So, today, I signed up for the Chinese Students Association at the little table they have on the main drag of the Berkeley campus. One of the girls at the table asked me, "So, why are you interested in the club,"

"Oh, I'm interested in Chinese culture and language."

{Can you speak Chinese?}

{I can speak a little bit.}

{Oh! He has a mainland accent!} This was followed by a good deal of talk about my accent, before finally deciding that it is a northern accent.

Dude. I have an accent.

I first misread this as the "Cheese Students Association". I pictured a table full of little cubes of cheese, perhaps right next to the "Wine Students Association", and then thought, "only at Berkeley."
