Honestly, I forgot to bring Calvin to the Cal vs. USC game :( but maybe it was for the better (bless his virgin eyes, 3-30? COME ON!) I was also going to paint him her* (thanks Brian) purple (shoutout to Purple Pandemonium Woot Woot!) but I didn't think people would appreciate his new color :( as our family would.

Calvin's a great bear. After rigorous psychoanalysis and hours of unblinkingly long nights, I have concluded that Calvin, just might be... alive (the very thought troubles me so!)

BTW Calvin pooped out two fat pieces of batteries (props to whoever can get those back in). I don't know what he's eating, but 1800-Jenny-Craig much?

Anyways, one week just isn't enough for the bundle of furry excitement that Calvin truly is... Hope the next member of the week will take good care of him!

-Eric :)

PS: Calvin tried to eat me.

WE LOST 3-30?!!!

...I mean... It was fun being with you, Eric! And honestly I wouldn't've minded the purple, hehe. It's a nice color, I think (although I'm kind of more fond of blue and gold. I guess I'm biased).

and of course I'm alive!! dead things don't poop, you know. wait, or do they?

h- hey, I wasn't trying to eat you, I swear!! I was just smiling, okay. really!

Oh and who's Jenny Craig? Is she cute?

This has been a week of discovery for Calvin and I. First, Calvin got to find out what its like to live on frat row, very much unlike other living experiences in other apartments, I'm sure.

Calvin also got to know how extreme Extreme Pizza really is. But I had the privilege of discovering that Calvin is reportedly a female bear!! (Check the passport at the back). Shocking, I know!

Extreme Pizza was pretty darn extreme. Just like me! Except not as much.

Woahhhhh there. Okay. Confession time. There was a time in my life when i thought I was a female. But you know-- gender doesn't really define me! I'm Calvin, and always will be Calvin, regardless of whether I'm wearing a suit or a dress. And Calvin's love for Circle K will not change either way, and that's the most important thing!

Anyway-- thanks Brian! I really enjoyed chilling with you at your apartment. Even if it's on frat row!

It was great seeing Calvin again after a year, and I'm sure Calvin was happy that I'm back. Right after the meeting I introduced Calvin to my roommates and they loved having another cal bear (literally!!!) over. Calvin has learned a lot since I last saw him since he was able to both help us study, and help me make awesome smoothies as well.

Wednesday consisted of Calvin giving me a nostalgia tour of the stuff I missed during my year off.

Thursday was interesting. Did you know that Calvin was well versed in multiple martial arts. He threw me to the ground in one motion and absorbed my kicks.

After a busy week, Calvin slept in on Saturday while I was out on service projects. My roommate Grace took great care of him though. On Sunday, we went to Adopt-a-Creek where Calvin actually helped us pull out an entire tree.

On Sunday I took Calvin out for chinese food and we also went to the SLC to study for midterms.

Overall a great week full of adventure. I'll post some pics on facebook soon enough. A great start to the year indeed. I am sure Calvin thought it was great having me back. Calvin will have more adventures soon enough with both new faces and old. So enter fall 2009 and good luck with the rest of the semester Calvin. Good luck and stay safe.

I missed you John! I'm really happy to know that I'll be seeing you around.

And of course I'll stay safe! I'm so hardcore strong I'll be able to deflect whatever harm comes my way! (Plus I have all you guys at Circle K to back me up hehe)

I'm so honored to be taking care of Calvin this last week before summer vacation =] On Friday Calvin was the life of the party at this year's Spring Banquet. Calvin watched a lot of seniors say their goodbyes. He looked so sad... but I know he's eager for a new yaer of members to share adventures with!

On Saturday we helped set-up RCD's Walk-a-Thon. It was a picture-perfect summer day... Calvin and I took a pretty chill walk throughout campus to help place guide markers. After the event, Calvin and I went to Yogurtland with Bethany, Wesley, Anna, Ted, Sylvia, and Joe Lee! We went home with very content stomachs and returned to our normal routine of studying with our good friends Morrison and Moffitt >.<

Other than that, there was not much I could do with Calvin as MoW. I wish we spent more time doing fun stuff together but finals are fast approaching! Good-bye and adieu Calvin... have a great summer!

You know, friends come and sometimes- they have to go. It's a good thing I was gifted with this amazing intelligence because I remember every single one of them.

On a different note, Morrison is the best place to nap. mmmmmm naps.

I had a very, very busy week and didn't get Calvin until Thursday. But he arrived just in time to ride to Fresno on the train. He thought it was an awesome ride as he got to see the sun set over the Bay. the weather in Fresno was great and me and Calvin spent the morning outside enjoying the sun.

On Saturday my grandparents came to visit and Calvin impressed everyone with his mighty growl (he even scared my dog!). He got to enjoy a delicious steak dinner with fresh strawberries for dessert. By Sunday though Calvin had developed asthma from the bad air and was happy to return to Berkeley and the fresh Bay air.

Whoever invented steak was a genius.
