I am sure most of you didn\’t know where I was at 4 pm. After walking with Sam all the way to Dwinelle to glimpse a May Day dance (first day of May after all), I went to my American Studies class. We just sat there for awhile until an unfamiliar lady entering the class informing us that Professor Moran wouldn\’t be able to make it to class today. That we were supposed to have some people lead a discussion. Eventually one smart student asked where Moran was…turns out that her daughter was having a baby. How cute. The lady eventually left, trusting us to have an discussion about the last two readings. Guess what happened. Five minutes later, a few brave ones opened the door and left. Eventually the class followed. Come on now, you think college students are that devoted?

After that, I went to the BART and rode it to El Cerrito Plaza. You think I was crazy. Yes. I was going to get my free scoop from Baskin Robbins. The only Baskin Robbins store was 3.5 miles from where I lived. And I was that determined. :) I went to the new plaza next to the station and wandered around a bit. Then I ordered dinner from Rubio\’s. Eh, I embarassed myself. But dinner was good anyway. While I was waiting for the bus, I called Naim. Stupidly, I had called him when I had only one bar of reception and the noise of BART/bus all around me. Considering the fact that I have a hard time hearing things…eh. Eventually the bus came and I got to the Baskin Robbins store. I stood in line for approximately twenty minutes and I got my free cone of rainbow sherbert. :D It was yummy. Well, I am wondering if it was worth it. Then I walked back to the station, because there weren\’t that many buses going that way. Yeah one mile walk. Took the BART back to Berkeley, where I waited for twenty minutes just for the 65. I gave up and went to take the campus perimeter shuttle, but I forgot that the shuttle always waited for an extra 10 minutes at the stop. So while I was waiting, the 65 and the 8 came by…the buses that would drop me right in front of my apartment. GAH!

Will I take a silly excursion like that again? Yes. :)

I am in a pissy mood right now. My mom called and was asking whether I went to my grandmother\’s apartment last weekend (which I didn\’t). Then she suddenly mentioned that it was okay that I lost the other apartment, so I could start looking for another one.

And that was what made my blood boil. Last year, I was picky about my apartment and therefore I almost couldn\’t find a place until a month before I was supposed to move in for the new semester. My parents don\’t understand that it\’s almost next to impossible to find a decent apartment in Berkeley plus an apartment that is close to the campus. Currently the apartment that I am living right now…is run-down. Cold in the winter. Poor electricity. My friends commented that it looked ghetto. The stove barely lights up (we have to use a match). Additionally the shower isn\’t that powerful and it drips. The toilet has the tendency to overflow. The bathtub is dirty and we always use our slippers to take showers. Additionally my neighbors downstairs are loud (I can hear their music, their AOL welcome greeting, and them with LOUD SEX). Then the windows aren\’t locked and they open by themselves during the night. There\’s no such thing as privacy in this apartment. Doors aren\’t real. The bathroom door…well I don\’t even know if it has a real lock. And the front door of the entire building isn\’t secure (remember this?). Great.

And the other place, I lost just because my parents didn\’t want to rent it during the summer. However, it is essential that I rent during the summer otherwise I wouldn\’t get it. I am still mad that HE ditched me. What would have been better is if he had consulted me before giving the apartment to his friend. Great great great.

So then I got infuriated. First off, the fact that I wasn\’t allowed to rent during the summer. Secondly, the fact that we can afford most of the places around here. Thirdly, the fact that I am not allowed to room with a male roommate (I would assume that most people are respectful especially all these asexual Berkeley people). Fourthly, how I always have to hesitate and say to my prospective landlords – \”I have to ask my parents.\”

Don\’t you know how much I hate saying that line?

Shameless self promotion: clickety! And click my site :D

My cousin has a new personal project and his deals site going. Yeah go visit both! Looks like he ditched oceansky already. What a shame. But then cyberwings was sucking anyway. Never trust a webhost if you\’re paying below preminium for their services. Especially if they discount it 75%.

I want to buy another domain… :(
