yea, i've been thinking about my preconceptions of college b4 i came. a lot of what i thought was true, but at the same time, a lot was different. for example, i thought every1 would be so friggin smart and crazy nerds. which they are. there's some crazy math ppl, cs ppl, etc. they are seriously so awesomely smart it's amazing. there's this 1 girl on my floor that on the day of her prom, she went to a MATH TOURNAMENT and had 10 minutes to get ready 4 her own prom. ok, i think that's crazy. and some ppl here, they seem to never be doing work. but turns out they've already FINISHED. craziness. another 1 of my thoughts would b that the goodlookingness factor here would be quite quite low. i wasnt exactly pleasantly suprised, but it turned out slightly better than expected. there's definitely better looking girls here than guys tho. hmm..maybe i should turn lesbian. hehehe jp! so for u guys out there, maybe u should apply! another 1 of my thoughts was that every1 would dress like crap to class. like me. hahaha but that's untrue. i'd say a good 10% of the ppl here dress up for class. i'm talking skirts, shirts that need ironing, heels, etc. i guess i was just used to ppl from other college ppl telling me that no1 dresses up. i guess it depends by school. cuz bryan says @ penn some ppl dress up. i feel quite underdressed here. i feel like a huge scrub. which i am. but come on, who am i trying 2 impress? on those days when i feel ugly, i might put on a nicer shirt or something. in the meantime, i just wear shiznity-clothes. comfort is key, right?
and u know how in houston there's all that thrift shop stuff going on? i dont see much of that here. none of that WOW I GOT THIS SHIRT FOR 25 CENTS pride. i kinda miss that. i never got to go to value village though. boo!
what i actually kinda miss is giving/recieving hugs. u guys know me. i'm quite the touchy, huggy person. there's no ann chin here for me to hug everyday, no "patty puff" for me to skip up and down the halls with. there are no halls, for that matter. there's no koller for me to hit and to tease, no more "YOU HO!" business going on. i think i miss that more than anything else, u know? cuz that's kinda part of my personality. a part of me that i'm keeping kinda...what's the word...dormant. i'm not gonna go around hugging random ppl i just met, right? i'm still hyper, still weird, but at the same time, i still dont feel completely at ease around these new ppl. dont get me wrong, i enjoy their company. but...it's hard 2 explain. and yes, pat and kunal. dont worri, i'm taking your advice. u guys are just watching out 4 me, and i'm actually taking your words to heart. i think i've been doing a good job so far.
oo! guess what? i played pool. ahh! noo, right? there's like pool tables everywhere. i'm still pretty bad. first time playing yesterday. i still remember when ann and i tried playing @ dana's house, and we couldnt finish the game cuz we both sucked. haha thomas and koller had to finish 4 us. but I won! BOOYA! hehe. i have a feeling i'm gonna start playing here more. i doubt i'll ever be up to the greatness of dana(impossible), but a girl can have a role model, right? ;) i think i'm babbling on again. alright, enuf of that.
btw, u guys all need to get webcams! LATERS!!!
