I read the editorial on Sept. 22 titled “It’s going to be a bumpy ride” with great emotion. The California Aggie asked readers whom we should blame for the rising cost of our education. Fortunately, I know who is to blame for the rising tuition rates, at least this year.

One of the biggest fears of incoming freshmen is always, “Will I get along with my roommate or will I be stuck with the guy who stays up till 4 a.m., never showers and perpetually leaves food out?”

Within two months of learning that Netflix would be splitting its DVD mailing – now known as Qwikster – and streaming capabilities into two services, priced at $7.99 each or $15.98 for both, nearly one million Netflix customers cancelled their subscriptions.

The Davis City Council is planning to cut $2.5 million from its budget. A city council meeting on Sept. 27 held a budget workshop that addressed unfunded liabilities and how the city may execute the cut.

It’s too bad that I have to wait until Tuesday to file my comment on the Berkeley College Republican bake sale. Since my column last week, the story in its various permutations have sprinted their course through the media. A variety of news outlets ran the initial story, talking heads passed their judgment and by virtue of the story’s proximity to Davis, most folks here have probably decided where they land on the controversy.

As I mentioned last week, I’m a tall girl. I’m 5’11”, in case you never finished reading my column like my friend Ben. In fact, my chem honors teacher in high school wrote, “You’re hella tall and you can totally ball” in my yearbook — apparently, I didn’t make much of an impression in learning any chemistry (that should explain me being a poli sci major). There are definitely perks to being so high above the ground (I can reach the top shelf!) but as tall girls everywhere know, it’s not easy being tall.

There are hierarchies here that go completely unobserved to the untrained eye. After three years of people watching, I have developed a keen sense of what lifestyle someone leads just by looking at them.

Henry “Hoby” Wedler is just like any Ph.D. student studying chemistry at UC Davis. He spends countless hours conducting experiments and reads endless amounts of complex material. Yet he will never see a chemical reaction and he learns chemistry by using audiobooks.
