I know I haven’t been posting my normal supply of updates. After studying for countless hours for my organic chemistry midterm and failing miserably, I haven’t been in the mood to post updates. Thankfully, I’m feeling much better now after much inner reflection.
I decided to try escape Berkeley yesterday. I needed an outlet for my disappointment. Since I’m a movie addict, I felt that the best cure would be watching a movie, so I decided to go watch Kill Bill 2.
After going to my American Culture lecture and discussion, I ran down to the BART station and got on a subway train heading towards San Francisco. During the periods when the train traveled above-ground, I was able to watch the city of Berkeley slowly fade into the city of Oakland. These images caused me to feel relief, happiness, some sadness, and that strange feeling you get when you leave home. I was leaving my home, the University of California at Berkeley.
My excursion to San Francisco was the first time I had been there in nearly 5 months; my last visit to San Francisco was to buy Christmas presents. I had been anxious to visit the city; last semester, I went to San Francisco nearly every week. However, I hadn’t planned on visiting under such melancholy circumstances; it was definitely a strange feeling.
I got off at the Powell Street BART station and walked towards the Metreon; I surprised myself by remembering how to get there. At the Metreon, I purchased a ticket for the 4:20 showing of Kill Bill, and, since I was early, decided to kill time by playing Final Fantasy X at the Sony Playstation store. The film ended near 7 PM, and, since there was still light, I headed towards Fisherman’s Wharf to buy some In-N-Out for dinner. I got back to Berkeley just after 9:30.
