Had my first day of classes. Geeze, getting to class is like going hiking on a nature walk each and every time. Had 5 classes back to back with only a 20 min break. Went to 2 math classes because I didn't know which one to enroll in.
8:00 Chemistry
9:30 Precalculus
11:00 International & Global Perspectives
12:30 Calculus
2:00 Chemistry Lab
I hate chem lab.
My precalc teacher is this young guy that has an adorable accent. At first I thought he was an upperclassman or a t.a. until he started talking about the syllabus. He was hard to understand sometimes but his foreignness was really funny. He had a couple sentence errors on the blackboard and when someone corrected him he was all "Well I am a varee sorry, you see there are 300 ov you and a only 1 ov me, and I only have a 2 eyeballz and you have a 600 eyeballs looking, you see it is varee hard to talk and to a write at d same time."
My calculus teacher was not so cute. He had a really high-pitch voice and wore a HAIRPIECE Donald Trump would envy. He said a lot of interesting things though. The word calculus comes from the greek root meaning stone, two people not just Newton are credited with inventing Calc, and the height of a tennis ball container is shorter in lenght compared to the circumference of its cap although it appears otherwise. But then he started talking about Paradoxes and limits and I got sleepy listening to his voice.
Which math class to enroll in?
Hmm...
Had to say goodbye to lots of San Francisco people going home for the weekend. I wish San Diego was only an hour away, Santa Cruz is far away, but I like it here.
What's wrong with me? Allergies acting up again. I'm getting watery eyes, and a runny nose. A couple days ago my nose started bleeding while I was just sitting down doing nothing. I got a charlie horse in my calf in the middle of the night and I felt like I was gonna be paralyzed. Even my ass hurts. But tonight even though I was exhausted I went to a night hike with my building mates, walking around aimlessly in the dark with nothing but a glow stick and each other.
To Do List:
*OooO I want to decorate my room with christmas lights to prettify it.
*Get a microwave for instant noodles.
*Learn how to ride the metro.
*Join the fencing club.
*Buy DVD's and organize movie night in Krissia's room.
Some people invited me to this dance at another area of the campus. I was gonna go, but then I knew it would've been lame. No one dances @ santa cruz, unless ur a minority or it's to reggae. There was this dance and music festival called slugfest where the DJ played hip hop and club songs and barely anyone danced. People just watched the few that did. Wallflowers.
Certainly is different here. Guys making out. Girls with hairy legs and armpits. Tie Dye tank tops. No Bra wearing. Vote for Kerry and Defeat Bush posters everywhere with a few Nadar ones mixed in. I miss SoCal.
While someone was getting arrested outside my dorm building, this one guy started playing the COPS theme. Comedy.
p.s. I saw Nicole Lewis dancing @ slugfest to Usher. Yeah.
