"it's not always rainbows and butterflies
it's compromise that moves us along"

i am so tired. but i've barely even started.

i'm working right now with the mcnair scholars symposium here on campus, a bunch of undergraduates from all over the country doing particular research (almost like theses) on every known subject. and now that i'm working this thing, the way it's looking, it just doesn't stop.

starting this weekend, i'll be working the symposium one more day, and then i'll be in a four-day teaching assistant orientation program until wednesday, then it's straight to davis until sunday, then it's orienteering freshmen into berkeley for a week after, and then it's the first day of classes.

speaking of classes, i'm taking a cool sixteen units next fall: two linguistics classes, one in historics and the other in phonetics, a class on urbanization and city planning, a statistics class for engineers, and a journalism class in comedy writing.

somewhere in there i have my birthday. i forgot where.

in any event, i hope you all saw bill clinton on the daily show this past monday. makes our good ol' president look like a buffoon, because clinton knows how to be intentionally funny. (remember? "fool me once, shame -- shame on you. fool me -- can't be fooled again." that is sheer genius.)

back to reality.

everyone's somewhat going nuts. (me included.) it's not healthy for us.

although i have to say, the olympics better be damn good this year, because i cannot wait to see hot athletes showing off their stuff during primetime television. plus, natalie coughlin (from cal!) might be getting her very own olympic gold medal.

it all went by so fast. damn.
