Yeah, it's a pretty lame Saturday but I was too tired to do anything after losing sleep to watch the lightning, moving in the morning, getting groceries, driving around the area, and going to the gym. My mom and sister helped me get groceries at a Korean market, so that was pretty cool. It would have been a lot cooler if my sister didn't complain the whole time. I couldn't yell at her, though, because she gave me $100 bucks of her bonus earlier in the day. Love you, Channon!
It's different here (compared to Berkeley), but there are some nice things about the area. There's a lot of green and it's safe to bike, and I have some friends who live/work in the area (you know who you are). Plus, my sister (the complaining nice one I mentioned earlier) is close by and she works like 10 minutes away. One thing I do NOT like, however, is the fact that a lot of the food joints close early here. I just drove for a while and I swear - the only food place open that didn't have a bar-ish element to it was JITB. I don't really do fast food so this could be an issue.
There's an awesome all you can eat Korean BBQ place about 15 minutes away. It's a little pricy, but I definitely want to go sometime: http://www.yelp.com/biz/palace-bbq-buffet-sunnyvale#hrid:P7UBSIsotzZ9bItih04Lqw/src:search/query:korean bbq buffet
On to the room/roommates: It's a little small, and I got a little jacked because I was the last person here. The other two roommates are friends who flew in from India three days ago (hence, the jacked room situation). That alone had the potential to create weird roommate dynamics, but the one I met was pretty nice. The other one is visiting some family in Sunnyvale over the weekend. I'll let you know how things are once we're all here. They're both engineers, by the way - one is EE and the other is MSE.
The bed IS small, but I got a memory foam mattress topper and I brought my old comfy blanket so the sleep should be fine. I set up my room like it was at home:
Wow. I sound really boring. And like a fatty because all I talked about was food for the first half.
Tomorrow my goal is to find/steal a bike. And some new friends who don't have a hope of being as cool as the ones I already have. :)
