Yee! Even though I was late, I still got Calvin. He growled at me when we first met. I think he was excited for scared of all the fun that was in store for him! We went to my dorm and watched GLEE! Calvin agreed with me that it was one of the best shows on TV. The rest of the week was homework! Calvin was oober helpful with my derivatives and related rate problems, seems he's learned a lot in his years at Cal. Calvin came to work with me where he wanted to hide from all of the dangerous children. Afterwards, we ate at Crossroads. He strongly advised me not to eat the meat, for it was not entirely cooked. Calvin knows his meat! >:] The next few days were filled with Circle K events. He was excited to be doing service, 

but he told me that he was sad that he couldn't come out of the bag for most of them. "A bear's fur has got to stay clean," he said. 
    Calvin was excited to run into his previous owner from years ago--Josh. He growled in excitement. Afterwards he led the way to Target, so we could go make microwave cake with some fellow Circle-Kers that he may see again in the future. He liked the cake and asked for more, with extra honey! The next few days were filled with boredom and homework, but to make it interesting we watched anime together and I taught him how to say "I love Circle K" in MANY different languages!
   

 I HAD A WONDERFUL TIME W/ YOU, CALVIN! *call me >:D

  Yay! Calvin, which I have to say is the most adorable bear ever got to stay with me this week! I was so excited to meet him! I wanted to bring him everywhere and get him to meet everybody. Unfortunately, I, the most horrible companion, had a hectic week with my midterms right around the corner D: But Calvin supported me all the way! He rooted for me while I was studying and made sure that I was on task. He even knew when I needed a break and convinced me to go on the Washington Elementary project. We had so much fun there. Apparently, Calvin is an amazing craftsman. He was way better than me at taking apart wood and attempted to carry the heavy wooden poles himself. His strength was unbelievable!

Then, I was going to take Calvin to the Night on the Town social but he knew that I really wanted to go to Fall Free for All so he convinced me to study and take him to the performances on Sunday instead. When we came back, he said that they were spectacular and he even told me that he learned a lot from them! I'm going to miss you Calvin! Until we meet again (: !

We watched Minji sleep. But then Calvin got the flu and had to hide from society while I took my finals. He lost some weight too. Good diet plan. Later

So I didn't go to any Circle K events. 
    But, he did things that he haven't done. I took Calvin to LBNL. I let him enjoy the view from up there. Also, he got to listen to all the nerdiest equations that he would never use lol. 
   On Friday, finally he got to drink (or watch me drinking). I know he is underage so I didn't give him alcohol. (Don't worry guys!) But he had to stay up until 6 with me.
   Other than that, he almost spent his time at the library. He must have finished a lot of work! :) 
   My Winnie-the-Pooh got to meet Calvin. And they liked each other!! It has been a year! :( Oh well! It's too sad that we can't have time together ㅠ_ㅠ

Calvin is such an awesome buddy! I didn't get a chance to hear him growl like how others before me have, but I still love him! For most of the week, he stayed in my dorm room helping me get through my papers and exams. But he got to meet my roommates and he had a nice time joining us in our movie. Watching and constant snacking =) I think he also enjoyed spending time with other Circle-Kers at the Walk for Affordable Housing event and he claims that he knows the ____ of BART very well! Later that day, Calvin met some potential Berkeley students at Cal Day and welcomed them warmly (even though he couldn't growl). He was extremely friendly, and they thought he was the cutest, most decorated little bear they have ever seen! Unfortunately, on Sunday, it was back to Calvin's routine of helping me work my way through all my readings. I <3 Calvin!

Okay so first of all let me say that I did not know what Calvin was until I got him! I actually got Calvin late. Calvin stayed home in my dorm all week. I did not feel like bringing Calvin anywhere. We studied, slept together, watched movies and ate inside the dorm. What's funny that my friend came in and was messing with Calvin and got his finger stuck in Calvin's mouth for 10 minutes. He got mad and punished Calvin. Calvin went through some abuse that day but he is much better. 

He currently looks at me with his evil eyes! Swear, this bear is serious business. One day, he'll be a tough guy. but I hate how he's so hard, could Circle K replace him with a teddy bear that looks like Spencer from Wong Fu Productions? =) =D

So... I was SUUUPPEERRR excited to finally meet Calvin. Calvin! He's so cute and very well behaved! After general meeting, I brought him home to meet my own family of bears (teddy, not real! haha) Mama, papa, and baby bear all really enjoyed Calvin's stay and even shared some of their hunnny with him because his tummy growled. Poor Calvin! He must have been really exhausted from all the excitement of the joint board meeting! We both fell asleep soon after because... yeah... food coma, haha.

   The next few days we went to the library a lot to study for my midterms. Calvin seems to be a MCB & Human Repro whiz! He was very supportive!
   After my midterms, Calvin and I went to the Karaoke social on Friday and had a lot of fun. He didn't get to sing though. He's okay.
    We went to the newsletter meeting yesterday and had a lot of fun! He says he wants to be a writer!
    Thanks Calvin for supporting me during my midterms!
