  • Today was a pretty good day. I was supposed to wake up, go to tennis practice, then do comp sci hw. I did NONE of that (well except wake up). Oh, btw, i did laundry today, and its like the first time i used a dryer before. I am really paranoid that my clothes all shrunk because they look incredibly small afterward. Then the pants that were too long for me suddenly fit me perfectly. I dunno if its true, or if im just mistakening it...

    ANYWAYS! Wilson called me today asking if i wanted to eat lunch with some people. I ate at Thai Basil with Wilson and Tiffany, who are Milton's friends from Lowell. Pad Thai and Quickleys ^__^.

    Then we went back to Wilson's room and talked for a bit, then decided to play card games in the laundry room with two more people, Yang and Matt. I learned how to play shithead. That game is hecka fun! We also played spoons and Egyptian War. We basically played for like 3 hours before we got tired. Uhmm.... then Tiffany left and i ended up playing Halo 3 with Yang and Wilson. I can't believed i never played this game at Tony's house....

    Uhh then we went to dinner and now i'm back here. I really should start my hw...

  • After today's comp sci lecture, i feel a lot better. Someone asked him a question like, "If i don't understand the hw, should i transfer out." He basically said (not his real words), "If you don't struggle or get frustrated with the hw, get the fuck out of this class! You don't belong here!" Hahaha hes so funny. I would love this class if i didn't get so frustrated over it.

    My math class is horrible. To those who had Bale, i think she did a better job of teaching than my professor. He seriously said, "For a real life example of limits, lets say, this ant is moving towards the tree at a rate of s(t)..." I was like wow.... are you fucking serious...

    The food here is nasty.

    I'm waiting for something life changing.

  • I have been working on comp sci since 12:30 today, and i am barely done with my hw and i still don't get the material. I have never had a class with as steep a learning curve as this one. I FUCKING hate comp sci.

  • Honestly, i don't really know why i complain about Cal so much. Theres isn't really a big issue (except comp sci). I think i'm just over exaggerating everything, but i do have a lot to complain about surprisingly. Nothing is really too much. I think i just have issues. It seems like in the past two weeks, i can't properly express myself. I'm not sure what i like, what i hate, what bothers me, and what doesn't. I should be more optomistic about my time at Cal. If i don't, i will think back to this time in the future and regret everything that i've done.

    Theres two things that would make me very happy at this point with Cal. First is being able to understand comp sci. Currently, i'm really trying my hardest to understand the material. Never have i been as stuck as i am now with a class than now. Oh well, my GSI said everything will clear up in 2-3 weeks, so hopefully hes right. Second would be meeting a friend i can actaully call a good friend. Someone to talk to, someone to hang out with. I've "met" a lot of people, but i doubt i'm ever going to see them again or hang out with them. I just want a long term friend.

    I really need to make the most out of my experience.

    On a good note, i went home for two days this weekend. I played tennis on Saturday with Christine, Norman, and Anderson. Then i played tennis today with Chapin, Juice, and David. We played a set (Me/Juice vs. Chap/David), where we won 6-3, 3-6, 10-4 or something like that. It was the first tennis match i've played in about 3 months, so it was pretty fun. I also ate my first meal at Ikea, eating chicken fingers and fries hahah. I think i'm going home again in about 2 weeks. That should be cool.

  • First 6 hour day of classes!
    First time i took a shit since i came here (Last Saturday) (Yeah i knoe, nasty!)
    First time i ate breakfast at 5 pm and is still currently the only meal i ate all day.
    First time i did laundry in dorms ($3 for washer and dryer combined)

    Today was very very hot. Anthro seems like an interesting class. She played some youtube videos of songs
    (Kanye West, Rihanna, T.I.) and of skits (of Dave Chappelle). Although i read she can be really disorganized. Meh. I ABSOLUTELY HATE Comp sci. I did not understand anything they did in the lab today. Horrible experience. Physics was meh. I dont like my gsi for math. Golden Bear Cafe's Crispy Chicken deli sandwich is delicious.
