<p>I would watch Weeds, but it makes me want to start smoking weed again, so I had to stop. My last time in Berkeley, a few years ago, I was getting a prescription for pot.</p>
<p>@Jane Oh man I forgot about that. Yuck dude I would have burned them or something if I were Shane.</p>
<p>@Empathy Weed is not my drug of choice so it doesn’t faze me. I have some trouble watching Californication though . . .</p>
<p>@empathy No way man, go to SC! But you’re gonna get into berk, so stop all this SC talk 
I’m on irvine’s website right now, logged in with my UCInetid, still no info I can find. Davis is still offering me the best deal of any of them (free education!).</p>
<p>yeah i dont do drugs, i am still true to my DARE promise, except for the alcohol part.
the only chemical dependency i have is caffeine. i would never smoke, i am a swimmer, i cant mess up my lungs.</p>
<p>@solidblu Danggg. Go to Davis then. It’s a really good school. I didn’t like the campus but I think you said you did?</p>
<p>I never did harder drugs; there’s a lot of abuse in my family, so I’ve learned to stay away. Yeah, I can’t do it anymore. My imagination is so intense, it’s like I’m high under the effect of nothing. Being high just gets ridiculous.</p>
<p>:confused:</p>
<p>If I make under $70K a year my UCSD fees are covered? If they are covered I still get FinAid money?</p>
<p>@Jane I have a very addictive personality so everything I do I have to make sure I don’t go overboard. I have to be very aware of myself all the time to make sure I don’t eat/drink/smoke/exercise/diet/study/sleep too much. I’m just naturally inclined to excess. Sometimes it can be a good thing and sometimes it screws me up, lol.</p>
<p>@AwesomeStudent I think so . . .</p>
<p>hey AwesomeStudent, check out their Blue and Gold program, read this article and then ask the finaid office when you SIR:
[University</a> of California - UC Newsroom | Blue and Gold covers more lower-income families](<a href=“http://www.universityofcalifornia.edu/news/article/22477]University”>http://www.universityofcalifornia.edu/news/article/22477)</p>
<p>Thanks for the link, Jane.</p>
<p>The past year I made about $12K working part time. I wanted to focus more on school. I moved in with a roommate and did all that low-budget lifestyle stuff to get by.</p>
<p>@jane I have the “blue and gold” thing. Its kinda cool, I likes it :D</p>
<p>@enchanted Yep, I did like it. What didn’t you like about it? Which campuses do u like more?</p>
<p>Oh and I checked on UC Irvine, just to be sure, here’s what it says: Your file is complete and we are expecting to begin awarding financial aid in mid-April. You will receive notification from us once your award information is available. </p>
<p>Gosh dang it!</p>
<p>Getting stoned is nice when you want to be manually awestruck. It became a pretty big habit for me though. It killed my motivation for everything. But I’m the kind of person that couldn’t stay away. I can’t take anyone’s word for anything. </p>
<p>Carl Sagan is an OG.</p>
<p>yeah he is, i saw the intro of Cosmos and his wife was speaking about him and she looked so sad and i thought to myself what is it about her i feel like i know her! she loves this guy for his beautiful passionate brain. who does she remind me of?
it turns out we have the same birthday, and i could totally see why she loved him.</p>
<p>@solid I got the same message from UCI, too.</p>
<p>solidblu- yeah i have the Gold and Blue program too!!! i am super excited about it. its so awesome.</p>
<p>Awwww, Jane “The Doe” Sagan.</p>
<p>To add my own two bits to things - I’ve never smoked anything or done any drugs. I did caffeine heavily back in my EMT days though (we lived off that stuff). What I do do is alcohol. For some reason it took me forever to guage how much alcohol I should drink, and thats why I thought of myself as “doing” it. I was such a freakin binge drinker. More than half of the times I’ve been drinking I’ve ended the night passed out, no joke. Most of my “alcohol stories” were told to me by my friends, because I couldn’t remember a thing. Scary. I’m also lucky to have such cool friends, I’ve actually never been drawn on hahaha. I always just wake up in my buddy’s house, and go home. Lucky for me I’ve finally figured out how much I can have to have a good time, but still go home on my own two feet. Tough lessons haha.</p>
<p>yeah he is not my type but damn his brain and passion and the way he talked, he translated these big ideas so that every lay person could understand.
right now i am reading The Dragons of Eden, good stuff.
he is truly missed, RIP. :(</p>
