PHOTOS FROM A FAR! (finally)

*thanks to justin for letting me borrow ya laptop to upload all these pics XD

BERKELEY COLLEGE TOWN
http://a1.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc6/hs259.snc6/180763_122320577841259_100001899534846_168373_3166073_n.jpg

i don't really understand what it means to be a "college town" but from what i gather, the places is populated by students (35,000) and all the stores are mainly targeting students.
We buy our readers OFF CAMPUS! how odd, and there are many copy stores in the area which could take 10mins a walk to buy a reader for one subject. annoying.

the above picture is not of a university store, but rather a clothing store down the road opposite campus. THERE IS SOO MUCH MERCHANDISE!!! its not funny. EVERYONE SELLS CAL GEAR. even the local pharmacy sells berkeley clothes. weird!

hoodie designs = 20!!!
tshirts
cal stickers/labels of anything you can imagine, pens, pompoms, banners, cups, mugs, socks, cutlery, slippers, keyrings, drink bottles, they have a DRINK BRAND called Cal Muscle and its like choc milk.


SAN FRANCISCO TRIP! (as cal student you get free bus travel!! awesome)

i dont intend of sticking stuff over the walls. keeping it bauhaus style
(Bauhasu was an art movement in Germany from 1919-1933ish that
lived for practicality and function. ie. don't design a shirt with collars
and buttons if there is no need for them)

eheh thanks frank for the present!! ya can see it in the room!
comes in extremely handy!!

decrease workload | sororities | icecream

so.. lets see

i officially dropped documentary class which was tough decision, but laziness overtook me and my comfort space for the familiar eventually decided that its not a bad idea to stick to film 101 (despite having studied it four years ago).

Documentary did look extremely promising and the tutor was soo incredibly nice.. it was almost impossible to give up. but oh wells. *sigh* maybe i should be more productive and start hunting down a neuroscience lab, since I'm not going to make it big in Hollywood.

so thus is my timetable_
https://doc-0g-3k-docs.googleusercontent.com/docs/secure/q00ee5u7n8inuh8g8locrbgtuh4ih4kf/h3obehvh1bs1j5ttvp3kvm1vhpgd3gkp/1296086400000/09711611763693067358/09711611763693067358/0B4lMQ_5IyLmDZjE4MTFkNmItM2IwMi00ZDNlLTlkYjMtNjMzNTk1MmZhMjY3?nonce=20hrqvi2sv6vg&user=09711611763693067358&hash=tnvm6rumennp8sfijoqa9kqfoksjkcf5
yer..that's right !! i start class at 12.30pm =] and I live 5mins from campus <3

okay..sororities.
i think that's how you spell it.
ugh. since i got to America my vocab and spelling has decreased
preposterous!

so it was "house tours"
walked up to this massive door at the Gamma Phi Beta sorority
they name themselves after greek letters. its weird

got a tour of the three storey'd mansion!!
0_____0
woaaah. it looked nothing like a frat house!
its so CLEAN! and looked like the set of "The Bachelor"
a house of all pretty girls.. being girly ..and yer..
you get the picture...
massive rooms! huge tv room. floorboards...grand..
they get their own personal chef that cooks all their meals for them!
cost of living inc. everything / they dont have to clean anything = $3600
which is more expensive then the frat $2800 ish.

but way cheaper than IHouse $6000+

=.="

little did i know it was recruitment week too.
so haha. i kinda dashed after they were trying to sell a product
topic of conversation ended up being: Australia is cool, I go to Melbourne, then explaining the melbourne model ..ugh..

ICECREAM!
i tried the Icecream soft serve machine at our all you can eat buffet dinner.
Lol all meals are all you can eat where im staying.. and its making me rather
silly. I dunno when I'm full anymore/ when to stop.

anywho its nice.

but not as nice it seems as this icecream store down the road/few blocks
its like late at night and still soo many people line up and this line goes around
the block! i gotta try that place one day.
on the side_
i will eventually get that macbook
and cell phone..

lewl..

and ..get to my reading...

2. you cannot miss class or it equals fail. (so high school)
3. small classes
4. tutors are called GSI (graduate student instructor or something)
5. they expect you to have done the reading because
6. they pick on you to answer questions

*lost train of though.

sitting in laundry room waitin for clothes to dry and attempting to read.. but..haven't opened my reader yet. ah nuts.. tomorrow better not be a pop quiz on the reading..

why are readings so wordy and difficult !

"...henceforth Pascal's condemnation of painting is itself rendered vain since the photograph allows us on the one hand to admire in reproduction something that our eyes alone could not have taught us to love, and on the other, to admire the painting as thing in itself whose relation to something in nature has ceased to be the justification of its existence..."

blah had to read this three times.

first frat + dorm PARTAAAY!!

well.. after wondering around and not being able to find the christian bbq party in unit 3, i met up with Herman, Justin and Joseph at a Christian Frat Party get-together.

wow. they get free laundry, printing and all this neat stuff for 2.8k.. geez.. Ihouse is triple the costs and we don't get those benefits. The guys were really nice. We got a house tour of all three floors, ya THREE FLOORS!! I'm impressed as to how many rooms they can squish into a house. And we got to see the DUCK! Hahaha... Andrew has a random pet duck. It was a tad weird being the only girl but it was nice to know there is a Christ-centred-fraternity with fun gatherings and have a blast without alcohol =P

alalalla... next stop.. some really far away walk to get alcohol apparently. Well, not me, I got Häagen-Dazs® icecream ^^ oh which some people where jealous of, of course =P but anyways, for some reason drinks in the US are cheap. 2L of smirnoff for $25... or something like that. I wasn't paying attention but was too busy deciding icecream flavours.

the next thing you know,, you walk into a corridor full of people with music cranking and party-ing it UP. well... we knew the party was on the fourth floor, so a few non-drinkers decided to check it out before we fall asleep LOL.. our nose lead the way. Dang, didn't realise beer leaves such a strong smell.

sigh. how to these people keep it up. i seriously want to sleep my bags away.. they are horrible =.=""

CHEER!

hmm a blog about the 20th jan (USA time)

two classes. Anime class watched Fooly Cooly. ZOMG! i can't believe it. so that's the name of the anime we watched in year 10 Richie VCD class. =.=" I really didn't like it. It makes no sense.
But I guess its an excellent example of what anime may be, pushing boundaries classical cinema can never achieve.

seriously, who thinks being bashed in the head by a guitar leads to a bump that grows into a robot that busts itself out of the child's head @_@ dahh... what?

hmm..i still haven't uploaded photos. but here is one...

picture credit to Miguel! =] from spain


there was a demonstration of the cheer Berkeley gives. and ...i missed it Y_Y nuts

oh! documentary class:

"tells us your name and something interesting about yourself" - tutor (GSI aka. Graduate student instructor?)

"Hi I'm Sandra, and I'm an exchange student from Australia so I'm not sure what year I am in, and today is my birthday" =]

and I CANT BELIEVE MY FRIENDS SURPRISED ME AT DINNER!!! thank you a zillion 0_0
i feeel so special for having done nothing. Cake + candles + balloon + in front of so many people + other people snapping photos = embarrassing =P BUT THANK YOU ^^

on the side_
i still haven't decided which class to drop.

!

did my first round of washing lewl.

i just came back from my retreat which was at Walter Creek Ranch, where it was approx 40 exchange kids with team building exercises and informing us what International House (IHouse) is all about and its missions of culture celebrations, leadership etc etc.

american's had a campfire too. and ate " 'smores".. this means "some more" but really quickly. its marshmellow roasted, then snap a plain cracker in half and you place a small block of chocolate on one side of the cracker and put the hot mashmellow on top so the chocolate melts. So it's a choc -marshmellow- cracker sandwhich.

ZOMG . how do they eat that stuff SOO SUGARY! everyone was on a HIGH!

it was dark and they gave up glowstick necklaces before this campire that wrap around our heads,.
so since everyone was high on sugar and running around, it looked quite hilarious.

i saw a racoon! and my golly gosh THEY ARE FAT!! when it kinda stood up it seriously looked
like totoro that japanese animation fat blob thingy lol.

we played Guessures too! (it was a non-alcoholic camp =P)

I FINALLY MET MY ROOMMATE, she is local and i bumped into her at the door. XD


ps. there are MANY koreans at Berkeley and their names are so hard to pronounce XD

i'm going on a san francisco day trip tomorrow so that should be interesting. =]


...i seriously gotta learn an efficient way to upload photos XD

Golden Bears vs Washington

Wash. State loses to Calif. in OT

Attended my first basketball game yesterday and woahh.. even though it's mid season there were tonnes of people. The massive stadium being 80% full.

far out people of all ages, 7 - 50years old i would say.

"California Golden Bears to an 88-81 overtime victory over the Washington State"

the match was EPIC! Cal was leading by almost half (28 - 11 at one stage) dominating but then Washington State caught up and didn't leave without a fight. OVERTIME!

the people were really tall and we did see a few dunks and hoops swings.

people really got into it, standing up and shouting and cheering. But what was more surprising was the amount of "BOOOOOing" when the other team scored. Strange.

can't imagine what the Berkeley vs Stanford game would be like. Apparently we have a rivalry with them. *shrugs* the staff at orientation didn't like Stanford either.

upload photos later when i have time.

heading off to a Residents Retreat, 1hr bus ride away. ..interesting....

rocking up 40mins late to orientation to win a laundry bag...

copy paste from an email to friend because i'm too lazy to type twice =P

I've heard its been raining heaps in melbourne since I left. Mike Wong tested the gmail phone call system thingy yesterday and it worked! woot, free calls.

oh i set up a berkeley email today and i attended a reaaaaaly long orientation, it feels so weird to be called an "international" student, because i just think of asian fobs. There were definitely a lot of Asians today thoughat the orientation.

funny thing was i slept in for orientation because of the late phone call with mike and ZOMG 40mins late to orientation GAAH! my EYES couldn't even open, so I didnt brush my teeth and ran downstairs and phewwwww they officially start at 9am, and sign ups were at 8am. But yerrr..that was bad XD. And I looked so crap and unenthusiastic for their "Go Bears!" pep talk.

they associate being a UC Berkeley student as being a Bear. They have Bear everything,
so now I'm a student I'm also technically a bear. weird.

i personally think their mascot is creepy.

but they had this icebreaker where you need to get peoples emails for certain catergories
like: shares a same hobby, comes from north america, studies something you think is interesting etc etc and I WON!! bwhahahaaha. out of all the 15 tables of international students i won ..lol...
i got a laundry bag as a prize, so yay i dont have to buy one and now i can do my laundry ^^

and and aND, i took an option of a berkeley hike up its massive hill and ZOMG up there you can see the view into san fran and the golden gate bridge and all of the bay area. so neat.. but sun in eyes @_@ I saw two deers on campus!! and lots of squirrels too.

okay so i didnt' take this photo but ripped it from the net, but its same enough =P *link*

got my id card a day back and best thing is that it can act like a debit card for surrounding shops, FREE PUBLIC BUS TRANSPORT! how awesome is that. the bus can take you to san Francisco too. and gets you into the gym for the whole semester for $10. hmm..i could work out a lot hahaaha.

international people have interesting names like Pontus, Jet pronounced Yet from Netherlands, Farbian (Italy) etc etc.

oh and i don't talk to hobos on the road (for mum's peace of mind). There are many homeless people around campus and we have been told they go into classrooms to sleep ><"


okay karaoke and coffee is served in three hours.^^

summary of no jetlagness =] day 1/2

SO!

im once again in the laundry room using free computers coz im too lazy to take the elevator upstairs to level 3.

MY GOSH! people at IHouse know everyone. I still feel like a vistor at the residental hall and i'm just a fall on the wall that says hi and waves. XD

well dinner last night was at Smart Alex's which is some fast food joint that serves massive servings ..geez.. i seriously cant finish meals in America XD. how do they eat all that. I ate with 9 other people I'd just met, of which 8 were guys hahhahaa. that do engineering. engineering and the name martin seem popular here. Met Lucas from Maccau who is also into alternative films and has seen ONCE~! Akito is from Japan and knows the places since he's been here for a semester already.

its weird. they kept staring at me during dinner. no one also understood when i made the comment to the guy on the left "Wow you devoured your dinner, so quick!" they were just blanked faced and made me repeat myself four times Y_Y "de-voouu-red" meaning eat really quickly? dang . okay i think i will lay low on the slang for now XD

OhOHOH! and the guy who's name i forgot of which i sat next to at dinner got an INTERNSHIP WITH FACEBOOK! or at facebook however ya say it. wow. cool. computer science major.

the guys when to play poker whilst i slept. the beds are TOO SOFT. i think i need to buy a plank of wood. ugh so sore. its just a piece of foam >.>

"people here study hard and party hard" - Akito

I'm already dreading the studying hard portion. ugh. they are so hardcore XD

woke up. room mate still hasn't returned from her adventures. so i still dunno where to put my stuff.

bumped into elaine today (happenstance ftw) and she drove me around town to something ghetto? i dunno. and had awesome pizza. gave me a mini tour of the uni and it turns out all my classes are literally in the SAME room. weird. never realised. 10am-9pm in the SAME ROOM. lol. there are two main libraries which are connected buildings via an underground passage.

wandered up a bell tower and i dunno if i want to take that bell class anymore. the bells look incredibly difficult to play. but from the top you can see the Golden gate bridge, Alcatraz however ya spell it, the Bay, the hill you were talking about Andy of which would be a ridiculous hike just to the obervatory and more etc etc.

i asked someone for directions and they immediately responded with "Are you from Australia?"
0______0 they recognised my accent straight away. creepy, turns out he is from australia too.

OH OH OH AND! I SCORED MY FIRST GOAL IN FIFA SOCCER today. yay!
and it was a decent one bwahahahhaa.
on the side_
they fill the toilets with lots of water here
cold showers at home help,. im not cold here and people
think im crazy coz i'm from Australia and should be cold coz i
came from summer.
i offended the airport officer by accidentally calling them a security guard Y_Y
it gets back at 5pm Y_Y
the uni is on a massive hill (15min walk). ugh. i need to walk everywhere
need to buy a kettle

arrived

i arrived suckers!
and no airplane sickness. only because i choose not to watch the in flight entertainment.
im certain i got sick last time because i watched 3 movies non-stop all the way to HK.
vision, hearing, and balance was receiving too much feedback.

Ihouse is HUGE. and I'm totally lost. walking up stairs and down stairs only to come to a door that doesn't open. also not all the lifts work. maybe i'm not suppose to use certain ones.

San fran is SUNNING! and not as cold as i thought. good thinking i didnt pack those two extra jackets.

hmmz.. i do have a roommate, which i havent met yet, but their stuff is everywhere.
what i gather from the interior design/photos: female, Caucasian, party lover, not a neat freak, in a relationship, studies humanities.

interesting...

so i left my chinese take away on the desk and am currently in the laundry room using their free internet. =P weird.

as per two posts ago...

sick on the inside. gahh. this irritating frustration of i don't know what it is or how to describe it. mental and spiritual factors deciding to pour out its failings in a physical form.

compounded that i'm sick of this corrupt world, world mainly being the people in it. of which i'm included..

but there's hope always =] always.

of which so many things i cannot fathom and will not fathom. not my place.

the day starts out incredibly awkward as my inappropriateness gets me in a mess yet again..
sitting down to get daily feeds to discover a friend that is to be a father and i have no idea how to support them..
realising it's not birthday parties we shall look forward to as a means of a mass high school friend get-together, but rather weddings!
receiving a call from a 40+ year old male friend who I haven't seen since he last got cancer, whom sounds incredibly broken, lost and very ill, of which i still dunno what to do.
how can i attempt to care for others when my mind is unravelling.


my insides are goina to go all phoenix Jean Grey crazy explosion if i don't get a hold of things soon.

speaking of xmen ..the past 3 days have been a re-watch of Wolverine and the Xmen and my goodness. .it's still extremely impressive. Can't wait til the last episode lol..


on that note of comics.. this is an interesting discussion between two lawyers and if superheros were taken to caught. factoring things like murder ...and what ifs.. like what if they guy was brought back to life.. etc etc

We will be meeting up at 6:30pm in Century City to buy tickets for the 3D movie Tangled. Session times aren't up yet, but I'll keep you posted.

Dinner after, then movie then maybe cake? IDK whatever works. Please let us know if you can come to dinner or not so I can book somewhere yummy for us to eat.

i should be doing something more productive...

but since i'm sitting on my lazy ass i might as well summarise the end of 2010 and start of 2011


no lets see..where exactly was it at NEW YEARS! 12.00AM

hmm.. i was either running out from the toilet and onto the street to catch the fireworks seen from a park in Hawthorn East.... or according to the time on my mobile phone it was 11.59PM when i reached the park and the fireworks started early >.>

hmm. either way. it as a good view from the park outside james' house. standing right....here.could see both the city and st. kilda fireworks.. or whatever the other suburb was at the other end of my field of view.

1 hour earlier...
watched a bunch of friends from church play one crazy game of monopoly...insane over the table deals, alliances, huge losses, screaming and shouting..

played 'psychiatrist' for the first time. strange game, where everyone sits in a circle and agrees on an "illness", then bring in one or two people that didn't hear this agreed upon illness to sit in the middle of the circle and ask questions until they get it. quite hard.
our illness was "two people to our left". We were only allowed to answer yes /no questions..but answering them truthfully for two people to our left. hilarious.


2 hours earlier...
watching gossip girl. dang..that show is despicably attention seeking..
sister started watching it and i walk past every now and then..

5 hours earlier..
"you are not allowed to go out of the house, its too hot" - mum
i uber dislike it when she does this. GRR.. so i wasn't going to take no as an answer.
