| A month of change. |
| 07.13.04 (8:37 pm) [edit] |
I don't know why it surprises me so much that I haven't blogged in nearly a month. I've packed in an awful lot of living since that point, and just not a proportional amount of reflection. I'm not sure where that leaves me now, but I'm proud of how I've spent the past month. Reading through my past couple entries, I think I stopped posting about when I finally figured out Berkeley. My last two weeks were incredible.
I wonder how much I hurt myself by always running away on the weekends. I got a lot out of spending time with the family friends, but I also didn't make any close friends on campus. To be honest though, I don't think I would have anyways. I appreciate diversity, but we were just in two very different worlds. Too much for me to even handle. The last week was fun. I finally found a group that could be diverse, without being culturally exclusive. Thinking back though, it was a rather food filled week. Perhaps its good I didn't find them earlier. I would've emptied my wallet, and put on a good amount of weight. As the newly self-conscious girl in me comes out.
My last week there was fairly intense. I think my roommate was worried that I was dying. She started a tally of how much time I was putting into my final project. It was a bit sick, I would sit in my bed with my laptop and work for like ten hours on end. I wasn't really eating, so nature never really called, and I never had to get up. Mai counted up 61 hours between Friday to the following Tuesday. 20 of which had fallen on Monday. But yknow what? I finished my piece, and I made something I'm really proud of. That's about all I could have asked for. And I'm choosing not to post a link, because I feel like that would be hugely boosting myself up. We did presentations the last day, fairly run of the mill. The first thing Rinehart says in response, "How much longer will you be at Berkeley? We're starting a [url=http://art.berkeley.edu/nieme...]Center for New Media[/url] that would be perfect for you." Too bad for that. Turns out though that Case has the same idea. Well, similar enough. Our EECS department was just awarded a preliminary $400,000 to open a new [url=http://neohio.craintech.com/c...]Virtual Worlds[/url] lab. I must say I'm fairly intrigued. It's no Berkeley, but it's certainly enough to excite me.
Anyway, that was an era past. I watched more episodes of Sex and the City than I'll ever admit, but in the end, I came out with some memories. It may not have been the ideal, but it was certainly an experience.
