Tele-BEARS Survival Guide

... make sure you don't miss your appointment block.

Signed up for Bio 1B and Chem 3A/3AL today. Second phase isn't until August, so I think it's safe to assume I'll get cocked out of Physics and/or Math.

Tip #5

Actually, I guess this is more of a 'College Threat' than a 'College Tip,' but whatever.

A MESSAGE FOR WHOEVER DRANK MY MILK:

That wasn't milk.

The Woman Question

Here's another woman question: why do they get their own locker room?

Penultimate PoliSci discussion today! As you can see, we discussed the woman question. I didn't enjoy that discussion one bit. Bare in mind, dear readers, that I'm not sexist. Racist, maybe, but not sexist. I just feel a little awkward talking about this feminism stuff.

The Accident, Part 2

You all thought we were talking about something totally different, didn't you?

Thus concludes the two-part story arc. It's actually only half biographical. I did accidentally hit Kiet's girlfriend's in the head with the door, but I did NOT kill his plant.

The Accident, Part 1

Certainly not one of my finer moments...

To be continued!

WebAssign

Existentially speaking, it's the right answer to most questions they'll test you on.

Seniors

What a difference four years makes.

Classics Paper

ARE YOU NOT ENTERTAINED???

Earth Day

"Can't we all just take some time to chill?"

Happy Earth Day.

Oh, by the way, we're fucked if we don't start fixing the environment. Like, right now.

Not a Doctor

"Aw come on! You're acting like being a pregnant man is something new!"

I'm gonna be an awesome doctor.

People's Park on 4/20

That's nothing... you should see Santa Cruz!

Today also marks the anniversary of Paul Revere's midnight ride to warn the citizens of Boston that the British were attacking. The guy must have been high as a fucking kite if he was willing to go through with that.

College Chronicles Babies

Don't they just look cute enough to eat?

Yeah, so the joke here is that high schoolers are babies and you don't truly grow up until you go to college. At least that's the way it is where I grew up. I'm sure the situation elsewhere is different. These adorable little munchkins will be the focus of future strips, so best get used to them!

Cal Day 2009!

Oh, we're off to see the University! The wonderful University of California!

Okay, so to immediately clear things up, I was not on crack when I made this comic.

Cal Day was today! I hope you all had a good time if you went, and burn in hell if you didn't! I had a wonderful time, personally. Saw some interesting stuff, went to some interesting lectures, learned some interesting things. No doubt a worthy experience.

Tip #4

"Ln? Sigma? E? What the fuck kind of Math test is this???"

Math midterm wasn't bad at all. Actually felt pretty good about it.

CAL DAY IS TOMORROW OMGOMGOMGOMG I'M SO EXCITED

Alchemystry

"Oh yeah? Well who needs Chem anyway? I'm filthy rich, bitches!"

Alchemy is complete bullshit. I'm starting to feel its offspring is, as well.

Theta Sigma Pi

They forgot to add "Delta: we accept that things change" to their motto.

I have no idea if this frat exists, or even if there is a Math major frat at all. It would be hilarious if this was actually what it was called, though.

Abolitionist Movement

"I do hope our brothers in the North don't take this the wrong way..."

This is what you get when I pull an all-nighter reading Frederick Douglass and George Fitzhugh. So it actually is pertinent to my daily life, naysayers.

Intrigue

The average score was still 70%, though.

Preparations

"I thought you'd never ask!"

Just about sums up my week.

Relativity

Einstein would be proud. Then he would scold me for my irresponsible behavior.

PHYSICS. Not that I'm in Physics this semester. Hopefully I'll be able to take it next semester, though. Goddamn Tele-BEARS...

Zero Coke Taste, Real Cheap Substitute

I'm SO getting sued for this one.

Yeah, I don't drink soda. And I'm suspicious of free samples. Except at Costco. Those free samples kick ass.

En Memoriam

RIP Nick Adenhart: 1986 - 2009

Democrapitalism

"How'd I get into Cal? A 2270 SAT score and a 4.5 GPA. I just sold my soul to score some devilish good-looks."

"No, as a matter of fact, I haven't yet voted."
"OH REALLY? MIND IF I WALK WITH YOU?"
"Sure... I'm kinda headed to Math right now, though."
"SO YOU SHOULD VOTE FOR ME BECAUSE I WILL IMPROVE OPPORTUNITIES FOR ASIANS ON CAMPUS."
"What makes you think I would be interested in stuff like that?"
"... DON'T FORGET TO VOTE FOR ME!"
"I'll definitely keep you in mind."

Tip #3

"Okay... well... what's 2+2?"

Weather's improving. Maybe the Giants can play today after all. It should be exciting.

Le Chatelier's Principle

My advice is to not make the vroom vroom sounds during a midterm. They'll only tip off the competition as to the correct method.

Opening Day around the MLB today! Yankees fail, so do Tigers, Nationals and A's. Mets' bullpen, however, manages not to fail. Not to toil too much on the past, but Johan Santana would have gone 21-7 last season if his bullpen was worth a damn. Quite excited to see how the action unfurls tomorrow.

Oh yeah, North Carolina won the NCAA tournament. Big surprise.

Opening Day

God, even Torre is more popular than that guy.

Yeah, so the Giants won the game that didn't count. The Dodgers didn't even play their best players. Still exciting, though.

Anyway I'm watching the Braves-Phillies game. Derek Lowe is taking care of business. Could this be a telltale sign for the Atlanta ball club? Short answer: no. Long answer: noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo.

Sather Gate

"Wait... aren't we, like, running out of money or something?"

Yeah, the ol' Gate's back up. Looks just like how I remembered it, but I guess now it won't collapse.

DID YOU SEE THAT MICHIGAN ST. - UCONN GAME??? IT WAS CRAZY!!!

Glasses

"It's actually a clever disguise that I use to blend in with the rest of the Berkeley student body."

Like most Asians, I have terrible eyesight. The scary thing is that my eyesight without corrective lenses is worse now than it was when I first started wearing glasses back in middle school.

Fools

"Welcome to UCSD!"

I personally found this situation hilarious, but I can definitely understand if others are handling this with less levity. I don't know what I would do if a college did that to me when I was applying. I would not think it was hilarious, though.

Tip #2

Tip #2.5: Don't take PoliSci.

Oh crap, my week just went from bad to worse. The ironic thing is that I may have contributed to getting myself into this mess. Let me explain: the PoliSci GSI was taking a survey to see what worked and what didn't work in section. In my survey, I said that during the student-led discussions, there were too many awkward silences after a question was asked since nobody knew the answer. In order to prevent this in the future, the GSI decided to make the discussion leaders finish the questions by Friday so she could email them to the other students and make sure they knew what was going to be covered. I'm so not thrilled about this, especially considering we just started instituting this policy the week I present a topic.
