We found out why they told us not to put our fridge setting so high...


Last night, I was going to make some eggs for my dinner. I looked into the egg carton and found two cracked eggs. My first thought was "OH SHIT!". I reached in to grab them, but one of the eggs was actually STUCK to the carton, so I had to cut a hole around it.

With the two eggs and the rest of my cooking supplies, I left for the kitchen. While the pan was heating up, I decided to peel off the carton remnants off that one egg. As I did so, part of the shell came off.

When I saw the yolk I'd thought that there was still that thin layer surrounding the inner egg, but then realize.. "oh my god.. it's frozen..."

I took the other egg and attempted to crack it in half. Turns out, that one was frozen too!


I've never had a frozen egg before...

So day 4 and 5 of college, we learned that it's seriously a small world. I met a few people, first years and orientation leaders, who lived near us.

I found out that the leaders are really fascinated about how my roomie and I knew each other since elementary and have so much in common.

If i ever felt any doubts about this school... it's all gone just by meeting with the leaders. They are amazing.


I recommend anyone who havent gone through college orientation to chat up with your orientation leader(s).



aaaandd... yes that's it. I dont feel like retelling the whole day like I did with the past 3 days blog. Tomorrow's the last day of orientation then I'm free for the weekend and school finally starts. I'm actually pretty excited.

[[[[ -- Day 3 -- ]]]]
My parents came down to visit today. They told me they were going to be here at 10am so we could hang for a while before I had to kick them off. It ended up that they didnt WAKE UP until 10 thus didnt get up here until 11. Within the hour, I gave them a short tour of our room and lounge, then went to a nearby restaurant to order to-go.

At 12 was the day-long project of basically exploring. Spent an hour researching places to go and planning the road trip... we decided on three spots to hit. In the end, we ended up hitting only one spot and just spent a couple hours browsing the place. A CD/music store... that's where we went. Now, I'm not a fan on buying music AT ALL. I tend to get mine in a different fashion that doesn't require stacks of CD's. But at least they had a bookstore down the road.

Yes, I like bookstores more than music stores.

Afterward, we took the BART to a park in SF for dinner to find out that since we were the last group there, all the food were gone. Therefore came back empty stomached.

So now.. sitting in room... typing this up... eating food... mmhm.. I should go buy some games from gamestop. =____="


[[[[ -- Day 2 -- ]]]]
We made pasta for lunch!!! It was good.
I got my schedule fixed without having to go through the super long portfolio review; I dropped painting and took textiles instead. Did you know that I dont like painting at all? I hate it with a passion... even though I still do it.
Our faculty's awesome, especially the one who changed my schedule around. He gave me an A+ for looking up class schedules beforehand.

Our trip to Goodwill/IKEA was interesting. Though we happened to get stuck in the one bus that got lost... and couldn't find a way into the parking lot of IKEA made for trucks/buses.

Three of our RAs made pancakes for dinner for anyone who wanted any. YUMMY. The super long line was definitely worth it. Though they did doodle on them with food coloring...


[[[[ -- Day 1 -- ]]]]
I gotta say that I was pretty nervous during the drive up to Oakland, but once I got there, I got pretty excited. The dorm room is pretty nice. The desk is partially magnetic!!! which is awesome. We've got bunk bends and I ended up on the top bunk... I actually like bunk beds, but this one doesnt have railings, so I'm scared of falling off... >.<

The people here are great. The RA's told us that we're encouraged to "explore" (coughdrugsrinkingcough) as long as it's not on campus.

We actually met an elementary friend during the residential meeting. Surprising. Entertaining. Absolutely crazy.

We've actually found a lot of downtime where we just sat in our room doing nothing. Boring... Yeah, I know we should go out and mingle, but my roomie isnt a social type person and I'm not usually my hyper self without someone else with me.

Our suite mates are actually pretty cool, cept for the fact that we got lock out of the bathroom on the first day ^^".



I am going to detest stairs by the end of the year.

A week before moving into to college and my dad's already trying to stress me out unintentionally. I hate it.

Tomorrow's my driving test too. I passed it

I'm feeling like everyone's thinking I'm so incompetent and it's pissing me off.



I tear easy when I feel like that.
Then they call me a crybaby who gives in too easily.

Sorry, just had to get that out somehow. Nobody's currently here or online for me to rant to. No comments are needed or necessary. I don't need anyone giving me pity comments.

I cant believe my first day at college is only 10 days away!!
Well, actually it's 18 days until class starts, but I'm counting move-in and orientation week. I'm pretty excited to see how different it's going to be and finally move out of my cluttered-beyond-imaginable room.

I've also found a new love for fabric painting. A couple weeks ago, I bought a yard of fabric (not sure what kind this is..) to test paint on. It turns out that I can paint and blend a lot easier than canvas fabric.

Now I just wanna try out textile paint...


--

And for future and anyone else's reference, Prismacolor's "permanent" pens... aren't very permanent on fabric.
