it never ends, pt 2

awash in blue and gold splendor, the berkeley campus is positively glowing thanks to a deliciously one-sided rout of stanfurd at the 108th big game, where the california golden bears snapped up their fourth straight year with the axe, edging the cardinal 27-3 in a surprisingly clean and underrated game.


steve levy, then-backup quarterback, started for the big game. joe ayoob was on hand for placing for tom schneider. levy was consistent and determined, and visibly happy after the game when he tried to check a security guard as he was on his way to the cal section of the stadium. with this win, the bears prevent stanford from being bowl-eligible (they'll have to beat notre dame next week), three uc's have beaten stanfurd at football (uc davis, ucla, and cal), and the stanfurd class of 2006 has never seen their school win at big game, despite holding on to the axe for seven straight years before they were freshmen.

the band never got a bigger response until this halftime show. the fans usually just cheer (loudly!) one big "cal band great!", but this time they were chanting it, yelling it over and over until we were well halfway into the stands. it felt great; student response is one of the things we do this for, and their reaction reflects our performance.

big game, i'm going to miss you. but i'm sure it'll be fun as a young alum, too.

i applied for a job last tuesday on a posting i saw on craigslist. emails were exchanged and i really wasn't expecting much out of it, until on wednesday i received an email about interviewing on thursday. thursday came, the interview was great, and then friday rolled around.

for having the application and selection process in three short days, i'm proud to say i'll be working for a structural engineering firm starting monday.

so from school to work... it's a great transition, but it'll be tough as well, trying to cope and balance out the post-collegiate scene.

i'm so excited, though. "tipping mar and associates, this is miguel, how may i be of service?"
