College Life Begins!

Finally, college life officially begins. Today is the day when I first go to class. It is currently 9:03 AM in the morning, and my class will begin at 10:00AM. I am lucky to even have such a late schedule. I woke up at 7:30 however, to eat breakfast and refresh myself before going to my first class, which is Math 16A.

The past few days have been really busy, with events organized by clubs that are hoping for you to join. Socializing seems to be quite common here in Berkeley, because one-fourth of the students are newcomers looking for a inner circle of friends. I, myself, have met quite an abundant amount of people. Sadly, when meeting these new students, I find myself forgetting their names almost immediately. Faces are much more recognizable. People at Berkeley are very social, and are very well mannered. They have great tolerance and one can easily keep a conversation with them.

What I'm most worried about right now is the men's chorale auditions taking place this afternoon. I do not know what music piece to sing, nor what they are expecting. I am music illiterate, and I tend to do worse under an audience. I am crossing my fingers and hoping that I would make it.

My parents have been calling me alot, perhaps three times a day. I do miss them, but there are alot of events going on at Berkeley. It is really hard to even be at my dorm before 11PM. I miss everyone in Rosemead, but I don't really have the time to contact them or anything. It's hard to open up time for such things as that, though I know I should. On occasion, however, I have had friends text me, asking how I am and everything. Its great to get those texts, despite the little responses that I text back with.

Anyhow, Berkeley is indeed a refreshing and beautiful campus filled with life. I wouldn't be surprised if I end up whining when Thanksgiving or Christmas comes around. Then again, I do that when I go from Rosemead to Berkeley as well. Anyhow, classes begin soon, so I will end my blog now.
