Its 3am by my alarm clock. Damn jet lag! I wash my face,put on the TV and open my First Aid CS book. This is really boring. I cant study all these cases again. I am aware that I haven't spent a quarter of the time studying as I should have. It does look like I have a pretty decent chance of not getting through this exam. Just cannot get myself to study. Am flitting between CNN news,HBO, espn (which is terrible) and First Aid. My stomach begins to grumble and I realise thats its been over 12 hours since my last meal.
Its America and things are open at 6 in the morning, unlike the UK. So, I am able to get myself a coffee and a donut while singing the praises of early bird americans. 8 in the morning and berkeley map in hand I set off to find JC. This somehow reminds me of my first day in Oxford, when I was trying to keep my appointment with AVSH and ended up walking all around Headington thanks to AVSH's PA's directions. Berkeley was better because its a slightly smaller campus compared to Oxford - although I did walk around the campus a bit before I got my directions right.
Got the keys to Stern hall - which is a girls dorm during term and rented out to visitors like me for the summer. The room is large but stinks and there is no ethernet, which is an even bigger pain. Anyway, it was a real pain moving all my luggage again from the hotel to this place.
I was lucky to get away with not paying excess baggage at LHR - the BA lady obviously took pity on me knowing how annoying and difficult trudging along with 70kgs of rubbish was going to be.
Anyway, by the time I got my stuff into Stern Hall it was 2pm. Time for a quick lunch, walk over back to Hotel and attempt to get some studying done. But I had forgotten about the jet lag and with a nice heavy chinese chowmein inside me, a dark room and double bed in front of me my body decided to take a 6 hour nap! Woke up and midnight and studied intermittently till about 6am. before getting ready to leave the hotel for LA and my exam!
