It is officially over for my first year in the Ph.D. program. Hopefully I will see great results for my prelims next week. I have never studied this hard since the college entrance exam. During the preparation time, the university's chancellor jumped off the tallest apartment building in San Francisco. I've never seen her before(you can see how distant graduate students are from the place where we spend our youth), but the news still sent a shock wave throughout the campus anyway. The first thing we discussed right after the prelim was exactly the death of the head of school. Of course, her being gay added some gossip ingredients. Well, it's over for her, too. I don't know her, but rest in peace.
