September 28, 2005 After bearing another Russian history course and taking notes during an interesting lecture on 19th century conceptions of race, I found myself at the A3C, doing some catch-up reading for CASA (since I moved section to 1) and some other random work. Section for CASA was ...

September 27, 2005 Second day of classes. History 120A wasn't any better and Professor Kollman rambled about Russia with some mediocre slides. Lunch was likewise mediocre - stupid buffet food. I miss Tokyo food! Chinese Language 6 - Beginning Conversational Chinese. I'm excited about this course! The intructor ...

September 26, 2005 First day of classes! History 120A - Russia 988-1762 first. Professor Kollman wasn't very exciting and she couldn't get her slide projector working, so it was kind of pointless to go, except to get the syllabus. However, the workload doesn't seem like too much ...

September 24, 2005 For some odd reason, I woke up around 7am. I rolled around until 8am. I got up and decided to go jogging. Worst decision ever. I went for about 10 minutes and when I stopped, my head was about 10 feet behind me. I had a ...

September 22, 2005 With the help of jet lag, I was up at 7am, moving stuff from our storage box into my room. Since all of the stuff we stored (we being Harry, Mariana, Eric, Phoebe, and me) was all mixed together, I ended up taking everyone's stuff to ...

September 21, 2005 I went to another Asian American History class taught by David Yoo. He talked more about immigration exclusion acts in the late 1800's/early 1900s. I spent the next hour talking with Mai and Sophia in the courtyard of Smith Campus center. Mai's from Tokyo, so she ...

September 20, 2005 Jet lag hit me hard again today - I woke up feeling really hungry and the only thing I could find in Eric's room were a few Pringles. After I ate those, my stomach REALLY HURT! Somehow, the pain passed and I was able to make it ...
