| Time for a nice long entry about how college has been going so far, right?
Deep breath. Here we go.
[ NRO ]: New resident orientation was the best weekend of college I'm going to have and I know it. It's like camp because you don't have any work. Then Monday rolled around and it was suck, but we'll get to that later.
Linda and I matched, roomie love! Move-in weekend was so freaking hot. There's no AC in our rooms, either, so it was near-impossible to fall asleep. We had glow-in-the-dark stars on our ceiling, but that didn't help us sleep much. <sigh>
Rudely awakened at 5 in the morning by construction. We basically found everyone from Hebron after Freshman Welcome and we went down to Terp Zone. Met Molly and Richard at Terp Zone, and then we went to the RHA dance where I got party-boy-ed. (Traumatic, yes.)
Um... sometime during the following 2 days, I watched Up, went to Wasabi Bistro with Liz, Linda, and Richard, and... was out until 3 AM. Crazy. [ Fall 2v2 Battle ]: I know I haven't gotten the footage all up yet (soon-ish I promise I hope?) but I did have a really great time at the battle. It was also nice to see people like David, Goof, Dmoe, Cong, Sherwin, Thuta, and finally meet Jhovi! It was a good time, and if I didn't desperately have to study, I would've stayed all the way through. I'll try to have the rest of the footage up eventually. I had a horrible vantage point, and I realized that while I was filming the first battle, but oh well. It was win (even if I missed the Gamblerz and Kaba Modern).
[ Obama Rally ]: I got to see President Obama at the healthcare rally! Linda and I left the dorm at 5 to go see him and we were able to sit in the very front row on his left (people who got in earlier were behind him). Molly and Jenn slept over but decided not to get out of bed. Lame. Sitting front row, you'd think we'd have this awesome view. But people paid to stand on the floor, including this fat guy who almost sat on my face. Linda saved my life and I am eternally grateful. Obama is, as always, good at speeches, but he didn't really tell us how we were going to pay for the public option, only how we weren't going to? That's nice, too. Obama got everyone "Fired up! Ready to go!" being the charismatic orator he is, but just like during his campaign, his words lacked substance. Oh well. It was an awesome experience regardless. 
(We left before the sun rose.)
(President Obama & his hardcore Secret Service agent.)
[ Russell Peters & Kevin Nealon ]: It was so amazing to see these two in person. Kevin Nealon opened our homecoming comedy show, and he was really really funny. Then Russell Peters came out and it was freaking great. He either didn't have any new [East] Asian material or he was scared of how many of us there were, because he didn't really make any [East] Asian or Chinese jokes. He had fun with the ASL interpreter though. Ahahaha. (P.S. Guys, I want to find this nightclub. Bomb shelter? Let's do it.) [ Crab Fest ]: Didn't compare to Senior Crab Feast, but I ate quite a bit. Here's the casuality list: - 4 crabs
- 2 chicken wings
- 2 servings of chicken breast
- 2 servings of potato salad
- 1 corn on the cob
- 1 corn muffin
- 1 bowl of Maryland crab soup
- 1 piece of chocolate cake
- 1 can of lemonade
Omnomnomnomnom. I am such a fatty. ^^ Oh right, classes. - Orgo = death. Pure d34th.
- Orgo lab = manageable.
- Psych stats = mundane but necessary for my major.
- Abnormal psych = interesting subject, boring lecture taught by my boss who works with my dad...
- Gender & media = really great course with a great professor.
- Global film = great course with fun professor also.
- Honors 100 = so unncessary.
