I am all…socialized out. Somehow, I get very tired when I am hanging out in large groups of people I don\’t know…that well. Personally, I have always preferred small groups of people. This proves that I am an introvert at heart. At Berkeley, I rarely went out with large groups. For some reason, I found myself always hanging out with people one on one.

Yesterday, I went bar-hopping at Southside with the MHCI people (and some phd students who couldn\’t find their own group…haha). At first, I was reluctant to go for the fact that I don\’t drink, but it was interesting. Better than my previous bar experiences. (The most recent one I can remember was the \”experience\” in Berkeley, the night before I was supposed to leave for CMU at Blake\’s where we stood outside idiotically because not everyone was 21+…) We went to five different bars–two charged $1 cover for the so-so dj music. Most likely, I won\’t be doing anything like this for a long time. ONE picture here captured by Kun with his cell sent to his moblog at yafro. It\’s Ian, Justin, me and Carol in a bar that kicked all 20 of us out at 1:30 am (just 10 minutes after we arrived!)

And today, I started assembling my desk. I not only dropped glue all over myself, but I discovered what a weakling I am. Also, it\’s difficult to put such a complex desk together without anybody helping. Right now, after 4 hours, I have the base complete and still have the hutch and glass monitor shelf to go.

It\’s funny how attending events are all about if you go, I will go with the implied if you don\’t go, I won\’t go.
