Redrum Burger

I had a craving for a hamburger this whole week. Today, I finally decided to get a burger. I also decided to go to a burger place that I havent been yet, so Redrum Burger was the choice. Redrum Burger was formerly known as Murder Burger. As you can notice redrum is murder spelled backwards.

Redrum Burger has its own parking lot and its right across from IN-N-OUT Burger. When I walked in I noticed that the place was smaller than I imagined. Also, the place seems like a spot that is popular with families or the older generation. 

You order the burgers by pound here. There's the 1/2, 1/3, annihilator, and a ostrich burger. I ordered the 1/3 pound burger combo.The combo comes with regular fries and a soda. I was going to order a Coke, but they didn't have it, so I chose Sierra Mist. The fries here are different from most other burger places. They didn't peel off all of the potato skin. I like that. I also like that their fries are skinner than most other places. Their condiments and utensil are easily visible and I grabbed a few extra mustard and ketchup.

When I unwrapped the burger, I immediately thought that it was a big size burger. Nonetheless, I ate it and finished the burger in one setting. Oh, and as you can see in the picture there's onions and I don't like onions. I forgot to tell them to not include it, but luckily it doesn't affect the flavor of the burger and I just took it off.

My 1st Visit to the Student Community Center

Patio View from the SCC

The Student Community Center (SCC) opened up in the beginning of this quarter, but I made my first visit to the center today. My classes and the memorial union (MU) are on the other side of campus, so I do not need to go around the area. It's one of the new buildings on my campus that I am quite happy about. I thought this place was going to open after I graduated, but I am glad that it opened up for me to enjoy it for at least two quarters. It also means that The Lounge will be held at the center instead of a classroom building. I think that is more convenient.

There is a lot of important resources for students inside the center. There's the Student Recruitment and Retention Center (SRRC), the Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender Resource Center (LGBTRC), the computer labs, and more study space. I am glad that there are more study spaces. I think that is definitely needed. I also noticed some meetings rooms and a multi-purpose room.

Patio view of campus

I really like that this building has a patio. I think I am going to try to eat some of my meals there, so I can look at the sight too and less people will be around. That reminds me actually, I think the MU has a patio, but I havent ate there either. I guess that's one another thing I would have to do before I graduate.

Study Abroad Potluck Reunion

I had a potluck reunion for my 2010 study abroad group in Hangzhou, China yesterday. I planned the event, but I was more excited to see those familiar faces again. A couple of hours before the event I had no idea what I would bring or if I would make anything. I decided to go to the supermarket to see what they have. When I first walked in I noticed the bakery items; then, the hot foods that are ready to eat, and then chips and candy. I walked around for a bit. I was so close to buying the marinated chicken since all I would have to do is turn them around until they are done.Then, I had the idea of making spaghetti. I dont know how to make a lot of food actually, but spaghetti is something me and most of my family members knows how to make. I did not know how much of the spaghetti people were going to eat, but I bought one of those party trays. I bought double of everything except for the ground beef, but after I made the dish I realized that I should have bought another one of that too. After I finished making the dish I had to quickly get ready to pick up three other people. However, one of them didnt need a ride there, but only back. After I finished picking up the two people, I received a phone call and was going to ignore it because I was driving. But, I told one of my friends to answer the phone and it turns out that someone needs a ride in Sacramento.

When we arrived at Professor Burnett's place.Three of the other students were there and didnt start eating yet. Soon, the other guest arrived and we began eating. While we ate we caught up with each other. It was nice actually. I enjoyed some of the food that the others brought. For dessert, someone brought apple pie, but I am actually not a fan of fruit pies, so I did not want to eat anyone of the pie. Before we left, we helped Professor Burnett with cleaning up a bit. I got someone to bring home the tray of spaghetti I made. We also had a group hug before everyone left!

When I was taking a few of my classmate back home we had a pretty interesting conversation. I also visited one of their apartments and tried out the "game chair". The "game chair" is this chair in which you sit and you could feel the vibe of it through the chair. Its nice because it can feel like a massage and goes with the beats of the song.
