I went to Berkeley last Friday to lunch with June and visit some Cal kids. I was expecting a pretty casual day - eat lunch with June, walk around downtown Berkeley, maybe get some of my architecture stuff at Inkstone (gosh I love that store. It was my go-to place whenever I needed anything for my architecture class, and as a blog entry from that time can attest, I was enamored with everything in there.) and go back home. Boy was I wrong. I met up with June and chatted with her for about five seconds when we randomly bumped into Ryan D and Kevin. Ryan invited us to his dorm, where we hung out and listened to Diana Ross with Ben and met some of his floormates. We went out to lunch, and while we were chillin' at Sproul, I called Steph and we went to her dorm to hang out and steal her roomate's candy. Then
Laurel found out I was visiting from her roomate who I met earlier, and called me up, so I hung out with
her for a little while and some of her floormates. Then I went with Steph to get her some lunch, and when we sat back down at Sproul,
Lena was passing by, so we met up with her and went back to Ryan and Ben's dorm. By that time Janice, Eddie, Rachel and some other people were there with Ryan, Ben and Kevin, so it was pretty much a mini-high school reunion.
Some people trickled out after awhile, but me, June, Steph, Lena, Ben and Ryan went to dinner in one of the dining halls, where I had my first taste of Berkeley dorm food. I got what I thought was a chicken patty, but it was actually a "hazlenut cutlet". I think it was vegan. It was surprisingly good. We went back to Ryan + Ben's dorm, where Ryan showed us what he does when it's late at night and he still wants to stay awake - they live on the 4th floor, so at night he shines his ultra-bright flashlight in front of drunk unsuspecting passerby on the ground outside. It. was. hilarious.
It really was awesome seeing everybody again. I'm going to miss being here even more now.
