Sirenia:::Nine Destinies and a Downfall |
] |
I realize I am actually sort of/pretty much discontent here at UCSD.
Like Lena once mentioned, if we had only worked a little bit harder, we (maybe) would be at Berkeley right now.
Fucking hell.
I sleep too late. Well, not that late compared to Erik's insomnia and clocking in at 6(am).
It just get later and later (I don't like to see sleeping late as 'bad' or 'worse'). Senior year I went to bed like at 2:30/3, then in the summer around 3/3:30, and now I've been going to bed around 4. But on MWF my first class is at 11am, so it's alright. Except that yesterday I woke up at 11 and didn't go to my computer science class, which was alright since I'm already like a chapter or two ahead from reading the textbook and it's all basic computer/html stuff that I already know. So then I skipped Microecon as well. I've skipped Econ for a few classes already except last Friday to take the first midterm, which I did okay on. The teacher is asian, and so she just goes by the textbook, and her powerpoint has examples which are taken directly from the textbook. Talk about waste of time going to class. I'm a chapter ahead reading that textbook too. One of the things I do online 'staying up' is reading the Chronicle online, trying to keep up with news somewhat. We're definitely never going to discuss current economic situations right now.
That said, my classes are pretty easy right now. I wanted to add a class, a 2-unit self-directed language-study, but it was too late. In the class, you just have to study for 6 hours a week in the language lab, and the fuckass obese middle-aged white woman at the desk said no, I couldn't add the class because then I would be 18 hours behind and frankly she doesn't think it's possible for me to make that up. Damn shit. Whatever I'll just continue to learn Finnish on my own anyways.
Okay, so today I also woke up late. Tues/Thurs I have Japanese at 9:30. Too fucking early, of course, but complications with my schedule with math crossed out, and this was the Japanese class that had the shortest waitlist. Yesterday in section for Japanese I took the first midterm part one. And today for the first 20 minutes of class was the second part of the first midterm, a listening test, I think. I woke up at 10. Ughh wth this hadn't happened in the previous weeks, my not even hearing my alarm clock. I didn't set it any earlier. Ehh next class I'll see if I can make it up or not. But yeah, not a big deal to me, the first midterm is 20% of the final grade, there's other tests, which should be okay so long as I don't oversleep again.
My other class is CAT, culture, art, technology. The main focus of Sixth College. The class is pretty interesting, because my professor is pretty good. He shows up videos off youtube and sometimes scenes off movies. (Today he started the class off with this tv ad. Watch!) But I'm just not good at writing papers, and there's another due on week 6. A good amount of reading for this class, which is, good. I need to read more so as not be dulled and boring like my f'ing roommates.
My roommates:
First, when I saw their names on the room assignment page online, I was like wtflol so asian! Meng Xu and Ah Choi? roflol fuck. Then after a couple weeks here, it's okay. They're nice, keep to themselves (—their laptops) so they don't bother me really and aren't the partying type, so in general, ok.
But now, damn shit they really are too fucking asian for me.
Both of them, they eat bowl/cup noodles everyday. Every f'in day. Even before class started, during welcome week, they were already on that shit.
The Shanghainese one, Melody (Meng Xu), okay hold on. BOTH of them, they like never go outside to talk on the phone. In my dorm, I have my headphones on almost all the time. Okay, back to the chinese roommate. Shanghainese seriously is yelling all the time. Maybe she is yelling on the phone in Shanghainese, or maybe it's just shanghainese. Well damn shit I don't want to hear Chinese anymore. Especially her singing along softly to C-Pop songs. Makes me never want to listen to C-pop ever again.
Alice (Ah Choi), my Korean roommate, is better, Or so I thought. K-pop is cool. I like K-pop. But f'in hell she is too f'in Korean. Always on her computer. The last few days she's been watching Heroes almost non-stop. Before that she was watching korean shows, anime, reading korean manga, playing maple story and other games. Now she's watching MISA (mihanda-saranghanda, korean drama, I've watched it, in like 9th grade). But she still watches a lot of korean shows. This is where it gets unbearable. She laughs kinda loud, and also claps and stomps her feet. If she doesn't stomp her feet, then she's kicking her feet kinda in the air, wit flip-flops still on. I have headphones on, but it gets too much and I have to go outside and listen to some more metal for a while. And the other night, she was talking on the phone a lot, in Korean, of course, but you know, with the english phrases koreans love: ohmygawd, are you serious, wut da hell. But she was on the phone for over half an hour. Ughh omg I need those V-Modas or any other good noise-isolating earbuds now.
I think that's enough blogging for now. I hope they don't google their names and find this. Ahaha.
Also, a couple nights ago, I borrowed this guy's skateboard without asking, and then I somehow screwed it up, I totally didn't notice, but after he got it back (and was pissed that I hadn't ask him) he noticed it was squeaking. Something was wrong with one of the back wheels. I went with him yesterday to get it fixed, so it's all good. Or I hope so. But maybe not, I must have seemed kinda off, though. I've been sick with a cold all the past week, and am not fully back yet *cough*, which adds to the discontent.
Another thing (ehh I'll just make this my once-every-while-i'm-not-well long post): The food here really isn't great at all. Ah I'm jealous of Davis food and their nice high-ceilinged clean dining halls. A coupe hours ago I got this lunch plate, salmon, macaroni, and potatoes. The salmon was dry and the macaroni and potatoes were really greasy, so after a few bites of each I threw it away and got a Foodworx chicken wrap, which is so much better. I also don't think I'm going to get pizza here ever again. I've figured my college dining hall diet: salads or wraps at Foodworx (the sixth college dining hall), sandwiches at Sierra Summit (in muir college) and better food-mashed potatoes and turkey or anything else okay but not too oily I hope at either places.
Wow this entry took almost an hour of my time. But now I'm all (or mostly) done venting about my roommates. Yay. Thanks for reading, if you did actually read through all that.
