Happy Week 6!

Have you been keeping up with Christina Nguyen lately? Our belated Birthday girl wants to read your mind with her superpowers, but have no fear because a simple piece of fruit is her kryptonite. Intrigued?


Here's how her interview went:

1. If you can have any superpower, what would it be and why?

Probably telepathy. I think it'd be really interesting to see what everyone's secretly thinking. That and I'm also really nosy hahaha.

2. What can we find you doing when you're not studying hard?

If I'm not studying (which is all the time), I'm probably eating something. I'm a huge foodie so I love going out to eat and trying new foods! Let's be real, my future profits as an optometrist are all going toward food.

3. What is something we don't know about you?

I'm allergic to fruit! It's not deathly, and there's no anaphylaxis or anything, but my throat will swell up/get itchy and my lips can get red and swollen as well. Not like any of this stops me from eating fruit anyway haha.

4. What's your guilty pleasure?

Oh my god, I love trashy reality shows. But not just any trashy reality shows. Trashy reality shows about rich people. My favorites are Real Housewives of Beverly Hills and Vanderpump Rules. If anyone else watches them, we should have a viewing party

5. If you were given $1 million dollars what would you do with it and why?

If I was given a million dollars, I would definitely give at least half of it to my parents. They came from Vietnam with nothing and worked hard to build the life that they have now. They've sacrificed everything they ever had for me, and I want to be able to pay them back one day. As for the other half of the money...that would probably be spent paying off my student loans hahaha cry.

Happy Easter Sunday Eyensteins!!

I hope you are all having a wonderful weekend with friends and family :) We have another busy week ahead.

1. I've heard that many people want a re-vote on moving the Non-Strab BV midterm. I'm assuming it's because we got our Disease MT results and people are more worried about the second midterm. I made a new form to vote for the Non-Strab BV midterm, just as before we would need 75% of the votes to be in-favor or not-in-favor of moving the midterm. Keep in mind that I already notified both Dr. Chu and Dr. Barnhardt that we were all okay with moving the midterm... so I will have to meet with them on Monday to see if they've honored my previous request. With that being said, everyone who cares at all about the matter, please vote by 10pm tomorrow (Sunday, April 4th). https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1LnboIODWdfUBimTUiaweFSfPbWxvcP_W1FzCWmtFVTo/viewform?usp=send_form
