Back in Blue & Gold

So I'm finally back at Berkeley. It took a while to realize but I've finally come to the conclusion that I really did miss it. I think the reason why I was so miserable last semester is because I was doing poorly in some of my classes and was afraid of failing... which I didn't, so hooray! I'm really excited to start my new classes and continue to explore all that Berkeley has to offer. Especially since I only have class 2 days a week, so I'll have plenty of time to join organizations and work on my music and such... something that always keeps me very happy. Maybe I'll even get a job, but it's too soon to say.

In other news, the inauguration this morning was amazing. You really can't beat watching something like that with thousands of other students in the middle of a college like Cal. Just one more thing I've come to love about my home away from home.

FYI - Don't resell your textbooks if you don't get at least half back what you paid for them! I bought a book for about $100 and got $5 back for it... I should have just kept it, so now I have to go bitch at the textbook store to try to get them to sell it back to me.

My Town

Hey everyone,

It is so good to be home and with all of you! I've really missed everyone up at Berkeley and this break has been just what I needed. San Diego is my one true home, and I can't imagine living anywhere else.

Someone asked me if I was excited to go back to Cal and I flat out told them, "NO." I mean don't get me wrong, Berkeley is everything I was looking for in a school and I love it, but I can not stand my living conditions. Here's a short list of the things I find myself struggling to live without:

- a kitchen
Dorm food is HORRIBLE, can you say Freshman 15?

- private (clean) bathroom
1 bathroom, 32 co-ed students... you do the math

- MY CAR
"Don't need directions, don't need a map
If we get lost I'll be good with that
Yeah we'll find a way to make the time pass
Window rolled down with the heat on high..."

- The beach
There is nothing better than grabbing a burrito and heading to the beach after school

- a TV + PS2
College can get pretty boring, believe it or not...

- a full bed
It's really more about the privacy of having my own room... you know, the whole only child thing and having space to BREATHE

- ALL OF YOU!
No really, I miss you guys A LOT!

So I'm headed back to Cal on January 18th, so if you want to see me and haven't gotten to while I've been here, give me a call and we'll hang out!
