Changing final grades
1. Can a prof change a final grade?
2. What's the time window for this? I mean, I don't think I can find a prof from last sem and get him to change that grade right?

Room for rent!
[info]ucberkeley has never failed me! You guys are my last hope. I've posted this on craigslist but no luck so far (yay for finals week!), and I'm trying to rent my room out before my housemate leaves for winter break. If you're looking for a room of your very own close to campus, ( look no further. )

Poll that I hope you all take part in :)
Hey everyone,

So I just graduated, BUT, there's no jobs, oh the hilarity of it all.

I have decided to make a plan, I did a tamale fundraiser for this half marathon I did a while ago and it was a major success, so now I am thinking about fundraising so I can EAT and live of course.

Do you think it'd be a hit if I decided to sell tamales to students for 1.50 each? (dozens and half dozens may be available too.)

I'd start this project next spring and people can come pick them up at my house and stuff, would you like some? What do you think?

I'd be an ordeal learning how to make veggie but I'd make veggie if it kills me.

Chicken & Pork too.

So, would you like?
