Warning:
Excuse the rambling. This is just a post to update on my current life, so it's extremely unorganized.
And so I've survived my first week. Everyone has been asking me how I like Berkeley...and my answer? I love it. :) Obviously there are basic reasons like meeting so many new people, making new friends, awesome roommates, food, activities/events (free stuff), etc. But best of all, I think, is this new freedom which I have been given. When people say that you have nearly no constraints in college, they aren't lying at all. Sure there are rules. But in college no one is watching you that closely, so technically speaking you can break whatever you like as long as nobody catches you.
Classes on the other hand...): darn, they seem hard. The sizes are huge and desks are tiny and its kinda cramped, but it's not unbearable or too bad. In fact, at some point you start thinking that it's rather cool since there's wifi and if you fall asleep, nobody really cares. Discussions help a lot too since they're basically high school class sizes. I'm trying to not bring my computer cause I'll prolly get distracted. Instead, I've been listening to my I-touch in class if I get bored..which is still pretty bad. >_> Leseeeeeeeee. For subjects, I liked Nutri Sci a lot. Math is good only for now cause we're on chapter 0; we spent a whole hour on the quadratic formula last Friday. Asian Studies is semi-boring right now, but I'm hoping it'll get better. I'm dropping sociology so yay screw that class. Edu. 98 is pretty chill and easy...but it's way too long in my opinion. And last but not least, ethnic studies is interesting...but I can't understand anything the professor, says thanks to his ridiculously thick accent.
I'm glad to say that I'm beginning to recognize my way around where I live...which is a huge relief because I got so lost the first few days. I've discovered so many places to eat here...it's crazy. The other day I had korean style shaved ice...omgosh it was super good. All this delicious food is helping me gain weight...but thank goodness I have to walk so much everyday to get from place to place, which gives me exercise! :D Hopefully that freshman 15 won't be happening.
Nevertheless, it's official. I think college is much much much better than high school.
