Day 169

June 27, 2009.

I visit the East Bay Humane Society (animal shelter) with some friends. I liked this dog, very much. She also had the best lit "cell" in the place.

Day 168

June 26, 2009.

This is the lightbulb my old housemate Jimmy rescued from the socket. It had melted so much we couldn't unscrew it. Hence the burned, darkened portions. It doesn't work anymore... but it makes for an interesting artistic escapade.

Day 166

June 24, 2009.

After being poked fun at for my fashion designer book (shown) inspired shots, I hold it up in silent protest.

Day 157

June 15, 2009.

I've never been sent home for a sick day before. Until today. I couldn't stop coughing, pretty heavily, in a staff meeting at work; my boss stopped me and told me to take the day off. And the next, if I had to. So I left, and came home, and slept, dozed, tossed, turned until 8 p.m. then got up out of my bed to make food (shown above.) I guess now 我要联系休息，希望我学得到。。。

Day 142

May 31， 2009.

I could have sworn I spent all day cleaning and moving, moving and cleaning, but it seems that my room become even messier in the end. These are some shots of the view from my bed. After moving one roommate out and one new one in, I find that I need also to move myself back in to my own room. Eventually. 慢慢来就是了。

Day 113

April 30, 2009.

我今天特别累。上课上的很专心，跟朋友谈话谈得很开心。。。只是回到自己一个人走路回家时，发现自己的头脑很痛，也不是“头痛”就是脑子今天下了不少力气来领悟教授们所解释的概念，说出的每一个字都有意义，不能忽略。跟朋友在一起是，还是一样要花力气，问问他们今天好不好，夏天干嘛，对期末考紧不紧张，等等往常问的问题。回家后，室友问我我为什么显得那么难过，但是不是难过，只能说是没有感觉了，所有的劲儿都花光了，我却忘记把一点留给我自己了。 明天再来咯。

Day 66

March 11, 2009.

I missed Tuesday, but it is okay. Here is today's.

I woke up with a headache and stinging throat, so I missed class and work for the first time this semester. Sadly, missing work is not so easy-- I arranged for ETS to record lecture, then went to pick it up in the afternoon, went to their office in Dwinelle, got a boombox (it was a cassette) and played the tape to transcribe lecture and send it in. This is me, sitting on the floor of Dwinelle with my huge boombox and empty lunch box, listening to Prof. Olney talk about income distribution. Gah...

At least dinner made up for it. :) Thanks Berkel Berkel, thanks Jen.
