week 0
so this was just my last ever week 0 at ucsd. did a lot of tabling for apsa this past week and did a few of the welcome week activities that were going on. mainly, i just went to the different dances (marshall, all campus, warren, multigreek) and went to the summer bridge reunion. 1st day of class was pretty cool...had 2 classes, my sign language lab class and tep 117. not 1 word was verbally said in my sign class, as we just practiced saying our names in sign, and played some charades. tep 117 was full...out of 120 seats in the class...there were at least 150 peeps in the class, 30 of whom were trying to get in. ian and i, who are already in the class, came 5 min before the class started and had to stand in the back. that night was the APSA ice cream social.
friday was day 2 of school, where i had 2 other classes. hdp 191 and asl class (not lab). good news/bad news...good news is i'm the only male in a class full of 35 females...bad news is I'M THE ONLY MALE IN A CLASS FULL OF 35 FEMALES! i feel like im gonna have to be the voice of all males in this class...it already started on friday when we had to defend or argue against the statement "males and females develop their personalities differently due to the shape of their brains and their differing hormones." yep...i had to tread carefully when speaking. even more pressure was...the professor knew my name (obviously cuz im the only male in the class)...i hope i make it out alive! asl class was pretty much the same as asl lab...no talking! that night, i had dinner w/ Kim, Stephanie (Kim's roomie), Lauren, Ryan, Annie, & Daniel at fuddruckers before i headed out to the KP bonfire at paradise point. got boba at Green Tea House w/ Cerissa, Abby, Gail, & Daniel (different one) and headed out to La Jolla Cove for a bit and hung out @ Cerissa's dorm.
Saturday was the APSA bonfire @ La Jolla Shores...so that was pretty much all day...then got more boba @ Tapioca Express w/ Cerissa, Abby, & Gail...and hung out some more @ Cerissa's dorm...yep, sometimes repetition can be fun.
so now, instead of practicing my fingerspelling for asl, here i am typing out this blog. tomorrow morning, i start my research by tutoring at torrey pines high school before going to class. and so school starts forreals...tomorrow. stay tuned...we'll be back after these messages >=0
