Settling in....but not quite

So it's been about 3 weeks that I've been school in now?

Well however long enough, I feel like I've set up myself with a schedule that I like a lot. I got classes Monday thru Thursday all in the morning. I'm always free after 1:15 p.m. on both Monday and Wednesday which gives me the whole rest of the day to do stuff that interests me or to take care of things for college. And for Tuesday and Thursday, I'm mostly free after 3:00 p.m.

As for now, I'm taking 3 Anthropology classes in a row. I'm taking two classes from the same professor which will give me an advantage of getting to know her better. Whooot! Letters of recommendation! The other Anthropology teacher is awesome. Basically I love all my Anthropology classes.

I have a huge gap between my Tuesday and Thursday classes. One class starts at 9:00 and ends at 10:15. I haven't been in such a boring class in a long time. The class is music appreciation. How ironic, it's make me dislike it. -___- I have nothing against the music, but the teacher goes off on tangents and doesn't know how to explain music properly. Well I have to take it for a general ed. requirement. Oh well. It's only 1 semester. But the other class is English which I absolutely love and adore. It starts at like 1:30 p.m. and ends at 2:45 p.m. Notice the huge gap in between? I was thinking about adding a class, but I couldn't get it. My teacher is so helpful and so amazing. She sincerely wants to my classmates and me to reach a higher level of writing. I honestly can't wait till that day or time where I'll be able to do that.

It's one my greatest desires to be prolific writer one day who can string words together like nothing while being simple yet articulate.


So that's my classes for me. What do I do in between? I usually go check out basically every club or set up counseling appointments or go workout or go to Triathlons practice or eat or go to the library to do homework or read or write. Basically, I'm always doing something and that's the one thing I love about college. I have a lot of freedom, but it's not like I can do whatever I want. I just have more choices to choose from and do.

I have yet to go exploring and I FINALLY BOUGHT A LONGBOARD! I'll be getting it next week. Super stoked about it. I'm gonna join the longboard team here. We're gonna go out late at night, go to garages, and kick it. Literally. :D HEEEEEEEEEELLLLLLL YEAH! There's a guy on the team with like neon lights underneath his board. It's preeeettty legit. :O And since it's late at night, it's even cooler.

No major parties yet. Eh...not sure if I'm gonna get into that. Maybe not yet. I wanna get focused first and get a good feel first of how college works first and then have fun.

But in the end, I still think about why I'm here at college and what I'm trying to get out of it. I'm still dreaming of things that I haven't gotten yet or achieved yet. They're the reasons why I'm here. As of right now, I'm still dreaming.

Pictures to come. San Jose is beautiful and friggin amazing.

The First Week

So after spending some quality time with the family on Saturday and Sunday, I went to my dorm on Monday morning around 11 a.m.

My roommate who I didn't meet yet wasn't there. So I kind of lounged around and decided to get to go out and meet some people. I met a couple of guys across the halls and in my dorm after going out. Pretty cool guys. I looked at the program the school gave us and decided to go to a couple of welcoming events to meet some other people with a floormate.

We kind of just started to get to talk and get to know each better. I hung out with them for the first couple of days and started to hang out with people I met Orientation. Later that night, I had to go to Target to get some stuff for the room. San Jose set up this exclusive event for its students which was pretty cool. It was pretty fun. Got some coupons for some stuff and free stuff. :D

The following day, I just basically walked around campus to check out some college workshops and clubs, get some academic counseling, hang out with some friends. Basically, it was all so hectic, going from one place to another and climbing 12 flights of stairs to get my room because the elevator takes way too long. Eating at the amazing cafeteria cause I can get unlimited pizza, jamba juice, coffee whenever I want it and however I want it. (: Thaaaat's right. Take that suckas.




But for the past week, it's been ridiculously hot. My window is open 24/7. Notice how I sleep right next to the window? It has a nice view and everything, but the one thing that freaks me out is that if I ever push the screen and fall out, I'mma fall down 12 stories down to my death. Remember, the window is open 24/7. I move in my sleep too. So if I don't ever respond back or pick up up my cell, you probably know why. :D

But that's pretty much all for now. It's just time to explore the campus and among so many other things.
