7/16    Dear self righteous German John. I challenge you a game. I will
        learn enough English and graduate from America's top public
                             \_ "to graduate"
                                \_ "to be graduated"
        university, you and you will learn enough east asian language to
                    \_ superfluous "you"
        graduate from any sub-tier university. May the best man win.
        \_ Congrats on your accomplishment.  John's point that you
           should sharpen your English skills because it'll enhance
           your success in the real world is valid, though.  Face it,
           just as in the motd, the real world is full of assholes
           who'll judge you on your language skills.  --PeterM

        all the requirements to graduate in May, but already have an
        internship lined up for the summer and was planning to use the
        semester afterward to take some courses I haven't had a chance
        to yet (graphics, distributed systems (if they add the course),

        they received some financial help from their family. Only 42 percent

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
