Welcome to the Bip Report.
 

"Carley and Nani"
Haha.  Nice story ladies.  But really, can it really compete with the Bip Report?  I think maybe yes.  I've never hitchhiked, and that sounds like a decent adventure.
 

"Props to Darren"
Gotta give props to Darren for supplying me with some RAW update since I didn't get to see it.  Much appreciation.
 

"Shaina"
Now for a little reporting, we have Shaina Nishimoto coming up to Berkeley this week to play soccer.  So I plan to go watch Shaina kick some soccer ball.  As we all know, Shaina is awesome, and now I get to see it in action.  Carey, I suggest making this mandatory IM soccer homework, so we can see how a real team functions.  Except for WARD PENFOLD who needs no such tutoring in the arts of soccer.  And Carey too.  And Jon.  But me, Reese, Greg, that girl, and Mike Yang?   Yes.  Mandatory.
 

"Done with my F---ing Econ"
Well not yet.  But I finished my reading, and that is a good thing.  The thing is, I actually enjoy the Econ reading, which is good.  The thing I don't like is that now I must do Stat homework due tomorrow.  I hate Stat.  Never take Stat unless it is absolutly neccessary for your major.  It is not nearly worth the grief.
 

"Gripe of the Day"
My gripe of the day is with English.  My English class is the worst English class ever created.  It sucks.  And for once, it is not because of a Boswell-type crappy ass teacher.  Well, maybe sorta.  But not in the same sense.  My teacher is a nice guy, and well-intentioned.  But he is incompetent as hell.  He just doesn't know how to do things.  The entire class consists of him just talking about whatever book we are reading.  We never get to discuss anything as a group, so we never get to have our ideas evaluated or heard.  This defeats the purpose of English.
Secondly, he is terrible in English type things.  In any other class, spelling is not too important.  But this is English.  He is often spelling words wrong.  They will be minor errors, but the cumulative affect is troubling, since he IS an English teacher.  The worst is when we read "Julius Caesar."  He spelt Caesar wrong.  Several times.  Pretty damn sad if you cannot spell the title of the book you assign.
And he doesn't know the definitions to several words in the text.  He'll come across words and say, "You know.  I really don't know what that word means.  Does anyone know?  No?  Oh.  Oh well." YOU'RE AN ENGLISH TEACHER!!!  You should know this stuff.
Finally, I put together the last piece of my argument, and form my theory.  I got my English paper back today.  I got an A.  But the thing is, I cannot figure out why this paper is any better than my previous B paper.  My theory is that there is no difference.  They reason, and they've told us, that we should get better as the course progresses.  It is therefore logical to them (there's two GSIs by the way) that the first paper be a B, and the second of equal quality be an A.  Because I've learned how to write from them.  Yeah.
So that is my gripe.
 

Okay, I am done.  Until next time, diamonds are forever, and so is aggregate demand.
