I'm on top of things...
(Well I think I am)

I'm having a great time, but midterms and papers are killers. Within a week and a half, I have 2 midterms that will make or break me and 2 papers due that will make me breakout. I will also be doing some cool new things, such as singing in a choir and trying out for UCDavis's Pilipino Culture Night. Enough of this Xanga for now. I need to drink more Green Tea to stay up to study.

Midterms went fcuking horrible!!!! Damn. I messed up, big! I underestimated it all. Now I just have to work harder. Buckle down on the school work. Midterms are coming around the corner again on November 17. Shit.

All I have to say is I KNOW BETTER!

I'm amazed on how exciting life is right now. Despite the midterms and papers due next week, I feel uber fantastic. The stress and excitement makes it all worthwhile.

Things that I learned outside of class:

• Keak Da Sneak is coming to Davis on Oct. 19, 2006 and I have class at night  
• Facebook has taken over universities
• The Hyphy Movement is everywhere
• Country music is disliked by many people
• DC (dining commons) food is getting nauseating
• Biking is essential to UCD freshmens
• The smell of cows is normal to people living in Tercero area (I love it)
• University of Vermont T.A.s are pretty HOT, well mine is.
• Karaoking is an essential part of socializing on my floor...
• SoCal kids HELLA dislike the word HELLA
• You can't take the YAY from the BAY AREA
• Some sorority & fraternity parties aren't worth going to
• Coupons are good to have
• Free is a good word to use when inviting people
• Doing laundry is a hassle (appreciate having free laundry)
• Don't get a class that goes past 6pm
• Don't get a schedule with an hour or 2 between each class
• Filipinos make up 4% of UCD population
• The internet is a good distraction from studying, reading, and writing.

That's it for now, I'm still learning. I'll be in Fresno on Friday the 13th. I'm skipping 2 classes to see you my fellow Fresnans or Clovisers.

I've been in Davis for about 5 days. It was sorta scary being on my own for the first few days. Now it feels pretty normal. My first class starts at 510pm. I plan on walking there with a floormate.

I still miss my family and friends at home but I shouldn't worry about it that much because I'll see them soon. I just have to keep my head focused...
