2/26    My little cousin got into Berkeley but not UCLA. Back in my days
        this was very uncommon. Is this common now?
        \_ Was he instate our out of state?
        \_ What major?  That could make all the difference.
           \_ I got into Cal but not Irvine, as intended CS major.
        \_ Same thing happened to me...but I applied as a polisci major
           there and as a music major here!
        \_ When I applied for Fall '90 junior transfer into CS, I got into
           Berkeley and San Diego but not LA nor Davis.
        \_ Got into Cal, UCLA, Irvine, UCSD as a freshman.  I do not know what
           a rejection letter looks like.  My letters were all big and fat and
           full of much happiness and joy.
           \_ Congrats on preserving your ego by not applying to Harvard, Yale,
              Stanfurd, Princeton, CMU, ......
              Stanfurd, Princeton, CMU, Cornell, ......
              \_ CMU does not fit. CMU is like UCLA difficulty to get into.
              \_ You think a havud edukayshun is better than what Cal offers?
                 Madness....  Those are just names.  Anyway, I applied to
                 Princeton just for kicks and yes I was accepted but why would
                 I really want to have a piece of paper?  Those aren't schools.
                 They're about penis size.  My dick is big enough without a
                 shitty ivy name on my diploma.  How many Havud grads killed
                 how many companies in the late 90s?  Farm grads?  Yes, thanks.
           \_ How much did your daddy donate?
              \_ *laugh* Nothing.  No one needs to donate to get into UC.
        \_ A friend of mine went to UCLA until the easy access to drugs
           helped him fuck up his life.  He went to some 5th rate school in
           Arizona and last I knew was a late night DJ on the local college
           radio station.  UCLA ROCKS!
           \_ UCLA has easier access to drugs than Cal?! Har.
              \_ Yes.  He was going to Mexico twice a month to pick up a truck
                 load.  You're confused.  You think a few hits of acid, some
                 mushrooms and smoking out with your TA is big time drug
                 activity.  How naive.
                 \_ you must be on crack

8/3     Berkeley now ranks 70, while UCLA ranks 50. Williams College
        is #1.

        \_ Forbes hates public education. A less ideologically biased ranking
           has Berkeley at 22 (which is still a fall from the golden years):

        UCLA is ranked above Berkeley. UCSD is ranked above
        Berkeley. Irvine is ranked one below Berkeley.
        Berkeley has seriously gone done in the past
        two decades. I'm not surprised.
        \_ These aren't "best schools" these are "best value" rankings.

9/26    Cal vs. Oregon:  Were you surprised? </sarcasm>
        \_ I was not surprised the Oregon scored 42 points. I was surprised
        \_ I was not surprised that Oregon scored 42 points. I was surprised
           that Cal only scored 3.
        \_ Not surprised they lost. Surprised at what a thorough ass-kicking it
           was on both sides of the ball. Cal couldn't even put up a TD.

9/23    I'm in grad school part time, and the professor I was trying to get
        to advise me just sent me "What you suggest (remote, part-time, topic
        formulation) doesn't fit my advising style..."  Does anyone know
        what "topic formulation" might mean in this context?  I come with
        funding from work, but the topics I can choose are somewhat limited.
        Could be a reference to that...

2/8     Why does UC suck so hard? I did undergrad at UCB and I hated it.
        Professors couldn't teach, class workload was high, and the system
        was designed to "weed out" students and demoralize them rather
        than teach and encourage them. I always got lower grades than I
        deserved for the amount of work I put in. I don't know if this was
        because of the curve which insists that 50% of students should get
