It's a secret, Day one of Misery

Hiding at Green

 BRAAAAIINNNSSSSS

I'm absolutely terrified right now. I was walking back to my dorm at around 11:50 last night when I was suddenly ambushed at midnights by the screams of zombies. I jumped in fear as at least about thirty zombies came running out of nowhere. They continued howling in demonish voices, voices of pure "I want to eat you"ness. I ran for it, leaving my bike Cher. I made it to Green Library where most of it was secured. I decided to hide in the stacks for the night till the zombies finished their crazy howling. I've never been that terrified, ever! As I was hiding, I knew there were zombies in the libary. I could hear them.  So I couldn't use my laptop as MacBooks are super loud when they turn on (damn drive is so loud).

The Stacks, always a safe place

I stayed watch and decided it was safe to move at around two in the morning. I managed to make it back to my dorm alive, by then I ran into my RA. He is still a zombie, sadly :( I managed to get sleep and recharge for another day of zombie evading.

Peter Thiel at Stanford

PETER THIEL 

Peter Thiel came to talk today at Stanford University about entrepreneurship and how his company that he started, PayPal, became more and more popular. I helped set up the event with BASES volunteers and we got the ball rolling!

BASES Peeps!

He first started with talking of California and Silicon Valley, how its become such a place of entrepreneurship and affluence. He jokes that "why would somebody move to Oklahoma from California".  He then moves to which businesses have been successful, those being mainly in the internet business. He makes sure to point out that companies need to look ahead and think of the future. From here, he moves into talks of past man's hopes, those of living on the moon, Mars or even Jupiter. After this is when he really moves into his main focus of his discussion: entrepreneurship slowing down in the past 25 years. 

Peter Thiel and I :D

According to Thiel, in the seventies and eighties, progress was quick. "There were far more drug innovations in the seventies and eighties then in the last twenty years..." Thiel's main worry is that people are not really moving forward, innovation is slow at the moment.

Setting up for the event!

He moves into the example of China, and of it being great and doing tremendous amounts of work, but it being bad at innovation. It will catch up to the US according to him because it uses the innovations of China. 

He reemphasizes "intrinsic growth" and his example that for something to go from zero to one, it takes a lot more effort then from going to one to n. What he means that for some sort of innovation to start, it usually fails or is really difficult to start from zero to one. Such is the example with Facebook. It started from the (1-n) field when other social networking businesses that came before Facebook *cough cough Myspace* started in the (0-1) field when the jump was much bigger and there was a lot more to use.

He later took questions from people... These are some of my favorite. (and not word by word)

If you're going to take a risk, go big on your company.

Be passionate in your company, and take pride in it.

Don't be afraid for risk, and actually do sacrifice. 

Successful company's CEOs make under 120 grand!

So up here studying at Green

Things are quiet! QUIET! I can hear zombies outside, but they are being kept at bay thanks to these awesome peeps! But anyways, I'm working on CS assignment little schemer. I'm not cool like the other kids that finish it so fast, but I am attempting to finish it by today so I can work on my other CS assignment due Friday as well. Hmmm, I'm a little behind work but that's ok :D

Tonight I'm going to a BASES event in which Peter Thiel is coming to talk at Tressidor. For you guys that don't know Peter Thiel, he is the cofounder of PayPal and is the first primary investor in Facebook. He is an amazing individual whose networth is currently estimated at 1.3 Billion Dollars. That's a lot of dough! Amazing! Well anyways better be going to some awesome CS! ADIOS, and remember, zombies do not like light! Use a bike light! 

ZOMBIES!!!! Hide yo' kids and hide yo' wife, cause they're eating e'erbody out here!

No no, not the Cranberries!

NO REAL ZOMBIES!!!!

No one told me but apperently Dead Week means that zombies run rampent around Stanford University eating people's brains. Apparently so Stanford University is a big place for brains to gather and Zombies tend to garner around where there are a lot of brains. Why they show up a week before finals is fairly uncertain. One extreme theory is that due to the high amount of studying and less activity at the Frats, zombies have been able to finally catch up with the pace of Stanford Students. Approximately 50 unlucky students have been eaten and turned into zombies, among them being my RA Jordan... 

 And only a week before finals... I'm astounded. Only yesterday I was making my way through Main Quad, and suddenly these Zombies came running out after me. I managed to make it away in time. 

HOW TO SURVIVE DEAD WEEK

1. Stanford Police have managed to secure the libraries and dorm houses on campus, they are the best place to hole up.

2. Silence is key. If you're not silent, they will hear you... AND EAT YOU!

3. Always have non-perishables and water.

4. Always have an escape route. Make sure that you don't end up in closed spaces... Like the alley between Green Library and School of Education. 

5. AND.... CARDIO! ;)

Have fun Zombie Hunting!!!

Inception Deception!

INCEPTION!!!!!

Inception was awesome at Flicks today. Not a huge turnout of people, but everybody is trying to catch up from the "No-Work" relaxing break which was awesome! I mean, I did try and do some work but for the most part, didn't work out. But anyways to Inception... After seeing it a second time... HE WAS DEFINITELY STILL ASLEEP!!! The choice of words of when he went to see his family reveal how stuck he is still asleep. I think in my opinion that Mal actually woke herself up when she killed herself and that Cobb is still stuck in that deep sleep. Catch up to Mal man!!!!! 

Looking fly for Flicks!     

So happy that my CME group also finished our group assignment on time... AWESOME SAUCE!!! This is the first time I've ever gone to class actually feeling good and awesome! Thanks group!!!
