Yiddish Wisdom says a sleepless night is the worst punishment. I found that out first hand last night. For some reason, despite being very tired, I could not fall asleep. I had a bad headache and I felt cold. After awhile, my mind started playing games about not falling asleep. I think I got a…

It’s Been Awhile
Sorry, no postings for a few days, I have been extremely busy. Lots of things to take care of while still doing the normal doses of class work and reading. I am pretty sure this is going to be the busiest part of the semester for me. The initial research stage for my research on…
President’s Day
Today definitely felt like another Sunday – late wake-up, reading, and laziness. I got some work done through it all and even went on an Oak Creek run. I felt flat on the run, but pressed onward, finishing quite tired at the end. However, I covered a relatively good amount of ground over the 48…
Year of the Golden Pig
Happy Chinese New Year – the year of the golden pig! Yesterday I joined in on a Chinese New Years celebration and had some tasty traditional Chinese cuisine (not the American style). I watched the participants make the food on-the-spot. Update to post on too many boys in China: More bad news for Chinese men,…
February? Really?
As of 2:30 pm, it’s 72.4 degrees here in sunny Stanford, California and the temps are still rising! Sure doesn’t feel like a mid-winter day. The skies area gorgeous blue and the air is clear. I’d call this Saturday in mid-February a gem – only in Cali! Before I get too comfortable in shorts…
Weekday Review
I’ve been writing about mountain photography the past few days, so here is a little review of what has gone down this week here at Stanford. I have made good progress on my research paper on the “Hydrological Impacts of Alpine Glacier Recession in the Pacific Northwest.” The emphasis of the paper is on the…
Weekend
A kinda boring way to wrap the weekend. I basically just read, watched tv, surfed the net, read more, researched, and went to the gym. The gym workout was productive, however. I first ran for 37 minutes on the treadmill (easy shake-out run) and then lifted a bit working shoulders and pecs. I did dumbbell…
Busy Friday
Yesterday was a busy day. I had class 8-10 am and then again from 11-12:20 pm. Then I had a meeting with my group members for the Environmental Entrepreneurship business plan project from 3:30-5:30 pm. Right after that I went to a great dinner at a professor’s house. The food and company were delicious! The…
Research Shift
The research for Venture Capital has no shifted to analyzing the influx of Chinese Solar Energy companies going public on American stock exchange and the implications for the VC industry looking to invest in China and the solar energy sector in general. It took awhile, but with the help of the professor, I have reached…
Sleep and Sickness
Sleep is so important for health of the mind and body. When I don’t get enough sleep (8-9 hours), my head spins in the morning and my body is weakened. My immune system gets depleted and I am susceptible to colds. A textbook example of this was this past weekend. I had not been getting…
