College

Here I am at UCLA, tired like a monkey but still blogging because I want to document my first official day living in college.

I woke up at 6:00 for like no reason. I think it might have been because of the rising sun, but I went to sleep around midnight because I went to Rite-Aid to buy more hangers with Regan. That's strange for my strong circadian rhythm which usually guarantees 7.5 hours. Oh well, I was all chipper. Brushed teeth, said goodbye to the roomie who was off to perform at the football game, then went down and had breakfast alone since Jessica was working. I'm going to start working soon too, hopefully with some common shifts with her. I'll have to get the forms tomorrow... Anyways, I'm really happy with the healthy options of the dining hall. It's strange the effect food can have on your mood in the morning. When I got up, I was actually a little groggy and I had a mini panic attack because I didn't know anybody outside my 4ish MC friends and there are SO many people here, you know? I got kind of depressed. But after breakfast, I felt much better and started saying hi to everybody I ran into. I'm really forcing myself out of my shell, and I think I'm doing a good job. I've met so many new people, and I forget their names after like 15 seconds haha. I was never bad with names, but this is a lot.

After breakfast, I finished setting up my room. Mainly I set up and calibrated my new printer. I was going to set up the TV and Wii, but the power chord isnt' long enough to reach the outlet. Darn. I'll buy a small one so I can start using it and inviting people to play in my room. After that I went to check out the John Wooden Center, which is the largest gym on campus. It was really nice! Three levels. Basketball courts, racquetball courts, free weights, machines, cardio equipment, you name it, it's there. Then I came back and took a shower for the first time. That was interesting. There are small shower stalls with hooks on them, but I was afraid to put my clothes on it because I thought the water from the showerhead would get it wet. I ended up putting my towel over my clothes and hanging it all from the top of the stall. It worked, but I think I'll just buy a bath robe to make things easier for myself. Then it was time for lunch, which I also ate alone because Jessica was busy and Regan went to the football game. I'm glad I decided not to go to the football game today (I had nobody really to go with and I didn't want to latch onto Regan) because we lost pretty badly. After lunch, I took a short nap then met up with Jessica and Kyle outside Covell Commons. There was a football game viewing party so we watched the game there... left early though because it sucked haha. I've never really been into sports. That's the gay stereotype showing itself haha. Sooo after that we decided to see if anybody new moved in our floors. We went to my floor and my nextdoor neighbor, Alex, told me how some creepy socialist guy was handing out pamphlets and newspapers about socialism and how he thought it was funny. We walked down the hall and saw him preying on some poor girls who were just nodding absently at whatever the creepy socialist guy said. Then we went to Jessica's room and chilled there before going to Kyle's room. Guess who was there... the socialist guy! He was talking the ears off of one of Kyle's roommate's friends. Freaky. Then we just chilled there before meeting up with Vasko (sp?) to check out his room in Sproul, the newly renovated hall. It's so nice compared to ours. Whatever though, Dykstra is undisputedly the most social hall. Then dinner... then the soccer game! We got invited to watch by some of my floormates who are on the soccer team. We won! Good game, too. I actually got into it, which is kind of rare for me. Then Regan was hungry so we walked to In-n-Out in Westwood and hung out for a while. Now here I am.

Sorry that wasn't really descriptive towards the end, but I'm really tired and I just wanted to get everything down. The combination of working out, walking everywhere, and never taking the elevator (I'm on the 8th floor!) has really tired me out. That's good though, hopefully it'll get me out of this retarded fitness plateau. Alright I'm out... Night!
