Letdown

For Systems Bioengineering III, we have a course website where the professor posts notes, homework, solutions, and such. Our 1st midterm exam is quickly approaching (Monday). Yesterday, as we (students) logged on to check for updates, we saw that the professor had posted "Exam 1 solutions." We all eagerly clicked on the link, hoping that the professor (or the TAs) had unknowingly posted the solutions to the exam.

What we didn't know was that the link actually connected us to a "Rick Rolling" song on Youtube.

There is a few horribly atrocious things that a professor could do to students. And this is one of them. A sense of humor is not appreciated ... especially in our eternally fragile state.

What I personally didn't know was what "Rick Rolling" meant. Quite pathetic after so many (that is debatable) years in the US. *sigh* Perhaps I'll write a guidebook on vital knowledge for living in the US, and instead of the citizenship examination that immigrants have to take, they can just get a copy of that guidebook. It would be more helpful.

Free food

Thus far, I have lived off free food, friends' food, and random food for the last 13 days. Let's see how many more days I can go without cooking for myself.

Free food sources:
- Meetings that I have attended
- Meetings that I have not attended, but afterwards taken advantage of
- Friends who cook
- Roommate's mother who is in town
- Food I find (in offices, kitchen counter, etc.)
- Random formal-looking campus wide functions

I predict 4 more days.
