College Day 1 of Many

First day at UCSD. Finally saw in person my room mate Kevin Park whom I've emailed but never seen. Strange saying good bye to my parents. Mum made my bed for me :) she is nice. Kevin's mum was at work and I had to make his bed for him. He and Steven Buell's room mate do not know how to make a bed. Somehow they've never had a chance to learn how. And to them, the concept of having two components to "sheets" is foreign. Why do you put a sheet on the mattress and then put another redundant sheet on top of that? Well this way you don't have to wash your blanket (which goes on top of the sheets), you see? So we got set up and went to eat at the Revelle cafeteria. Nachos, beans, pasta... didn't know I paid for everything individually - thought the sides came with the pasta but nope! First meal cost $9. That's a lot, but I think I'm fortunate enough to be covered. No one else in our fleet arrived today except David Fitz who came at 4pm (I came at 9am). So our hall is pretty empty right now. But Steven arrived today too and all his fleetmates are here, so I partied with them for a few minutes. Found Lauren Waggoner (also from Foothill) too, and we all hung out. Lauren, Steven, Kevin Park and I just went to dinner at the cafeteria then checked out the adjacent store. Backing up.... Kevin Park, Steven and I were wandering around to find our classes, and we found some of them until Steven went to pick up his books and Kevin and I got distracted and checked out the Giesel Library. Went to the top floor and saw the view, then I went to the almost underground floor and messed with the computers. So yeah. I will be getting to know more people for sure, but today I just caught up with my Foothill chums. Steven's room mate Zachary Lee is awesome. Major is Chemistry but he knows some C++ and he's super nerdy and chill. Met my room advisor Elyse. She's fun. Well I'm almost all set up. Got to find out when the running club called Strides will run tomorrow. I'm having a great time, but I am trying my best to stick with a normal schedule. I have found that I a much easier time meeting people than I originally thought. Only problem is I will have to meet everyone all over again tomorrow because I don't remember anyone's name. Kevin Park doesn't to be adjusting as easily as I am though. I know 2 Revellians from Foothill - Kevin has no one, so he is not to blame. So much to do, so much going on... why can't I be awake every hour of every day? Missing out on almost everything is inevitable. But don't think of it that way. Well...here I am! Not going anywhere. I feel comfortable already. Only nervous about difficulty of classes. Got my textbooks by the way. Kay I'm going to go now bye.
