ALECKY HAS LEFT. :( You would think he has a obnoxious exterior (yes, naim) but he is just as sweet as…a lemon?

Unlike Stacee who had to wait four hours until his arrival, ALECKY was wandering around outside the BART station once I had arrived…and I saw a guy in green with a backwards cap…looking lost. Basically, I ran toward him in a full run and kicked him. That\’s the story of how we first met…in person.

highlights of his entire stay:

  • ALECKY and his mother calling me trying relay that fact that he missed the bus and left a list of phone numbers at the airport woohoo!

  • being asked if I had Grey Poupon?

  • making ALECKY stay in the rec room while I had my staff meeting

  • taking pictures of him sleeping! :D

  • attending appointments with him…heh heh

  • finishing my cog sci paper and having ALECKY of all people edit it for grammar

  • ALECKY attending my cog sci lecture on metaphor of language, then never stopping to allude to it for the rest of the week — KNOWLEDGE IS SEEING, THEORIES ARE BUILDINGS…

  • him meeting GODLIKE SHINE LUN – \’nuff said

  • my female friends thinking he is my boyfriend, just because he is…a guy…these are the same friends who thought Aaron was my boyfriend *cough*

  • trying to pick up my paycheck at work

  • eating at a viet place!

  • CAMPANALIE – yes it was open this time, naim

  • my dad meeting ALECKY – supposedly my dad came off as being someone who would be easily offended

  • TODAI 4EVA! I think naim would be jealous here…plus all the non-cali people reading…it\’s a buffet of sushi, seafood and other asian delicacies

  • Tucker\’s ice cream forever!!!! And meeting UNDERDEVELOPED.

  • I deliberately woke up at 8 am so that ALECKY can be AMERIIIICAHN – taking a shower in the morning

  • seeing the guy with the \”I LOVE JESUS CHRIST\” sign who I saw a few weeks ago

  • another round of Metreon!!!

  • dim sum at New Asia in SF chinatown – I don\’t think I am going to do this again – the servers were preying on the fact that Stacee and I couldn\’t speak Chinese well…and the fact that we were young and obviously Americanized…and that we had a non-asian with us

  • Fisherman WHARF – I don\’t know why we spent so long at the magnet store…oh I know whhhhy…I have a picture for Cheez and Lele! *cough( I don\’t know why ALECKY spent $35 on a video of us flying on a magic carpet over SAN FRANCISCO yes we did fly!!!! ONLY IN SF

  • sea otters!!!!

  • THE BUSHMAN

  • Ghiradelli STORE – ALECKY and I forced stacee into having the Earthquake – 8 scoops of ice cream, 8 toppings, and mounds of whip cream, chocolate chunks, and cherries – I ate the majority of it

  • a carciature (see below) by a tired and worn artist
    artist: Your name, sir?
    Alec: Alec.
    Stacee and me: NOOOOO…ALECKY. K-Y.
    artist: K-Y? yes I like help. K-Y (which he proceeded to repeat for the next few minutes

  • ALECKY had a fillet-o-fish at McDonalds…not at In N Out :(

  • A \”NICE\” walk back to the BART station

  • watching my videos!

  • STAYING UP ALL NIGHT LONG (because ALECKY\’s flight was at 8:45 am and San Jose is an hour away and in these post 9-11 times, you have to get the airport early)…DOING STUFFFF

  • driving to San Jose International Airport (I am not going to do this again, people should always choose OAKLAND AIRPORT :p) and bidding a farewell to that ALECKY

    Yesterday, Alecky arrived and I spotted him across the street at the BART station because he was wearing the oh so spottable green cap and a nice luggage thing. I basically ran up and kicked him (sorta kinda). Then we went to my apartment to drop off stuff and went to Foothill for my staff meeting. Basically then I ditched him at the rec room and had the meeting…and afterwards I found him (sleeping) there while a guy was practicing piano.
    Then dinner in…Thai Basil. This is one of the few restaurants left in Berkeley that is not tainted by some memory of eating with someone that I didn\’t like. Then went to the library to find a friend who was supposed to help me with my paper but I couldn\’t find her at all…
    Then I worked on my 10 page paper with Alecky basically sitting on my futon reading The Squelch. Unfortunately, my other friend needed help with cs and being the good person I am, I spent some time on giving her tips…and uh…major help. Finished my paper around 3 am and slept.

    IN THE MORNING, because I have a pseudo-cold, I woke up at 7 and couldn\’t go back to sleep. I reluctantly got up and made myself a pseudo-breakfast while Alecky laid passed out on the futon. AWWW HOW INNOCENT. I worked on my paper some and made Alecky (who by then had finally dragged himself to the bathroom to GEL HIS HAIR???) read my paper. Then go to Foothil to do two appointments…then off to class (where supposedly I \”snorked\”)…then off to another appointment. Then lunch at Cafe Durant. Then nice walk around Berkeley where we stopped by EB games and Urban Outfitters.

    DOOOYYY. Now we\’re back here in my apartment…

    checking my status as a student:

    You are currently in the College of Letters and Science . Your class level is Senior with a major of Cognitive Science . You have satisfied the American History requirement and the American Institutions requirement and the American Cultures requirement and the Subject A requirement . You are not on the Degree List for the Spring 2003 semester.

    It didn\’t help at all that I was senior standing this semester. >:O

    I can\’t believe how many times I have attended office hours in the last week. Before this year, I would be so anxious to even go to one, in the fear that a professor or a gsi would consider me as one of THOSE students…

    But because I am desperate for help, the last week I have attended at least one office hour for each of my classes.

    Last Monday: I chickened out on going to office hours of my cs prof
    Tuesday: I ran to Soda Hall and found my CS gsi wandering around…to my embarassment, I asked her whether she was available and she said she was not and that she had class…
    Wednesday: spent a nice long hour with my gsi for cs (see above)
    Thursday: spent a long time with my ling gsi for hw, then ran to see the other cs gsi
    Friday: ran and got a signature from the perl instructor; then spent a nice 20 minutes with my cog sci gsi
    Monday: spent a nice 45 minutes with my ling gsi; skipped my own office hours…
    later today: maybe cog sci gsi, maybe ling gsi?

    Not that it helps, but it gives me beliefs that I have been helped…

    I sent an e-mail to AT&T broadband asking about the name change to Comcast and whether there was an increase in my monthly fee.

    And this is what I got back:
    Dear Jennifer,

    Thank you for writing to Comcast.

    Thank you again for contacting Comcast.

    WHAT THE FREAK?!?!?!?!?!?!?!??!?!?!?!?!?
