A Summary of the Past Few Days...

Went to bed late. Woke up way too early. Tiptoed around. Knocked over stuff in kitchen. Oops. U-Bahn. Bus. Tegel no haz security. Sat on runway for four hours. Got to Munich four hours late. Smiled sweetly at employee and got both flights rescheduled. Oh, wait, my new flight boarded 15 minutes ago. Ran to new gate. Got two seats to myself!!!!! Studied. Slept. BART. Oakland. Hug from stranger? Don't know names.

Figured out names. Slept on couch. Woke up early. Went to school. Helped to prep classroom. Went back to apartment. Shower! Cafe. Pretended to study. Arizmendi Bakery! Yum, pizza. Walked around Lake Merritt. Sun! No ear muffs needed! Woo! CVS. Apartment. Studied. Mini nap. TFA Meet and Greet. Stood around awkwardly, tried not to fall asleep. Must eat food. Went to food court at restaurant. A vegan restaurant!? Yay! Mario Kart. Lost badly. Early to bed.

Woke up early. Played Mario Kart. Nap. Studied. Ready for test? Checked bag once, twice, then a third time. BART. MUNI? Oops, MUNI bus, not MUNI subway. Out of change. Grrrr. New ticket. Board MUNI bus. Sit. Wait. Pretend to study. Check in. Someone brought the wrong calculator? CSET time. Subtest II. Brain hurts. Where's the bathroom pass? Why is the free response so much easier than multiple choice? Subtest I. Much easier than Subtest II! Back to Oakland. Totally won at Wii Frisbee Golf. Fell asleep on couch while the others went to a club. (Such is my life.)

Loud people back at 4 AM. Dancing in kitchen. Devouring chocolate. L is dancing with boiling water? Hope the neighbors like Phantom of the Opera. Taboo! L tells me to wear stilettos and a suit while teaching next year. Others went to bed. I played Mario Kart.

Nap. Mario Kart. Nap. Check email. Mario Kart. Shower. Sun! Sconehenge. Mmmm @ the Mexican veggie omelette. Berkeley is lovely! Sat in sun! Mario Kart. More sun! Pack. First run-in with new security scanner at SFO. Surprised they're not doing strip searches. Guy ahead of me gets the full pat-down, but I waltz through. (Young Asian women don't make people suspicious.) Sleep. Hit head on window. Sleep. Run to catch plane. Berlin! (Still no security at Tegel.)

Goodbye, sun. I miss you already.
