Today, I love this picture:
Aaaand, I was kind of upset because I probably picked the worst weekend possible to visit Berkeley (I'm applying for next fall, by the way) because the whole Public Policy school (I'm applying for a dual degree... because why not) is out of town, in DC ironically, for a recruiting event. Also there are no school tours to be had. Also my boss Brian's friend who goes to Berkeley Law will be out of town and can't talk to me.
BUT
everything seems to be coming together nicely because people are super nice. One guy at the Public Policy school said he would be out of town but would send me a list of "Top 10" things to do around the school/surrounding neighborhood/etc. And one of the other Helena VISTAs is from the Bay area and emailed her friends asking if someone could host me (I had no luck with finding a CouchSurfing place), and her friends seem super nice and willing to host me. Plus one of them went to Berkeley undergrad so I can get some kind of idea about things. Plus they invited me to hang out with them.
People are great sometimes.
The only thing left to work out is getting to the airport Thursday morning... a winter storm's supposed to be blowing in and I'm flying out of Bozeman (almost two hours away from Helena). Luckily I'll miss most of the storm while I'm in SUNNY CALIFORNIA, but I do have to get there. Fingers crossed that I can make my 7am (ugh!) flight.
(But I won't have to because San Fran will be SUNNY :)
Also, you should watch this because it's hilarious. Happy election day, and don't vote for the crazy one. We all know who I mean.
xoxo Liz
