College Experience

I am finally experiencing being thrown into a place where you know nobody. It was totally different back in UCSD, I had too many people from Lowell go with me, so I didn't really make too many friends. Since everyone didn't really know anybody, we just kept introducing ourselves to each other. I remember some names with faces and exchanged phone numbers with a few people. Everybody is desperate to make friends and form groups and I'm trying to decide what kind of group I want to join: heavy party goers, moderate ones, or party poopers? I think I'll try for mainly the first two :P.

Last night I left the window open thinking it would be okay since I'm on the 13th floor but a mosquito had a feast on my arms: 4 on my left forearm and 3 on my right forearm. I guess I'm lucky i didn't get bitten on my face but the antihistamines (Benedryl) made me so drowsy during all the orientation today. The only advice I took from it was basically to have fun and don't study too much. I'll keep that in mind :)

Phrases I learned from my British roommate Denise:

1) pop-to-the-loo = going to the toilet

2) fizzy drink = soda

PS. mini rant about China:

-Crocs are in (flats style and more)

-buckets on buses (Shanghai) just for little kids to do their business on the bus cuz they can't hold it in
