A couple weekends ago, I went to check out the UC Berkeley campus. I've been meaning to visit the school for quite a while, but just never quite made it until now. It's one of the top Engineering schools in the US and I plan to apply here for my graduate studies. Visiting the campus took me back to my grade 12 days, when I went around to various universities to see what the campus atmosphere is like in choosing my undergrad school. The exact same feeling surfaced, except now I'm looking into graduate aspects.
Overall, UC Berkeley is awesome. It's secluded enough from the outside world that it's quite within, yet close enough to downtown to enjoy the benefits of city pleasures. The campus is clean, vibrant, and full of green space; very nature-themed. I'd love to attend this fine institution.
Last Saturday, a few of us went to see The Killers in concert at Bill Graham Civic in San Francisco. I like them, but I'm not a huge fan like some of the people in attendance, so I didn't have high anticipation going in. However, The Killers totally blew me away. They performed songs from both their albums and sound really good live. The concert was entertaining, interactive, and full of energy. They got the get-on-your-feet-sing-along-rock-n-roll-songs going for them. My respect for The Killers have gone up significantly since seeing them live.
Now yesterday, a bunch of us went to the Intel Museum. It's merely 10 minutes away from my house and admission is FREE, so you can't go wrong. We followed through the guided tour that explained how Intel started, their products, fab, and operation. A good way to waste a couple hours.
