challenge myself, to take subjects that I’ve never taken and to experiment with my interests. Although this is good advice, I’ve never really had to follow it. Luckily for me, I […]
