uncertain

tahoe was great. three nights and three days of awesomeness. except for the one day when it was ridiculously snowing and windy, the whole experience was great, what with the room going apeshit as we watched ankur on beauty and the geek 2 (dude, i hella know that guy), chicken and beer (it's the one in the fat short bottle!), the hot tub, gambling at the stateline, and skiing on freshy groomed powder.

under the sun, the whole place was gorgeous. it looked as if i was in the middle of fucking narnia, except that the ice queen was on vay-cay.

surprisingly, my legs are fine. no soreness, no stiffness, not even a hint of shins going blistery. the worst that happened was that i woke up today with chapped lips. take that, sierra nevadas!

sigh. i think i'm headed up for the lake again this weekend.

moving sounds so scary, no?

i was talking to megan for a few hours and realized that the whole transitional phase in between modes -- high school to college, college to real world, etc. -- is so blissfully uncertain that in itself, it makes you want to do it and regret it all at the same time.

slap in the face, i tell ya.

and with that sad realization comes another: it's the first day of classes for EVERYONE ELSE.

you know that habit of yours, when you just keep sticking change in your pocket, not emptying it out until you realize you have a lot of change in your pocket?

i have $7.18 in change. think about it. that is HELLA change.

congratulations, extension students! go make the campus prettier! go teach the nerds how to party! and yes, you are all real berkeley students now, for real!

y'all hold a special place in my heart.
