Things on my mind

  • SF Ballet season starts this week. I’m a little excited, but also trying to figure out how the hell I’m going to get to SF on time each night. Also, I need to figure out what night to go to.
  • So some people in my stats class study group busted out Fubini’s Theorem, which evidently is a real theorem. I thought they were joking around, like, you know, DeDerp’s theorem or something. It’s actually a pretty cool result: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fubini%27s_theorem
  • Rainy days are kind of miserable.
  • No one wants to hire a statistician for a summer internship. This is depressing and also very confusing. I’m pretty sure what I’m learning is very useful, yet all companies seem to want are programmers.
  • I need some other extracurricular activity besides TKD. I really have no idea what else to do, though. Sitting alone in the apartment all weekend is kind of depressing, but I guess that’s life.

Things on my mind

  • I don’t think Taylor Swift uses “scarlet letter” correctly in her song “Love Story.” I mean, is it adultery if neither parties are married? I don’t think it is. And if Romeo in her song is married, then that just makes the entire thing kind of creepy.
  • I feel like I’m stuck in a pit of indecision and sadness. Time has become much more tangible since I’ve started TAing, and it does not feel that great.
  • To my dismay, not much news on the Marit Larsen front.
  • I think I’m going to not do too well in a lot of classes this quarter.
  • I am eagerly awaiting a thermos tea tumbler that I ordered. I’m hoping it will keep me awake during late afternoon classes.

Things on my mind

  • First sections as a TA for me start tomorrow. I’m a little scared. I also hope my sectionees aren’t stalking me already.
  • Pretty tired of classes already. Too bad I can’t even get an internship anywhere.  All I really want to do is watch Gossip Girl, which is kind of a terrible show but I can’t stop watching it.
  • Evidently it slipped my attention that Chrono Trigger was made for the DS. That should be exciting.
  • Tina LeBlanc is retiring this season. She’s 42?!?

  • SF Ballet season is starting soon, which will alleviate some of this boredom of mine.
  • My fantasy basketball team has somewhat stabilized into mediocrity, which is fine by me if I can make it to the playoffs.
  • I’ve been trying to work on the Netflix prize, but I just can’t seem to get enough motivation to make any progress. And now that schoolwork is ramping up again, I think this may be a doomed failure.
