aww, deb.. you've accomplished so much!  i know it sounds all corny, but seriously, don't let anyone tell you otherwise.  freaking semesters of straight A's in engineering at berkeley, saluditorian from newark memorial, NCS champ multiple times (haha i was happy ambrish let me go to mvals), getting all these scholarships to help pay for school, getting an awesome internship in india of all places, learning so much chinese in taiwan, living it up in france for a summer, being able to throw strong punches (ahem... bruise on my thigh in hawaii and on my arm in vegas hahah), being able to bench the bar 100 times at rsf, but most of all, being a really good friend/roommate and making my berkeley experience survivable - you helped me get through chem1a/math1a, helped me find the slc, taught me about yogurt park and intermezzo, and so much more... you made taiwan livable, too - despite the toilets... or lack, thereof.  i wouldn't be stuck in the snow in boston if it weren't for you hahaha *hug* i love you, boah
