It\\’s just a feeling of attachment to what is good and great now. I wasn\\’t ever that bitter being rejected by SIMS (UC Berkeley\\’s School of Information Management Systems located in South Hall), but I started regretting not delaying grad school for a year. Just a desire to make the pressent last a little longer that made me call ATA and ask to delay my flight for a few days.<\/p>\n
After they slapped me a possible $120 fee, reality hit me hard in the face. I already received the new masters student orientation<\/a> and it looks like I\\’ll be meeting a lot of people (reminder to self: don\\’t be shy!) Pittsburgh will be good. It\\’s not like I am arriving there without knowing anybody. I already know Marina. And I have been in touch with Belinda, a girl from my aunt\\’s fellowship. Furthermore, three professors from Berkeley are transporting themselves there. Three students including me are going to be in the masters program. Not to mention, I already know a current PHD student and an incoming PHD student there. So why the nostalgia? Lafayette, my hometown, will always be the same – I will always see my parents, my sister. But Berkeley will change. It\\’s a fluid town, where I spent the last 4 years trying to never regret missing an opportunity.<\/p>\n Ok for some: opportunities may mean meeting random phone guy in front of Fat Slice at 12 am, having a guy hit on me during my RCC office hours and inviting him to my party out of guilt, meeting all these BOYZ that I first met online, being suckered to walk to the Campanlie at 3 am, back-talking to a guy who followed my roommate home and scared her witless…<\/p>\n BTW, guarantee<\/i> is misspelled at my friend\\’s site (another Chris) freestuffcrazy.com<\/a>. He wants you to click on his ads. The site reminds me of a cheaper version of my cousin\\’s site dealuniversity.com<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" It\\’s just a feeling of attachment to what is good and great now.
