Trapped at Berkeley

According to the Cal Dining website, the dorm dining commons will begin offering pizzas on week nights after the regular meal hours. Students will be able to “call-in” their orders, pick them up in person, and pay with their dining points or plain cash.

While I’m not a fan of Cal Dining’s pizza, this will certainly help me to save some cash; I have too many dining points as it is, and pizza is the perfect energy food for engineers. Last year I practically spent all my allowance money on food - a typical order from West Coast Pizza, one of the better pizzerias in town, usually costs $20 with tax, delivery, and tip. And I was ordering multiple pizzas per a week. I did eat meals at the dining commons, but they close rather early (7:30 PM for Foothill), and after that you either have to wander the streets of Berkeley to find food or order pizza.

Now I just have to figure out how I should spend my now-liberated allowance…
