More happenings in San Jose
Vertigo comes and goes, but I've decided to keep quiet. Everyone appears to enjoy making a horrible fuss, especially my most senior professor (don't get me started on her!). Mostly, I just keep to myself. I eat on my own, travel on my own. The scenery around here is amazing - both the architecture and the natural environment as well. There's such a wonderful mix of temperate and tropical plants. The weather is fantastic, nice and cool. I can just walk for hours and hours. That's the best part of this place; it doesn't get dark until like seven or eight at night! So different from home, where six is pitch dark sometimes. I've bought so many books, my professors are afraid I'll exceed the airline limit, but they're so cheap and plentiful, I can't help myself. My other indulgence is candy; so much candy that we don't get back in Thailand, I'm such a glutton. My money is fast evaporating, so I'm trying to pinch pennies as I have yet to check off items on my "to buy" list, except Goldfinger's stuff. Man, comic books are expensive! Never knew how much until I had to buy one. Going to go to a mall soon to get "Dean's" stuff; went to Borders bookstore and asked for a book I want to get him, but it hasn't come in yet. Anyhow, wasn't a waste of time, coz the clerk was so cute, completely my type - Chinese-looking, glasses and bonus, works in a bookstore! Hehehe, wish I could take him home with me. Ugh, gotta get off now, am in class. Learning a lot, about tablet PCs, iPods, different websites for use in the classroom. Very informative.
Final thought: I hope I can take all my books home!

If all else fails, mail your books home :) I always forget how cheap books are in North America, compared to almost all other countries!

I didn't know the U.S. was a cheap book hot spot. I suppose I should be greatful. Glad the weather's well; I was in Southern Cali a couple months ago and it was overcast, cold and rainy the whole time. I even got to see it snow in L.A. which the locals claimed to not have seen in more than 20 years. I wasn't too happy, becaue I wanted the sunshiny Cali you hear about in all the songs. Oh well. Enjoy your trip!
