Liddle Date!

After my last attempt to find the Berkeley waterfalls ended in a muddy face-plant, I never thought I'd go back. But I finally succeeded yesterday, with Kate's guidance! It couldn't have been a cuter date: biking mid-finals, then (stupidly) climbing up the waterfall (or in Kate's case, stepping in). 

Either way, the waterfalls were much more impressive than I thought. It really was a tiny oasis in the middle of Berkeley, with no sign of surrounding city life. The waterfall is behind Cordonices Playground, up a few secret trails. For detailed directions how to get there, see Weekend Sherpa.

Conversations to Remember

I do love my puns, and somehow R always manages to have the best ones:

R: So what is the deal with stalking Vassili? are you over Blah Blah? Quit vacillating!

:-D

Just for the record, I was not stalking anyone, just getting help reading a friend's blog that happened to be written in French.

How I Met Your Mother

"But never forget, that any day, you could step out the door, and your life can change forever."

-Ted Mosby :-)

After what has been a trying three months, an exhausting few weeks, and a demoralizing day trying to figure out what the next step in my life is, this quote was just what I needed. It really takes off the pressure and allows me to let my life unfold.
