Rutgers actually did the sensible thing and closed school! Even though I only had one class today, driving through the snow is never something I look forward to. I spent about over an hour helping my dad clear our driveway. Not too bad until I lost my footing on the ice and had the snow blower nearly fall on top of me. Good times.

I finally saw Slumdog Millionaire, and I loved it! I was worried it wasn't going to live up to all the hype, but fortunately it did. The soundtrack is very addicting.

Good: I'm losing weight! I actually have a class I like, which is Topics in Molecular Genetics.

Bad: The reason why I'm shedding pounds is because I'm so stressed out about biochem lab. Enough so that I feel nauseous and lose my appetite. There's also the fact that Douglass has no food options compared to College Ave.

I nearly crashed two weeks ago. From all the stress, lack of sleep and nutrition, I developed a horrible stomachache and headache for two days. This little episode showed me that I'm probably not cut out for grad school...

Sometimes I really wonder why I never chose to become a business major. Compared to the sciences, it's not that bad.

It's absolutely freezing here! I actually needed my winter coat and a hoodie today.

So I'm thinking of double majoring in microbiology and biomathematics. It'll set my graduation date back a year to take the required math courses. It's very confusing since what I'd really like to study is computational biology. It's kind of the same thing, but not. The whole field is evolving so who knows anymore.

I just found out that my last name is much more awesome than I ever thought it could be! My last name is actually a rank given to the prime minister of the emperor. Related family members of the prime minister took on this title as their last name. Another interesting fact: all the people with 司徒 as their surname may be related. This is due to the fact that we all might share the same common ancestry line. Back in the day, the other two 司徒 branches were killed off. The third branch, which survived, ended up in Guangdong. My dad's family is from Guangdong too, so it all works out. Crazy stuff!
