The first of many...from Berkeley
This is a top pick! Hi All, This is just an initial hello from the lovely Bay Area, and the starting point for this journey. We are each in the process of taking care of last last minute things...meaning still going from a pile of clothes to a packed backpack. At ...
Day 51: Making life decisions with John Malkovich
This is a top pick! Today was an important day for me. It infact may be one to mark down for future thought. I decided a few things, and perhaps let myself believe a few things that I have known for a while, and perhaps ignored to keep normality functioning for many good ...
Day 22: Overheard
This is a top pick! ... to go. We clapped and cheered for longer than I have ever heard before. Herbie came back, and said it was the typical Berkeley crowd that he loved - he seemed as shocked and surprised as he had at the beginning. Off they went again - blasting ...
Day 16: 500 Graduates Party!
This is a top pick! ... lack of space or too many people stop a party! It was the best atmosphere I have seen in a long time. This is the Berkeley I had been told about. There were students from all over the world, and all over California, partying and being social without care. ...
Day 29: The Bicycle with No Brakes!
This is a top pick! Today was the day I learned to cycle without brakes! And no, this isn't a metaphor for 'letting go' or 'trusting in your future destiny' .... but really, cycling without any brakes! A couple of days ago, while writing at my desk, a message posted to the ...
Day 7 Confusion
This is a top pick! ... off well, and it was a day to get things done. I am finding that much of my life here will rely on access to the Berkeley system, and my iCal card (student card for those born pre 1990!). Off I trotted to the iCal office - where every desk has a huge ...
Day 21: Stacking Shelves without Herbie
This is a top pick! ... don't happen a lot within - including good cooking - but that can change. i am very excited to take a trip to the Berkeley Bowl - a place that everyone has recommended as THE place to go for fruits and veggies - so once I have unpacked a little on ...
Day 17: You're In - I Find a Place to Live
This is a top pick! After multiple emails, house visits, interviews, emails, advertisements, more emails and more interviews, today I have finally reached the final stage of my quest to find a place to live. The story goes something like this. 1. I need a place to ...
Day 2 - You Know You're in America when.....
This is a top pick! You know that you are really in America when you: 1. Buy a breakfast wrap, and still have plenty left to take you through lunch and dinner 2. You attend a lecture on 'nine-eleven' and there is guy dressed up in a black KKK outfit, and the debate turns to ...
Day 17: I watched UFC :)
This is a top pick! Well, it may not seem like much, but after a day of work, and no sunshine, I didn't think much would make it much better. On the way home, I stopped to buy a couple of snacks for dinner, when I overheard something that gave me a smile..... 'Hey, yeah, ...

This is a top pick! ... memories, and links to days gone by. Our personal histories....our human species. And then it was ending....and that's when the Berkeley crowd took over. The critical mass were now dancing at the front and everyone else was on their feet. The applause ...

Day 28: Is cooking for 60 people a mistake?
This is a top pick! Question: Is volunteering to cook for 60 people a bad idea? Answer: ABSOLUTELY! Never, ever, ever do this.......ever! As the word 'volunteer' implies, this isn't exactly what I had in mind, as I hiked up Euclid Avenue towards Cordonices Park last ...
Day 41: Submitted but awake for over 60 hours
This is a top pick! Supermarket was dark - i went in anyway, not being phased after so many supermarkets having no electricity in South Africa. 'We are closed for a power outage' I turned and walked out, suggesting they might like to close the doors if they didn't want ...
Day 8 : I submit my first assignment!
This is a top pick! It's quite a strange sensation, preparing and submitting an assignment. I haven't done it for years! But, I guess what they say is true, good habits die hard - or so i'd like to think. The years that I spent at University in Milwaukee are paying off, as ...

This is a top pick! ... was on my way here that I ran into the parade of pink-wearing cancer walking ladies, accompanied on bicycles by the Berkeley Police. As they marched along, their pink decorations flapping in the breeze, I marvelled at the pimped up bicycles and ...
Day 19: I gave up.....and went home!
This is a top pick! The truth to being tired, is that unless you give yourself time to catch up, it will continue, and continue and continue. Today I was broken by the ongoing nature of everything here...... so I gave up and went home to work. I managed more there than I ...
Day 25: Of Rain and Paper Bags
This is a top pick! Today it is raining. Infact, as I left the house this morning, it must've been raining through the night - there were puddles on the steps down to the pavement. Perhaps that is why I had woken up in the night, and closed the windows. I don't remember. I ...

This is a top pick! ... and i can't help but wonder where they will find themselves in a few years time. The education they get here at UC-Berkeley certainly puts them on a roll compared to many. I am sure they appreciate that fact - but having been distant to such ...
You Will Study the Wisdom of the Past
This is a top pick! Walking around the UC Berkeley Campus, you see so many things, so many possibilities, and so many architectural styles. Often these reflect the department or faculty they house. None is more relevant than this quote, seen on the outside of the Boalt ...
