So I moved in last Friday to college Ten at UCSC. From the start it was awesome, for the first time in my life, my parents called me responsible. Which I always wanted to hear, because they told all my teachers that I was extremely irresponsible, but my high school teachers always begged to differ. I live in a double, but it feels like a single because my roommate is barely here. I don't feel homesick at all, but I do miss Filipino food. The move in was very smooth. The fisrst thing I did as soon as my parents was off the campus, was go to the Rainbow Lounge, which is the lounge room of the Rainbow Floor, which is right above my floor which is the all girl dorm. I met the boys who live directly above my dorm, they said I am completely adorable, so they introduced me to everyone on the Rainbow Floor. I had a good time there. I stayed there till dinner time when we had to split into our floors and eat with our floors.
The next day, I was hanging out with the boys who live above me, Adam and Ryan, when suddenly my parents pop up at my door. They yelled at me for having boys in my dorm and they wouldn't believe me when I said the boys were gay. So when that was happening Ryan said to Adam, "LET'S MAKE OUT!" and they did. My parents stopped yelling at me after that, but later they told me to try bringing them back to God...which kinda made me laugh. They then dropped off some food and a bluetooth head set, for me. And my dad helped me raise my bed. After that I went to the College Ten Dance, which was fun. I bumped into a girl, who was a bit shy, but I saw her always sneaking a peak into the rainbow floor. So I asked her why, she was always doing that. Turned out she was a bit shy, because she never met gay kids her own age. So I introduced her to the kids who lived on the rainbow floor. She enjoyed that.
The next day, we had our mandatory meetings, which was kind of boring, but we had fun night, that night. So I went on a night hike to Tree Nine, and all the kids who lived on the Rainbow Floor came, and so did a lot of other kids, when we got to the tree, the leaders told us to have a minute of silence, but Adam screamed like a girl becase something furry brushed against him. We had a good laugh from that. After the hike we went to the Open Mic at the Cafe Revolucion. It was really cool.
The next night it was free day, which was pretty much us just going around exploring the campus all day. There was a rummage sale where some one was selling a fridge for 15$ but it was dirty and the unit needed to be cleaned so that it run a lot better, so I haggled it down to 5$. Which was awesome. That night it was Slug Fest, the school wide dance, which was fun, until some jackass climbed to this big branch and the tree branch fell onto the crowd, good thing noone but the jackass got hurt. We ended the night by playing DDR in the Rainbow Lounge.
Yesterday, we had orientations, but that was okay. Last night was teh awesome because we had the Boardwalk Frolic, which was a night when the Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk is only open to us students, I ate a crap load of junkfood, Ryan bought us all Cotton Candy, which was cool. They have those old style merry go rounds that have Brass Rings to grab and throw into the target. Which I think is awesome because I am real sucker for the Catcher in the Rye, so I took one of the brass rings, because I hope that I too can have a moment of elightenment. We topped off the night by getting funnel cakes and even more cotton candy. It was really fun.
Today we have to go to all the meeting for our safety. Bleh.

Those two guys, Ryan and
Those two guys, Ryan and Adam sound very nice. Seems like you're having a better time being a freshman than I am. But then again, I got to a sports/party school (damnit) and the LGBT club here was disbanded due to lack of interest last year.
Ah, UCSC that was pretty
Ah, UCSC that was pretty popular with my graduating class, I think I have five friends that went there.
It sounds like you've had a pretty awesome orientation experience--way better than what I got at my school, which involved us having to get up at the crack of dawn to sit through diversity discussions....
I'm still jealous of you
I'm still jealous of you because you get to go to my top choice school. LOL
V is the bomb, he blows with anarchy!!!

Our orientation was a total nightmare--and sometimes Mills is a total bitch...other times I find I'm head over heels for half my professors.
But UCSC was up on my list when I was applying and my friends that went there all seem pretty happy with it. Also I'm going to be in debt for the next 80 years--and you totally shouldn't have that problem at a UC. =)
Seriously, you're at an amazing school.
I know UCSC is amazing, I am
I know UCSC is amazing, I am just pissed to get a rejection letter, saying that they couldn't picture me at their school.

Mills is a sick and horrible
Mills is a sick and horrible place--I really mean that. We have a lot of strange issues, apparently that includes randomly rejecting people. I swear they just pull names out a hat when it comes to sending out acceptance letters.
(We have about a....40% transfer rate--seriously.)
Oh, and the food is ridiculously bad.
And someone got shot outside my dorm room last weekend.
Okay that makes me feel a
Okay that makes me feel a lot better. LoL, I kinda feel they might be doing that because they let in a bunch of girls in my school, who never even made it to the honor roll. I just thought they liked athletes.

I swear they let me in
I swear they let me in because my extracurriculars included being co-creator of a group called cookie club and they thought I'd bake them delicious treats.... I'm contemplating taking some time off.
