hats off to cal for finally beating #12 washington. maybe boller is a sleeper. why couldn't he wake up while i was there!!! our new coach should get the nobel prize... funny, i never thought i'd have school pride. i've already caught myself acting pretentious on several occaisions... sample conversation:

me: hello, nice to meet you. what college did you go to?
new friend: hi. i went to berkeley.
me: really?!?! i was class of 2001. i'm really class of 2000, but i doubled, so i stayed a year longer.
new friend: cool. i was class of 2002.

so gay. just writing this down made me realize how much more gay it is than when i had originally thought of the idea. i'm actually identifying myself by what year i graduated. and i even brag that i doubled so that people won't think i'm dumb for taking five years to graduate. haha... yeah, i'm gay. but, at the same time, saying this early on helps me to avoid a lot explaining later on.

pride, it always ruins a proud moment...
