"way down in Berkeley"

So, it's true. It has already been 1 and a half weeks that I've been studying at UC Berkeley.. in.... well..Berkeley, California. I stand corrected. Berkeley, I LOVE YOU! haha.
College is definitely hard. I spend everyday studying/reading/homeworking/quizzing/etc../repeat../repeat.../repeat
But, i go out too, I party, I try to have fun, and let loose. About.. 1 -2 times per week, or else I'm sure I'll find some way to jump off the famous "suicidal math building" (which now has glass railings around it to prevent suicide attempts)... yummmmaaay
haha
But why do I love it here?
I mean, some people absolutely hate it here. Some people (which used to be me) hates everything about this place. But I love the whole vibe, I love the attitude that people have. Nobody has the attitude of.. ... well.. nothing. And, it seems everybody knows.. what they want to study... not as in, what they want to do for the rest of their lives, but as in they know what they're interested in, and they're not afraid to go after it. It's.. inspirational.
I love how, people are all so passionate. Hey, even the hobos are passionate.
I don't think I've ever met such a knowledgeable and devoted homeless man before as the one that wanders around Sproul. He screams out his ideals of religion, and in the things he speaks of, there are some crazy relevant theories of human behavior that he extracted out of his passion for religion.

Another reason is probably.. I feel like I can really be myself here.
There are actually people who think what I like, what I want to study, what I'm interested in is.. well.. not. WEIRD
haha.
So what if I'm into diseases (the really gross kinds), or psychotic twists in human behavior?
There could be another person down the block who is interested in necrophiliac behavior.
it's alllll good
come visit me, guys.

  1. i'm SO glad that you love it there and that you've found people who don't think your interests are weird and you can be yourself!
    haha seriously, cause how many people can i tell in highschool that i'm REALLY interested in human sexuality and body language relating to sex and i'm really fascinated by the whole japanese counterculture as in the way they commit suicide and commit homicide and their porn industry?

    haha
    i'm so happy for you!
    and the grosser the disease, the more fun you'll have!
