so lets backtrack all the way back to thanksgiving.

after thanksgiving dinner, around ....11:30ish, went over to Chris's house. When I got upstairs, I recieved the first of many painful group hugs. it was pretty fun, epecially with meng on the webcam.
hung out for awhile trying to think of what to do or where to go.

of course not before taking a whole mess of pictures (Chris loves his

and an ode to ochi - SUPPLY AND DEMAND.............yeah not many people will actually understand this picture

finally, we decided to go to the Starbucks in Laurel village
heres the Subaru carload. every red light/stop sign we were at, we were taking pictures =) good thing no one was around to witness reckless driving

finally we got to Laurel Village and guess what...............

not an update but in history discussion

we're talking about globalization and US companies opening stores in other countries

this one girl in class declares it unfair............why you ask? well because you never see Latin American stores in America............well it depends on if Latin Americans want to come to America to open a store, it's not like anyone is stopping them........................well, its still not fair.............................huh? makes you question the direction of our country

packed

O..........M...........G in history class and just had a discussion about waterboarding.........theres this one girl in my class who says its okay to use it as a form of punishment because the people do not die they just think theyre drowning and then later they go back to their cell like nothing happened.....................WHAT?! it was basically the whole class against her. heres part of the discussion......
its like theyre drowned and then brought back to life over and over again. its physcial and psychologica torture
her* its okay. because they know they arent going to die.
havent you ever felt like you were drowning or something. its horrible
her* yeah im sure its bad....but its fine
..........................i swear every class the things she says.........
another time we were going over 1940s ads for a piano and she said the ad was such a liar because just because you have a piano doesnt mean you can play
us* well if you dont have a piano you wont have the opportunity to have something to learn how to play
her* no but if you have it you still need lessons so it should say you need to take lessons on the ad
us*.....................okay......sure... but its a piano ad.....
her* but it say you need to take lessons so its lying

*sigh* i know that was a random rant but serious every time we have a discussion its her against everyone else

okay thats it.

nvm heres another one that just happened

talking about if we should bail out the major american car companies, she says no, which okay thats fine but heres what she says
us* how about all the people that will lose jobs
her* well its the companies fault we cant just bail them out, its their fault that they didnt do more energy efficient things earlier
*but how about the lose of jobs and the effect of losing the auto industry on our government
her* well thats just how it is..............

...............what?

office

Random Facts Update

more random facts via history 7b

At Berkeley, you are only guaranteed a parking spot if.......you win a nobel prize. yes thats right. the nobel prize equates to a parking spot at berkeley. thats how hard it is to find parking around here....

anyhoo wheres something cool that's been on the news


so last night the students of berkeley decided that a parade was necessary in order to celebrate obama's victory. soooo they decide to run around the campus and all over the units twice. from what i heard, there ended up being 2 celebrations. the first was on telegraph where the crowds bodysurfed and even started a small fire. The other group, which im assuming was much bigger, got so big that the chancellor came out to give a speech. pretty cool stuff. dont believe me? see for yourself.




anyhoo...mccain's speech was pretty respectful, very classy and very soon my posts will be much less political

but if you do get the chance, for sure wath obama's speech and i would say watch colin powell's interview on cnn

MAJOR QUESTION!
my history professor and my class tell me that i remind them of juno. personally do not see that at all....comments? agree? disagree?
