rocking up 40mins late to orientation to win a laundry bag...
copy paste from an email to friend because i'm too lazy to type twice =P
I've heard its been raining heaps in melbourne since I left. Mike Wong tested the gmail phone call system thingy yesterday and it worked! woot, free calls.
oh i set up a berkeley email today and i attended a reaaaaaly long orientation, it feels so weird to be called an "international" student, because i just think of asian fobs. There were definitely a lot of Asians today thoughat the orientation.
funny thing was i slept in for orientation because of the late phone call with mike and ZOMG 40mins late to orientation GAAH! my EYES couldn't even open, so I didnt brush my teeth and ran downstairs and phewwwww they officially start at 9am, and sign ups were at 8am. But yerrr..that was bad XD. And I looked so crap and unenthusiastic for their "Go Bears!" pep talk.
they associate being a UC Berkeley student as being a Bear. They have Bear everything,
so now I'm a student I'm also technically a bear. weird.
i personally think their mascot is creepy.
but they had this icebreaker where you need to get peoples emails for certain catergories
like: shares a same hobby, comes from north america, studies something you think is interesting etc etc and I WON!! bwhahahaaha. out of all the 15 tables of international students i won ..lol...
i got a laundry bag as a prize, so yay i dont have to buy one and now i can do my laundry ^^
and and aND, i took an option of a berkeley hike up its massive hill and ZOMG up there you can see the view into san fran and the golden gate bridge and all of the bay area. so neat.. but sun in eyes @_@ I saw two deers on campus!! and lots of squirrels too.
okay so i didnt' take this photo but ripped it from the net, but its same enough =P *link*
got my id card a day back and best thing is that it can act like a debit card for surrounding shops, FREE PUBLIC BUS TRANSPORT! how awesome is that. the bus can take you to san Francisco too. and gets you into the gym for the whole semester for $10. hmm..i could work out a lot hahaaha.
international people have interesting names like Pontus, Jet pronounced Yet from Netherlands, Farbian (Italy) etc etc.
oh and i don't talk to hobos on the road (for mum's peace of mind). There are many homeless people around campus and we have been told they go into classrooms to sleep ><"
okay karaoke and coffee is served in three hours.^^
laterz <3
