aargh. there is NO ONE....
stanford feels like a holiday resort. the sprawling campus, the rows of palm trees, cars cruising slowly along the roads, the plentiful dorm housing that looks like pseudo chalets all contribute to this impression... everything is so spread out too.... and they even have their own golf course and i saw horses while on my way to the tennis courts! haha. all the buildings aren't that pretty though.. all yellow.. unlike places like yale with such awesome buildings. it feels really comfortable with jing driving me around to go places, with no time constraints once again and just doing what we feel like doing. had brunch at one of the dorms; by far i think it's the most similar to super dc food... only had one meal here so i cannot really tell the standard of the food here i guess. then went to stanford shopping centre to shop and had dinner at the cupertino ranch and went shopping at ranch too. bought some food for cooking and the piggy me finished one box of egg roll when i came back to jing's room. while waiting to go the green library to borrow dvds. apparently stanford has a huge collection of dvds, with fairly recent titles; we borrowed catch me if u can and road to perdition... i wonder if bereklely stocks dvds too... they probably do, just that i never bothered to check them out..

night cycling was a totally refreshing experience. especially since i haven't been cycling for such a long time... now i totally understand why jing says people have to get bikes, cos the campus is just so spread out that it is scarcely possible to run for classes if u wake up late. now i dun really get the point of cycling on UC campus cos it seems so tiny by comparison. Cycling is really relaxing, and at night it's nice in a way cos there's hardly anyone and though i's a little cold when the wind blows in ur face, it's really enjoyable. feel like getting a bike to cycle to school, but then again it probably isn't that advisable to cycle along San Pablo with all the pollution and by the time i get to sch i'd probably be too tired to concentrate on classes..
