Blu: I Took Thanksgiving Off Because I Honor Every Holiday That I Don't Have To Go To School For With Laziness And A General Lack Of Movement But Now It Is Dead Week And I Do Find Myself Imagining That I Am Dead Much More Often What A Coincidence

Hey friends

I don't understand why I felt compelled to address everyone reading this as a friend. But to be honest if you are reading this, you probably know me personally.

Happy Dead Week! for me/fellow quarter system students (The rest of you will get there soon enough or you're there already I don't know)

There's a huge increase of events now and they all provide food and claim to destress you. There's too many events. At this point it's so easy not to study and just go to the events. I want to just go to the events.

There's a thing called the primal scream where people scream out their window at midnight. (It's Wikipedia official.) I don't know how true it is because we live far far away from the other freshman dorms/general housing. But there's still a couple people who do it. I empathize so much though.

Generally, I still feel like I'm missing out on things. Maybe it's how everyone's applying/applied/getting interviews for job related things and I don't know what I'm doing. Maybe it's pressure from parents. Maybe it's people saying nonsense about "connections" and "being a good reference" and "talk to me anytime in the future" at the ends of classes. Because no, I haven't been doing those things.

Phrases I Decided Were Important Enough To Write Down Throughout The Past Few Weeks

You can only bike through the quad during the night. Any other time and it's disappointing 

I like the walk through the rodin sculpture garden around dead weak because I feel like I empathize with the statues better

Get your work done on breaks. I'm looking at you thanksgiving break. 

Bluray is lame just get the normal dvd 

ex cs partner works at the media and microtexts center on Friday afternoons, parts of Sunday too 

I get upset every time a cool berkeley event comes on my facebook feed 

Every time the wifi disconnects it's like a passive aggressive reminder that I don't deserve to be in this university

Associations and pattern recognition don't translate well into people

(are we still doing this over winter break?)
