frequent flier miles used!
After much debate last night with my dad, we finally used the remaining frequent flier miles to pay for our family’s trip to Hawaii. May 27 till June 10. I excite. It’s the first time we’ve taken a non-California/non-family-related trip all together in 6 years. The idea of Hawaii has been floated for years, but we never really acted on it. When I was younger and we travelled more...

British music: female non-Adele edition
I discovered a lot of music while abroad that I love love love now that I’m 99% I would’ve never discovered if not for going abroad. I particularly fell in love with female pop singers. I love me my Katy Perry, Rihanna, and Lady Gaga, but I found the music that was coming out in the UK fresher/edgier. So I’m posting some of my favorites in case you’re interested in getting...
A few thoughts
1) iTunes has some really good free music
2) I hate people who listen to music on their phones without headphones on public transit. Ever consider others don’t like it? Oh god now he’s singing…
3) GO OREGON
4) GO OKLAHOMA STATE
5) Disneyland, why is your weather forecast so warm (70s)? Generally, this is good, but not not when I didn’t bring any warm weather clothes...

On Consoling Friends
kavtrack:
Me: I feel like I can relate to the “Forever Alone” meme pretty well. Friend: You’re not forever alone, just temporarily alone!
well, if it’s any (more) consolation, my mom said she doesn’t expect me to get into a relationship for at least another 3 years. and she said it in this no-nonsense way that implied fact and acceptance =_=

good god Frenchie's girlfriend is so cute
While still in England, Frenchie (AKA Sebastien) started dating this girl he met while on a trip back home to France. They’re still dating and she’s said she’d be willing to move to Canada or the US with him, since he doesn’t really want to go back to France to work. Anyway, while in England, she messaged me asking for our UK address so she could send him a letter. And...
semester reflection, goals for the next
This is probably the semester where I’ve drank the most while at Berkeley (last semester might still win overall). It’s also the semester where I’ve had 2/3 of the bad hangovers in my life.
But it’s also the semester where I’ve worked the hardest and gotten the best grades.
Before, I think I kinda just floated along. I mainly stayed home, but it’s not like...

Good: got my first grade back and solid A
Bad: I’m currently on an AMF-induced hangover

fuck you disney
So I haven’t really had an “OMG I miss England and my Warwick friends so much it hurts so bad fuckkkkkkk” moment for awhile. Until Disney! I was trying to look up Disneyland tickets for when me and my sister go in January (woot! sister bonding road trip!), when I saw a link for Adventures by Disney, their travel tour program. I was curious so I clicked through and decided to...
Activism
kavtrack:
I notice that a lot of engineers are very apathetic to social issues that exist in today’s society. They tell themselves, “Oh, I’m an engineer, I don’t need to pay attention to _____.” It’s as if they have some superior complex that makes them “immune” to these social issues.
Okay, so maybe you are really busy doing your problem sets and projects. But that doesn’t make you exempt from...
just won $50 to the student store
I entered the study abroad photo contest not really expecting much because I just took my pictures with a point and shoot and I could tell everyone else had been using those fancy big-ass cameras. But lo and behold I won the landscapes category!
YER
oh good god
I have cousin in Sweden right now going through culinary school (yes, Sweden is random, but it’s because he’s half Swedish and it was easier to get into culinary school in Sweden than the US), so my news feed has been littered with lots of “IT’S SO COLD!” lately.
So I click on his profile to see what he’s been up to, and OMG I DIDN’T REALIZE HE COULD LOOK...
i'm addicted to groupon
Diego Luna today!
But I forgot my camera :(

Berkeley
kavtrack:
Occupy Cal Protests, Someone getting shot, and an email from our Chancellor that’s in all caps.
Damn. Campus is a stressful place to be right now.
We definitely came to Berkeley at an interesting time. And I’ve never felt so much like “I GO TO BERKELEY” as I did today. Except for the crazy dude with the gun. That was just crazy.
on asses and whether or not sabrina should buy the...
Me: It would let you breathe more.
Sabrina: So should I get it?
Me: Well, no. I don't want to see your ass. And at some point, we're going to be changing, and you're going to forget you're wearing them, and I'm going to see your ass. And I'm going to be scarred.
Sabrina: [incredulously] Wait! You've never seen my ass!?
Me: Nooo!!!
Sabrina: Wait, I've never seen your ass either!
Me: =_=
And she says it like there's something wrong with this situation.
“I love you. Je t’aime. 我愛你. I’ve run out of languages! I LUV U...”

FUCK YOU OMG SO ANGRY
So this little piece of shit decided to start defecating all over my cousin’s facebook wall, calling her horrible names and using all that typical “Oh, I’m just real” bullshit. You’re real alright, a real BITCH-FUCK. This is called cyber bullying you fucker.
OMG HER THROAT NEEDS TO BE SLIT
Perspective
Whenever I start to think, “damn, it’s cold”, I remember, this used to be “warm” just 6 months ago.
But 6 months ago I had heater-happy flatmates that never let the restroom, and therefore the toilet seat, get cold.
my fellow roamers
I’ve started to notice I keep seeing the same people in ihouse. They’re the people, who like me, keep switching their study spots between the cafe, the great hall, and the library. There’s about 3-5 I see quite regularly. I feel like I should introduce myself at some point because I’m pretty sure a couple of them have noticed too. I swear I sometimes get some knowing looks.
introduce me!!!!
So I have this French friend I met through a mutual friend in one of my classes who I highly suspect is gay (yeah yeah I know, maybe it’s just because he’s french, but I know a lot of French people and dude still gives gay vibes). But hot damn does he have fucking hot French no-gay-vibe friends!
