UC Acceptance Dates
I have been following a UC information blog, and it has been very accurate. To day it released a list of dates when each UC will send out its decisions! Good luck, only ten days until the most important one!

10 Questions
I have already been talking to experts in the fields that I am currently studying, and I have also been talking to experts about college, so I am just going to state questions that I have already asked.
1) How difficult is it to transition from UCLA to Cambridge.
2) What is it like working as a university professor?
3) What are your current studies?
4) What kind of music do you like?
5) What could I read to help me learn about this topic?
6) Have you seen, or do you know anything about the cricket club at UCLA?
7) Please tell me about your time at UCSD.
8) What inspired you to research this subject?
9) Could you look at my [random project or area of study], and give me feedback on it?
10) What is your favorite thing about what I am asking you about?

Cosmos: A Personal Journey
Again, I felt that I wanted to expand upon my earlier post about humanity that stemmed from a discussion about Brave New World. This time, I would like to expand on the importance of Carl Sagan's original Cosmos to progress my argument about human nature.
The Gods Must Be Crazy
I felt that I wanted to expand upon my earlier post about humanity that stemmed from a discussion about Brave New World. The Gods Must Be Crazy is a South African cult film released in 1980, that shows the interactions between the Bushmen of Africa, and the South African city dwellers.
In Class: Brave New World
In class we decided to show that we had read Brave New World by posting about it:
The biggest thing that I got from this book was how society and human nature do not change. This morning, I talked to my father for about two hours about the world, and how we view it, and I wish that I had this conversation to put up on this blog, as it was very enlightening for a variety of reasons.

Resource of the Day: Cambridge Department of Pharmacology
This site greatly helped me understand what I have in store at Cambridge in four years, and what I will need to do to be accepted into the department: http://www.phar.cam.ac.uk
Benchmark
Although I still do not completely understand this project still, I am going to give you an update on what I am doing, and what is to come with this project. So far, I have generally been studying the my plans after college. While most people are starting ventures that are in their general field of study for later in life, I cannot do this, because I intend to go into Pharmacology, which you can really only do with many years of higher level schooling. As this will be my way to change the world in the future, I must study everything I can now, so that I will be ready for the schooling ahead of me. I have reached out to many of the people I listed earlier in the post "Super 5," and the ones who wrote back have been very helpful, especially a man named Daan Frenkel.
