Move In Day

On Saturday morning around 9 a.m., I left home and hit the road around 10:00 a.m. My two uncles and one aunt came to join my sister, my mom, and me to San Jose. I slept most of the way to San Jose since the trip itself was a 6-8 hour drive. Besides, what else can you do if you're stuck in a car with a Chinese speaking family. I couldn't read since all my books were packed. It wasn't until the last hour that I decided to stay away and talk with my family. Throughout the conversations, I made last minute promises and confessions.

We arrive at the university at 5:30 p.m. just in time to move in since the closing time was 6:00.

I came thinking that I would live on the 10th floor, but a change of plans were made. I would now live on the 12th floor which is the very top floor of my building.

The first thing I noticed when I walked on the 12th floor was that it was a little hot in the room. The floor was empty since I was moving in a day earlier than my scheduled move in date. I came in to my room not knowing what it would look like.

 Here's front entrance to my room. (Postmarked 8/23/10)

I immediately dropped off and move everything into my dorm. I didn't unpack everything just in case if my roommate wanted to change beds or desks.

My family and I scanned the room for any damages. I was given a paper to document any noticeable damages.

After scanning, I decided to go with my family to San Francisco just for the sake one last family time before college.

We left the campus around 6:30 to go back to the hotel and look around the area for Chinese food. We ate and then we went back to the hotel to play with my cousin and my niece Sienna.
