And I'm back at Tap Ex, currently taking a break from reading Paradise in Ashes, a novel by my professor, Beatriz Manz; I was suppose to finish it last week before class on Thursday, but I'm only starting it now. On a brighter note, I'm getting closer to catching up in this class.(: Urm, not sure about the other three classes though ...
My sleeping habit is still terrible. I don't know why, but I keep sleeping 9+ hours every night, and I can barely wake up when I have to. It's not because I'm lazy nor is it because I'm depressed. Too much productivity? Nah. Stressed out? It's funny to say that I'm stressed out, though, for I hardly ever have a tendency to go crazy (minus CVC back in high school, of course). So, maybe I'll just wait it out and see if my sleeping schedule will improve or not.
Now that I've been at Berkeley for a few months, I began noticing a few things about myself.
First off, I've already established my "social network" in San Jose, and I am greatly attached to it. Hence, I'm back so often, even though I know I shouldn't be.
Second, I've recognized how often I spend time alone up here. Part of me says it's because I've always been like this; the other tells me that I'm just having a hard time trying to make friends in and out of my classes. I feel this goes back to the first part: how I've already establish my social network. I love meeting new people and getting to know them, but people I do meet at organization meetings and such all seem to already have their own friends and what have you. As welcoming as they are, I still feel isolated in the end.
Third, breakdance sessions are one of the few (maybe even only) things I look forward to. I stopped being physically active after high school, and to feel muscle aches/sores mixed in with gross, sticky sweat ... it feels goddamn good.
Lastly, I've been doubting myself a lot when it comes to the work in class. Perhaps the reason why I've been avoiding my schoolwork is because of the belief that I won't do well in my classes. But last week I got back my first paper at Cal, and I didn't do bad at all for a-night-before paper. Imagine how great it would have been had I done it sooner. So maybe I should really start working hard, like I did when I was at JC.
Anyway, I've been listening to a lot of Phoenix, Kings of Convenience, and Voxtrot (how could I go through a blog without talking about music, right?) lately, and I swear, none of their albums or EPs are ever a disappointment. What I am disappointed about is not being about to see Phoenix when they were in SF a month ago. Such a tragedy. I didn't know they were coming until the lovely housemate Wilson told me. He was going to take me too, but there were reasons why it didn't work out. But seriously, I know Phoenix has recently become more well-known due to their album Wolfgang Amadeus, but believe me, their older albums are just as amazing if not "better" to you. Check it out or ask me about it. As for the other two bands, amazing as well! If it weren't for Christophe, I would have never heard tunes so pleasing, voices so aklgjaoh;shhWOW.
Blogs aren't complete without pictures. Most the time. So here's pikachu if it were real.
And I miss ribbon dancing. A lot.
Oh. I'm not going to be back in San Jose for another month. Don't miss me too much you San Joseneans. <3
