11/21/2003 07:03:00 PM | Richie Jay Life in Berkeley Believe it or not, it does get cold around here sometimes. Today, while everyone else puts on 5 layers, gloves, scarf and hat (it was 50 degrees freezing this morning), I chose to wear my wonderful Dartmouth hoodie. Around school, a few folks asked "Why don't you purchase a Cal sweatshirt?" (Answer: Why spend $50 for yet another hoodie, and also, nobody at grad school actually has school pride, except this one weekend because of the Cal-Stanford football game. We don't even go to school on campus. And nobody at public policy school owns Cal gear. The nearby coffee shop had a Cal colors day yesterday, and I was the only one of my friends to get the school pride discount, and that was because my Tabard sweatshirt, which I wore yesterday, happens to be blue and gold.) Walking home after school, I stopped in a bakery for a cookie. "So, you went to Dartmouth?" asked the clerk. "Yes," I replied. "And now you're here, in Berkeley?" she said. "Yes. It was a long trip," I responded. "So, did you write for that right-wing newspaper at Dartmouth?" she inquired. "No, oh no, I wrote for the left-wing one." I quickly proclaimed. "Good. Good. Dartmouth. Crazy. Well, have a nice day," she sighed as I walked off with my delicious cookie. perma link |
