I guess the sky knew how I felt as the raindrops fell endlessly with my sinking heart. I woke up to my roommate who came back from LA and got myself ready just in time for the bus to come around the neighborhood. I arrived on time for classes and period really screwed my mood up. I didn't get to talk to many people as the ambiance in class was pretty tensed... but I tried, I talked to one new person each in every session I attended today.
Tuesday was the day where I had the shortest lunch break, but it's still long enough for me to walk out of uni for food (truth: one doesn't simply knows where the canteens on campus are located). I might be starting to adjust myself to the prices here and start to spend less cautiously. Life sucks when the heart is poor, so I'd fill it up with good food.
I didn't expect that I'll have more group projects than I normally have in my home university, and as the reality of being friendless here hits in I started to feel a little lonely. Rome is not built in one day, friendships, too. My sneakers and socks, heavily soaked by the splashes as I walk led me to the decision not to go for the welcome event held for the exchange students and instead head home. I made sweet potato soup again, and I felt really cozy from the inside as I taste the ginger in it. Halfway through my dinner I had to leave to catch the bus for grocery shopping, and gosh I love the Berkeley Bowl so much I think I might have just bought two weeks' worth of food.
One day can be pretty short in Berkeley. This place is just too big to navigate around. Tomorrow's 8am class is cancelled and yes life's good.
Good night.
