What else can I do but beg?

So, I sent a long letter expressing interest in Berkeley, my manager is writing a long rec as we speak... any other thoughts?

I have kind of debated whether I should send a copy of my senior thesis from college.  I know they won't read it, but they might be impressed by the sheer length.

I think I will send one more letter.  Any other ideas?

Endow them with an international airport.  Boalt could use an international airport.

(bonus points if you know that this is a reference too, and it doens't really have anything to do with Boalt. . .)

We have a winner.    That's not much of an ep, but that scene is priceless.
