day 5

was as unproductive really, as days 1 through 4. i'm willing to forgive myself one last time.

p and i went to berkeley today, and i spent much time at brewed. drank the mocha, but the mugs had changed. the couches are the same though, with the "men, coffee, chocolate... the richer the better" cushion. i saw plenty of familiar faces - professors from first year c.s. courses, students i knew from days at berkeley and stanford... the breezeway was just the same, and i missed our lunches at varamai. p and i had makur pad for lunch, though the management there has changed. needless to say, i was nostalgic through and through. even as i parked at a broken meter (only to be slapped with a $30 ticket!). berkeley feels like home.

a and i walked campus drive today. it was excellent - invigorating and thought-provoking. brought to mind questions i do not know that i have answers to. food for thought.

and tomorrow is thanksgiving! dhwani has a little picnic in the morning (where i get to take pictures, yay), and at 4 i will attend the gcc thanksgiving dinner. after that, i promise to work super hard. giving thanks must not be rushed though, by any means.

happy thanksgiving, world! whether you're down in india or up in the mountains, i hope you have an awesome holiday :).
