Things I Learned Today While Studying for an Exam

1. A gunner is a student who is always trying to learn every detail and every mechanism of every reaction in everything. Nearly all the Asian medical student population is made up of them.
-1(a) If you study in the same Starbucks as a group of gunners (a.k.a. former biochem majors), you will freak out because they know so much and you know so little.
2. The student housing office will not call you all summer and will not offer you a place to live until the day BEFORE an exam, AFTER you've already been living somewhere else for a month. Then they will require you to sign a lease within the week or else they give it to someone else. Never mind that you might have to give 30 days' notice at your current domicile.
3. Your roommate will inevitably, although not necessarily purposefully, eat your food. Chances are good that it's going to be on a day that you don't have time to go get more. (In my case, he finished my box of cereal on Monday. I thought it might have been his houseguests that left that morning, so I said nothing and bought another box. This morning, Thursday, I went to get my nearly-full new box of cereal to eat breakfast before I ran out the door, and discovered it was all gone and the empty box was sitting in the trash.)
-3(a) The cereal that your roommate eats will invariably be the good granola that costs more than the crap that he bought. So if you, in turn, eat your roommate's cereal, you will be unsatisfied and disappointed.
4. Southern California can cool down on occasion.
5. Bugs walking across a window can be incredibly fascinating.

Hey, don't knock my internet activity when I should be studying for exams. Look what happened two years ago when I was "studying" for an exam! =)
