Hello, world!

I am now a resident of UC Merced!  It was a really weird experience because I imagined waltzing in and being super excited to meet everyone.  Instead, because there was a 20-minute unloading time limit, it was super rush-rush "AHH GET IT ALL OUT OF THE CARRRR!"  :O

My parents and I had lunch at KFC (XD) and then they took me back to my dorm.. AND LEFT!!!  SNAP!!  AHH!

I started mingling with four of my suitemates (one went swimming) and we hung out a lot!    Yay!  The assembly was super boring but well-intentioned.  Lol.

But after the assembly was pretty bomb.  (yes, new slang!)  My suitemates and I swung by the block party, where we met our neighbors!  :O  We chatted a bit until we went to their suite to watch Demitri Martin, then we headed to Yosemite Lake for a First Day of College Adventure. 

Although the park was closed ("orite, these things close after sunset"), we found a place to lie down and stargaze.

And I have to admit, as much as I've ripped on how small and unnerving UC Merced is, I have to say that the stars there are quite a sight.  Since the university is so far from town, I was able to see all the stars I've never been able to see in all my life in big towns like San Jose and Sacramento.  It was my first time seeing the Big Dipper and Orion's Belt!    kewl beans!

OKAY TIME TO SHOWER COS I'M ALL HOT AND GROSS COS THE A/C IS BROKEN

bye for now!
