Hello there!!! Okae so I survived my first week alone in my
apartment. Yes, you read it right, my apartment!!!
Hehe Yea-yuh!!! So I’m back @ the ‘vine and I’m loving
every minute of it. =) So, let me update you guys on what
has happened since last weekend:
Sunday: So Sunday was the
big moving-in day. It was absolutely horrible. Ahh!!
Here’s what happened: My mom, brother, and sister came to help me
move in. We got to the leasing office at 9:30am and the freakin’
office wasn’t open yet. I got so annoyed cause on their answering
machine, they said that they were open from 8:30-6:00 Monday thru
Sunday. SUNDAY!! Yea..wrong information. Oh well, so
we ended up eating an early lunch and then headed to Ikea to kill
sometime. Afterward, we got back just in time and I got my key
and moved in all my crap. It was so tiring. OH!
Yea…it’s cuz I live on the third floor…it was a pain in the butt moving
everything up the stairs. Now I know how phase 1 & 2 felt
moving in without an elevator. (YEA! Go Oakenshield, phase
3!!!) Anyhoo, so yea, after moving in all my stuff, we headed
back to Ikea, bought my furniture, and moved it into my apart.
Then, we tried putting my loft bed together…yea…hehe It’s built,
but I’m too afraid to use it. I’m going to have my dad reinforce
it cuz, yea honestly, it doesn’t look safe. Haha So after
the LONG day, my family left and I had the apart. to myself. To
be completely honest, it was so sad and lonely the first
night. I hate how I have a sucky phone plan…NO
free nights or weekends. BLAH!!! Yea…I would call ppl more
often but there’s only 500 mins for all 4 phones in my family. I
can’t wait till I change plans.
Monday: FIRST day of
class. Yea, so it was pretty funny. I went to SSLH and
there was like no one there, well actually there were like 8 of us
total and the professor hasn’t shown up yet. I’m thinking, omg
there’s only 8 ppl in this class?? That can’t be. I waited
for like 30 mins, I was about to bail out when someone came in and said
the class was in SSH. AHH embarrassing. Hehehe
I was so sure I had the right building...=P Yea..well @ least I
wasn’t the only one. So, yea I didn’t miss much though cuz he was
still going over his syllabus when I got in. Class wasn’t bad at
all. OH! And NO MCWEB!!! YAY no electronic hw….whew!
OH!! I ended up seeing Howard and Galaxy in my class. I
didn’t think anyone I knew was taking this class too. Fun stuff!
After class, I didn’t do much, just studied a bit and yea, the
afternoon was pretty boring. I called my good friend Priya and we
talked for a while, and then I called Venice. We ended up hanging
out at Fashion Island and at her apart. We watched Iron Chef…yea
that show is hilarious. Hehe It turns out she lives like
right across from me. YAY!!! Quite exciting.
Tuesday: NO CLASS!!!
Hehe I ended up studying for my placement test on Thursday for
like the whole afternoon…I fell asleep and I got a headache. So I
took a break from studying, and I tried cleaning up around the apart.
and ate dinner, but I still had a headache. I just couldn’t study
anymore, my brain was all fried. So, I called my friend Edwin and
he came over to check out my apart. Then, I went over to his
place. OH man!! His place is huge!! He’s paying waaay
less than I am and he’s getting 3 bedrooms. I only have 2 really
small ones. Poo. Yea..it was really nice seeing him since I
haven’t seen him since we left Oakenshield. =)
Wednesday: Class was
alright. Nothing new there. OH! I was all excited cuz
there was a YFC meeting on Wed. night. So, yea I spent most of
the morning studying. I was trying to cook dinner before I left
for the meeting but my stove and oven wasn’t working!!! I put in
a work order for it. They came on Thursday morning, but they
couldn’t get to the electric breaker…so they couldn’t fix it
then. Anyhoo, I called my friend Claire cause it was her b-day
and we talked for a while. Man…we seriously need to have another
get-together before more people start leaving for school!!!
As I was walking to the meeting, I was walking through Middle Earth,
and man, I got all nostalgic. It was so sad to think that all
these ppl I’ve met last year I probably won’t see again. =(
So many memories @ the dorm….good times! At the meeting, it felt
so great to see so many familiar faces!!!!!!! =D We had an
ice breaker called “human knot”. It was lots of fun…I got buried
in the knot at the beginning…hehe that’s what I get for being so
short. Hehehe The meeting was awesome as always. =)
Thursday: Yea, this day
wasn’t all that exciting. I took my placement test in the
morning. I totally bombed it…=/ Even though I studied,
there’s still a lot I can’t remember. I studied chem. for a while
in the morning and I got to chat on AIM. That was fun…I’ve been
deprived of AIM. I was going to hang out with Helvin but I ended
up getting back to my apart. too late and by the time I’d get to his
place, he would have to leave to meet up with Mattman. Next
time! So yea, for the rest of the afternoon, I spent
the time building my desk. That was fun!! =D Too bad,
I don’t have a chair to use. Hehe After that, I hung out @
Venice’s place and watched this Korean soap opera and Iron Chef.
Fun stuff!! Been deprived of TV too..though I don’t really watch
tv much anymore.
Friday: Today isn’t all
that exciting right now…I’m waiting for my bro. to pick me up. I
shall keep you guys update on more stuff later. As for now….This
is Raissa…over and OUT.
