So much has happened in these past few weeks. So many people I’ve met and unknown streets I’ve wandered down. So many chance encounters and fortunate events. So many things both wonderful and terrible, yet I cannot seem to write about them.
So for now my pictures will have to do.

it is now half past three
I am going to change out of my pyjamas. I am going to eat carrot sticks and houmous. I am going to go outside and do something fun.

& I am haunted by your memory. Pieces of you that affect the places I roam with a cold chill. My mind conjures up an image of you as I walk down the street as we often did so many times before, and I could swear I see the imprint of your body against the leather seat we used to sit upon together, arms wrapped together tightly, two entwined as one.

I don’t know what’s going on, but my flatmate is playing something really loudly down the hallway & it genuinely sounds like a real life horror movie. #scaredtoleavebedroom

Tonight has been such a great night & I’m just filled with so many FEEEEEEEEEEEEEELINGSSSSSSSS. (P&R, what up?!)
Went out to Brick Lane and met great people and ate a bagel and took many pictures with strangers and tried to ride a stationary Barclays bike but my legs were too stubby and when I got back I rode my bike to Pooley but along the canal and behind the building and in...

a que hora
One of the more difficult things about being in London is the time difference between here and California. (+8 hours) It’s hard to find a good time to talk to my friends and family back home, but mostly it’s hard because I wake up on Thursday thinking, ‘IT’S PARKS THURSDAY!!!’ and then I realize I’ll have to wait until around 3am to actually watch anything.

stress free's the way to be
Woke up, finished, edited & submitted my Modernism paper. I was feeling pretty good about myself and headed down to the eye clinic. … I GOT TOTALLY LOST IN THE HOSPITAL. I kid you not, I walked by this one man six times and felt absolutely ridiculous. Anyway, no luck in that department. I needed a letter from my GP, so it’s back to square one. It was then off to Cutty Sark in the...

flat love
Cat: Hi Jane! My cousin is coming tonight and I was wondering if I could still borrow your air mattress?
Me: My friend still has it, but I can get it from her and drop it off later.
Cat: You're a beautiful person.
Me: That's all I ever wanted to hear in life

clock's ticking
I’m compiling a to-do list for my senior year at Berkeley. (gulp) Things like, naked run, 4.0 hill, etc. It doesn’t necessarily have to be senior-specific, more like things you should do before you graduate Cal. Anyone have anything they’d like to suggest I do?

superficial rant
I am tired of my glasses. I am sick of obscuring my face behind thick lenses and heavy plastic. I am tired of the frames that rest upon and battle with my piercing. I want my contacts back. More than anything I want my eye to get better. I am tired of the pain, sometimes subsiding, yet always present. How has it been nearly half a year since I have put up with this?
I know that with all the shit...

positive affirmation
Today I randomly decided to say at least three nice things about my friends who were in the room with me. I think it initially kind of weirded them out, but in the end they were all smiling and I’d like to think that they were feeling happy and thankful by the end of it.
Really though, why is it so strange to compliment someone? Not just on how they look or what they’re wearing, but...

Another gray morning, no will to get up. Closing my eyes surrendering to inexplicable exhaustion. Sleeping the day away and getting up at 2pm. Spending the day surrounded by friends, working on a paper, laughing in the kitchen having a midnight scone party. Walking home in the darkness with rain softly falling onto bare shoulders. Window open, listening to the drunken revelry of students....

Today I willed myself to be a stranger. Today I willed myself to be a ghost, invisible, haunting the places that I now call home. Curled into a ball upon my bed, eyes open but unseeing. Wincing at the sound of voices in the hallway hoping no one would dare to knock upon my door. Reluctant to leave the solace of my room with its locked doors. Today I slowly wandered outdoors glad for once that we...
