Quaint, ain't I?
Went to the ol' college after a two-month absence and found it to be the same place I had left... I imagine that won't be the case in a few months when I'll feel older than I feel right now...
College is a hoot, and if you don't think so, I urge you to think about what it means to be out of college. Heck, I don't even know what it means to be out of college, but it's not that much fun... Walking on Durant and Telegraph, I realized how exciting it is to be a student interacting with other students every day of the week. And when I say "interact," I mean it in the very loosest sense of the word... To me, even people-watching is "interacting." People-watching was one of my favorite things to do--to sit on a bench and watch them walk by, meet up with friends, do something that would crack me up. So many little people--insignificant really, in comparison to the larger scheme of the world--living their little lives as if their lives were as big as the world. No, with people today, their lives are as big as the universe. I know only because the whole universe already revolves around me... But what the heck am I saying? Ah yes, it is good to be a student...
On Friday, I spent most of the early afternoon sitting on the Dwinelle benches engaging in one of my favorite Berkeley pastimes: the Daily Cal crossword puzzle. I still got it... Heh heh, man, I wish I could have those things mailed to my house. It's really funny how those crossword puzzles single-handedly consumed all the mental energy I needed to pay attention in lecture. I wonder how much more I could have learned and how much better I could have performed in my classes if I had only forsook these things. But then again, I probably would not have learned that to "ape" is to imitate or that an "edam" is some kind of Dutch delicacy. So, I have to say that it was well worth it.
Saturday, I picked up right where I had left off with my ex-roommate Charles. Nothingness. I think Charles and I make a formidable duo in the art of bumming around. It was just like old times, only now we didn't even have school to worry about. Our level of uselessness, laziness, boredom, whatever you want to call it, exponentially increased to some unimaginable point. Even so, I enjoyed having a partner in crime. It feels a little bit better when you have someone else wasting away with you.
The Lord's Day at KCPC. Pastor Ting always manages to crack me up. He always goes on some funny little tangent, and the whole congregation is like "wha...?" and I'm like "heh heh." Dude taught us some Greek, and I was down with that. All I can say about AWANA is I wanna AWANA. Terribly missed some of those kids... But what can I do? Life goes on...
Had a grand ol' time at Reno/Tahoe from Sunday to Monday. Gambling is definitely a sin for me and I should not be allowed to take any part in it. It's soooo fun... Snowboarding was a blast because the snow was nice and fluffy and I'm finally getting this carving thing down. The company was mucho fun, and the weekend was quite reminiscent of another trip to Reno/Tahoe.
And so was my illustrious weekend away from home...
