Berkeley made me fat.
Freshman 15 is real. REAL. The food here is.. well let's put it this way... they have their good days and their bad days. You know your "Asian" food will suck when a _______ (insert race other than asian) guy makes it. On the other hand, some highlights include a made-to-order omelet station at lunch and a Pho Bar for dinner. MMM MM Good... (too bad they come once in a while.) Oh, and their sandwiches are pretty good too.
I think I've become a coffee addict. About a month ago, there was a health tip poster (they post weekly health poster in the toilet stalls so you can read while you do your business) about caffeine. I think the whole purpose was to discourage you from drinking too much coffee, but I think it had the opposite affect on me. I had the impression that caffeine is good for you and that it helps you study and ace mid-terms, and what not. So the very next day, BOOM! COFFEE!
Here's another caffeine related story. My uncle went to Costco and bought a whole case of Rockstar Energy drink. Yep. 24 cans of pure sugar that will make you jump off a bridge. At any rate, about a week and a half ago, I had midterms on consecutive days so I was studying to the wee hours of the morning (something I don't usually do). I downed a can at 1 am.. and that kept me going until 3:30 am. Then I decided to take a 4 hour 'nap' before my next class. I woke up around 7, downed ANOTHER can, and went to class. At 9 am, I went into the class and CRANKED that midterm out like it was nothing! WOO. Yeah.. and I crashed afterward. GG. I don't think having 2 cans in that short period time is a good idea.
Now on the academic side. Berkeley, well, it's another Lowell.. except there isn't as much work and tests. But it's friggin' hard to get an A. Meaning.. an A- is what you would consider a C. Even if you do get an A, chances are that you and 40% of the class did so too. But overall, it's not bad. It's good.. it's chill...
So...
How's everyone doing? How's college? How's life? It's been two months since I've seen most of you guys.
Yeah... I kind of miss the DeeDeeDee'ness and eating pho and being stupid... Good times... good times...
Oh, I also got tired of seeing Bryan's face on this page every time.
PS. you can call me a fatboy next time you see me.
PSS. You can enjoy the sunset with me too.
