1) Weather - It has been perfect the last past days. Sunshine and warmth, I can wear dresses and don't even need a jacket. I am pretty much outside all the time. It is perfect for running, hiking and sailing (which I just did the other day, it was amazing!!!).
2) San Francisco - Berkeley is so close to this lovely city. Last week I went there 4 times. You can do anything there. This week I went shopping (so many great stores), celebrated chinese new year in Chinatown, (having deliciouse Dimsum), went clubbing (at Vessels) and visited the Symphony (we went to Haydn, Schubert, Bach concert).
3) Food - ohhh I love the food here. Fresh fruits and vegetables everyday. Grocery shopping is fantastic. I just recently discovered Monterey Market. They provide an array of delicious seasonable produce. I have so much choice there on all kinds of fruits and vegetables, all grown here. I don't even want to think about normal supermarkets anymore. In our house we like to share meals and my housemate is a fantastic cook. What he cooks is really gourmet food. Once a week I also have a cooking night with friends. We rotate every time the location and 2-3 people prepare the dinner. Last time we were at my friend's new place (Aleks just moved into a beautiful wooden house, with view to the San Franisco Skyline and Golden Gate Bridge). It was such great food and we were up till 3.30 in the morning.
4) People - I have truly met great & inspiring people and made good friends. Aleks and I just recently discussed how lucky we are to have met such great guys. It is always fun :) I am so thankful.
5) UC Berkeley - the school is great. A few months ago I wasn't sure if I wanted to stay in psychology at all. Now I am all enthusiastic about my research & classes. I am reading journals like crazy and I already learned so many new exciting things.
