Diary of a Freshman Bruin

<p>11:21 - Discovery. They have some...uhm, rated NA-17...programs on UCLA cable. Kudos to my roommate for discovering that.</p>

<p>11:31 - Good gosh, I now blame the Internet for my troubles. And I will now officially diagnose myself with ADHD. To assauge my conscience.</p>

<p>to give you an excuse..................</p>

<p>/procrastination</p>

<p>We're both causing procrastination among each other. Symbiosis, no?</p>

<p>And in other news, at 11:35 PM, I have become a Junior Member! XDD</p>

<p>No-doz pills would be appropriate now. Say, it's like I'm chain-posting now. I'm a chain-poster! Must...stop...smoking...CC!</p>

<p>@8:13am. Class in approx 45 minutes. Might be surprised with a quiz. T/A says she was unsure... hopefully nothing to fret about. Signs of stress = consecutive showers. No signs apparent yet. Waiting until mid-terms with pen and paper in hand. Signing off -- </p>

<p>-E.P.</p>

<p>Side-Note: Ayumi Hamasaki's "Real Me" is so bad it's good.</p>

<p>I am tired of this crap. </p>

<p>Screw you chicken salads. . . it is not working out. :(</p>

<p>Oh and I love Ayumi. Blah. </p>

<p>Notes for Today: </p>

<p>. . . Midterms approach in approximately 2 weeks.</p>

<p>lots of work and im trying to get involved in several organizations. HAHAHAH</p>

<p>adsdjfghjijkkl;amasdsad;dasdsa </p>

<p>HAHAHAHHA</p>

<p>. . . . . . . . .</p>

<p>Me too Nam.</p>

<p>@6:20PM: </p>

<p>+1 hour of PSET work
+2-3 hours of reading</p>

<p>Signing off,
-E.P.</p>

<p>stop calling me nam you're confusing me</p>

<p>I told you, Emmeline, I told you. Nam is just too much of a coincidence.</p>

<p>Midterms approach in approximately 2 weeks.
^OMG I am barely thinking about midterms. Damn you quarter system!</p>

<p>I am starting to feel homesick. Symptoms began appearing approximately 2 days ago and no signs of approaching illness were apparent during the first few weeks of school. </p>

<p>-Home-cooked meals
-My own bedroom
-My parents
-My dog :( :( :( :(
-Easy HW and no worries</p>

<p>And this too shall pass.</p>

<p>:( </p>

<p>In other news, I have a lot of reading to do for one of my courses. It's not that bad but it takes a lot of time to annotate them. (About half of my exams are based on my readings.) I read a lot of primary documents in my AP history courses so I'm used to this -- just not the volume of reading that I have to do. To give a rough estimation, I had about 150 pages of reading to do my first week and 100-something for my second week. The number of pages oscillates and I don't have a good tally on it right now. I get problem sets on a daily or weekly basis. </p>

<p>As for my general college experience - so far I've been passively absorbing the environment, workload, and my social surroundings. It might just be that it's early for me but I feel numb. </p>

<p>It still feels like I'm at summer camp but for an extended period of time. I go to class "arts and crafts" for a few hours, sleep in a room with 2 random campers and have my own bunk bed, and eat the same routine of food on a daily basis. It's strange. </p>

<p>-E.P. phone home :(</p>

<p>(I'll get over this soon.)</p>

<p>if you read the parents thread mid-october is the time students feel homesick (if they get that way) - classes picking up, routine settles in, initial excitement disappears, sleep deprivation/too muchpartying/falling behind on school work... everyone is sick right now. in my lecture class like 100 people were coughing at once.</p>

<p>womg womg . . . :ROLLEYES:</p>

<p>Ahh, the life of a UCLA freshman. So much to experience, combined with absolute freedom, tends to make one crazy these first few weeks. </p>

<p>I can't wait to be a sophomore, so that I can actually have some experience. Well, experience is good, in a lotta things. Hah!</p>

<p>In other news, I have an essay due tomorrow. Time to excerise my procrastination talents.</p>

<p>Thanks a lot. You ruined the thread. GOSH. </p>

<p>THANKS
A
LOT .</p>

<p>OMG. You edit too much! Now I'm really confused as to why my thread is so insensitive! Is everything I do calculated to be bad?</p>

<p>It's MY thread. :mad:</p>
