It's funny how I always feel disoriented when I return to my dorm after a stay at home. It seems like I shouldn't belong here. Most of all, it feels like I am supposed to attain a different personality here rather when I am at home. Or furthermore, where is home?
I guess this is evidence that I am finally moving beyond the home-attached child.
Lydia, Pri, and my sis came to Cal with me today. Mostly, we walked around the campus aimlessly. We went to the extension buildings twice and I introduced Kathy, Tram, and Hien to them. Hmm...oookay, awkwardness. I felt a little bad that I kept ditching Hien and Tram. Yet then again...on my usual Mondays, I usually couldn't ever make it to the extension on time to have lunch with them. Besides, I get sick eating Vietnamese food. Or in other words, I don't prefer Vietnamese food. I prefer the all-American lunch.
My sis and I basically only had tapioca drinks for lunch while we watched Lydia and Pri feast upon bowls of something very strange. Some noodle bowl. I dragged them to a lecture too...and my sis and I fell asleep while Pri and Lydia were engrossed with Professor Dan's rantings about fractals. Sigh and Pri complained a lot attending something education during their week off for Thanksgiving. :p
What was sad though was when Catherine asked if Doreen was my older sister. AGH!!! NOOOOOOOO! Later at the RCC internship meeting, Catherine confided in me that Doreen looked older with the makeup and the platform shoes while I looked...just young. The best part was that she didn't think we look alike. What a relief.
RCC Internship...hmm...interesting. The naive, computer illiterate Cindy asked too much details about networking. Blah blah. Today my computer superiority complex (which really has no rationale for its existence) got a hold over me. Blah, well I was not totally embarrassed. Maybe I should share less.
"Oh you have a minihub in your room? Have you ever experimented with it?" the self-declared geeky Hansel the RCC asked.
"Uh...no..." I am disinterested! That's why!
"Oh you have heard about Airports? Can you tell us a little bit about it?"
"Uh...it's wireless...no cable...good stuff."
One thing I learned today: the Internet is an information packets orgy.
