california time

soooo things are going pretty well i suppose
i love this keyboard...it allows me to type ridiculously fast since it does not stick at ALL
amazering
of course this means that my fingers get ahead of themselves and i have quite a few typos hahahahahaha
so yeah...my dorm is cool. i was really really excruciatingly bored the other day...and yesterday...i mean there really is not much to do. i went and got my id early so i can go to the fitness center and stuff. i have lunch at the cafe since the dining hall doesn't open until tonite...
blah
food isn't too bad so far
its' definitely really really easy to eat like absolute crap tho...so i have to watch it extra. today i'm doing good
my roommate showed up last night. she seems really nice. cute girl from san diego. freshie. awww. her mentor (mom-type mentor?? i dunno exactly what the deal is) took us both out to this kickin' mexican restaurant that's been there since 1946...on a lake...yum yum. i had a beef enchilada...really tasty food...gosh i would go there everyday if i wouldn't gain a THOUSAND pounds doing it haha
hmmmm what else...
i checked out more of the library today...so that is cool. nice to check my e-mail!! yes!! ;D
oh and last night i met my RA and some other people. they were making signs in the hallway. we inspected the showers which was really amusing cuz it was me, Hien (f), Joyce, and Colin (definitely m) in the girl's bathroom on our floor lamenting the handicapped shower (which really isn't that bad. Hien was daring Joyce to use it...she said she would.) The best shower tho...is not the one with the bathtub, nor is it the handicapped one (with the bench), it is the super one with the anteroom with hooks and a shelf for your stuff...YES! and a lock on the door lol instead of just a flimsy curtin.
there is lots of a/c which kinda bites because it gets really nice and cool at night so it's ridiculously freezing in our rooms
errr so tonite there is a party :D
and tomorrow i finally start orientation
yay!
apart from that...yeah i worked out yesterday and today...good times...haven't been to the pool yet but the cross-trainers are good.
i guess i can't really think of anything else...to say...
oh...
my flights were fine :D
the one to phoenix was louder cuz there was a just about toddler aged kid behind me whose mom kept playing with him so he was noisy...but to sacramento i think it was the quietest flight ever
then the shuttle was cool. one of the guys was actually from kenosha and the driver was born in japan so we all talked and stuff. pretty fun.
everything is good; i just wish i knew what classes i was going to be taking V_V
lol
i picked some out...loitered at the bookstore checking out all the stuff they have...
they use nakama textbooks here!! lol
which is good i guess (variety and themed chapters! alright!) but i'm worried about testing : /
>_<
also instead of 3 credits a class it's 4 "units" a class...which is really annoying since the limit is still 18 that means that here i can take only 4 classes (and waste two credits? i need to talk to someone lol) whereas at mke i could take 6 @_@
anyhow if i don't have to take a mentor class or they think it would be a waste of time (i dunno...it's a gen ed thing for freshies...but it might still be good...) i'm planning on taking japanese, modern japanese lit, asian history i, and maybe intro to philosophy...i'm not really sure tho. i wanted to take science of nutrition but that's during japanese 3 which is the one i had better test into : /
i dunno
there is tons of stuff unfortunately it all seems to be at the same time
oh welllll
i'll get an advisor soon hopefully...so then i will be able to figure it out better...
i need some boring meetings to go to!!! lol

Hope you enjoy the school year. As an old Asian Studies major - though I was a Chinese history/religion guy - I like your proposed schedule. My only thought is to take one or two requirements at least. You may now want to now, but you will want to even less in your last year. Cheers.

This is true but when there are only four slots it gets a little cramped...I'm kinda hoping to score some summer school or something to help with geds...

As they say on some beer commercial: Summer school, GEDs - Brilliant!
