hmm.. found this post in the draft folder. dates to nov 2011.
wow. its been a year + since i've been to berkeley

well said Mr. Santiago, my Mexican philosopher - It is all but a distant dream.

"Exactly one year since I first set foot in Berkeley. It's amazing how fast time passes even though it only feels like yesterday. Such a great place!....I still remember walking from the BART station to Ihouse that first time along Bancroft with my suitcases. It felt like such a large and foreign place, but by the end it was like we made that cozy little town feel like home. It's sad all good things must come to an end." - D (11/1/12)

hmm.. it was a good time.

quote

"In support of tomorrow's protest, my Anthro professor cancelled class and wrote to us, "There is a darkness on our campus right now, and if solidarity with those who want to bring back the light helps at all, that's what I'm doing. Let there be Light. Go Bears.""
- Joyce

last days at ihouse. belated posts. oops

party in my room!

last ihouse party was Saturday night. was really great. but i only stayed for 2omins as it became dangerous. too much beer split on the floor. slippery and hazardous. poor mayura fell.
being me, i hung around the food. yay chips and red velvet choc cupcakes, of which i nicked a box for Emmanuel.

this is he...
the look makes me go funny inside =P

last meal at ihouse was dinner.
topic of conversation was Johannes' poll of "Do you prefer guys that shave their arm pit hair".

paraphrase_
"do you shave your arm pit hair? It gets smelly, yuck" johannes
" you just shower then" santiago

The conclusion. "apparently its a German guy thing to do" weird. lol

checking out Susie's travel diary and amending her memories lol

cram time again.

road trip on weekend was amazing. love road trips with friends. (post pics later lewl after i finish my essay think pieces)

pop quiz today.ugh feel asleep reading in the library yesterday.
i dunno if i should celebrate or be punished having not read 98% of what we were suppose to,
but miraculously obtaining 100% on the pop quiz ><"
the irony of getting better marks than when i did read word for word the whole chapters, confuzzles me

must study harder for finals. zaarrghh. its end of semester already. and I have SOO much more travelling and exploring to do and soo little time to hang out and get to know people here. gahhhh...

on the side_
an interesting post whilst researching for my paper

day in the life of berkeley..

the walkway i always pass

finally snapped one!

so i'm back. and its soo sunny outside!!

this is on campus!!

so pretty eh?!?!

so i'm back. and its soo sunny outside

a neat 26 degrees today. time to wip out the sunnies. walking down to class after awesome lunches at ihouse of which i dont have to cook or clean, a downhill trot. "hey sandra" here and there from friends is quite pleasant and surprising. i always look at the footpath (sidewalk as they call it) when i walk, so when this massive arm comes waving in my face, smash.

walking past sproul plaza would be equivalent of walking past south lawn at melb uni, except there is a huge buzz of activity. its student election times and mainstream pop *cough junk* music is blasting in the background, people are dancing and carrying vote for "x" signs.tables are set out every morning as if every week is o-week at berkeley. ahhaha.. he is holding a sign saying "Free Naps"

walked past the a capella groups singing lovely melodies and harmonies as usual.

sitting in the shade outside doing readings til class start

it was someone's birthday today in class, so he rocked up late and in his birthday suit. hmm.. he's a funny one. lecturer allows it and he sits up the back.

i can really do with some yoghurtland right now. hmmm...american version of healthy icecream smashed with lollies.. yuuuuuum

mid term results so far
history of film: 96%, essays
