Paradise Lost
We alternate between the realms of reality and dreams. We find ourselves constantly attempting to escape to the other when one realm becomes too boring, too tenuous, too dangerous.
When she was just a girl She expected the world But it flew away from her reach so She ran away in her sleep and dreamed of Paradise, Paradise, Paradise Every time she closed her eyes
Reality hurts, and the pain...
craziness
friend: i tried putting salt and pepper and soy sauce in tea before at a restaurant and the people looked at me really strangely
menglinruan asked: previously but I think it was something along the lines of "it's not easy to assimilate with the men because the environment is harsh and critical" ... uhh.

I need to start off by saying I don't typically hang out with the people in the class, so I was taking a huge step outside of my comfort zone to sign up for the class. I dropped AP Chinese (BEST DECISION EVER) and talked with the teacher and finally decided...

Gender Gap
So last week, someone asked me about the gender gap inside SHS and beyond. I’d never actually considered that question before. I haven’t posted anything in a while, so I thought I’d give this topic a try.
When I was at Berkeley last week sitting in on a computer science class, there were 3 girls… and around 40 guys. Well, there were actually only 2 girls. But one of the...
i've forgotten how to study.. but now its slowly...
Lang midterm and the physics test on the same day? And coincide with the badminton seasonal opener?
