Undergraduates vs. The 12year old

Throughout the year my psychology professor mentioned how his daughter was extremely gifted. Shes 12, meaning she is in grade 8 going into high school next year. One day she asked her dad if she can write our midterm exam and his response was "Of course but if you do I want you to actually work hard on it and study for it." Surprisingly she passed all 4 tests which I found to be amazing because psychology is no easy course. I find it especially difficult just because I'm a BBA student and I'm used to balance sheets and cashflow statements instead of biological terms such as Valium, Xanax, and Buspar. Whats even more shocking is his daughter, the 12 year old girl, beat about half the class on our last midterm. Its either we didn't study hard enough or this girl is studying too much.

I guess my prof told us this story because he wanted to motivate the class. Who the heck wants to remember psychology as the class a 12 year old girl beat them on the final exam? I know that story motivated me to study but when I come to think about it, competing with a grade 8 child is quite depressing. But hey, at least I'm not competing with 5th graders.

Xin's Dragonboat

Xin you know I love the whole Dragon Boat thing and I'll probably join my school's team next year just to compete with you. In saying that, this photo just made me laugh. No homo.
RAWR!
I think this is your cheer.

A little help from Mr. T

So close yet so far from winning a big crossword. If I had got the letter T I would have gotten 7 words. Without it, I only had 1. I was so happy when I got the letter E. I had all the vowels but U in there!I was hoping my pick would be lucky but maybe I need to find another pick to scratch my crosswords.

UFC 111: St Pierre vs. Hardy

Fight Predictions:

GSP vs. Hardy - TKO stoppage by ground and pound in the 3rd round. The Canadian vs. the Brit, its time to show them what we are made of!

Mir vs. Carwin - Close fight. I'm not a fan of Frank Mir but I don't see Carwin being able to pull this fight off. If Carwin wants to stand he will get out-boxed. If Carwin takes Mir down, prepare to see some tapping out. Mir was right when he said "Carwin has to pick his poison on where he wants to lose."

Fitch vs. Saunders - Fitch. Shame it couldn't be Fitch vs. Alves. Fitch better not let this fight go to the judges or I will officially leave the Jon Fitch club (not that I was a big fan of his in the first place).

George Bush likes clean hands

No one likes to have their hands dirty. Who can say they have never wiped their hands on someone before!
