| returning to berkeley has been great. tho i wasn't wide-eyed like mike was who hasn't been here for 6 years. (six years! what were you doing? you were in california all these years!) in any case, returning to berkeley has been good for few reasons. 1. hanging out with mike in berkeley again. we are older but wiser. yet there's something about berkeley brings out the berkely us. it was good to have that again. 2. being in berkeley and seeing ppl who are curious about my time in the middle east has really helped me to begin to process my time there. i'm giving a talk sunday and preparing for that has also forced me to organize my thoughts and feelings, helping me to revisit in a healthy manner. 3. berkeley food is awesome. zachary's, top dog, peet's coffee and on and on. 4. summer weather is berkeley is the best. it's a big chilly you might say but it's just right. shorts, t-shirt and a hoodie. 5. reconnecting with old friends. i think there was more but i'm still rusty with xanga so i'll stop there. btw i started blog/xanga in berkeley. man, that's a long time ago!
go bears!
